The girls attended practice with regularity that is seldom found in high school athletics. Most of them played in one or two of the regular games. A11 have become skilled in handling the ball and they will doubtless play an important part in main- taining the high standing of the school. The Second Team played two match games. The first on Dec. 2nd. with the Dallas City girls, was lost by a score of 3 to 5. Considering the experience of the City girls the Scrubs did remarkably well. The next eontest was with the Colusa girls. The game was held in a little coup and amounted to more of a scramble than anything else. Some of the first team girls took part in the mix-up and felt eternally disgraced when the game was lost 5 to 7. These immediately challenged the Colusa team to a regulation game on the Opera House floor at Dallas so that there could be no doubt about the comparative ability of the two teams. D. C. H. S. 20 Biggsville Twp. H. S. 3 The second game with Biggsville was played here on Saturday afternoon, Nov. 15. It was easy money for the centers and guards even though the visitors fought desperate- ly to retaliate for their last drubbing. The work of the for- wards is aptly described by the following verses: THE WAY IT WAS DONE 1.7. D. Butler, in The Dallas City Review.l Little Miss Horner Little Miss Horner Stood at her corner Stuck to her corner- Waiting forthe ball to come. The crowd all yelled at the fun: She threw for a goal: Again and again she did throw! The ball went through the hole, And through the goal it did go. And that's how the scoring begun. And that's how the game was won. Those two Misses Horner Played every old corner ln a way that was pleasing to see. lt was no trouble at all To throw goals wi-th that hall? So the game ended-20 to 3. 9 -me T' 'f ' .LT 'J' 923 . Un, Q 'i , ni- 'I ,t W Jed' 41- .mia

D. C. H. S. 12 Biggsville Twp. H. S. 5 The Girls' Basket Ball Season opened Oct. 29th at Biggs- ville. Unlike the boys, the girls started with a victory. In the first tive minutes of play the Dallas girls made three field goals. This seemed to excite the Biggsville Bunch and sever- al fouls were called. The half ended 8 to 1 in our favor. In the second half the Township girls took a brace and scored four points, but at the end D. C. H. S. was winner 12 to 5. In this game Mable Horner made 10 of the 12 points and created quite a sensation by some spectacular goalthrows. D. C. H. S. 22 LaHarpe High School 1 The girls played their first home game in the LaHarpe Double-Header Nov. 4th. In former years we were unable to muster a girls' team able to defeat the Lal-Iarpers, but a few minutes of play made it evident that the Red Stockings would gain a decisive victory. When the smoke of the first skirmish cleared away and the score stood 13 to 0 everybody had to admit that our girls were some class. In the second half the visitors were saved the humilia- tion of a white wash by a gift of one point on a foul. The final count was 22 to 1. The team work of the Red and Black was superb. The guards had little chance to extin- guish themselves for the ball rarely got past the centers. i i Iii M55 k ii .TU 5. mmf! Kieran,

S. 17 Dallas City Girls 3 After the Scrubs had received their defeat at the hands of the Townsies a game was arranged between the latter and the regulars for Dec 13th. As a result the former stars learned a few points about the game from the coming Champions. In other words the veterans were no match for the high school girls and had to give up their claim to basket ball honors. D. C. H. S. 10 Colusa Girls 4 Somewhat inflated by their victory over our mixed team the Colusa representatives accepted the challenge to play the regulars here. So great was their enthusiasm that the Opera House was secured for preliminary practice and great excit- ment prevailed. The High School girls soon put a crimp in their fond young ambitions, however, and won an easy victory. D. C. H. S. 11 Carthage College 14 Having safely stowed away all of the available high school teams the girls began to aspire for higher honors. Carthage College presented a proposition worthy of their mettle. The Collegian team was composed of the veteran stars who had held the championship for Carthage High School for three years preceeding. Moreover they were maintaining the old- time form. The C. H. S. team had been drubbed 43 to 0. Christian University of Missouri was sent home defeated 28 to 5. The Western Illinois State Normal's fast team was out- classed 18 to 12. The girls tackled the confident Collegians on the latters home floor with some misgivings. A few minutes of play and the first score lent courage to the Red and Black and sur- prised the rooters. The college girls played with despera- ation and finally won by a close margain. This did not tract from the happiness of the D. C. H. S. girls, however, their high school supremrcy could not be disputed. de- for Y. Q- in! A -0: 7 Q9 - . -4- A,
