Girls Basket Ball Game
The feature OF the evening was
the basket ball game between the
girls teams OF the Normal university
and Castle school. The high school
girls won by the decisive score of
twenty TO four. although the game
was much more interesting than the
results would indicate.
Spectators were packed In the gal
leries like sardines and those who
were unable TO find standing room
there lined up around the walls on
the floor of the gymnasium. Purple
and white and crimson ribbons were
much In evidence and the friends OF
the members Of the two teams were
about evenly divided. The line.ups
we're as follows: Normal: Misses
Barker, {: Bernard. I: Akerman, c:
Browne. 6; Alberts. 6; and Mar
tin, sub. Castle High school: Misses
II. Schacfer. +; B. Hartman. T.;
Coors, C; J. Bell, g; L. Lorenzen,

During the entire game the audi
ence cheered and made so much noise
that the umpire and referees could
the end of the half the score
took the lead from the first and at
the end Of the first half the score
stood to 2 in their favor. In the
second half the High school made
eight and the Normal two more, MAX
in the final score twenty to four.
AS individual players the Normal
team was almost as good as the high
school, but the former were sadly lack
ing In team work. The high school
girls passed the bali rapidly up and
down the field and knew before hand
almost without looking where to find
each other They caught well and
kept the ball at their end Of the floor
the most of the time. and were excep
tionally accurate in throwing for bas
kets. The forwards of the Normal
team did not stay near enough to theii
goal SO that when members Of theil
team got possession of the sphere
there was too much time lost before q
field throw could be attempted ant
when they threw the bali towards
their basket 1t generally went ou
OF bounds and was given, according
to rules. to their opponents.
Miss Barker. the young lady wht
made the free throws for the Norma
team. was unusually good and mad,
