S-ix victories out of eight starts is the record which they made for the season of 1921 and their two defeats were caused by Flint and Birmingham, both of whom were in running for the state cham- pionship. They ably revengecl themselves on F lint, however, by defeating them at home by the score of 26 and I9. To start the season the girls came thru with a victory over the Alumni

The following week saw the girls visiting at , Flint. Flint Central had a good team but our 1 girls were hampered by the floor, which was the largest they played on all year. Flint was the victor in this game by the score of 30 and I5. The week of February II, Rosary Hi of Detroit came to do battle with our girls. Monroe was the victor in this contest by a large score, 42 and 6. Birmingham followed Rosary and brought the best team that showed here all year. They defeated us by the score of I7 and 39. After the Birmingham game the team went to lVlt. Clemens , to play the High School of that city. Playing on ei floor of about the same size as at l'li11t, they were victorious in this game, 4 the final score being 26 and I9. To end the season the Alumni, who were feeling pretty mad about the first game, were played again. They were decisively beaten, this time by the score of 36 and 22. The wohle team played well and is deserving of much praise. Violet and Viola Rau played well at forwards, with Elsie Zapf and Katherine Tatroe ready to step in at a moment's notice. Grace Dusseau and Freda Zapf were the centers and were very clever at getting the ball from the guards and passing it to the forwards. Jane Mitchell and Marian Weis played good games at guard and could always be relied upon. Virginia Hubble and Hazel Ciray were able substitutes. The team is to be con- gratulated on the excellent ercord which they made for the season of I92l. Following are the statistics: Jan. I5-Hi School Alumni . . . . .22 lVl. H.
