Letter Girls UST as the boys are awarded letters for their achievement in different lines of sport, so are girls. Ir may seem that there is not much actual work a girl could do to obtain a letter, AW Yi but only those who have earned one can appre- ciate it. Wlien a girl has ob- tained one h u n d r e d points, she is eligible to be a member of the Girls A t h l e t i c Association. Only members of the G. A. A. are awarded letters and numerals. T h r e e hundred points bring the class numerals. a block N is given for six hun- dred points, and the highest award, a winged N, is awarded to the girl who has earned one thousand points. By no means are these points easily obtained. If a girl passes the class tryout for a major sport, baseball, basketball, or volleyball, and plays in at least two-thirds of the tournament teams. she is given one hundred points. Per- i 'v-L Miss Smith fect attendance at gym classes for an entire semester, and a large A in the final posture test each gives twenty-five points. Twenty points are given to the captain of class team. Junior and Senior Life Savers are given one hundred points for passing the examination. Points may also be secured by taking track, dancing, tennis, and swimming. Those girls who have earned the 1931 num- erals are Ruth Patterson, Martlia Cook: 1932 numerals, Gertrude Albersmeyer. Virginia Bruick, Katherine 1-labecker, Virginia Krebs. Geraldine Reiber. Virginia Kronkheit. Mildred Wieginan: 1933 numerals, Virginia Engel- brecht, Wfilma Geisler, Ruth Hans, Lydia Prange.

Basketball O imagine Indiana folks without basketball is as foolish as to think of a hsh living without water. It, too, is perhaps the most popular sport at North Side, with both the boys and girls. Gym class teams com- pete in an elimination tournament. Then the class teams are chosen. Each team chooses its captain, and then a round r o b i n tournament is played. This year each girl on the senior squad coached one of the gym class teams. Although most - , ' 5 girls on these teams are quite unfamiliar with the game, yet many interest- ing and well-played games were experienced. By playing on one of these teams, the girl is given a good start to make her class team. In the tournament this season, the final game was won by the team coached by Donna Wade. Her team won by the close score of 14 to 12 over the team coached by Marjorie Slack and Jennie Spice. Miss Schwehn The round robin tournament was won by the Senior squad, which had a perfect record. Each class contributed a team that possessed fast team work and splendid sportsmanship. After this set of games was played, an elim- ination tournament was played to decide the winner of the trophy. This is the first year a trophy has been awarded to the champion team. This trophy will be able to have sixteen different class team numerals engraved on it. The first game between the Freshmen and Sophomores had to be played overtime. The final score was 15 to 15. In the three minutes more, Dorothy Spice gave the Freshmen a two- point shot, and Ruth Shreve of the Sophomores made an overhead goal, giving only one point. The Junior-Senior game was taken easily by the Seniors, 18 to 8. More technique, co-opera- tion, and real playing was exhibited in the final game than in any other game of the season. The score in favor of the Seniors was 33 to 19 over the Freshmen. High point scorers for each team were: Seniors, Marjorie Slackg Juniors, Ruth Nobles, Sophomores, Ruth Shreve and Evelyn Sprawl, and Freshmen, Dorothy Spice. Left to right-NI. Blackburn, R.

Soccer UPF! Pull! Wfhat a workoutl A brand new sport for the girls, the English game of soccer, akin to the boys' football, was played for the first time this year at North Side. Because it was late in the fall before actual games were played, the weather was not favor- able all of the time. The returning players after a game on a muddy day resembled a retreating army, all worn out and splattered with mud. Each gym class contributed one or two teams of eleven players. The positions of the players are: five forwards, three half backs, two full backs. and the one goal keeper. The center forward from one team advances toward the ball, which is placed in the center of the field. She kicks the ball in small passes toward her goal. The opponents try to intercept a pass and get the ball started in their direction. The half backs advance behind the forwards to aid their team if the opponents are successful in breaking through the forward line. The full- backs, stationed at the end of the Held, try with every effort to stop the advancing opponents' ball from getting within the goal territory. The aim of the goal keeper, one whose kick covers a great distance, is to keep the ball from pass- ing within the goal posts. She is the only player who is permitted to use the drop kick, or to throw the ball. The others may not touch the ball with their hands. An inter-gym class elimination was played off after school. Several games scheduled for play came on very cold or rainy days. In the semi- finals, the team captained by Helen Blaising defeated Jennie Spice's team 1 to O, and Ruth Shreve's team won over Ruth Hans' team by the same score. A great deal of enthusiasm was shown during these games, and it is very probable that more interesting games will be played next fall. It may be possible to have a class tournament at that time, too. The semi-final games were played in sleet and snow. The girls braved the weather con- ditions and donned short coats and sweaters over their gym suits. Even the action required in soccer was not sufficient to keep the blood circulating, so the final game was never played off. Page100 THE 1931 LEGEND
