That is the question that everybody is asking this week after the team had lost its tenth straight game last Saturday night. Is the team really that bad? We don't think so. The Mules had one of the worst road trips in the history of Colby basket- ball over the vacation. They won no games and lost eight. At the begin- ning of the season, Colby was rated as a fair club and was predicted to enc up with over a five hundred average. To get an average such as this th< Mules will have to win nine of their last twelve games. In view of the schedule, this is almost impossible. There must be some reason for the poor showing that the team has made so far. We think that the main cause is the schedule. Colby, which does not subsidize its athletes, and usually flunks out the best ones, arranges games with schools which are two and three times larger in enrollment than Colby. These other schools not only have twice the men to choose from for their varsity clubs, but many of v-hem help their athletes in some finan- cial way, thus attracting better athletes. Not only has the administration, and we mean the athletic department, scheduled games with teams which outrank Colby in size and strength but worse, they scheduled games on some of the poorest basketball night of the year. We were talking to a member of last year's varsity squat? over the vacation, and when we asked him why he was not out for the team this year, his comment was: "Would you like to play basketball New Year's Evei?" We fully agree with him, and when we came back t school, we asked some of the players about the poor road trip, and severa" commented that they just couldn't seem to get into the mood to play bas- ketball two days after Christmas or on New Year's Eve. We think the boys can hardly be blamed for this. We think that the athletic depart- ment could show a little more foresight in the future. Dartmouth registers its second goal in 3-1 victory over Mules at South End Arena yesterday. The We haven't been able to find out exactly what the story on the hockey fighting Blue and Grey boys acquited themselves ably. Colby fans -were amazed at the fight which the at Colby is this year, but we have heard rumors that Colby is going to give home team put up against a well-conditioned opponent. (ECHOphoto from Waterville Sentinel) up hockey after this year, So far, for some reason, the powers that be have not made this fact public information so, as we said, we have not beer able to get the full story. However, such reasons as no money for trips, Did You Know That . . . The early pioneers for the develop- "college" in the Senate and House no place to practice, etc, seem to be the main issue. The first apparatus for athletic ment of Colby College repeatedly led to its defeat.

This year the rink was abandoned entirely in favor of the Watervillc South End Rink. More good money had gone down the drain. Again wc-. blame the powers that be for their lack of foresight. The coaches wan hockey, the players want hockey, and the students want hockey. Wh; aren't the issues involved brought out into the open? Is the school tryin; to do away with athletics behind our backs? Will football be next to go We wonder. ECHO SAYS In closing we'd just like* to mention the fact that we like the spiri shown by the fraternities in the inter-mural sports this fall and winter We've seen some very good basketball games between fraternities in tin fiel d house these last few weeks and we think that is a sign that fraterni ties are on their way up again after their lapse of tho war years.
