Girls’ 125-pound Basketball Team With the opening of the 1923 season of basketball a new team appeared on the field of athletics. It was the 125-pound team composed of the fast lightweight girls who came out for the sport. Because of its newness the girls were able to schedule only three games, two with San Mateo and one with San Jose. The first game of the season was at San Mateo and the girls put up a fine fight but lost the game. Next they played San Jose. ‘They had no idea of the strength of the San Jose girls, so went into the game hoping for the best. At last their practice showed up. For the first time the weight girls had the feeling of winning a game with an outside school. The third and last game was with San Mateo in Richmond. ‘The girls were confident of victory because they had had continuous practice since their last victory and so hoped to win the game. Again the girls came out with the long end of the score. The wish of the girls’ hearts came true. It was voted at the student body meet- ing to award the small R’s to the girls who put up such a good fight.
