Ilj wmg Q ' X III THE RAMBLER, 1926 III 4 r Le a-r i E I Q....Y iiiiitva? Mr f K A .dll i GIRLS' BASKET BALL After about two weeks coaching under Coach Overcash, the girls began to hit their old time form. This was shown in their third game of the season, which was with the strong team of Clarksville. The white and gold co-eds, by their team work, good shooting, and excellent guarding, were able to be victors by the score of 7.4 to zo. It was said by those who saw the game to have been one of the best, and fastest girls' game that they ever saw. The lasses added another to their victories by defeating the strong team from Central High of Nashville by the score of 2.5-zo. This was considered the best girls' basketball game ever witnessed in Springfield. The girls showed speed and good form, and the game was enjoyed by every one. Other victories of the co-eds were those captured from Franklin, Kentucky, Gallatin, Goodlettsville, and Clarksville. On February 7.5, the girls went to Peabody to take part in the Little Tennessee Tournament. Their game was the first played, and although they were defeated, it was a good game. A consolation tournament was held for the four teams eliminated in their first game. lt was in the first game of the consolation that the Springfieldians showed their real ability as basketball players, by defeating Goodlettsville 40-30. It was in this game that all the team played theirstellar game. Theforwards,LouiseDowlen and Mary Kirk, played very good, especially Louise who was able to register 18 points to her credit. She always played well, and being a good goal shot was able in every game to cage several baskets. The center, Mayre Brandon, played an excellent game at her position, working the floor in fine style, and caging zo points. Mayre's playing at the tournament was liked so well by the coaches of the different schools that she was named among the three centers from which one would have been choosen, had an all-tournament team been selected. The guards, Emma Dee Dillon and Mary Sue Glover, played in their regular form. Emma Dee was spoken of by newspaper reporters as a stone wall on the defense. She was equally as good on offense, always in the play and most always came out with the ball. This year was Mary Sue's first year of basketball, but she played well, and is banked on as being a star next year. By defeating Clarksville in a third game of the tournament, the white and gold five were winners of the consolation throphy. Dillon, Brandon, and Dowlen graduate this year, and are expected to make the college team wherever they go. Page seventy-four
