Farington, C. Jacobs, F. Ad- dington, R. Addington and W. Far- re . 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.
