ATHLETICS
BY Cortez Clark

A very interesting basket ball
game was played Saturday by the
two girls literary societies., namely,
Palladian and Bellies Lettres. The
latter came out victorious to the
tune of II to 10. The game was
characterized by the spirit made
manifest, and at times was inclined
to be little rough. Very unfortu-
nately there was some casualty as
result, Miss Kittrell of the Palla-
dian team suffering a fractured rib.
while Miss Terrell of the same team
suffered n bruised Jarm. The only
feature of the contest was the "vic-
tory regardless" spirit shown by
both teams.
The next game will be between T.
P. I. and Castle Heights on Saturday
February II. This Is expected to be
very interesting game and a large
crowd is desired.
