BASKETBALL DIFFICULTIES.

The deplorably unsuccessful season that our basketball team has just gone through only serves to emphasize the inadequacy of the Hemenway Gymnasium for any kind of organized sport. Basketball deserves better support than it now receives, but until the candidates can be better accommodated the game is not very likely to flourish. When the building has been thoroughly renovated, conditions will be somewhat better; but we await in patient hope the time when some loyal graduate will present us with a new gymnasium, or at least put the present one into such shape that we shall not be obliged to receive visiting teams in a building of which we are thoroughly ashamed.
