STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, April
3.-The basketball team has finished It's
practice and is ready for the call to ''play."
Captain McCray says that her girls are in
their plays this afternoon with which they
plan to disconcert their Berkeley sisters.
1--WE don't feel overconfident," said Miss
McCray, "but in some ways believe we
have the advantage. Most of my team is
composed OF light active girls, who play
fast game without tiring, and l under
stand that some Of the Berkeley players
are quite large. There is of course some
advantage in having large players or tall
ones. Especially is this true of those who
try to throw the ball into the basket, but
the main thing is activity and endurance"
The basketball PLAYERS can't see how
any one could become angry IN the game,
as was reported OF the recent game in Bos-
ton. Said one of the girls: There has
never been the slightest feeling or show of
passion in any game we have ever played
on either side, and there is no occasion for
1T. In that respect it gives rise to less irri-
tation than even the mild game of tennis" :"
DR.. Ward, who has supervised the work
of the basket-balIers, is hearty advocate
of the game. He says that outdoor exer-
else is just as necessary to the health of
women as it is of men, and that the game
of basketball, which is exhilarating as
we'll as fascinating, serves the same pur-
pose for young women as football, hand
ball, ETC., do for young men. Miss Mosher,
the gymnasium instructor of the women
of the university, is of like opinion and
heartily believes in an intercollegiate con-
test of this kind on the ground that it
tends to keepup an interest In the eXer-
else among the young women.
mThe general opinion is that as long as
it is conducted according to prescribed
rules before an audience entirely of ladies
the game should be popular and sue
cessful.
The Stanford girls in addition to their
regular practice game for the past few
days have religiously observed training
as to diet, and in every way have fol-
lowed the course of training-though to
a much less rigid degreem-mapped out by
their brother athletes. The athletic COM
mittee some time ago refused to grant the
members of the team the right to wear
Varsity sweaters on the ground that the
team was not truly university athletic
organization. Most of the members do
not greatly care, but nevertheless feel that
their rights were treated with scant JUS
tice.
Several alleged make-ups OF the team
have been printed, but until this afternoon
Captain McCray had not picked her play
ers. They will be as follows:
Guards-Right, Agnes Morley, '97; center,
Jessie Ryan, '97; left, Lena Ducker, '97.
Centers-Right, Anita Coebert. 90; center,
Stella MeCray, captain, '9s; left, Frances
Tucker, 9S.
Home-Right, Matte Clark, '99; center,
Esther Keifer, 99; left Mayme Merritt, '99.
