Though it is not meant for an aliH! yet all recognized the fact the SeT- ard girls basketball team, which lost to the clever College girls last night by the score of 19 to 8, were not up on their toes as in the game played Saturday night. The "pep" was en- tirely lacking and the College won hands down with ease. But the Col ege girls were playing in superior style to their former game and so t is doubtful if the locals could have beat them at that. Nevertheless, the game was full of excitement for the fars who rooted lustily for sides.
 Katherine Horton, made her first appearance in the local lineup and looks like a winner. She behaved we'll under big fire and broke up many plays. Bert got an awful bump when she collided with Parker, bril- liant College player, hitting the floor on the back of her head with a tre- merdous wallop
