Giria aa eabam Wea ELSIE YOST- Forward. Captain Elsie was without a doubt, one of the fastest forwards in the state. Besides being an excellent leader, she was the steadiest player on the team and possesses great ability in following the ball. She's in her last year. VELMA FORBES- Center. Shorty has the distinction of being the only one to have played every game . She could be depended upon to get the tip off and the team loses a ntain stay when she leaves. HILDA WEIGAND- Running Center. The team Work of Hilda and Shorty was a feature of every game. Her passing the ball and floor work was above reproach. She played her last year for Orange gl Black. HAZEL HAYES- Forward. Hazel playing was a valuable asset to the team. She could be counted on to make a basket when it was most needed. A sprained ankle kept her out a part of the season. She will not be back for next year's team. BERTHA SCHLEGEL- Guard. Bertha was the find of the season. Al- though she didn't c-once out until the middle of the season, she soon landed a place on the first team. Lucky was the forward that could get an open shot with Bertha guarding. WINNIE SMITH- Forward. Although this was her first year, Winnie played like a veteran. Her team work was good and her eye for a bas- ket must not be overlooked. Great things are expected of her next year. MILDRED SMITH- Guard. Very few open shots were ever secured by Mildred's opponents as she was always on the job. A bad arm kept her out of several of the games. but another year ought to see her one of tlfe best guards in this part of the state. HELEN LEDERER- Guard. The Hoisington game is what causes one to renfenfber Helen for everyone knows the good game she put up. She was a consistent player and a defensive guard that baffled the best of basket shooters. ISABEL MENELEY. Isabel didn't get. a letter this year but whenever she was needed she was on the job. She was a good figh-ter, used her head, and displayed good team work. I l - -,..., .

1 N Basket ball prospects were never brighter for the girls than this year when the opening of the season found four letter girls in school. There was also splendid new material and La Crosse supporters were enthusiastic ovcr the seasons prospects, and they were doomed to dis- apointment for the 1922 season closed with the girls winning eleven out of the thirteen games played. The only schedule game lost was one with Ness City, where injuries kept two of the players out of the game. The return game, however, was won by a good margin. At the Hays tournament, the girls won the first two games play- ed. They opened the tournament with the Lewis team and won 18 to 12. They also won the game with Lovewell. Ardent supporters doped the La Crosse girls to get the finals but they lost the third game by 3 points. However, they played a consistent brand of basket ball and the speed and work of the captain, Elsie Yost., was one of the features of the tournament.
