Our track team, although made up almost entirely of new men, have made a good showing, taking into consideration our chances, and the number of boys to pick from, in our school. Most of our games were played with local schools, although we made a good showing in the N. C. H. S. A. L. meet at Chico. Early in the year our officers were selected for track. Leo VVads- worth was elected Captain with David Addington Manager, and soon after our team was chosen. Our first meet, given mainly to try out the younger athletes, was held 11ere on our track on December 18, between the Sophomore and Fresh- men classes of Marysville and Sut- ter. Marysville met an overwhelm- ing defeat and a rivalry originated between tl1e schools, which was des- tined to lead to other hotly contest- ed games and things being said that might just as well have been kept dark. Cn February 22, our team journ- eyed to Marysville to compete with the track teams of Marysville, Grid- ley and Oroville. The track was so muddy that we were forced to play on the macadamized street. In the outcome Marysville received credit for the largest number of points, but even as it was, we rubbed them close. The other particulars need not be written here. The N. C. H. S. A. L. meet was held at Chico on April 2. Like last year we came out second, Chico High capturing twice as many points as we did. We were not dis- appointed, however, with this re- sult, for to carry second honors in a meet with other schools of four or five times the number of boys that we have is no disgrace. Here we added another record to our credit by taking the 220-dash at tl1e record breaking time of 22 1-5 seconds, smashing the original record by 4-5 of a second. The principal point winners were Straub, taking second in the 440 and prominent places 'in the sprints, Paxton, making good on the sprints and on the high jump, Morehead and Farington taking sec- ond and third respectively on the mile: Addington, fourth in the 880, Lemenager, second in the high jump, Weis, fourth in the high hurdles, Jacobs, tying for third in the pole vault, and Wadsworth tak- ing the 100 and 220 and second in the 50-yard dashes. WVe also took second in the relay. Not being satisfied with tl1e out- come of the meet of February 22, in Marysville, we immediately chal- lenged that team for another meet to come off the next week or two. Marysville had all her dates full up to May 7th, so we agreed on that date. Great preparations were made for this meet and when the day came the track was firm and smooth, making about the fastest track in this part of the State. As we expected the meet went in our favor with a score of 80 1-6 to 52 5-6. We weren't crowded in any of the events, consequently no very fast time was made. The athletes tak- ing first place were Morehead, in the mile and 880-yard runs, Straub, in 440-yard dash, D. Addington, in

A beautiful cup was presented to the win -nag team by the citizens of Sutter, which added to our collect- tion one ot' the prettiest cups in this part of the State. 0--ole--0 This year basket ball, although with comparatively no victories, was entirely successful from our point of' view, as when we organized, We did not think of making any show whatever in the league. By an election of officers early ini the season, Barbara Kirk was elected Captain, and Nydia Moore Hlanager lot' the ftezan, after which ic mem ers o ie eam were picked and placed. The following team was selected. Nydia Moore and Velma Robinson, Forwards, Vinnie Beecroft and Clara Newman.

Our first game was played with Colusa early in October. 1Ve were completely out classed in this, as it was the first game that most of the girls had ever played and conse- quently they did not play up to their l1S1l2I1qfQ1 l11 in practice.

The final score was10-7in favor of our school. It was uncertain who would win un- t1l the very last, as Gridley was ahead during the first part, and -Sutter won the applause of the spectators by throwing herself ahead at the last minute. Being encouraged by this victory they put all their energy in the prac- tice for the semi-final game, which was listed with Colusa on October 16. Cn this date they journeyed to Colusa in two automobiles with glad hearts and 'banners flying. The game was hotly contested from the start. At first Colusa became ex- cited and Sutter had it over them at every turn, but they eventually col- lected themselves and were rubbing us pretty close when there arose a dispute between one of the umpires and the referee, which resulted in the outcome of the game being pro- tested by us. The score was an- nounced 12-10 in favor of Colusa. The League set this protested game to be played on December 10 at Marysville. This resulted in our defeat with a score of 27-16. We attributed our loss to the lack of practice for after the game on Coto- ber 16 we trained none to speak of and consequently none of the girls played up to their best. Much is expected of the team next year, as we have some very good material. Most ol' the girls are small, but it has proven that small girls who know the game can play a faster game than heavier ones, as strength is not the only require- ment necessary to form a success- ful team.

VVeis was twirling fine ball and re- ceiving good support until the first half of the ninth when we had a baloon ascension and when the para- chute landed they had five runs. Al- though we got two men on bases in our half of the same inning we were unable to cross the pan. Thus the score remained intheir favor.
