Girls' Washer 365111 HE girls of Pendleton High School produced a winning basketball team this year. Considering that the girls didn't have a team last year, the fact that they won this year the majority of the games played, is quite remarkable. The team was made up of new material entirely with the excep- tion of the two letter girls, Mildred Rogers and Alberta McMonies, who played jumping center and guard on the team this year and also in their Sophomore year. Marie Fletcher as guard, Mary Clarke and Jane Cheney as forwards, and Irva Dale as side center, composed the rest of the team. The subs were Catherine McNary, forwardg Ruth Minnis, guard, and Emily Dohnert, side center. The first game of the season played with Hermiston on January 21 was an easy game with Pendleton winning by a score of 31 to 2. The next game was played with LaGrande at LaGrande on January 29. The girls were defeated in a fast game by a score of 36 to 24. In the third quarter of the game, LaGrande tried her subs for about one minute but found that it was impossible to hold her own against Pendleton unless she used her best material. The next game played at The Dalles on February 11, was slow and was not a clean cut game as the LaGrande game was. The score was 12 to 14 in favor of The Dalles. No substitutions were made by Pendleton. f12o1

The following week Baker and P. H. S. 1nixed on the localis floor before a record crowd. After getting away to a back start in the first half, Pendle- ton came back and scored a decisive 47 to 33 score, Hanley and Stendal each scoring 14 points. Kramer accounted for 13 points via the foul route and scored a field basket. Lawrence and Cahill each rang a counter. On Saturday night lack of co-operation and too many long shots by Stendal let a cinched championship go glimmering into a tie with Baker. Coach Dewey's quintet fought hard and deserved the victory for only occasionally did the Green and Gold display their real form. On such occasions they scored as they pleased. A few bad breaks in the last two minutes of play permitted the Baker boys to win 31 to 27. On the following Friday the boys left on their trip to Hood River. Handi- capped by the loss of Stendal the team broke even on the trip. At The Dalles the Green and Gold romped away with a 38 to 16 victory, Hanley at forward scoring 20 points. At Hood River the boys ran into some home -town officiating and lost 25 to 22. A total of 35 fouls were called on Pendleton and even Hood River people, indignant at the exhibition of officiating, recognized the respective merits of the two teams. As a result of the State Board 's ruling that sixteen P. H. S. athletes were placed on the suspended list for thirty days because they received gold foot- balls from the Rotary Club, P. H. S. was forced to cancel the LaGrande games. ln the meantime Coach Hanley worked night and day to get a team ready to meet The Dall-es. Building a team around but one experienced man the Pendleton men turned out a team that defeated The Dalles in a return game here February 25 by a 23 to 20 score. Although greatly outweighed by their older and more experienced opponents, the local youngsters out- played and outpassed the visiting team. Captain Henderson and Holmgren starred.

Laflrande returned to Pendleton en February 18. The game was the fastest. ol' the season and the most thrilling. The score was tied several times. The final score was 27 to 26 i11 favor of P. II, S. LaGrande played a sub side center in the last half of the game on account of exhaustion. Pendleton played straight first team, and holds the l1o11or of being' the only team which defeated LaGrande who won the championship of Eastern Oregon. The return game played with The Dalles on Februa.ry 25 at Pendleton was an easy victory for P. H. S., the score being I-S1 to 14. Mary Ularke, Alberta MeMonies and Mildred Rogers graduate in June, but the three first team girls who remain, with the subs, who have also had the advantage of Miss Hansen 's excellent coaching this year although they have not played in any games, will make a team which the school feels will carry on the splendid record made by the girls' basketball team this year.
