Then, with the good-byes, with the

a noticeable depression in the mems

they were defeated by a score of

that they lost, 22-12.

were more so before the battle was
over. The Washingtons lost their
pivot player two weeks before tho

Then before the game was over the
WAC girls lost both their best guard
and forward on personal fouls.
Now, IL in the face of all that the
washingtons held their 1925 score
and cut 10 points off that of their
opponents, it may be reasoned that
in 1927 they can lose three OF their
best players before the game is
over and still win by points. max.

points being added by Helen
Schultz improved free goal shooting
which will enable her to better make
those golden chances count.
