THE CARDINAL The Players SENIOR TEAM Ada Slaymaker-Guard Slay played a good defensive game, when she wasn't wasting her breath in ejaculations. Marcia Lodge-Guard During the game Marsh usually expostulated scathingly as to the character of the referee. Jean Allen-Center Jane left all the jangling and yelling to the rest of the gang, but believe me, in other respects she was up on her toes on the job. Ruth James-Guard This 'tPest spoiled many a good play for the opposing team by happening in at just the wrong time for the other fellow. Gwendolyn Kellogg-Running Center Gwennie saved the janitor much work by mopping up the Hoor for him. Nettie Dobers-Forward and Captain When you spy Ned bounding toward you, hang on to your teeth and eyebrows, for it's life or death-mostly the latter. Ask those who know! Lucille Kelly-Guard Kelly was an expert! She made her hands, feet, and lower jaw go Call at the same timel faster than anyone else on the team. Mary Hudson-Guard Peg retained her dignity even on the basketball floor. JUNIOR TEAM Marjorie Guthrie-Guard Guthrie might aptly be called a Basketball Fan, for she always kept her forward cooled off by waving her arms frantically in the air. Guenivere McNeil-Forward Mac was noted for her unsurpassed skill in hitting stiff-caddies on the sidelines! Blanche Miller-Center Miller, hoplessly incapable of keeping her feet out of the way, was unfortunate enough to be unable to finish the season on account of a sprained ankle. it Evelyn James-Forward and Captain '- Eddie will long be remembered for her blue shirt and fiery temper. Marjorie Muesse-Guard Maggic's forward had sufficient grounds for her utter lack of sympath in the former's incessant mourning over broken finger nails. It does take unearthly lbng, we'1l admit, to grow new ones and train 'em to exactly the proper dimensions, but neither do scratched noses heal over night! Dorothy Snyder-Running Center Curly alwa s had lots of fun all by herself chasing the ball out of bounds. Ardath Ryan-Clenter and Guard Ardie really never played hard enough to be out of wind, but she was perpetually yelling Time out or Hey, wait a minute. SOPI-IOMORE-FRESHMEN TEAM Alberta Miller-Guard Speed is a nickname which could readily be applied to Bertie for she not only covered the floor very quickly, but also broke all records of gum chewing. Leola Allen-Forward Lee preferred stepping on toes instead of on the floor. Perhaps the floor wasn't big enough! Irma Young-Center Lanky's greatest advantage over her opponent was that the allowed one step carried her half way across the center. Ruth Slaymaker-Forward and Captain Ruthie stole a ride on her guard every time that she thought that the referee wasn't looking. Beware, Ruthie, you may get arrested for this, sometime! Ruth Stoudt-Running Center Toughie had the detestable habit of holding. Don't you think it is possible that she got this habit playing with the Juniors? Kathleen LaRue-Guard Kitty is usually as prim and trim as can be, but strange to say, she did not mind being dis- hevelled by the fracas. 67
