President L, 10, Smith was the

President Smith told the Alumni

diiring the past few yeaj'H and
nometlhing about his plans for the

of the college have been reduced
from aboiult seven hundred thous

ing, J wa.^ aware of the tensene^is
thalt filled the multitudes. I'-inBlly
through the door marched in the
meinliers of the Faculty team,
l>rs, llairkiema, I*rencih, Prof.
I'rior, Ivenneth Hughes and Coach
l^’',vs;vl. The- Bankers *fl)llowed next
with Ben Ijilien, Archie Isreal, Ed
die Yurgaitis, Hay Cannon, J?en
Bullock, Amos Shelto-n,
After a brief warm up both
team.s lined up for what was to
l>e a spectacular game. Both cen-*
ter.s, Yurgaitis and llark-ema lined
up, llarkema in jf. low crouching
poKition Vurgaitis. poised on his
toes, Ilef«i;ee Cheek tosNed up the
ball w'hich ^’as immedately snaj)-
ped into action.
, Tlie .swiftness of the players
and the alert action of both the
teams made one of the most re
markable games yet witnessed in
the g,vm. There was revealed to
light many new pointers on the
game including i)a.s«es positions,
blocking and flying leapn and
kan.gairo-o trucking.
Professor Prior, much to the
thrill of the crijwd ])layed a re
markable game his (uick twist
and runs at a thirty degree angle
have yet to be beaten. His perfect
nonchalance and naive attitude
While jumping center created much
envy amongst the otlier team. Dr,
Harkemi^’s flying leap.s'in a jack- '
knife i)o.'.tiou were the most out-»
standing cal:isthet)ic» ^ introduced
into this field of sport. I was
niuch interested in another par-
ticuliir play of Harkeima’s, that
of holding the ball in the oppon
ents hand and tireing him out at
the «-ame time by doing a pendu
lum swing from the chest region.
The te;im work of Hughes and
Fysel was envied by Ooacih Wal
ker who was an interested s]>ec-
tator. Fysel'ai corkscrew turns and
zig-zaig light dribbles afforded
Hug'hes good advantage to score,
Hughes was best noted for his re
trieving the ball from the basket
and with a cork bouncing dribble
endinj? in' a back bresvking stop
he would toss tihe ball through
the basket for a scoring point.
