suited in victory for the latter on foul
by score of 3 to 2.

lessor Magee, who acted as timekeeper-
showed much excitement

the captain of the Berkeley team, re-
ceived severe blow on the nose. Blood
flowed freely, and it was thought Tor q
time that the young lady's nose was
broken. She retired from the game for
medical attention, and an examination of
her injury was made by Professor Magee,
who found that a bad bruise was all the
damage that had been done.
Play was resumed, the young ladies
contending for the glory of their respect
i've school with great vigor. Miss Robin
son of the university basketball team
acted as referee
A large delegation from San Francisco
came. to witness the contest, and all the
girls of Miss Head school were present.

audience, and outside the building a crowd
OF men enjoyed themselves listening to
the feminine cheers yells and Kisses.
