BASKET BALL GIRLS of Addison High School take a good ,al interest in athletics, and have proved themselves worthy of praise in basketball. With the exception of bad weather, the girls, li i' with their coach, Miss Neva Saunders, could be found on the court, passing the ball, shooting bas- ! 'B 4' kets or performing some other form of practice. The girls played four games during the season, winning two. At all times they showed a good, clean, fighting spirit, and did their best to win, even under trying circumstances.

After a 'few lmww ieilfri weeks of strenuous pr-actice, under the instruction of Coach M. C. Hilton, the vacancies of the pre- ceeding year's team were filled and a team was chosen. The outlook for a successful season was very bright, -and the team, supported by a smiling and yelling ,student body, showed some of the finest spirit and sportsmanship throughout the season. The team of 1923 won every game that they participated in, in the n-orth division of the county. A Blissfield was the champion of the south division of the county and our team met them, Field Day, at Hudson on May 26th, 1923. The game was one of great excitment, for the two teams fought with a great determination to win. V The batteries for the game were Zinzer and Frye of Blissfield and Bauman and Miller of Addison. At the end of the first inning Blissfield led by a score of 5 to l. They continued adding to their score up until the fifth inning. At that time the score was 9 to 43 Addison having made three runs in the third inning, due to a two-bagger by Shoemaker. Bauman add-ed another point to Addison's score in the seventh inn- ing by knocking 'the old pill for a home run. - Addison held Blissfield to their total score of nine up until the ninth inning. During the ninth inning Addison made -no further addition to their score, but Blissfield put their final up to thirteen. Wlhen the game was finished, the score was called, Blissfield 133 Addison 6. Each and every player of both teams gave three, good, hearty yells for their opponents, which is a sure sign of fair winners and good losers.
