DORTON......................................GuardFreshman basketball was less successful this year than before. Not that the team could not win, for they did plenty of that, winning nearly all the games played, including some with the 'Varsity. The material was there, but the class spirit seemed to be lacking.During the middle part of the season the team practically disbanded, getting out only once or twice a week for scrimmage with the 'Varsity. Some of the men made the 'Varsity squad and the others who had not quit, still clung together in a creditable manner, going out into the wilds whenever a game was necessary, and winning it.At all events, the green-clad warriors showed promise at all points of the game and afforded some real encouragement for next year. From the Freshman teams the university coaches always pick their material for next season, and it has gradually developed into one of the new institutions of the University, which will continue for some time. The Freshman teams, brought as the result of Conference rulings, are refineries for future University athletic teams in which the small faults are rounded out of the players.115 |
