The Clear Lake girls had never lost a game in preceding years and the players of this year’s squad worked hard to retain that reputation. The first game with New Richmond was played at Clear Lake on February 1. It was a very close contest and resulted in a victory for Clear Lake by a 11-10 score. The game was fast and clean and the team work displayed was excellent. On February S Downing was defeated on our floor by a score of 17-4. Again team work featured in our victory. The return game at New Richmond established our team’s superiority by an 18-Id score. On March Id, the girls met their first defeat at Downing. Score, 6-5. This game was played according to boys' rules, which the girls played for the first time. This, together with a small hall, was too great a handicap for the girls. The members of the team and their positions were as follows: Freda Wallen, center; Minnie Holliday, forward; Ava Grimes, forward; Delpha Gale guard ; Irene Marquardt, guard. Freda Wallen and Minnie Ilollidav were the only girls who were on the team last year. Agnes Jones and Theresa Thomas played sub. Abbie Wes1-gate, who has played guard on the team for two years, withdrew from school early in the season. The trips to New Richmond and Downing were greatly enjoyed. The games have proven a source of pleasure and benefit to the girls, and all in all. the season has been a most successful one.
