Amarillo Girls Are Winners.
In what was undoubtedly the most
spirited indoor athletic contest ever
seen in the Panhandle, the five
speedy little girls In scarlet and gold
representing Amarillo High School,
out-played the five In red from Ca
madam academy yesterday afternoon
at the Deandi and won the game by
a score OF IA to s. The Canadian
girls we're handicapped by strange
surroundings and TO certain ex-
tent new conditions OF play, Being
less sure OF themselves they failed
to warm up before the game and
accordingly did not get into the pl'
at their best till later in the game,
But at any rate, the Amarillo girls
showed a team work and endurance
that gave them the lead over their
opponents and the score was simply
matter OF time.
In the first half Canadians guards
stuck together too close to cover
their opponents and May Smith and
Ruth Nelson for the home team,
criss-crossed the ball between them
in way that gave enough free
throws at the basket to score 10
before the whistle blew. May Smith
had IN almost unerring eye for the
basket but Ruth Nelson, who played
further away, made some spectacular
scores and missed others by the bar
est chance. In the second half the
Canadians stuck to their opponents
and shut out many OF the throws.
Elsie Thurman, center for Cana
dian, in the first half was slow in
getting the gait of the opposing CEN
ter. Jennie Lee Hedrick, captain for
Amarillo. Girls rules" kept the
Amarillo captain from getting in the
field goal column but II did not keep
her from being all over her patch
Of field and keeping the ball down
the greater part OF the time. Mabel
Addison, who took center for Cana
dian In the second half. lacked the
strength OF her opponent but she
near the black and gold basket for
was quick and followed the ball all
the time.
Mary Smiser and Iva Byrum for
Amarillo, kept the bali delivery et-
tectually guarded at the Canadian
basket but three times the Canadian
forwards found chances which they
turned into field goals. Iva Byrums
passing the ball from end to end Of
the field was a spectacular feat Of
the game. 'e9 3
