Both games were decisive Ia their
results, as to the weight and playing
qualities Of the opposing teams. The

personnel of last year and the skill of
long practice, seemed to have no
trouble IN defending their title to the
championship. The excellent throw

sixteen points, was greatly appreciat-
ed. The Post Falls girls played we'll,
but the superior weight of their
opponents was against them, keeping
them from getting possession of the
ball for any length of time or making
any throws from the field. Miss
Jessie McNear, whose excellent play

of the Coeur d'Alene team two weeks
before, was the only one who made
any scores for the visitors. although
