This was the last season in which practice and home games were held off-campus. The new Wills Gymnasium was under construction and would open later in 1925. Until the new facility was ready, practices and games would be held at various locations as they had been since the founding of the basketball team in 1913, such as the atrium of the original Administration Building (known as Cartwright Hall since 2006), in the basement of the original heating plant, in the local Congregational Church gymnasium, and at Kent Roosevelt High School. http://einside.kent.edu/?type=art&id=267 Extensive Improvements Made to University Auditorium January 24, 2015 Sopko, Jen 2002 eInside Kent State UniversityNormal College Basket Ball November 1915 Kent CourierChestnut Burr 1923 https://archive.org/details/chestnutburr1921kent/page/96 Kent State University Special Collections and Archives 96 January 24, 2015
