not behind any OF them. ;
The turnout this season consisted of
twenty.four girls, all of whom turned
out for basketball last year, and con-
sequently it is probable that the team
will be nearly the same this year as
last.
Miss Rose Cummings is captain or
the team this year and Miss Evelyn
Cunningham is the coach.
Only four good practices have been
had to date and so Miss Cunningham
does not feel safe in making any
phophecies in regard to the chances

and that the girls were taking more
interest in the game than formerly.
Last year was the first year that
ST Andrews ever played any games
outside the school. They did not win:
many but they did exceedingly well
considering that il was their first ex-
perience in outside playing.
The team last year visited Man
where they played series of basket
ball games with q Maui team. This
year, however, no games win be play
ed outside Honolulu. The schedule is
only an interscholastic one between.
st. Andrews, Punahou. and Mckinley.
