In the second place, when Wash
ipgton formed its own associa ton
this Fall, the members hoped to be
able to whip team into shape in
time to enter the intercity event.
Enthusiasm and interest were not
lacking, but opportunities to practice
were all too scarce, due TO the un-
usually damp season, with the result
that the officials in charge do not feel
justified in putting team In the
field.
They have stated. however, that
they hope to be ready for tntercity
competition next season and are
bending all their efforts toward every
possible opportunity for practice with
this goal in view for 1925.
A unique efficiency chart has been
introduced by Charlotte Galpin,
basket ball coach for Central High
Schools fair tossers. All members
of the four class squads are rated
for their efficiency in each depart
ment Of the game. For instance, to
be declared efficient in goal throwing
they must place eight consecutive
throws in the basket from various
angles. and ring three out of five
free shots; they must make a 80
foot throw and clear an average high
jump. In addition, they must be able
to referee a game and must show
thorough understanding of the rules
Miss Galpin also plans to rate them
on sportsmanship from her personal
observation.
Then, when the teams are picked
fer the interclass series, Miss Galpin
win compare her chart with the ac-
tual performance of the girls in
match play to see if the ones who
have qualified as the most efficient
in the various departments of the
game are actually the girls who make
the best all-around players.
Miss Galpin confidently expects
most of her letter" girls to be shown
up on the chart as paper stars"
her theory being that to be an eff
cient part of any athletic machine
a player must be skilled in all the de-
tails of It's operation.
