Girls’ Basketball Luella Roberts ’14. The girls’ basketball team was organized the first part of the .last semester, with Emma Sedgley Ti, as manager, and Ethyl Graham ’12, as captain. On November ir, 1910, we played our first game with Healdsburg High School, at Healdsburg, with the follow- team: Isabelle Grant ’ll, center; Emma Sedgley ’ii, and Anita Grant ’12, guards; Hazel Browne ’10, Ethyl Graham ’12, goals, and Louise Wilson ’13, sub. The result of this game was 12 to 18 in favor of our team. There was a good attendance, and among the spectators were a. great many from Cloverdale. Xo more games were played, in 1910, and none in 1911, as our team was broken up, on account of so many girls drop- ping out.

soon returned, bringing both food and water, and accompanied by one of the Cave women, graceful as a fawn, the most win¬ some creature I had ever set eyes on. After eating and drinking some of the people helped us and we carried Red and Dooley to the village, which was a nest of caves in the cliffs. We remained several days. We all recovered our bodily strength, but Red and Dooley remained in their delirium. Atherton said their souls were too coarse and unrefined to be taken back to a precious existence. The lives of the Cave people I will not describe now, but wait until we have more leisure; but Jack London’s description of primitive people is far-fetched. I have seen it with my own eyes though I can¬ not explain it. Atherton thinks he can, but I do not know. A terrific thunder storm swept over the land, and when it was over we started for home, helped by the Cave People. The Cave woman I mentioned was Atherton’s sweetheart. On parting she gave him a present of a pottery vase full of prec¬ ious gems. Then she disappeared and the desert was before us again. Hi Randall says he found Atherton and I dragging Red and Dooley across the hot sands. We were both out of our heads with the thirst and heat, and it took several weeks in the hos¬ pital to put us in shape again. I could 11 the whole experi¬ ence the imaginations of a heat-crazed mind if it was not for the pottery vase. It was real, full of precious stones and showed the workmanship of a primitive people. Atherton gave me half of the proceeds and we came back to college upon the money.

Athletics The summer and fall of the year nineteen ten and the winter and spring of nineteen eleven, our school enjoyed the most success in athletics that it has for some time. Owing to the efforts of the boys of the school, though few in number, and the interest taken by everyone, we had speedy basketball and baseball teams, and very good track and tennis teams. Early in the fall the boys went into training for positions on the basketball team, and it was one of the captain’s most onorous tasks to pick his players. The players selected to represent our school were: Centers, Brush and McDonald; forwards, McCabe, Reger, Thompson; guards, J. Sink, D. Sink and F. Belford. The first game played was against a team picked from the city schools. After a hard fought game, in which Mahoney, of the visitors, had the skin torn from the bottom of his foot, the home team emerged triumphant with a score of 17 to 33. McCabe played a star game, making 20 of the points for the home team. Soon after this game our boys lined up against the strong team from Healdsburg, with Beason as their center, and Lampson and Eldridge as goalers. The Cloverdale boys were in the lead from the start and by their classy team work, play¬ ed the boys from the prune city off their feet to the tune of 12 to 21. The third game scheduled was with Geyserville. The team work displayed before was in evidence, and with Reger and McCabe as forwards, Brush as center, and the Sink Brothers as guards, Geyserville went down to their first defeat, the final score being 14 to 27. By this time our team had gained confidence enough to enter the Northwestern Sub-League, and played the first game in Healdsburg against the representative team of that city. At the end of the first half we were behind by 6 points, the score being 12 to 6; but again by our machine-like team work we forged ahead and defeated the home team by 23 to 19. 23
