GIRLS BASKET BALL.
The girls exhibition game at the

evening was well attended and proved
a most interesting contest. The officials
were: Referee, A R. Schultz; umpires,
F. G. Preston, and l.. j. Lloyd; time
keepers, &. D. Jones and Fred Heine
mann. There were three games, each
consisting of two ten minute halves
with five minute intermisslons. Glass
colors were in evidence, the freshmen
wearing pink and grey, sophomores,
yellow and white, seniors orange and
black, general team representing jun
iors) high school colors, cardinal and
white, while the referee and umpires,
with charming disinterestedness dis
played fluAering confusion of pink,
grey, yellow, white, red, orange, and
black
The opening game was between the
freshmen and sophomores, with the
latter's choice of baskets. The first
half closed in a tie, two to two; the
second gave the sophs the victory, five
to two. The freshmen played a fine
game, though the score does not show
it.
The second contest was between the
juniors and seniors, while 1901 won the
toss for baskets. At the end of the first
half, the score stood two to two; at the
end of the second half the seniors had
gained the supremacy, five to ten. In
the team representing the juniors, there
was more individual work than in the
others, owing to the fact that the play
ers, from several classes, had practiced
together for very short time
In the concluding game, between the
two victorious teams, 1908 again won
the toss for baskets. The first half
closed with tie of four to four; the
second half gave the laurels to the
sOphomores, score, seven to four. The
oCHlOlS ulOl mt team WOIh, anu luC
forwards, Ella Norman and Dorothy
Heinemann were particularly good.
The sophomore team did its best work
dTing the second half. Clara Becker's
GOODNESS and precision in throwing
baskets was remarkable.
