Girls Play Basketball Tun Have you been wondering what the girls are doing in the big gym during PE. period? Well, whether it looks like it or not, they're playing basketball. They've been practicing the dif- ferent passes, shots, and dribbles. You may be interested in know- ing that girls do not play basket- ball the way boys do. They have a limited dribble of two dribbles and only play on half the court. They use the whole court but 3 forwards and 3 guards must stay on one side of the middle line. Different teams meet in the gym after school and play oppo- nents. These games are similar to those of the volleyball intra- murals except that the basketball teams will have nothing to do with the advisory. Teacher: 'Are you sure this is a perfectly original theme? Rufus Long: Well, not exactly, you might find one or two words in the dictionary. ....... ,F ..... v 1-,-1-: -1 ,-sz-1 .- 1 5:3555 . . ff I f sss s . I aflf , ,t l,. i .'..
