It is always the scene of lively competition, fine sportsman- ship, and great enthusiasm. Now basket-ball is the girls' major field of activity, and whatever doubts there may have been in the past as to the permanency of girls' basket-ball at Emory and Henry have all been expelled by the splen- did record made by this year's quint. Sporting new uniforms the lassies in- vaded such foes as Milligan, Lincoln Memorial University, and Marion College, with seven victories out of twelve attempts—and Ju Ju's Studebaker really can cover the ground.

Rollins College took the Wasps' measure in two of the contests, Pres- byterian and Newberry accounted for the other defeats. Back home after their long jaunt, the diamond maestros split a double head- er with the Illinois State Teachers, taking the first tussle, 8 to 6, and dropping the second, 7 to 6. Lenoir Rhyne was the next objective. The local lads lost the contest, 9 to 4. The Wasps traveled to Quantico to tangle with the Marines. A 6 to 1 victory was the result of the first game, but in the second engagement the Emoryites were at the short end of a 10 to 9 count. On April 2 the Roanoke College nine slugged out a 15 to 7 victory over the Wasp team. The next two games were with Maryville; the Wasps split the doubleheader, winning the first contest and dropping the second. Thus a record of four wins and nine losses was the net result of the baseball season. Page 108

When the white tapes go down we know that spring has arrived. Out come tennis rackets, ball, and enthusiasts eager for the first serve of the season. Although a comparatively new phase of activity for the girls, they can swing a wicked racket when an opponent appears. Page 110 4JLL
