BASKETBALL T’S AWARDED
The Honor Is Conferred on Seven Men.
Athletic Editor Makes Comment.
At a meeting of the Athletic Council
last week T’s were awarded to the fol
lowing members of the basketball
team: Nick Braumiller (captain),
Gilfillan, Everett, Hansen, Burkett,
Barnes, and Charlie Davis (manager).
Every one of these men worked hard
all the season and played good basket-
Iball, and they certainly earned coveted
T’s which were awarded them.
Nick Braumiller, undoubtedly the
best man on the team, played in every
game and played hard. He kept the
men’s spirits up and put that old pep
and confidence into them, often mak
ing a victory out of an apparent de
feat. This is the third T Nick has won
in basketball. Nick was given a place
on the first all-State team by every
judge, with one exception, and that
judge placed him on the second team.
Gilfillan, that Irishman from Ver
mont, has more different ways of
shooting a goal than any other forward
ever seen here. Gilfillan only mist one
game, due to a broken finger, but this
broken finger did not keep him out of
the Rice same, altho it was in bad
shape and had not started to heal up.
Gilfillan was mentioned by most of
the judges as first choice for all-State
forward. This is the second T for Gil
fillan in basketball.
“Pete” Everett, our all-State guard,
is an example of what a man can do
when ne wants to. Pete’s first at
tempt at basketball was in the com
pany league last year. He made the
all-company team, and this year he
went out for the “Varsity” team. He
made it with Dying colors. Not a for
ward in the State was too fast tor him,
not even when he had a sprained ankle.
“Runt” Hansen is an example of the
triumph of brain over brawn. Not
withstanding his diminutive size, Runt
aHvays managed to fool his guard and
shoot the goal. He kept a cool head,
and when he got a shot his aim was
unerring. Runt is a great beliver in
trying again. He almost made his let
ter last year, and he tried again this
year and came back strong. It is said
that Runt even has T’s stamped on his
sox.
Barnes is another example of per
severance. Barnes tried out last year,
but did not make the team. This year
he worked harder than ever, and al
tho he never got to play in the first
few games, when he did get in he ably
demonstrated his right to a T.
“Kike” Burkett, the Galveston won
der, had a hard job getting into the
games at first, but once he was put in
there wasn’t a doubt in anybody’s mind
as , to his pep and ability.. “Kike”
played a whirlwind game, both at guard
and at forward and earned his T be
yond a doubt.
Last, but not least, comes our all-
State manager, Charlie Davis. Charlie
Davis showed himself to be an able
financier, for he started with nothing
and ended with a well cared for cham
pionship basketball team and enough
money to give them T mackinaws.
This is the first time the basketball
team has ever been given sweaters or
mackinaws. On the trips the team al
ways stopt at the best hotels and ate
the best food money could buy. And
Charlie financed it all, notwithstanding
the high cost of living and the war in
Europe.
NICK BRAUMILLER RE-ELECTED
BASKETBALL CAPTAIN.
The basketball letter men had a
meeting last Sunday and unanimously
re-elected Nick Braumiller to lead them
to the State championship next year.
Nick is undoubtedly the best man for
the place. Nick has every character
istic that goes to make up not only
a good basketball player, but also a
leader of men. Nick has a large
quantity of that undefinable thing call
ed pep, and he not only has it himself,
but he instills it into every man on
the team. He is a natural-born bas
ketball player. He has speed, strength
and endurance, and he has had three
years experience on a college team.
Under his leadership and with the
help of the old men who will be back
A. and M. should win the State cham
pionship.
