1 WWW 'W' of i ' Y., f OLETHA PUCKETT Her ability to play her position stands out more than her size. Her quickness always put her in place to receive the tap-off from her jumping center, then came her accurate pass to the forward. She will be long re- membered by the opposing teams as the one who could make a game as rough as they liked it' but neverthe- less she was a sport. KATHERINE OSWALD She also came to us from Waco Hi with basketball experience. She al- ways will be remembered for her faithfulness and willing to put her best into every game. Her highest stride of play came in the second Waco Hi game in which her guard- ing featured. We want her back next year. L. C. MEHARG. B'efore the season was well under way every one began to realize that there was great improvement in this girls playing. She did this only through loyalty and hard Work which was also notable in her playing of scheduled games. Her graduation in June makes it impossible for her re- turn next year.

Spoflighfs of fhe Season On March 20 and 21 the Cougars played their first conference games with the North Texas Aggies. The first game was a runaway for the Cougars, piling up 14 runs to the opponents 2. The thrill of the game came when Ballew smaked out a home run. The second game was a slugfest, but not looking very good for the Cougars till they put over one of those much read of ninth inning rallies and took the game by a score of 14' to 13. On April 4 the C-ougars performed one of the greatest accomplishments of the season when they journeyed over to Marlin and took a game from that team of the Texas Association. This was not a conference game but it was one of the brightest lights of the season and one of which Meridian was proud. The feature of the game was the hitting of Whitlock who gleaned four hits out of five trips, one of which was a home run. I - On April 9 the Cougars continued their victorious march by tak'ng two more games from the North Texas Aggies. The pitching of Leach and Car- penter were the features of the games and at the close of the last game the Cougars had bagged two more of their conference games. Score the first day was I4 to 1 and the last day 114 to 0. On April 23, 241, Meridian went to Stephenville to engage in a battle with their old rival, John Tarleton. The first game proved very disastrous for the Cougars and the Plowboys got away with the big end ofa 9 to 3 score. The next day the Cougars came back and handed the Plowboys a defeat by com- pletely outplaying them in every phase of ihe game. Rex Love pitched con- sistent ball for the Meridian team and refeived excellent support throughout the contest. ' On May 1 and 2, Meridian was eliminated from the race for the champion- ship by the strong Decatur club. The first day saw one of the greatest pitchers' battles ever staged on the Decatur lot between Watson, Indian Ace, and Car- penter of the Cougars, but the Meridian team failed to hit when hits meant runs and they were forced to accept the small end of a 1 to 0 score. . The second day the Indians forged ahead by making 7 runs in the second inning and Meridian was never able to overcome this lead. With the excep- tion of this one bad inning the Cougars had a good day, but the Indians had a better one with a win to the tune of 10 to 4. ' o me BOSQUI? 1925 'il
