The Graduate Post game tomor-
row is expected to be closely con-
tested. as these two teams are well
matched and each is a strong con-
tender for laurels.
In the preliminary skirmishes, the
Grads overwhelmed the Second
Seniors. 3S to 10, and the Posts
eliminated the First Seniors. Third
Seniors earned their place in the
finals by disposing of the Fourth
Seniors.
Western High School girls rifle
squad will enter a team in the inter
high school rifle matches to be held
in May. despite the fact that the
fair sharpshooters have had only
about one-fourth of their normal
practice periods. owing to the fact
that the new range has not been
completed.
Had it not been for the kind Of
fees of NJ. w. Crockett. rife in
structor. and several members of
the boys squad. the girls still would
be without a range. These Good
samaritans" pitched in and erected
a temporary range and the girls
have now had four actual firing
drills.
Mrs. Werthner. Faculty adviser
and India Belle Obrea, captain. will
select the team to compete in the
interhigh event after the squad has
had little more opportunity to
practice.
Prizes will be offered by the West
ern Athletic Association for the class
making the highest record during the
year on the range as well as for the
individual scoring the highest prone
and standing scores and the highest
average.
While no outside matches have
been fired this year, due to the lack
of a range, a record is being kept of
each performance of the club mem
bers in practice and these marks, in
addition to the scoring made in the
inter-high school contest, will be the
basis upon which the prizes will be
awarded.
Two critical games in tho Western
High School basket ball series will be
played tomorrow. The Senior first
squad will meet the ranking Junior
team in the first games. Sophomore
and Freshmen first squads will clash
in the second game.
The Senior squad, which will get
into action tomorrow, has not yet been
forth every effort to gain much
coveted victory.
Belle Meyers. coach, will referee
the matches.
West Schools candidates for the
schlag ball team to be entered in the
Columbia Heights Division League will
go to Twin Oaks Fairgrounds twice a
week for practice periods. Tuesday
Of
set aside by Kathleen Fisher, director
of the ground, foR the West players.
Miss Fisher will coach them on these
dates.
While their practice will be held at
Twin Oaks, this team will play all of
its games on the Park View play
ground, as that is the place designated
for all matches in their section. This
practice field was chosen because 1t
is so much nearer the West School
than the Park View ground.
Both Curtis-Hyae and Toner schools,
of the respective Sectional title in the
Georgetown division schlag ball
series last season, will have strong
teams in the field this year from all
indications. Curtis-H Hyde won the di-
vision crown in the '25 series, defeat
ing Toner in neck-and-neck battle
at their final meeting. Should the
present champions win again this
year. they would gain permanent pos
session of the three-year challenge

partment. They have held the trophy
for the past two years.
