...basketball practice yesterday afternoon the University team defeated the second by the score of 28 to 12. The work of the first team in all departments was much improved over the practice earlier in the week. On the defense which has been weak in all positions, the men showed an ability to cover their opponents so effectually that the second team was in possession of the ball only for very short periods.

Although the play of the eleven, when compared to what it has been heretofore, showed marked improvement in nearly every way, it was plain to be seen that the team was startlingly weak in many particulars, and against heavier and stronger opponents must have either taxed its resources more severely or suffered a possibly severe defeat...
