Betty Van Dusen and Louise Rickerson were chosen captains. The girls' intention was to have two teams to play against each other for practice, and to choose the best six for the interclass games. Some of the girls, however, were forced to give it up, a few because their parents dhap- proved, some because they were not allowed time for practice, and for various other reasons, until there were only six or seven left, of both teams. The Dreadnaughts played three games. The first, with the Freshman girls' team, the score was 6 to 9 in favor of the Sophomores. The next game, with the junior girls, the tallji 'board showed 3 to O in favor of the Juniors. Neither of the regular Dreadnaugh gaurds played, their places being filled by Edith Thomas and Louise Rickerson. Not one field throw was made during the game. The only scores made were free throws. The game was fast and exciting, and both teams deserve credit for good work. The last game was a return play with the Freshman girls. Again the Sophomores were unfortunate enough to lose in a score of 8 to 2. Although the' girls were defeated they still remain undaunted, Each individual of the team is fast. but alas, sometimes so fast they don't see where they are putting the ball. The greatest fault of the guards, guard- ing over, was due to the misunderstauding of the rulesg this however, has been overcome, The girls are to be encouraged in this healthful sport. Next year, when the basket ball season opens, the Dreadnaughts intend to show their mettle and skill in the game. L. R., '15.

I BASEBALL. Baseball is one of the most prominent forms of atheltic sports in the E. ll. S. The school for many years has put out a winning team, success- fully coping with the teams of larger schools. As we look back over the past records' we are impressed with the large number of games won and the comparatively small number of games lost. lleretofore the people of Edgerton and surrounding comnuinity have patronized the games quite liberally and we feel that this season will prove to be no exception to the rule, P Up until the present time a few games have been scheduled with pros- pects of more. jTl1e season is now well on its way, and although we are not able to innumerate the results of the scheduled games on account of this issue going to press at an early date, yet we hope that the standard of teams will be upheld by the team of the present season. The school in recent years has put out several who are now playing professional baseball. There are still some remaining in our midst who are destined to become the equals of Cobb, Mathcwson, Marquard, llflurray, etc. Some school believe in confining their athletic sports to the school itself, but these are few and of minor importance. llowcver we maintain that these interscholastic meets bring out the true, quality and ability of the participants, and thereby increase the school spirit and interest. 44
