As a forward on the team of the season just completed, at the end of which the Aggies were far down in the column of standings, Mark nevertheless turned in a creditable record To be sure it was creditable since he went the entire route with a broken fore-finger and a gash over his eye which had a tendency to never heal. The newly elected captain has a goodly number of fine running mates for next year’s team and with his own example of hard fighting, should lead a winning aggregation. AGGIE BASKETBALL SQUAD 1925.
