Frosh Undefeated

Basketball was difficult at Acadia during the 1917-18 year; the gym had burned down in May 1914 and it was hard for either the men’s or women’s interclass teams to find practice space in other gyms. The war also affected the number of male students. There were only three teams in the men’s league during this academic year–the sophomores, the freshmen and the boys of the Academy. The freshmen won all their games and were named champions.
