Z6 Two weeks later we went to Blacksburg where we met with a great sur- prise, being defeated by them 26 to 5. Our team was in a bad condition and was handicapped by the size of the floor. None of the team played up to the standard. Holt starred for Blacksburg High by her accurate shooting, scor- ing 24 of the 26 points. This was the most successful season the Girls' Basket-ball Team has ever experienced. We won four out of five games, defeating two teams that were never defeated before, Blacksburg and Marion. We owe our success largely to the excellent coaching of Mr. Meissner, to whom we wish to express our sincerest appreciation. xii nf, -X -gf' r fn ' T. :ly ous ff: - ,l fr f, 4 f A Captain Meadows slipped on the gym Hoor and we feared the wreckage of the building.
