Intramural Champions HE basketeers of Senior B went through a strenuous season with their record marred by only a single defeat which they encountered at the hands of their equals-Senior A. This fast moving quintet won the intramural cham- pionship by a decisive victory over the hard fighting aggregation from Sopho- more A. This super-team of Senior B is comprised of prominent members of the Senior class. D. Starrs and J. Fisher Won fame on the grid-iron and proved to be equally clever on the basketball court, While D. Fieck, P. Montgomery, J. Freeman, E. Swader and G, Harrington have been playing intramural basket- ball together throughout their high school careers and have developed a smooth running basketball combination, J. Sullivan and H. Heitman added strength to the cagers. Sophomore A took honors for second place, these cagers were the only obstacle to the Seniors and gave them fine competition. Members from this aggregation will be seen on the varsity basketball squad of '32. Senior A, a team of clever ball-handlers won the honors for third place. This intramural competition gives every student in the high school an opportunity to participate in the school's athletic activties. It also develops material for the varsity teams in the years to come. Senior Scientific Scaled: H. Heitman, D. Starts, J. Sullivan, J. Fisher, R. Montgomery Standing: G. Harrington. E. Swacler, J.

Girls' Basketball NCOURAGED by Redeemer's remarkable success in the first year of an official Girls' Athletic Department, the opening of the 1931 basketball season was welcomed enthusiastically by students interested in the sport. A large repre- sentation from each grade of the High School pre- sented themselves to Mrs, Rentz at the first call for volunteers. A friendly rivalry persisted: for all craved the singular honor of wearing the purple and gold uniform significant of battles gained and A. cumm victories won. l Captain However, the task of selecting members for the varsity did not prove a difficult one, for only three experienced players had been lost to the team through graduation. With loyal Redeemer spirit, earnest and diligent practice was begun. Under the careful and interested guidance of Mrs. Rentz, pros- pective newcomers were drilled in the art of intricate floorwork and accurate passing, while veterans renewed their efforts and increased their skill. It was not surprising, therefore, that the team should present a formidable appearance to opponents When, after several weeks of hard, earnest work, the difficult schedule of games was initiated. Despite the dissolution of the Catholic League this year, interest in inter-scholastic matches had not waned, and it was but an easy task to draw up a complete schedule, which included some of the most experienced and successful schools in the League of 1930.
