are all on the qui yive, as are
the other women athletes OF the
university. for the contest on Saturday
will be tne first contest they have entered
for honors. "We have the reputation and
the athletic prestige of the university to
uphold" said one of the fairest mem bers
of the team to-day, land We are going into
the struggle with the purpose of coming
out victors. We realize the odds we will
have to contend against in not being in as
good training as we might, and then the
Stanford girls are much more eXperlen need
than we. At any rate we will do our best,
since We have accepted Stanford's chal-
lenge.'
Two or three of the young women have
the appearance of being overturned,
judging from their pallid faces and worn
expression. This may be due, however, to
anxiety over the result of the game. Their
new costumes consist of white sweaters
and blue boomers with gold trimmings.
