HI PI I Q I THE DAIL Y EXHAUST C - -,,..L- , E ,Eg-1-2 - ,Q If . CL Q f -'U an SPORTS SENIOR GIRLS WINNERS or CLASS TOURNAMENT In a pugnaciously contested competi- tion the Senior girls vanquished the Iuniors by a magnificent score in basket- ball last evening. The Seniors have not played basketball extensively, and in learning the game found the floor hardest of all. The game was close, keeping the players and spectators on their feet every minute. At the end of the third quarter, both teams had 12 points to their credit. However, in the last uarter the Senior girls came back with damages repaired and noses repowdered, determined to win. Although hairpins flew to the right of them, and hairpins flew to the left of them, they never falt- ered, but easily outplayed their oppon- ents with their windmill style of playing. After the game pandemonium reigned, members of the champion team fell upon each other's necks, and amidst hugging and kissing, everybody was happy,-- except the Iuniors and the many boys who were present. DICK LUND OVERCOMES ED. PLATZ IN WRESTLING MATCH By taking two out of three falls from Ed. Platz, Dick Lund became the feather-weight wrestling champion of the world. The match was a-catch-as-you- can affair, and Lund showed himself a master of this style of fighting, having caught everything from a cold, to a greased pig at a country fair. SWIMMING MATCH POSTPONED The date of the annual swimming 101 match to be held by the Racine High School has been postponed because of the condition of the lake. A crew of em- ployees of the park board has been busy towing ice bergs out of the course, and as soon as this work is completed, a date will be set for the meet. The Daily Ex- hauft wishes to announce that tin loving cups will be given to the winners of the events. KID WELSH IS AGAIN WINNER IN BOUT DEFEATS BATTLING SWINGLE WHo PUTS UP A Gooo BATTLE. Before a packed house last night, Kid Welsh showed himself Qwhen he knocked out Battling Swingle in the sixthj to be still the paper-weight-champion of the world. In the first five terrific rounds the two fighters inflicted more damage upon themselves than on each other. They both displayed great ring generalship. However, in the sixth round, Welsh feinted with his right, whereupon Swingle fainted from fright, and remained down for the count of ten. The capacity crowd of 25 people who witnessed the affair seemed satisfIed with the result. is l ,ff X. K A A. W 'Xi 1 gm: mt, Z lp '45,
