saw our girls basketball team in
action against Israers team. Israel
has not been defeated in three years
and they received the surprise of their
young lives when Monroe held them
B to 4 at the end of the first half
Experience and training, however,
made the Israelites stronger for the
second half and our girls went to de-
| feat Is to 5. We were the first team
| to give Israel a good fight. The
coach and faculty feel very proud of
/ the Monroe girls and their future bas-
| ketball chance. In the second contest
/ Monroe's boys so outclassed Israel's
team that every regular was removed
| and the second team was put in
charge as wrecking crew Coach
| Grasshoff's hopefuls hit the Israel
team so hard that they went home
dizzy. After the first few minutes of
play the only question was "how big
Is the score going to be?" Once more
did Shewmon, Furry, House, Emrick
and Parks demonstrate that our team
will be and already is a real team.
! The final score was 81 to s in favor
of Monroe. We are sorry that the
schedule is no longer. for all lovers of
real basketball can be assured of
splendid entertainment this winter and
looming spring.
