The Athletic Association has had an eventful and very successful year. The hockey season was started p two weeks sooner than ever before thanks to Miss , Ehlers's energy in literally waking our president to Ill p ', action. But once waked, a real field was secured at s ,fy Qyaoglfl fa' Fiftieth and Chester Avenue, and practices promptly :I w'i '9 f3f4 Nd 'A ix 'i J' begun. The result of these early practices showed in the team's work for out of the seven games played, H one was lost, one tied, and live won. After the game ,fr with Philadelphia II, the first game of the year which h , - A we won 8-4, Anna Brinton was elected captain. Binney as center half, played a splendid game all f season, and inspired her team to work for her. The i- mm- Philadelphia Cricket Club seemed doomed to be the c A - - qw' TTT:--7 scene of elections, for there, after the final game of the season which was with Philadelphia II, and which we won 3-I, we elected Helen Marshall next year's captain. Considering Helen's abilities as fullback, this looks well for next year's team. We succeeded this year in getting the Calvary Church gymnasium at Fifteenth and Locust, which was a great improvement on last year's. But even so, the basket-ball season did not start off in a very promising manner, and it was with secret astonishment that we defeated Wissahickon Heights in the first game of the season 56-I9. Eugenia Ketterlinus was elected captain, and with deep gloom she watched Marjorie Taylor, the star jumping center, unconcernedly leave for Europe. But the second game of the season was also a decided victory, for we defeated Miss Hill's 67-IO in our gym. Then Gordon beat us, once in our gym, once in their own. The game of the season from an exciting standpoint was the return game with Miss Hill's. They beat us by one point, thereby nearly break- ing our hearts as it is the first time Miss I-Iill's has ever beaten an A. I. S. team. As the game with Miss Wright's was not definitely scheduled we had the election for next year's captain after our return Stevens' game. Mildred Shep- pard was elected and if she turns out as good a captain as she is a player it is all the team can wish for. The basket-ball season has been very successful, the most successful year yet, for not only has the number of games played increased, but the percentage of games won is decidedly higher. Out of ten 'games we have won six and lost four. EUGENIA Krs'r'rmu.1Nus i 47
