The girls practiced faithfully and hard under the able supervision of Miss IG. Jones. The Senior A team, noted for its excellent sportsmanship, was picked for the varsity not because it had won the intramural tournament, but be- cause of its past records and actual ability. With M. McGuire again captain of the team, it marched through a successful season, meetin,2.' defeat but twice. E. Davis captained the second team which was made up of E. Leveroni, R. Smart, V. Tolman. t'.
