Roosevelt Swimming To Roosevelt goes the honor of being the first winner of the inter-house swimming cup. Coach Van Dyke's untiring efforts were amply rewarded when the Teddyites stepped out at the inter-house meet with a total of 70 points, an even 20 ahead of their nearest rival. The team was so well bal- anced that fourteen men qualified in the preliminaries, Roosevelt being rep- resented in every event but the lightweight 100 yard free style. Roosevelt took the lead early, In the lightweight breast stroke race Helmrick took an easy first, and Persons of the heavies annexed a second place in his class. McKinnon and Pagenkoff took tirsts in the 50 yard and Z5 yard free style swims. Not to be outdone, McMahon and Hickman took first and second in the 50 yard backstroke, and Humphrey took fourth for the lightweights. In the 100 yard free style second and third were taken by Mosgrove and Lathamer, and Pagenkoff and jenkins took third and fourth in the 25 yard distance. The 250 yard medley was taken easily in the senior event and the juniors did their bit by copping a third. Oxley and Newell kept up the monotony by taking first and third in the heavies' 150 yard free style event. The relay seemed to be just the dish for the heavy- weights, so they annexed the 200 yard free style handily, and the lights grabbed a third in theirevent. McKinnon, McMahon, Oxley. and Pagenkoff, who captured Firsts in their events, also starred later on our state champion varsity team. The Teasing Teddies, the pioneers in worth-while things, feel justly proud of their new cup, ' DAVE PERSONS. 123

Girls' Hockey Each year girls' athletics play a more important part in Northwestern. and the spirit and enthusiasm of the Girls' Hockey team have been something of which the school may well be proud. The team. composed of Margaret Campbell, captain, center halfbackg Hazel Ralph, left halfbackg Inez Gal- braith, right halfbackg Ruth Allen, goalkeeperg Evelyn Leverington, right forwardg Eva Fenn, center forward: Ruth Davis, left forwardg Estelle Du- Bois, right fullback: Thyra Furguson. left fullback: Margaret Eamon, right wingg -lean Persons, left wing, was carefully trained by Miss Esther XYin- ning. Sophia Czyzewski fulfilled the duties of student business manager. The season opened October ll with Southwestern at Southwestern Field, and after a hard struggle the Coltettes lost by one point. the score being 3-2. But defeat did not dampen the spirits of the girls, and although the hopes for VVest Side championshp were somewhat dampened, the victory over Highland Park revived their hopes. Excellent playing' on the part of Mar- garet Eamon, a ninth grader, Tove Ericksen, and Hazel Ralph brought about a 4-0 victory over the Polar Bears. On November 8, the Coltettes met the Cowgirls coached by Miss Sibley, former gym teacher and basketball coach at Northwestern. The score was 9-O in favor of the Northwestern lasses. This victory brought the hockey season to a close, and although we did not win all the games, the pep and loyalty of the girls displayed at the games determined for us a certain measure of success. Last year the Coltettes took second-place in the city, and finished this year with second place in the XVest Side League. 125
