Seniors Interc. ass
Basket CHAMPS

The Senior girls won the intercalss
championship game Of basketball
from the Freshmen Tuesday after
noon in the High school gymnasium
by a score OF 152. The Seniors play
ed very well. their passing being ex-
ceptional and although Johnson shot
all but two baskets for the Seniors,
this was made possible by the excel
lent head work of Mcdonald and
Malaney, the plucky guards. who
kept the ball in the Senior territory
constantly. and also the splendid
work of Delaware and Mcnamara as
centers.
The upper classmen expected
harder game, as the Freshmen had
two good men in Marson, who plays
forward on the regular team, and
Darling, substitute guard. but the
rest of the team. not having played
together regularly. was unable to
cope with the Senior team work.
