Tennis Tennis is a game which has increased wonderfully in in- terest in our High School during the past year. We have only the one clay court to play on. If enough interest is taken again this year, like last year, we will have no difficulty in securing enough room to provide for all those who wish to play. Our one court is now developing into a good condition and if we have the material again this year we should have the championship team of the Cedar Valley district. This year some tennis games are to be scheduled along with the track meets. Last year the tennis tournament was held at Independence between Independence, Cedar Falls and Manchester, both the boys and girls, Independence winning in both the boys' and girls', but we gave them a run for their money in the singles and doubles. Our court last year was just new and it was still a little soft in places when we Went to the tournament, and We found that we were not used to playing so fast a game as they played on that hard court, so were forced to lose to both Independence and Cedar Falls. There was a marked improvement last year after the meet and, with this year's practice, there should be no just reason for losing.

girls' Basket 365111 A The girls also had a successful year. The girls' team was the smallest in size that it has been for years, but they had the fight and made good use of it. 1 The first game of the season was with Independence at Manchester. It proved to be a fast and interesting game-one of the closest games played in years, but we beat them by a close score of 13 to 12. Next came the game with Central City, but it proved to be an easy game for our cyclone forwards and our guards sure played some game. If you don't believe that, reason it out when you hear the score of 55 to 1. The only one they got was a foul they happened t-0 scratch. Third came the game at Independence, which they won by a small margin, but it was after We had a little hard luck and one of the players had to quit because of a fractured wrist. The score ws 20 to 10. Then came the Greeley game, which we easily captured after a good scrap, but it was too much one-sided to be so very interesting, as the score was 57 to 1. X 0 Then came the Marion game, which was taken by the locals, 36 to 6. That game made three games that Manchester won that night-the first team from Toledo, the girls from Marion and second team from Winthrop. This was also a one- sided game but caused by our good players. Then came the third game between Independence and Manchester. This time the girls had hard luck and lost to In- dependence on their home floor, but Independence surely had a good team. This score was the worst we had been beaten for years, 21 to 1. Then came Delhi, a double game at home between the boys and girls. This game was another walkaway for the girls and also for the boys, the girls' score being 47 to 0. Last but not least came the Marion game at Marion, which the girls lost on account of hard luck on the part of our star guard, who got a dislocated ankle. Until then we were ahead, but later were defeated by a score of 16 to 10. The following girls received their letters: Dutton, Pen- tony, Drew, Hoyt, Trumblee, Dunlap and Robinson.
