...floor game was very good. He might be used more advantageously at forward than at center, however, if a capable substitute were available for the latter position. Eaton and Eby, the two forwards, will be kept at their positions for the present, but Swede, Freshman Cross-country captain, is apt to displace one of them later. Swede, who gained his basketball experience at Mercersburg Academy, came out for the team only recently, but he has done effective work in practice...

The leading forwards are Eaton, Eby, Phelps, Thomas, and Carden. Eaton and Eby are likely to start tomorrow, but Phelps is apt to force either to the sidelines.

It is apparent that...

No ray of light is shed upon his drab existence that is not promptly followed by compensating catastrophe. Each misfortune he welcomes with an apt witticism. It is said of him that he proceeds " triumphing from failure to failure." Many of his set-backs are in themselves inconsiderable. They form an overwhelming aggregate...
