 djc Review of the 1924 Co-Ed Basket-Ball Season The close of the first official basket-ball season for the girls finds the balance in score overwhelmingly in favor of the Co-eds. With a squad of only twelve girls available from which to pick a team, a fighting aggregation was evolved that allowed only one defeat out of a schedule of five games; this defeat came from a team which afterwards showed itself to be superior to any in Tennessee. Hard work, faithful practice, coaching and co-operation soon built up a spirit and teamwork that was not to be counted lightly in any contest on their schedule. The Tennessee Teachers from Johnson City were first to invade the territory of the Waspettes. The fast and efficient teamwork and experience of their oppo- nents proved to be a white elephant for the Co-eds, and after a close struggle in the first half the score turned with a heavy margin to the credit of the Tennessee girls. The final score was 42 to 12. Coming back in full force in the following game with Martha Washington they revenged their defeat of last year by reaping a real victory from the Martha Mamas. Stonewall Jackson came next on the list. The visitors were not equal to the occasion which resulted in an easy victory for the Emory girls. The whole team worked in perfect accord and kept the game well in the hands of the Co-eds for the entire evening. Decided upon a more complete revenge for the defeat of the previous season, the Waspettes again allowed the Martha girls to invade their camp. This time the visitors left with a score of 32 to 16 to the credit of the Co-eds. The final court battle of the Co-eds court season took place on the home floor of the Stonewall folks. With a flash of fast team and floor work the Co-eds took the stronghold of the Stonewall aggregation to the tune of 24 to 9. At no time during the game did the rivals threaten to take the lead. For the locals the total count of the season was 118 against 93 for their opponents. Several high schools were defeated by the Co-eds with lop-sided scores, these games not count- ing in the schedule and were classed as practice games. 107

£i)C |lljtux The Waspettes of this year’s team are the first to be awarded the Monogram for this excellent record. The monogram is smaller, and on the old English style, so they cannot be taken for the regular E and H monograms. The following girls won monograms: Ann Falin, captain; Katharine Tilly, Helen Orr, Lucile Griffitt, Margaret Anderson, Juliet Miller, Ruth Berry, Anna Dinkins. By taking a glance at the schedule you can see the team was always fighting and Emory and Henry is proud of them.
