Basketball Begins at Wilberforce

Wilberforce, Ohio, Dec. 8. The basketball team got under way December 7th when the Gold and Green teams met. The Gold team consisted of old players and the Green team consisted of new men. Howard, Lincoln, Clark, Simmons, West Virginia, Morehouse, Fisk and Morgan are to be the home attractions with a few of the Y. M. C. A. teams.

The team is making a fifteen day tour during the middle of February, meeting such teams as Howard, Lincoln, Hampton, Simmons, West Virginia and Morgan.

The squad has brought out from 50 to 10 men who are working out three times a week against the Academy team. The regular varsity team has not been on the court as yet because they are members of the football team.

Wilberforce Academy, which was recently admitted to the Ohio High School Athletic Association, will have a basketball team this year and will play many out of state teams along with the regular schedule.
