BASKBT BALL.
The game of basket ball, althougn
young in the Uimersity, has already
made a place for Itself in the field of
athletics. The game, was invented by
James Naismith severrJ yeun. ago and
was for some time played exclusively
bv the Young Men's Christum Asso
ciations of the country, it was not
long before the colleges, recognizing
the merits of the game, took it up, and
they have their lmisket ball season ac
coiniMinied by championship and inter-collegiate
games.
The athletic clubs are never slow in
getting onto a good tiling and so a
little later the game was introduced
bv titoe club of the American mateur
AtMetiC Union. Other well known
clubs soon followed suit, among them
being such clubs as the Knickerbock
er, the Crescent, the Venn, yheel club,
the New York and the. Chicago Ath
letic clubs. These colleges nnd ath
letic clubs which represent the best
!. .i.i..4s,., s AiiiiM-ica. are ununii-
moiis in their praise of the game, both
for the pleasure derived from It and
for the excellent preparation afforded
for spring and summer events.
Physical trainers recommend the
game to athletics as the bout possible
indoor training for nll-rouud work. It
is a general developer, as every muscle
of the body Is brought in to play. Ita'lso
inorea.sos speed and accuracy of move
ment ond gives endurance to the
player. 1iist year in our own Held day
this was demonstrated as the men
who made the most points were bas
ket ball player-, and they attribute
not a little of their success to the ex
cellent training they rceehed in the
game.
This year the game has taken a
stronger hold on both sexes and com
petition for places on the two Univer
sity teams is much keener.
VesIeyan and Don ue have intro
duced Hie game this year and are play
ing it in lieu of football, nud from re
ports they seem to have turned a 1

over to basket ball. Dr. Hasting-.,

that their team does not fail on

ac-
count of lack of encourajrement.
The University team is stronger this
year than last. They have hnd the
benefit of Inst year's experience nnd
also of closer competition for plnces.
The team has not been officially cho
sen and changes may occur at any
time.
V. E. Andreson, the captain, is an
all-around athlete, and is probably
the strongest player on the team. In
a scrimmage he is sure to secure the
ball and is a hard man to play against.
For a while he played forward and
showed up well there, but finally de-
cuieii 10 go 10 ins oki position ns
guard since he nnd his brother, R. D.,
play a stronger game when together.
C. M. Story, forward, plays his usual
swift game and is a wonder. He has

opponent. He is the quickest mam on
tne team ami js a good goal tdirower.
M. S. Moore, center, is the tallest
man in the University, when he
reaches after the ball. Be plays a
good game and usually starts the ball
in the right direction when it is put
in play.
Cortleyou, Omaha's center last year,
is the strongest new player. He is a
phenomenal goal thrower and will
make the team.
Many old men have improved over
their playing of last year and new
ones have done some good work for
novices. Morton, Smith and Hoard
have shown up well as guards. Mor
ison, who played on the first Univer
sity team in '9G, plays a vicious game
and may make the team. Pillsbury
is another promising player. Bloom
ingdnle, Walker and Griffith are play
ing for forward and keep the contest
warm.
This list of men is an assurance
that the University will put up a
strong team which ought to have the
lile.nal support of the whole school in
the game tomorrow night. Encour
