Athletic History of l9l8fl9 Owing to the epidemic of Spanish influenza, athletics started very much later than usual this year. Girls were obliged to remain away from school for long periods at a time and it was not until the winter was well under way that basketball began. There was no difficulty in playing the games of the first series, but when the second series began we were pressed for time. U2 lost one of their guards in Althea Noble, who was obliged to leave the city. There was no one to take her place, so the team was forced to withdraw from the league. The championship went to U4 for the second time. They were undefeated and had an excellent team. The forwards were sure of their baskets and played well together. Natalie Todd played an extremely good game Page Fifty-nine in center. She was sure of stopping swift balls and covered the ground with ease and celerity. A great deal should be said in praise of the guards, who seldom missed a ball or failed to pass across to their forwards. Mention should be made here of the excellent spirit and sportsmanship of the Upper First team. They never failed to meet their games or to appear for practice on their appointed days. Although this was their first year at basketball they did very well and the higher classes will have to toe the mark or soon this team will claim the championship. Carmen Schneider is already very nearly equal to any of the centers on any of the other teams. The entire team works well together and deserves a great deal of credit for their strong support of the league.
