second team was defeated by a
score of 1922. The first team fol-
owed their example, losing by a
score of 1924. The fact that Lock-
wood and Kallock were not in the
lineup for the game gave us a much
poorer chance Of winning. The

will be played this Friday night,
March 9. The place will be announ-
ed later. The girls have closed
