The very thrilling game of basket-ball which took place in the Gym., 'on Monday, Feb. 25th, will cause that day to be eternally celebrated by the Pi Nu's as fthe day of their iirst victory of the year 1901--and a victory against very able opponents, and gainedin spite of the hard luck of having to place three subs. onthe regular team at the last moment.

Who would have thoughtthese shouting creaturesto be 'the same as those very timid, shrinking and bashful young ladies, who become almost paralyzed at the thought of exercising their voices from the platform in Chapel? Our two guards, Misses Howell and Stites, had hard work to prevent their tall opponents from making points, but they made up in activity what they lacked in size, again proving that it is gzmlzky and not gzzanfziy which counts in the long run.

SIGMA TAU FEW months ago a new basket-ball team was organized, having for its guiding star a certain junior with a few, a very few members. Now that new team has devel- oped into an organization composed of a score or so of athletic young women, each intent upon the same object, namely, to have her name go down on the annals of Sigma Tau as a crack player. The presiding genius then, Miss Ruth Morse, is still holding sway under the title of captain Perhaps it was our captain, and perhaps the girls them- selves, who have contributed to its success. At any rate, the Fates seem to have been propitious to us, for, from a little team, struggling against many disadvantages, it has become a big team with a record. A Uur time for practice was at first only Thursday after- noon, but later President Hunter kindly gave us the use of the gymnasium for Saturday mornings. -And many a battle royal has been waged on that field between two sets of 'red- suited girls. , Our room, -- but who can picture it who has not been in it! Rich in red hangings, the walls gaily bedecked with posters of every hue and description. Best of all is the de- lightfully comfortable cosy-corner, with cushions, all bearing the ensign of Sigma Tau, making it a veritable haven of rest to a weary player. All this has been done entirely by the girls, and many werenthe bruised thumbs and scratched hands resulting from fractious tack-hammers when the fixing-up-proo ess was going on. ., j Q There is not much more to tell about us. Qur contests have always been waged in a most friendly spirit, and that feeling of envy, which so often attacks just such an organiza- tion, has been, we are happy to say, entirely lacking. ,We seniors, who leave the team in june, will look back on those Thursdays and Saturdays spent in the gymnasiumunder the the guidance of the girl who was the friend of every member' of her team as the happiest of many happy days in our college life. , 89 , . 1
