Dental Students Dominate First Marquette Basketball Team Marquette University is celebrating the 100th Anniversary of men’s basketball at Marquette. Five of the 1917 team’s original seven players were dental students, making the School of Dentistry the valuable sixth man. The first basket in the team’s first game against Whitewater Normal at Whitewater on January 13, 1917, was made by Marquette’s Albert Delmore, D ’18. Other dental school players included James Devine, D ’17, John Fay, D ’18, John Johnston, D ’19, and Conrad Kolb, D ’18. Delmore, injured a few games later, was replaced by yet another dental school student, Hugh Evans, D ’19.
