The Basket Ball Season of ~25 D URING the season of 1925 the Terror five faced some of the cleverest Under the leadership in the eastern part of the country. aggregations of Captain Trice, the squad met and defeated Williams and Manager many fast combinations, while those of the snappier crews pinned Shroyer's team to the mat, usually by low scores. The fast passing and clever shooting of Grant; Williams, Denny Young and Reds Smith, piled up a total of 373 points, while the close guarding of Ez Williams and Cap Weigle, held the finest forwards in the country to the comparatively low score of 362 counters. Such crack teams as the Y. M. H. A., Fort Howard, University of Maryland Dental School, Blue Ridge (conquerors of Mt. St. Mary's) and Bridgewater, fell beneath the stormy attack of the Terror tossers. Washington College, the State champions, after a terrific neck-and-neck battle, finally drew away to win by a score of 21 to 15. This battle settled the State championship, and was fought in a continual furore of excitement. Washington was behind for the majority of the contest, but managed to forge into a comparatively comfortable lead in the last minute, thus securing the State title. The team was beaten in a slight majority of its contests. However, the season was begun under great difficulties, a heavy hole in the scoring artillery because of Stanley's absence, and the right to practice in the Armory denied. The team developed rapidly during the season, battling against the heavy opposition of an extremely ambitious schedule. All the Varsity men, with the exception of Cap' tain Williams, have two more years, and for the next season the same line-up is available. So the prospects are good for a great squad of Green and Gold champions in 1926. BASKETBALL 192 5 Ez WILLIAMS, Captain. TOM TRICE, Manager. Western Maryland 27 vs. Penn State Forestry 31 16 vs. Y. M.
