POSPICIL GIRLS ' BASEBALL The baseball season this year was even better than it was last year. Over forty girls appeared on the field the first day, which was really an exceptionally good turn-out. Perhaps one reason everyone was so much more enthusiastic about the national sport this year was because of the new small baseball. The new ten -inch balls seem to be easier for the girls to handle. Many girls showed their abilities on the field. Of course it took practice and lots of it, Loretta Connick, of the twelfth grade team, became the outstanding catcher, Phyllis MacFadden, of the J C, team was noted for her fast balls, and Georgia Cummings, also a J, C,, for the curves she could pitch. The season was climaxed by the spectacular victory of the Ventura team over the Pomona team at the playday. May 14, at Pasadena, The game had been evenly contested, and tied at 9-9, when the umpire called two strikes and three balls against the batter With two girls on bases, Ventura collected three hits to score four runs, ending the game 13-9!

q: WOM E N ' S SPORTS CARNE WILLETT COLLA FICKEN SEXTON CARROTHERS HAIG REAMS KEELER POSPICIL HOCKEY Hockey was one of the new sports introduced to Ventura this year. Needless to say it was very enthusiastically received. In all probability the new equipment was a factor in making this sport so popular. New shin guards with a special type of shin guard for the goal keepers and both light and medium hockey sticks immediately found favor. Some of the girls seemed to be- come attached to their own particular sticks, as was Peggy Homer and her favorite Oscar . The rules and technique of the game were practiced during the regular physical education classes and some exciting games were played in these class periods as a part of the course. There was a pretty good turn-out for after school teams, but because of the interference of operetta practice, the after school teams suf- fered considerably. Consequently, instead of having the usual three inter-class teams, only two teams were organized. These were known as the Dps and Downs. The Ups won two of the three games played, the scores being 2-1, 3-2, 1-0. The hockey season closed all too soon, but with the hope that next year more time can be devoted to this sport. ■ ■■ 7j;rz 2r 117
