22 THE BY RON 1 AN Fanger Weld L. Lytle Lynn M. Lytle Lockwood Review of the 1914-15 Season The By roll High School being without a girls' basket ball team for a number of years, we feel proud of the girls who again organized a team, and helped to add more laurels to our hall of fame. The girls played only two games this season, but next season they expect to play more games, and will be in the games to win. Their first attempt was on •January 29, 1915, when they defeated the German Valley Academy’s girls’ team in our gym with a score of 8 to 2. The girls showed classy team work, and victory was certain from the start. The second game they played against the faculty and were defeated with a score of 7 to 10. The girls played hard against the faculty, but the faculty was a little too heavy for them. The game against the faculty was the last game they played and gave them a record of one game won, and one game lost. Their total score for the two games amounted to 15 while their opponents’ was 12.—Ed.
