Mount Hope and were never headed
from then to the last whistle. Eccles
never was more than four points to
the good but Miss Prices seven field
goals and two fouls did the trick. She
was ably supported by her teammate,
Miss Bayes. whose clever password
kept the ball in Mount Hope territory
the greSer part OF the game.
For Mount Hope, Miss Duncan was
the chief hope scoring all OF their
thirteen points and at more than one
stage OF the game almost forced the
Eccles rooters (girls OF course) to
tears, The fast guarding of Misses
Grouse and Williams put the X. o.
on any Mount Hope aspirations. Miss

forwards with the skill Of an old regu.
