...goal and thus makes difficult a throw which, had it been made in the first place from a distance, would have been comparatively easy. With the exception of Grant, who has been taken from the Freshman squad and is now playing right forward, the men all throw baskets poorly. Grant is accurate on basket-throwing, but is inclined to be backward in getting into the play. K. Smith has been put back at left forward where he is playing a steady game. At left guard Bigelow, who has replaced Fosdick, is playing a strong defensive game and at the same...

The team seems to have lost the spirit of fight which showed itself in the first part of the season and in addition to this the basket throwing of the men has deteriorated.

...account it is difficult to forecast the outcome of the game. Since the team played Amherst it has been steadily improving and the practice last night was much more satisfactory than it has been for some time before. The men were put through nearly an hour's work of basket throwing and in a practice game which followed with the second team, they showed much improvement, scoring 26 points to 2, in the first half. The men blocked effectively and at the same time got well into forwarding the ball. The fault of failing to advance the ball by long...
