Basketball GATN the seniors copped a championship, this time in basketball, and a good deal of the credit should be given to these girls and their coach, Miss Lillian Brown. Wilining every practice game, the girls were ready to face any team and beat it. The players were: Captain Helen Hayes, Helen Goold, Margaret Seaver, Evelyn Castro, Marion Donaldson, Bessie Campbell, Marjorie Maring, and Marie Dietz. Team work had a lot to do with the winning of the game for the seniors, and they had lots of it. The team, under the supervision of Miss Brown, has practiced faithfully throughout the pre-season training, and all members of the team have rightfully earned their places. At the beginning of the season they were handicapped by the lack of experi- enced players, but in spite of difficulties, they came out victorious. Although the game with the freshmen ended the same as the one with the sophomores, it was not the same type of struggle. The difference was that the seniors played rings around the sophomores, as many spectators expressed it, while in the other game the teams were more evenly matched. .Yhzety i'
