Aiout two weeks before ThanksgivlUS when the first call for candidates for the basketball team was sen out, a squad cf fifteen more or less experienced players and two veterans reported. and after about a week's practice there was a general rumor going the rounds j that the high school team would not ran A-l team, but under the iron hand j of Coach Whaley the team soon began j to show some real basketball. j The high school team opened the sea- j son with a one-s.ded win over the j Folarines. the junior team from the i 'wis Club. Then they were defeated! hv Lowell at Lowell by a 110-15 score! but the team at this time was playing! ;oo much of an individual game and! they defeated themselves, but since then j they have found themselves and now ! play a brand of ball that will make! any one sit up and take notice.

At least there was no special mention mad of new plays which could be stamped as tlse vintage of 191T. Many eld-time plays, particularly the rios-crosa, w ere brought out cf . the archives and usd by many teams; Pern used the plays against Cornell and also used a play in which a forward p.s was developed out of the lateral pns. This play was particularly successful egatnst Cornell. Jesse Harper, the Notre Dame men'"r, gave his backs a set of dancin? p'Snals which were disconcerting to the Army-, but the Irish used mostly the plays which have been used for the last two or three years.
