.li f..-I I im1-..irwi. t1g-- 1 :vii -uni GIRLS BASKET BALL With the opening of the new gym, the girls started practicing for basket ball in preparation for developing a team-the first girls Basket Ball team Akron has had for two years. Miss Pearl McKellar, acting as coach showed that she was there with the goods from the start, and about thirty girls came out to practice. The Hrst weeks were spent in drill and exercises to put the girls in good physical condition. Next the fundamentals of the game as well as characteristic positions and shots were learned before there was any attempt made at scrimmage. JA good spirit was manifested by all the girls though the sched- ule proved to be a disappointment, due to very few games. At, an early date the girls organized and elected Dorothy Johnson, captain, Gladys Harris, treasurer: and Lovina Allison, secretary. The first game took place at Vermilion, where the girls put up a good fight, though all but two were playing their first game. Akron scored first but Vermilion gained in the last half. The next game was at Akron with the Alcester sextet. The opposing teams showed real teamwork but found they were equally matched by the Akron girls. Through the generalship of their jump- ing center, their victory was made possible. Our girls met the Liberty team at Liberty in the third game and managed to get away with the bacon, by a good margin. Liberty returned the game which was the last of the season. The girls put .up a much stronger game than ever before but Dorothy Johnson was our star forward, hit her true stride and the game ended 52 to 2 in o-ur favor. The final winding came for the girls at an invitation tourna- ment held at Hinton, Iowa, on March 10. Akron drew Hinton. The game started out with a bang and ended with a tied score of 7 to 7. .Trust as the final gun shot, one of the girls fowled and Hinton made a free cast, thus gaining a victory by a score of 10 to 9. There is good material for a team next year and, with this years experience and coaching, a real winning team ought to be de- veloped. , 'kf-11f,3c::.:nc:irff3ii A Ti1F3E7 1E'1iLlj i
