Show COLLEGIATE LIFE <br><br> BASKETBALL. <br> The basketball season opened for this year with a game between the Junior-Senior and Freshmen-Sophomore teams. Previously a meeting had been held for the election of captains. Allen was elected for captain of the Junior-Senior team, and Hutchins was elected as captain of the Freshmen-Sophomore team. <br> The Junior-Senior team won the game with a score of seven to three. The most noticeable feature of the game was the tendency of several of the players of both teams to play football. There were several good long end runs, but, sad to say, the referee would not count them. The flying tackle which was even abolished from football this year was much in evidence. <br> Basketball line-up: <br> Senior-Juniors. Fresh.-Sophomores. <br> R. F. Crandal ............H.

We expect to get a very fine team from the two class teams. <br><br> Evolution. <br> Evolution is an integration of matter and concimitant [concomitant] dissipation of motion, during which the matter passes from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, and during which the retained motion undergoes a parallel transformation. <br><br> HAVE COLLEGIATE ATHLETICS BEEN WORTH WHILE? <br> The fact that the Collegiate athletic teams have won few games in which they have participated during half a dozen years past, might lead some to conclude that little has been gained in maintaining athletics in the school, especially since the conditions under which the teams have practised [practiced] and played have been adverse, and often discouraging. No one familiar with the school affairs in the period referred to would attempt to make assertions regarding Collegiate's great and numerous victories won on the field, but any fairminded person knowing the conditions would naturally be led to conclude that the time spent in practising [practicing] for the games in one line of athletics or the other, was well and profitably spent, and that the experience of our men, gained in their unassuming and modest games, has served them well, as they have passed on to other and higher institutions. <br> A number of men who received their first knowledge of football and baseball playing on the Collegiate teams not only have made ‘Varsity caliber as they have gone on in their school work, but also have been stars on teams of the greatest schools of our country, and others who have not done such brilliant work in this line have at least done well in their later playing. The efficient coaching in schools both east and west of us has brought latent athletic ability that was not entirely unnoticed in the men while in attendance here. One striking example will serve to illustrate. A Collegiate graduate of the class of 1902, continued his work at Princeton, and did <br><br> GIRLS' ATHLETICS<br> ? ? <br><br> |
