Haas, who was a consistent and insistent scorer. The climax of the cage game season came when the Highlanders turned back three of their most formidable foes in one week.

As they approached the island, they saw on the beach twelve husky females playing volley ball. The game was interrupted while Fourbee and Peegee were hailed with lusty cheers led by two young Amazons, Henrietta Barker and Vera Dickens.
