./ ··t I Resume of 1924 Basketball ATE is the only word in a limited vocabulary that can describe the results of the 1924 season. At the start, the team had a bright prospect for a wonderful season. Then fate took its first part by incapacitating several of the first-string men. The first four games were a clinch for a wonderfully fast team. Then the team became discouraged because its fast combination was broken by injuries and by faculty intervention. Every game lost proved to be a heart-wrenching affair by a loss of one or two points. Suddenly the team struck its stride and walked through Blue Ridge and St. John's. The spirits of the team were at high tide once more. Each game won and each lost were battles of a highly accomplished team. Again fate played a trump. Stanley was called to the bedside of his dying father, and was lost to the team for the rest of the year. With the main cog lost, only sheer nerve and fight enabled the team to win an occasional game. On the whole though, the season was a successful one. Every game lost was by such a close score that the supporters of the Terror Basketers were highly pleased. Every man deserves the highest commendation by stand- ing the gaff of injuries and then coming back for more. A game bunch of real men made the 1924 Terror combination a successful team. ~..'
