La Grande high school. From there
they journeyed to Summerville where
they played Saturday night. Sunday

night the last game of the series was
contested with the Imbler team.
The local girls were victorious in
each game. At La Grande the score
was IA to 8; at Summerville, 20 u
8; while at Imbler it went to 2S to 12.

the most sanguine followers of the
Academy girls. But the team was in
excellent shape and with superb con-
fidence in their ability and the sys-
tenn of ball which they had, been
taught they went into every game
with vim and determination of the
sort which is always calculated to
win games. In each case the game
was won from the start. Snap and

she found it six times. Miss Young
was very unfortunate in missing
/ splendid throws and succeeded In
caging the ball only twice but she had
la strong and mature guard pitted
against her. Miss Anderson at center

Edith Raley is star Guard.
Miss Raley went throught the en-
! tire game without a basket being
thrown by her opponent Miss Van

pie where one loves to make good
showing, was at her best. She al
lowed her opponent one chance goal
while her long passing to her own
| forwards was superb. She also made
the remarkable record of out OF :
goals from the foul line. Miss Rogers
also figured in this game at the close
and did her usual steady work.

half was 12 TO 4. Summerville making
all her points from the foul line and
making but one field goal in the en-
tire game. Academy's defensive work
was brilliant at all times in both
games.
