ANA RILLO GIRLS
WON, II TO q
(From Mondays Daily)

(From Mondays Dally'D
In rafting good game last night
at the Lyric theater, the Amarillo
High School girls won from the Ca
madam Academy girls basketball
team by a score Of IL to 4. Up to
the last few minutes OF play the score
stood 7 to I but May Smith. the
speedy forward for the black and
gold girls threw two baskets in quick
succession and added the extra four
points. The seats all around the
field were crowded with appreciative
spectators who entered thoroughly
INTO the spirit of the game.
Canadian played faster game all
over the field than ON the first visit
mere. The guards, Misses Todd and
Mcdonald, stuck to the Amarillo for
wards in a way that called for all the
endurance the black and gold girls
mad and prevented them taking the
number Of shots at the basket which
they got in the first games here. Miss
Addison, the little center for Cana
dlan, plays a spirited game all the
time, She is lighter than the OPP
posing center, Jennie Lee Hedrick,
put she keeps in the play in a way
that is good for her team. The ball
last night was in Canadian terri
tory much more than 1t was in the
other games but Amarillo's guards,
Ivy Byrum and Mary Smiser, were
TOO fast to allow many throws at the
basket and the Canadian girls made
put one field goal.
In spite OF faster play by the Ca
madam girls, the black and gold girls
showed a superiority as great as that
represented by the extra points. Ivy
Byrum did her usual phenomenal
stunts in passing the ball from end
to end OF the field and she and Mary
Smiser effectually guarded nearly
every throw Of their opponents. Jen-
ME Lee Hedrick's quickness in get
ting the ball in center field and judg-
ment in passing 1t to the forwards
kept the ball around the Amarillo
basket most OF the time. One of the
protest features of the game was
the clever team play between the two
forwards, Ruth Nelson and May
Smith. May Smith starred as usual
IN her accurate goal throwing. Ev.
cry point scored for Amarillo was
from her throws.
DR.. Reedy's work as referee should
be especially commended. Several
times during the game the too ex.
uberant spirits OF Amarillo rooters
got deserved and emphatic rebukes
from the referee. The members oil
the Canadian team are practically
alone here and as they are guests
OF the Amarillo team, boisterous and
