of 40 to 6. They clearly outclassed
their opponents at every point and at
no time during the contest did they
extend themselves. Miss Rummans,
the fast guard on the local team was
the stellar performer of the evening
and during the contest threw twelve
field goals. The visitors were APPARENT

and at no time during the two periods
were the local girls in danger of de-
feat. During the second half Miss

severe injury by a fall sand was COM
PEELED to retire from the game. 1t

was no greater than a severe bruise.
which, however, is sufficient to keep
her out of the game for some time.
