The first meeting of the basketball players was held Monday. The group showed the proper spirit and the basketball outlook is optimistic. The whole meeting was taken up with a discussion of possible plans for the coming basketball season. It was decided to have a league of eight teams to be picked up from members in the gym classes. The players will be divided up as evenly as possible and one man will be elected captain to lead each team. At the next meeting of basketball players Monday, November 3rd, the plans will be furthered and a league organization completed. The league will probably start after Thanksgiving. A formal call has been sounded for all basketball players who wish to try out for the “big” team to represent the “Y.” Practices will be held Tuesday and Thursday at 9 p.m. Saturday night at 8:30 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 3:30…. A handball tournament will start Thanksgiving.
