JUNIORS DEFEAT THE FRESHMEN
Fight Now Lies Between Grads and
Third Year Team and Finals
VIII Be Staged Tomorrow.


The local high school girls basket
ball tournament, after a week OF eager
waiting. commenced once more yester-
day afternoon with another victory,
by the score of 80 to 5, for the SEN
Tor team. and one by the score of Is
to 8 for the juniors, the former team
competing with the sophomores and
the latter with the freshmen. The
games were exceptionally rough ones,
for class spirit was high and all the
teams fought hard. The juniOrfresh-
men clash, which took place first, was
somewhat of walkaway during the
first half, the score at the end of that
time being II to 0, but in the latter
half the freshmen took decided brace
and held the upper classmen to a score
of to 3. The contest between the SEN
Tors and sophomores was a fast one,
despite the large score which the SEN
Tors were able to roll up, as the fresh
men guards played a ''never-s ay-die"
battle against the senior crack for
wards and the fight between the op-
posing centers was also quite a fea
ture. The senior guards were able to
keep the ball out of sophomore terri
tory most of the time, so that the
sphere was, as rule, either in the
center of the floor or in senior terri
tory.
For the Junior freshmen clash.
Myrtle Jens and Beth Emery of the
junior squad and Evelyn Hudson for
the freshmen played the best games
The first named who held down for
ward position. was the best basket
shooter of either team, rolling them
in continuously despite the desperate
guarding of the freshmen Beth
Emery, the junior forward, also fought
hard and her playing added a great
deal to the work of the Junior team.
Evelyn Hudson. the plucky freshman
forward, played a hard game and made
all the points for the freshmen team
by her accurate free throws.
Miss GIasco Stars again.
For the seniors, the individual star
was, as usual. Alberta Glasco, the
neyer-miss forward. Her basket shoot
ing was the feature of the game and
not even the plucky guarding of Mar
guerite Morrison, the sophomores'
pluckiest guard, proved sufficient to
prevent her from making the big end
of the senior score. lib" Babcock
at center and Fritz" Rhoads at guard
also played fighting games, while
Jeanette Riddell, the star guard who
has lately been on the canvalescent
list, played her usual game during
the short time in which she played.
The final games, the senior-junio
and sophomore-freshmen, will take
place Friday after school and will
doubtless draw the biggest crowds
hitherto in attendance The tie be-
tween the juniors and the sophomores
will also be played out in the near fu.
