-,,- H. -slA +
dictate the game very much one
sided, it was far from being SO,
and the ball was under the Cody
basket much of the time. However,
the Cody girls were unable to find
the center of the hoop and in each
and every instance when the ball
was trailed to the Henderson bask-
ct. the right forward, a young lady
with an unerring eye, would mark
up two points for her team. This
young lady, is easily the best bas-
ket hooter of any team. boy or
girls, in the basin, and proves a bull
wark to the Henderson aggregation
The girls team is composed OF
Stella Wallace, Opal Rector, Mar
garet Dempster, Lorene Schultz,
Minnie Martin and Carla Wagar-

little better reception at the hands
