Football season is over. Simmons
must now turn her attention toward

bo proud of tho splendid record of last

and coming out victorious in cloven of
them won for' Simmons College a high
place among tho stars. However tho
squad that fought so hard for that position-can

together against enemy squads. Only

year. In order to retain her placo
toward the top in basketball It will
be- necessary for the now squad to
work with increased vigor and enthu
siasm. Bradley Newman and Shaw
will bo tho leaders; and with Bark'
ley tho star center and a formor Bay-
lor star in tho game to bo with us
after Christmas It seems certain that
Simmons shall have a winning; team
another year. Tho Marston Gymna-
sium will ho completed in a few mora
dayB providing for the College tho
finest basketball court in the ontlro
Btate. With all theso advantages and
wonderful prospects tho outlook in this
field of athletics for Simmons this
year is perhaps bottor than at any
other ttmo in her history. Why should
not Simmons beat out the champion-
ship of tho Stato on her now' court
It is for tho Btudont body of tho Col-
lego to -get behind tho team and lit-
orally boost tho team to victory over
all.
