Redeemer 10 - Western 29 Opp The Team opened the 1930-31 season by playing their neighborhood rivals Western at the opponent s gymnasium. The home team was no match for their older and more experienced foe and succumbed to the attack of the Western sextet after a determined game the inal score being 29-10. Redeemer 19 - Northwestern 29 With somewhat subdued spirits Redeemer returned from Northwestern gymnasuim the following week possessing the smaller end of the 29-19 score Although defeated in our initial attempts the experience gained in these two contests proved valuable to the team for the remainder of the season. Redeemer 23 - St. Anthony 19 In the first game played with Catholic schools, Redeemer met and defeated St. Anthony's on the opponent's home Hoor. A well played game gave Re- deemer a 23-19 victory. Redeemer 30 - Gesu 16 The home season was opened by a spirited game with the Gesu team, The superior passing and teamwork of Redeemer completely bewildered Gesuxand another game brought victory to our team. Redeemer 28 - St. Anthony 10 Redeemer 22 - 3St. Paul 9 Redeemer ran their total of successive victories to four in the next two games by defeating St. Anthony's 28-10 and St. Paul's of Grosse Pointe 22-9.

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.

St. Pau1's of Grosse Pointe were the next conquerors of the purple and gold, winning the return game on their home floor by the narrowest of margins, 25-24. Redeemer 25 - St. Joseph 17 These two defeats had aroused the girls to a determination not to be daunted. The schedule now called for a game at Adrian with St. Joseph. The way was a long and difficult one, but a conquering team reported an amazing victory to the unfortunate ones who had to remain at home. Redeemer 24 - St. Ambrose 26 St. Ambrose again defeated Redeemer, this time at their gymnasium. lt was another hotly contested game and the visitors lost only after a desperate struggle. The final score was 26-24. Redeemer 23 - Alumnae 10 Redeemer 25 -- .Alumnae 10 In the next two games Redeemer proved to the Alumnae that the varsity was the superior team by trouncing the graduates 23-10 in the first game, and 25-10 in the second game. This game was the final one of the season for the varsity and also marked the athletic farewell of four Senior girls: Alice Cutcher, captain and forward: Lyrdia Michalski, stellar guard: Helen Sinnott, lanky jumping center: and Mary Ouellette, forward. Ft was a glowing finis to a brilliant athletic career for these girls on the court. ,,.. , ,. .. ,M A M P A N 1 TL E vig: l .xx v 4' .g A O E 4 - 3 X .E X D. Kohls B. Rinke M.
