fa, .Wa 5 ,, 265651. Qbirls Basketball The girls basketball team was not organized until late in the year and then owing to unforeseen circumstances two of the five games scheduled were cancelled. Yet in spite of these handicaps the girls team consisted of six gallant and excellent players. Alice Voorhees, the captain, developed a wicked hook shot and proved to be a formidable opponent to the unlucky visiting player who tried to guard her. Betty Thompson, the other forward, was invaluable as feeding and at making occasional brilliant shots herself. Virginia Griffing played center, using her high reach to good advantage, and Ida Deihl, always on hand to catch the tip off, proved to be a veritable streak of lightning at cluding the baffled foe. Jean l-lonsberger and Elizabeth Crissey did noble work as guards and made their adversaries work hard for baskets. So runs the line up. Three cheers for the Starkey girl's basketball team and better luck next year!

5hx E. E':::-T-T-'G I ' TEE' -Ku:-77:32 . Q KNXX Af-i,,,. y ? Baseball The team of '27 was one that was composed mostly of green men who knew very little about baseball. YVe were crippled at the start by not having a catcher, but Howard Edwards finally solved this problem and filled the position well for his little experience and knowledge of the science of the game. Boyce and Bradley, two men of experience on the mound, held the Starkey box pretty full, while Radley kept first base from straying far from the diamond. Captain Searles played a fairly uheadyl' game at second, while his brother Burke did likewise on third, for part of the season. Later, I-lankey, captain for '28, played this position, changing with Robinson who then took over shortstop. Davis covered right field, and Corwith center, as he was a demon at catching 'em. This left us in reserve: a pitcher, Chuck Corwith, two outfielders, Burke Searles and Jack Potter, a pinch hitter, Hawthorne Bissell, and a few others to be placed in the game when someone was injured or could not run when he hit. Thus we see that Starkey had a fairly good defensive team. , Starkey fell down in her offensive, not because of head work on the bases, but because of lack of good hitters. She was not wholly destitute of these, however, for Bradley, Radley, Boyce were fairly heavy hitters, while Davis was a good sacrifice hitter and a good man at beating out a bunt. But we do not consider the season a failure, altho we didn't win many games, for we won experience. For a team this year, we have all that can be hoped for. This is a probable lineup: Catcher-Depew Third-Hankey, Captain Pitcher-Boyce, Corwith, Bonner Right Field-Davis, Potter First-Van Orsdale, Radley Center Field-Corwith, Searles Second-Bonner, Radley Left Field-Boyce: Crissey Shortstop-Robinson lklascots-Lamadrid, lVIorrison.
