Another season of basketball ha flitted away into the dim distance leaving as a memory a splendid record of six victories out of nine cheduled games. In addition to this worthy record tl1e management is able to turn ove,· a neat profit to the athletic trea ury, a fact in itself not often recorded in the annals of Otterbein athletic history.
