gage in a varied program OF
activities during the two terms
into which their school year
is divided.
Archery. basket ball and tennis oc-
cupied the attention of the fair ath-
letes before Christmas. Archery has
been one of the major sports at the
Cathedral School since 1910, some III
wears before any other school in the
District revived the pastime of ancient
DAYS. The tourney staged in the Fall
was won by member of Class A, the
freshman class Her performance was
considered unusual, as the task
of learning to handle the bow and ar
row with skill is most difficult and
usually requires long training.
Singles tennis honors We're decided
in the Fall and the doubles title Will
be determined in the Spring. Class Z,
the Junior class, claims the holder OF
the singles title. II s44s 40 r-lpt~.a4,.
Ninety-two girls reported out for
basket ball in the Fall one or the
largest groups in the history or the
school, according to Margaret Bogen-
REF, athletic director. Class groups
were organized and practice games
played for the purpose of determining
the relative strength of the players,
preparatory to picking the teams 10
I.enresent the classes in the Spring
series. Miss Bogenrief and Eleanor
Tones, who cooperate in coaching the
court squad, have made most OF the
selections for the class teams, put
will not announce any until practice
begins for the series in the Spring.
Two feature events on the Spring
sport program at the Wisconsin ave-
nue. school are the field day and ath-
letic day, both of which are held in
MAY. On field day the entire student
body participates in general review
Of the indoor gymnasium work, IN
Guiding picturesque folk dances, wand
drills and a competitive march.
Athletic day is the day of days for
the seminary girls. Each class Vies
with the other in the originality and
the field in the grand march which
precedes the track and field events
for interclass honors.
According to the present plan, field
day will be held this year on the
second Friday of May and athletic day
will follow on the third Saturday.
Hockey is a minor sport at the sem
mary, as It was added to the program
only last year. No organized games
have been attempted yet, but practice
is held throughout the season when
ever the IlelQ Is III COIIulklOIs MISS
Jones drills the hockey group.
First place i'm the District Girls
Basket Ball League will be hanging in
the balance tomorrow night when
Princess and Washington Athletic
Club tossers meet on the Columbia
Heights Community gym floor at vii
son Normal School at O'Clock. Meth
err team has lost a game this
season, so the one emerging tri
umphant from this initial meeting
will step into first place in the
league. Two other games between
these sextets will follow with close
scoring expected in each clash, as the
teams have been evenly matched ii
the past and have exhibited abou
equal strength in preliminary encoun
ters this season, according to available
dope.
There is little doubt but that the on
which gains the edge in their three
game series will be crowned Distric
League champions, as the other team
tn the loop appear to be no match TO
them. In fact, there probably will b.
no club that will challenge their RICH
