A was played with Clinton score return game the girls redeemed themselves for losing the in whieh first game so badly by a score of 8 to 8, but on playing it off Clinton won, leaving it 10 to8. At Hamilton they lost 6 to 8. Another game was then played at Clinton with a score of 36 to 2. The games ended by the second team playing the Clinton High School second team and having a score of 4 to 4 but losing on the final, 6 to 4.
