Her sole interests and labo1's were always in their behalfg she gave them numerous plays and signals which were successfully worked in the season 's games. And Oh! Boy! did she make them train? Well-just ask any of the girls-but ask them also if these strict rules and regulations didn 't prove at benefit. She was a good sport and easily entered into their fun, winning the respect of all the girls on the team. N inctcen

They were unusual athletes and good spo1'ts. After they were sent to Oelwein to the tournament, a letter was received commenting upon the attractiveness, perfect sportsmanship, and fine manners of the team. Such was the team of 1927. The first game of the season ca-me popping upon the horizon all too soon. With our star forward, none other than Gib, repining at home behind an accursed mumps sign, and Jack F'arwell absent because of t-hem, the skies looked rather sinister and grey. '.However, with excellent co-operation in Delva's and Judy's urea, they turned that dark cloud inside out and outshone the Hopkinton girls with a 24-5 score. A capital beginning! Earlville-easily, it was one of the scrappiest games of the season. tNVot say, boys'll June and Jack were sure playing their best, in fact every member of the team was. The score 36-6 listens like the game might have been a bit one-sided. ' Propaganda! The ball was in both territories about an equal length of time, which made the game plenty interesting. Next! On the home floor came Independence which as usual fetched a big crowd. This game was not so much a struggle as a run-away. The ole' ball just seemed to roll right in for Crib, Mary in the center was just like quick silver-everywhere at 01106. As a result of their labo1's, they basked 'in the glory of a 41-13 score. The following game well-nigh exhausted the score keeper and the famous sentence, yelled by Mr. Gross- man, Oh, you brutal girls, puts it all in a nut shell. The way Gib toppled in those baskets and piled up the score, was an insult, yes, a crime! Coach Yeager put in her second team, which made Edgewood wonder how many first teams Manchester had. Lane and White did well at center. The score? Oh yes, now, d0n't let it overwhelm you, 85-3. Perseverance wins! So they say. Anyhow, the Manchester girls, having thus far won, determined to pursue old da-me victory further and capture another laurel at Independence, and they did: in form of a 36-21 score. Smitty and Hooshie played good basketball in this game and stuck to their forwards like cockle-bur1's. This was one of the fastest and best fought games on the schedule. Sh! Don't tell a soul-but 'tis suspected that the girls had a light touch of that disease, known as confidentitis in this next game up at Edgewood. Oh yes, it happens in the best of teams! The pre- scribed cure is-one good defeat- or a big dose of scolding from a thoroughly disgusted coach. The latter remedy proved most successful, as these stricken lassies waded in during the last half and ran the score into the fifties. Lucille Hockaday was the center attraction! playing in that territory and that position. Look at Delva toss in those baskets, yelled the boys from the sidelines. Well, would you ever! The score? 8-54. Ki yil Earlville again! And on our home floor. The M. H. S. team had formed a conspiracy and had it all doped out to give the score keeper cramps in this chevy chase. However, they were foiled. The ref fouled 'em right and left which naturally slowed up the game. A remarkable fact is that Earlville committed 14 personals and 10 technicals to our 4 personals and 8 techs. Some of the seconds were given a try and they helped to freeze Earlville out with a 36-11 score. Alma Smith subbing for Hooshie did a neat bit of guarding--seldom did her forward clamp her hands on the ball. A return game had been scheduled with Hoptown but the roads in that vicinity -were so impassable that not even a tin lizzy could have struggled through them. Of course the game was postponed. To keep the girls busy and in good condition for the tournament, several practice games were arranged. The first one with Colesburg on their iioor proved a sad occasion for the local sextette, as the Colesburg girls administered them a neat trimming. The other practice game with Greeley was more satisfactory, as our gang were again back on their own and kept a grand lead throughout the fracas. The Oelwein Tourney Ah! Now we cl11'onicle the tournament! The crotwning event of the season. The girls' jolly plans and bright hopes took quite a slump, however, when they found they had drawn Maynard. That superior team, about which papers ravedl Oil What a shock they gave the natives at Oelwein when they walloped that highly lauded team 37-8. It was a glorious game. Haeussler out-jumped her center consistently and broke up a good many of their Twenty
