GIRLS' BASKETBALL PERSONNEL Grace Bamberg, captain of the team and star forward, play- ed on the floor, in the air and everywhere. No more need be said for she is world renowned already. Nora Wolfe, forward little but mighty, seldom missed a free shot. Meta Buttelman came in at the middle of the season and very ably worked up to a confident forward. Hallie Cantonwine, jumping center, always in the air, sur- prised her opponents constantly by making them wonder where the ball had gone. She proved her true worth when she saved the day at Lewiston by ably playing the whole floor. Sallie Bamburg running center, was a cool but swift player and never missed a signal, played rough, or made a foul. Sarah Williaiiis, guard, was a little fighter and whither her forward went she went also. Zelma Flock, guard, won a reputation equalled by none for holding her forward down to nothing. Any forward had to be catty, swift and active to get by her. Page Fifty-One

Girls, Basketball The girls' basketball season was a huge suCCQSS1 f Although enthusiasm was lacking at the beginning Of the year, it was gradually aroused and lasted throughout the season. ' The girls were greatly indebted to L-2lyV1'C1'1C3 Evans, who spent considerable time coachrng .the girls while Mr. Pontius, the regular coach s time was occupied with football. Grace Bamburg was elected captain of the team and Zelma Flock, man- ager. I The first game was played january 24, with Weston High School on their floor. By requ6St of the opposing team, Grace Bamburg, our star for- ward did not play. The Columbia girls came off the floor victorious and encouraged as to the out- come of the rest of the games scheduled. . l Bamburg, Capt. The game with the All-Star team of 'Wfalla VValla was great- ly enjoyed by our team. The Columbia girls found them unusually good sports. The game was fast throughout and ended happily for Columbia. An exceedingly exciting game was played at Touchet with the town team. The result was a defeat for Touchet. Two games were played with the Dixie town team resulting in their loss. After the game, the Dixie team served refreshments which, needless to say, were enjoyed by the 'Columbia team. . The climax of our schedule was the two games played with Lewiston, Idaho, at Lewiston. The trip was made in cars and the girls were .entertained at the dormitories and at private homes. The two teams had practiced different bas- ketball, Lewiston playing the five-man game with the floor divided in half, while Columbia played six players and used the regular divisions of the floor for girls' basketball. The two styles were used in the two games and Columbia overcame the difficul- lties and won both games. These games were the 'grand finale of the season owing to an epidemic of 'measles which caused us to cancel two games sched- uled with Pendleton High School and a return game - with Touchet. l l Hudson, Referee Page Fifty l l ,U 54 .1 5. l 03.-
