H Y A K 17 A 77 1 ETICS On Wednesday, March 15th, the Seminary girls played a practice game of basket ball with the Tacoma High School girls, defeating them by a score of 14 to 7. The game was a closer one than the score would indicate, the teams being really very well matched. The lineup was as follows : A. W. S. Bessie Eckert ) Marion Kellogg J Dorothy Atkinson Oorinne Dowd j Lena Jenott | Rowine Kellogg ) Forwards Centers Guards T. H. S. . Helen Hartman . . . Alita Stiber . . . Anna Daman . . Emma Zieger Marjorie Daman Marjorie Haines The rirst half began in our favor with one field basket by Bessie Eckert and one by Marion Kellogg. The ball was kept in our territory most of the half by the efforts of the centers and the fine work of the guards. Lena Jenott’s long throws were easily the most noteworthy plays of the whole game. The High School guards worked to such purpose as to prevent our forwards from making any more field goals in this half, but Bessie raised the score three points with her carefully aimed free throws and the High School made two points in the same manner. The first half closed with the score 7 to 2 in our favor. In the beginning of the second half the High School girls got the ball into their territory, where a field goal was made by Helen Hart- man, followed by three free throws by Aleta Stiber.

16 H Y A K often, after the first game, was a remark made on the sportsmanlike way in which the High School team took its defeat. Let us strive, whether victorious or defeated, to cheer the other team with equal enthusiasm after a hard fought contest. HELEN KEEN, ’12. The next number of the nyak, girls, will be the last one of this school year, so let everyone contribute something toward making it the best number that the school has ever sent out. Write a story, or a jingle, or, if you don’t think you can do that, remember that jokes are very use- ful. Watch the girls and put in their clever sayings or slips of the tongue which they have made. The Ilyak is managed by the two upper classes, but nevertheless it is your paper, Annie Wright, and it is for you to make it a success. BESSIE EDWARDS, ’ll. The spirit and resourcefulness with which the girls have taken hold of the Lenten work this year is a great credit to the school. It was the bishop’s suggestion this year that the girls deny themselves a little more than ordinarily and earn money for their Easter offering, that by this means the spirit of the season might be more truly preserved. His suggestion has been carried out to the letter. By means of Miss Frahm’s clever bulletin, many itseful professions have been announced. Help out the good work, girls! Patronize our advertisers. RUTH CARLSON, ’14. When Fritz comes forth with ball in hand, He draws a doughty nine; The girls, they pitch all kinds of curves, And even in-shoots fine. But shou ld the umpire call a foul, As to a base they wobble, They gather round him in a mob, And end up in a squabble.

IS H Y A K Our girls awoke to their danger and from then on the ball never left our side of the field. Marion made a field goal, Bessie followed it with two more and with one free throw finished our score of 14. The way in which the High School forwards threw their baskets, even on a strange field, made ns feel sure that if the ball had been more in their reach their score would have been much larger. The team work of both teams was excellent, showing the hard work that their coaches. Miss Miller and Miss Frahm, have done with them. The High School guards were especially strong. Thanks to the steady watchfulness of our centers, there was little opportunity to judge the work of their forwards. We were very fortunate in having Miss Scholls of the High School as referee and surely owe her a vote of thanks. S8 8 8 On Friday, March 24th, the Seminary girls played a return practice game of basket ball with the T. H. S. girls in the High School gym- nasium. The lineup was the same as in the game played in the Seminary gym- nasium. with the exception of two new players on the High School team, Marguerite Cathout at center and Lola Sriars at guard. The points of the game were as follows: The first field basket for the Seminary was thrown by Bessie Eckert, as well as one free goal. The score was raised to five by a field throw by Marion Kellogg. Helen Hartman of the High School team threw two field baskets and Alita Stiber two free baskets, making the score 5 to 6 in favor of the High School. In the second half the points for the Seminary were the same as in the first half, one field basket apiece for the forwards and one free throw by Bessie. The High School ran up a score of seven points, making the final score 13 to 10 in favor of the High School. The teams played a fast game. The work of both was admirable, but the High School showed the effects of longer team work. Owing to the difference in baskets, our girls experienced the same disadvan- tage that the High School did here. After the game the High School girls entertained our team in the teachers’ parlor, and the afternoon closed with both teams in the best of spirits.
