feating the strong Junior team, IL to
8. The Sophomore girls took second
place in the race, subduing the
Fresh" II to 0.
Miss Berger was ably supported by
team which constantly fed the ball
to her skilled hands for baskets
which spelled defeat for the Juniors.
Her entire team worked hard through
out and the victory was well-deserv-
ed.
The Senior guards, Miss Charlton
/ and Miss H. Stinemet2, held down |
the Junior forwards, Miss Hinger and
| Miss l.. Stinemetz, to basket apiece.

factors in the defeat of the Freshman

which FIVE we're credited to Miss Ber'
ger. The Juniors landed three, max
ing their remaining three points on

the Juniors from the center of the
floor was prettily executed.
