The result of the girls interclass
basket ball tournament was a surprise
when the Sophomores came out in the
lead and the Seniors beat the Juniors
out of second place. The Freshmen
took fourth. 1t took four fast games
to decide the contest and one ofshese.
the Senior-Junior game, was as fast
and as even as any game that has been
seen at the high school for long time.
The first game of the tournament
was between the Seniors and Junior
teams and at the end of ten minutes
the length of the halves, the score was
tie, and 2. In this first half neither
side got field basket.
Between halves of this game the
Sophomores and Freshmen played the
first half of their game This was more
open than the first contest and num-
Der of field baskets were made by both
teams. The half ended with a score of
8 to in Sophomore's favor.
In the last half of the Senior-Junior
game both teams went in to win and
the result was very fast game. At
the end of the half the score was still
tie, the Seniors had made one field
basket and the Juniors two free throws.
The length of the half was extended
but in five minutes neither team was
able to get ahead. 1t was decided to
play the last half of the Sophomore
Freshmen game, after which Seniors
and Juniors would have another five
| minutes to play and if neither, team
was then ahead each side was to have
an equal number of free throws until
one team got ahead. At the end of the
five minutes the score was again a tie
8 and 8, and Valeria Ringle, Senior and
Ruth Kreutzer, were given turns at
shooting free throws. Valeria Ringle
succeeded in getting the first basket
and so won the game for the Seniors.
The last half of the Freshman Sopho-
more game was won by the Sophomores
making total score of - to in the
sophomore favor.
The game between the winners was
easy victory for the Sophomores in the
| first half as the Senior team was tired
out by their extra long game with the
Juniors. The score for the first half
was to 2. In the next half the Senior
team strengthened and made five
points to the Sophomores three, MAX
ing the final score III.
The Juniors easily won from the
Freshman by making a field basket and
two free throws while the beginning
class team made only field basket.

team; made eight baskets and one free
throw. This was the high individual
score of the evening. Valeria ,Ringle
made fourteen points for her team,
four of them on free throws.

all the scoring for the Juniors and
