Freshman Basketball
A group of thirty-five playel"S greeted Coach Glenn "Red" Jacoby's initial call for freshman basketball the last day of NovembeL Not foreseeing the early disorganizing of the team because of financial and scholastic reasons, the squad settled down to hard work in preparation for a tough ten-game schedule. The evening practice sessions disclosed some promising though not outstanding material. After a month and a half of practices, the Idaho Babes tackled their fil"St opponents, the W.S.C. yearlings, and were defeated 31 to 21. The game showed early season raggedness on both sides. In the second game played January 19 with Lewiston higli school, the frosh came out on the long end of a 42 to 33 score. The last game, with the Lewiston Normal School on February 2, resulted in a 32 to 26 win for the frosh. At the close of the first semester the squad was depleted to three members as a result of the combined attack of low scholarship and stringent financial conditions. This unforeseen occurrence was most unfortunate, for the team was just then begin路 ning to exhibit the perfection of a well-coached group of men. Of course, Coach Jacoby was forced to cancel the three remaining games on the schedule. For the rest of the season, these three players: Ray Rilding, Victor Warner, and Junior Jones, with some players from the varsity squad, formed the Junior Varsity quintet, which entered the intramural competition in "A" league.
