It is a favorite sport among the girls. During the year many games were played and so much enthusiasm was aroused that there was a general clamor for permission to accept challenges from other schools. This was refused, however, until the school is older, the girls have had the op- portunity to do full justice to their studies, and had time for special practice. Early in the season the Sub-Freshman team gave the regular College team much good practice. And often the battles were unusually hard fought, the College team gener- ally winning. However, this Sub-Freshman team has been a great factor especially in urging the the older girls on to greater moral, mental, and physical improvement. Owing to the inclemency of the weather there have not been as many games played as there would have been if the College had had an indoor court. This is one of the desired improvements of the future, so that athletics may mean as much as it should in building a strong character. 84
