girls and the local high school girls was
q remarkable one because of the won.
derful reversal of form shown by the
Hot Springs girls in the second half.
when by the fastest team worS ever seen
on this floor the home girls made bas-
kets with painful regularity.
Officials Mathewson and Kicker call
ed the captains of the teams to the
center Of the floor at 1850 for instruc-
tions on "out Of bounds, fouls, etc.
The flip of the coin gave Hot Springs
the choice and acting captain Ruth
Phillips choose to shoot for the west
goal. The game started with furious
mixnp, but entirely lacking of any of
the team WORK so essential in winning
games. Marie Ferguson shot the first
basket with a long throw from the
south side, making the score Hot
Springs 9 Rapid City 0. This small
lead was soon overcome when Gertrude
Anderson shot basket for Rapid City
making the score tie 9 and 9. Each
team annexed one more field basket
during the half but Hot Springs got ore
fee throw and the half ended with tie
ssore . to in favor of Hot Springs.
From the general play Of this period
Rapid City showed better team work
than Hot Springs but were very insc-
ourate in shooting basket. The Hot
Springs girls played remarkable
game in some ways-the remarkable
things being the lack of apparently
understanding the fundamental princi-
Piles of the game in which every mem
Der of the team undertook to run the
ball down no matter where it went. On
the whole Rapid City outplayed them
the first half and were entitled to the
large end OF the score, the only thing
preventing it being their inability to
hit the basket.
A sharp talk between halves by Prof
Lewis, who has coached the team for
three years, put some ginger into the
home girls and when the whistle sound
ei for the opening of the second half
things began to happen. Mary Cleve r
shot the first basket and Immediately
repeated. Kathryn Juckett followed

ing the total up to 16 for the half
while Rapid Citys best effort was one
basket from the field. The final score
for the game was Rapid City 6 Hot
Springs 81.
II experience counts for anything
Hot Springs was entitled to win from
the fact that the Rapid City team is
composed of new members nearly all
OF whom are playing for the first time,
while the Hot Springs team is com.
posed of older players and the present
team is made up of the same material
that composed the team last year. 1t
was thought that the team would bs
somewhat weakened through the ab-
senoe of Captain Ruth Eastman who
has been out of school for the past two
weeks and will be out of the game for
some time to come, but the consistent
practice of Mary Clever, who made the
trips last year as substitute demon.
strated the fact that we have more than
a five man team.
| 1t seemed to be the talk among the
visitors that Kathryn Juokett and Ruth
Phillips we're the ones to whom special
attention should be given but after the
game started it was soon found that
there we're five on the team each one of
whom required special attention.
The work of Marie Mcgowan as guard
was especially commendable and while
q guard doesn't usually get into the
limelight the position is about as hard
to play we'll AS any on the team. The
brilliant work in this place made poss
ible many baskets for Hot Springs.
