rfCtoucL rfceftet GIRLS’ STATISTICS IDIVI DUAL SCORING Girls’ Basketball The collegiate’s girls’ basketball team suffered a severe setback this year as a result of losing veteran players such as Esther Toews, Muriel Funk, and Susie Teichroeb. Therefore, an almost completely new team had to be organized. The team consisted of four grade nine students and two students from each of grades ten, eleven, and twelve. Mr. John Friesen was coach. At the commencement of the season it was already quite obvious that our girls lacked experience. Their chief difficulties lay in the shooting department. The Acettes won only two out of the ten league games played. In spite of their numerous losses, the girls always demonstrated good team spirit and good sportsmanship. The Acettes won their first game of the annual tourna¬ ment by downing the Emerson girls 14-5. However, the Winkler girls defeated Altona 21-5 in the second game, thus eliminating the Acettes from the tournament. The girls have the potential of becoming a first-rate team once again in the future. Although they were quite unsuccessful this year, we expect greater things from them next year.
