THE 1931 SPHINX Girls' Athletics Soccer The second year of soccer, while perhaps not quite so successful as the first, was, nevertheless, of much interest to those participating. As nearly all of the girls had played the preceding year, the biggest task on the part of both coaches and players was to develop team technique. Competition was keen and strong until winter weather caused the field to be sometimes soft and muddy to such a degree that games had to be postponed. This had a tendency to lessen the spirit for the games, and as a conse- quence, some of the games have not yet been played. However, spring will find us back in form, eager to win the victories for our teams. The Seniors are in charge of Miss Dickerson, the Juniors, Miss Demeter, and the Sophomores and Freshmen, Miss Bremner. A At the present time indications point to a repetition of last year's keen rivalry when the championship was won by a 1-0 score. May the best team win! Basketball Last year there was a bit of discontent because of the abolishing of the girls' varsity basketball. As the season progressed, however, the girls discovered that the inter-class games were just as exciting as the varsity games, and that more girls were enjoying them than would have under the old system. This season found the girls on tip toe ready to go. As the games have all been played indoors, the weather man could not halt the activities of any day, and so games were played as scheduled. After a few practices, at the beginning of the season, the regular teams were selected. Mrs. Rathbone and Miss Gleim had charge of the Juniors and Seniors, Miss Demeter, the Sophomores, Miss Bremner, the Freshman and the Eighth Gradeg and Miss Platt, the Seventh Grade. . I The games have been going along well, and thus far, the Juniors and Seniors are holding tie place for championship. May the Seniors follow in the footsteps of last year's seniors and win the championship! . just as an afterthought, wouldn't it be tragic if the Sophomores should prove to be dark horses and snatch the honors from us? 92 '
