f 5 5 ' GIRLS' BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS For the second consecutive year the Blue and White lassies have won the B championship of 'Wayne County. This is a remarkable record for a girls' team and in the past three years the girls have won 44 games and have lost only eight. The first year under Coach Drews the team finished in second place while the past two years have found our girls on the top rung. But to get on with the story. The girls started out well and won the first six games but they then struck a snag and were defeated by our old rivals from Williamson by a 11-10 score. Victory after victory rolled in for the lassies until the end of the season found Williamson and Ontario tied, with the crucial game to be played on the Williamson court. The new Williamson gymnasium was packed for this contest. At half time the score was tied at 12 points apiece. Came the second half. Ontario obtained the ball and held on to it the greater part of the period. When the smoke cleared and the battle was over the S0013 board read: Ontario 27, Williamson 12. The Williamson lassies hadn't score a point in the second half. Spectators claimed it was the fastest game they had ever witnessed, either girls' or boys' competition. This clinched the banner for our girls and once more they were champions. The team record for the year is outstanding. Our players registered 298 points to their opponents' 119 points. They won fifteen games and lost on y one. Captain Vifaterman scored 118 of the 298 points made by our team. The entire squad of fourteen girls was used in practically every game thereby keep- ing all of the girls interested in this fine sport. It is with a feeling of regret that we are forced to chronicle the fact that seven of our favorites are leaving this year. These girls have worked faithfully for four years for their Alma Mater and it has been chiefly through their efforts that we have had such a fine record. The school will feel keenly the loss ef Captain Waterman. Fern Brundigc, Caroline Brundige, Ethel Lebbert, Beatrice Smith. Ruth Faas and-Ruth Downs. . Manager Marjorie 'Johns is also leaving our group and it must be said that her work has plaved an important part in the making of the past season a success. Coach Bill Drews has had considerable success with girls' basketball and the smooth working combinations which he has turned out prove that he deserves much credit for the fine showing made. Miss Drake, our faculty ad- visor. has given much of her time to the team and has done much to promote the success of the season. Sportsmanship was the keynote of the team spirit and we are proud that our girls are pl-wing the game not onlv to win but also in the proper spirit.
