C. over the size of scores and the general nature of the play, one is strongly reminded of the season of ic;Oi-'o2, for this year as well as during team went through the season undefeated. To put the matter more strongly, M. A. C. has never been defeated in basket ball since its organization under the supervision of the Athletic Associa tion. last year the O ne often hears it said that the success of the M. A. C. basketball team is due to the fact that it is more used to a slippery floor than other teams and that most of its games are played at home. This is not the truth since the opponents of M. A. C. have been defeated on their home grounds, so to speak, by decisive scores. In this article it will not be the purpose to go into excessive lauda tion of each player but certainly the College community, and in particular those interested in athletics, should bear in mind that M. A. C. possesses team. a very remarkable basketball M. A. C. holds the same rank in basketball in the State that the U. of M. holds in football; that is to say, in their respective spheres each team is in a class by itself. During the winter of 1904 M. A. C. should make a trip west. It is not idle talk to say that games could and should be arranged with a couple of the leading Chicago teams, Knox college possibly, or the University of Illinois, University of Iowa, Uni versity of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin. This would not make an exceedingly long trip and the dis tance from place to place would be by easy stages. It is hard for one w ho has always lived east of Chica go to realize how well all branches of athletics are supported in the west. All the institutions named would without doubt be willing to arrange games with M. A. C. and give guar to cover expenses antees enough provided they were convinced that M. A. C. had " class," and t he M. A. C. team could at least term itself " Champions of Michigan," a term that ought to have some significance in the west. T he teams of these various institutions would also show M. A. C. every courtesy, for they have the true athletic spirit and be lieve in fair play. Twelve days would cover the period of time nec essary for this trip and all expenses could be paid. It is not too early now to solicit faculty action on the matter and plan for the trip. Should M. A. C. play these institutions, it is probable that the string of victories would be broken. team A ny over-confidence, lack of work or of training on the part of M. A. C. would tend to produce defeat. M. A. C. will lose T o w er next year and while he is a valuable man, there ought to be someone in College by the next season w ho could take his place creditably. GAMES OF THE SEASON. T he scores for the past season are tabulated below. In all the games played, with the exception of the Detroit Y. M. C. A. game, the line up was Balbach, center; Haften- kampand Schaefer forwards; T o w er and Tuttle, guards. In the Detroit game Morgan played in place of Schaefer. T he scores made by M. A. C. are indicated in the left hand column and games away played from home are also indicated. 43-8 M. A. C. vs. Detroit Y. M. C. A. 49-2 M. A. C. vs. Hillsdale. 23-7 M. A. C. vs. Ypsi.

Before making a slight mention of each individual player let it be said team worked all through the season under difficulties. It was necessary to practice in the armory after supper, and in fact the armory could not always be secured. T he new bath-house should afford some conveniences next year, but gymnasium facilities will still be lacking. Of all the games played the last game of the season, the one with the Grand Rapids Y. M. C. A. indicated what M. A. C. really could do. T he success of the team is due to the fact that it has remarkable team work besides possessing sev eral individual stars. J O S E PH P. H A F T E N K A MP ( c a p tain) lives in Grand Rapids. He played for three years on the Y. M. C. A. of that city, and has plaved three years at M. A.

T R A CK the night of In the in-door meet to be held at June 5th, Albion tumbling, horizontal and parallel bar, club swinging and wrestling are the events. In a college the size of M. A. C. there surely are men w ho can win points in these events. T he College has always been strong in wrestling, and there is no good reason why it should not be in these other events. T h e re are no "star men" in track events this year who can win a number of first prizes as in some years past. T he success of largely the track team will depend upon the number of seconds and thirds won, and that every man with any ability what ever, will come out and do all he can to make a successful team. is hoped it M.
