A tentative dute for a game of bas ketball with the University of Minne sota, has been made by Manager Boers lor January 21st, In Minneapolis. II games ca.i be scheduled en route to do fray part of the expenses and warrant our accepting Minnesota's proposition, we will meet the Gophers on that date. With the lesson learned Friday even ing lu the game against Highland Parl marked- im.roemcnt should begin to be apparent from now on. .Our for wards will have to learn how to hang on to swift passes, for to tho fumbling ot these swift throws are due many of the failures to score Friday night. Whether or not our long swift passes, il handled properly, aro more effective than the short pass used by Highland Pnrk is still a question. A combination of the two ought to be thtybeM, and the short pass, at the side lines, where thete Is more open space and less chaiKc of blocking should ho .rac tlced more.
