THE gymnasium work of the girls during the latter part of the winter term was supplemented by a class basket ball series. This series was inaugurated by Mr. Chase in response to an urgent request from many girls that they be given some attention athletically. The enthusiasm manifested throughout the entire series was great. Every practice day girls flocked to the gymnasium to try for their teams. It was with considerable difficulty that some of the teams were selected; many of the girls displaying about equal abilities as players. About the first of March teams to represent each class were selected; each team choosing its own captain.
The series began by the Seniors playing the Sophomores and the Junior the Freshmen, and continued until each team had played one game with each of the other teams. A final game was played between the two teams having the highest average scores of games won. The Freshmen succeeded in winning all their games and the Seniors theirs, except that against the Freshmen. In the final game the Seniors defeated the Freshmen by a score of 11 to 7. The winning of the final game by the Seniors made the games won stand three for the Freshmen and three for the Seniors. Therefore a championship game was arranged and played May 4th, when the Seniors were again victorious, this time by the close score of 5 to 4.
The laying of the girls showed both skill in making baskets, accurate throwing, and fine team work. The rapid manner in which they learned the game and the improvement which they displayed as the series progressed argues well for a fast series of games next year.
