X411 ll , 'xx eff THE M33 f ELK vii ix, its Y 'win BASEBALL There was more interest aroused in baseball this year than ever before, it was all due to the formation of the Rural Athletic League, including Court-- land, Galt, San Juan and ourselves. ln this way a definite schedule of games washiixed and a trophy was at stake for the champions. Freshmen predomi- nated in the lineup this year. Our First game of the year was a practice game with the Sacramento High Cadets, played at Sacramento on March 29th. XVe were nosed out by a score of 6-3 after nine innings of hard playing. Galt came to our diamond for the tirst league game of the season on April 6th. Wfe started out right by taking them into camp by the score of 5-4. lt was an air-tight game throughout and principally a pitcher's battle. April 13th witnessed our second league g'ame on our home diamond with San juan. A high north wind was blowing and our fielders got lots of track practice. lfVe lost ll-5, after nine innings of ragged and loose playing. VVe gave Galt their return game at Galt, April 16th. lt was an air-tight game, very few hits being made on either side. No runs scored until the seventh inning. Again we lost, Z-1. , Our league did not call for a game on April 24th, so we arranged a game with Roseville to fill in. VVe played at home. The contest was a close one during the whole nine innings, each team having the lead one or more times. But, the breaks were against us and we came out on the tail end of an ll-9 score. . - - -Hugh Tickler, '2O. Baseball Team-Front Row: Rodney Idzinga, Harold Hooper CSubs.J.

Xb . 'Egg 4.1 Y 1 THE ELK triumphs. Their unflagging enthusiasm and regularity at practice games is truly commendable. Considerable interest has been manifested in tennis this year, particularly by the Freshman girls. Several tournaments have been started with plenty of pep but, with the exception of one now in progress, have fallen through. The girls fought for the tennis court during physical training period until Miss Hyatt tactfully aroused their interest in the fascinating sport of girls' baseball. Under the able leadershp of Jessie Cumpston a well-matched game is now hotly contested every physical training period. Physical torture has caused many groans and grunts of anguish but Miss Hyatt's interest is infectious. No further evidence than the rosy glow of our girls' blooming cheeks, the supple grace of their every motion, and the bulge of their Hexed muscles is needed as proof of the value of the ninth period exercises. -C.
