THE ECHO Ulilliilitliflillillff Uliilitiii lililillillllllflltiit U GIRLS' BASKETBALL r A new policy was adopted last year in this sport and was continued this year. Prior to last year the girls played in a regular league. In this league the girls' efforts met with great success. The girls finished second in this league in 1929-30, losing out to Marion High only after a great fight for first place. The next two years found the, Ontario lassies winning two consecutive NVayne County championships. The 1931-32 team, captained by Katherine VVaterman, was the greatest girls' basketball team in the history of school athletics here. The team won all of its games with the exception of one, and that was lost by one point. But to get back to the new policy which was followed this year. The entrance of the boys' basketball team into the A league left the' Ontario girls without a regular league to play in. The girls in the A schools do not play league basketball. Coach Drews decided that a new policy of playing a grieater number of girls in games with liess emphasis on winning should be adopted. This policy has proven very successful although the record of games won is not as good as in the past. But to offset this more girls have been able to take part. in this healthful sport and the squad has had much more fun in playinfg the game. The policy will be continued. ' This year's record wats far from impressive when games won are considf ered, but over 25 girls came out for practice and this squad remained during the entire season. Fifteen of these girls played in inter-school games during the year. Many more participated than could have been possible under the old system. The following girls will leave their Alma Mater this year and wc chronicle, with regret these names: Captain Ava Keymel, fy Julia Mattison, cg Ruth Thompson, gg Ruth Gates, gg Stella Biesada, gg Pearl Treese, fg Lillian Barker, eg and Marjorie Rouch, mgr. Coach William Drewis is also leaving this sport after five years of work in this field. Miss Pauline Drake, whose iioyal help has had so much to do with the success of the team, will be the new coach of this sport. Good luck, Miss Drake! The work of Manager Marjorie Rouch, who leaves us this year, is deeply appreciated. Her work in handling the details made the season a success from the managerial angle.
