...with the design f humoring the I. C. A. A. A. A. committee, they have kindly consented to reduce the charge to fifty cents. Very likely the charge of $1.00 has kept a number of novices from competing, but that is not the point. The A. A. U. must understand that if an amateur is recognized as such by the Intercollegiate Association, he does not need an additional certificate.

...Sargent is at present trying to arrange to have two basket ball teams from outside the college, composed of men who thoroughly understand the game, play an exhibition match in the Gymnasium, in order that the men here may understand the game better. Two games can be played at the same time in the Gymnasium, one on the floor and one in the cage, while in good weather a third field can be laid out on the asphalt court back of the Gymnasium. Though no regular teams have as yet been organized, scrub teams play every afternoon. Dr. Sargent does...
