This is the last season of interscholastic basket ball for the girls. Many people have watched with much interest all of the girls games. They have been glad to see the fight that the girls can show against some other team. Since there will be no interscholastic basket ball next year, 1 am sure we’ll enjoy the inter-class games. We have all enjoyed girls’ basket ball. We’re especially proud of the team of 1930-31.

She plays running center, and if you don’t think she’s plenty fast, just ask someone who has played against her. “Burkie” has played on the first team for three years, and substituted during her first year in high school. PEARL BENDEL—“Bendel” has played jumping center on the first team during all of her four years in high school. “Bendel’s” height has made her a competent player for her position. EVELYN SEVERUD—“Sevie,” our blonde forward, is the other senior on the team. Evelyn has played on the first team this year, and during her other years in high school she has substituted. “Ev” substitutes at jumping center at times, and she’s a crack shot at free throws. FRIEDA PETERSON—Our little brunette forward, is a junior. This is her first year on the first team, but for two years she has been on the second team. Frieda, because of her size, can easily keep away from her guard, thus aiding the system of passes between the forwards. LELAH PETERSON—Is another junior. She plays guard. This is her first year on the first team, but she has played two years as a substitute. Lelah’s guarding is strong enough to prevent the opponents from piling up a very large score. LENA RISLOVE—Our other guard, is the only sophomore on the team. This is her first year of basket ball. Lena certainly can keep her forward well guarded. CLARICE LARSON and EDYTHE IVERSON—Both have done enough work in substituting to earn a letter. They are both sophomores, and this is their first year of basket ball.

Julsrud Girls’ Basketball G IRLS’ BASKET ball has been a great success the past season. We are proud to say that Rushford has one of the best teams in southeastern Minnesota. They have the highest percentage of any team in this district, 900' ». Out of ten district games and three extra games played, the girls lost but one game, and that by one point. Throughout the season they continually outplayed and outscored their opponents. Rushford, during the season, scored 392 points against their opponents’ 274. Miss Van Ornum has been coaching the girls for the past four years. She deserves much credit for the good record that the team has made. A good coach is a necessity for a good team, and everyone is pleased with the work of Miss Van Ornum. One of the most exciting games of the season was played at Preston. The score was very close throughout the game, neither team at any time having a very large lead. The lead was never in the hands of either team for a very long time. When the final whistle blew, Rushford won by one point, 22 to 21. Rushford had previously defeated the Preston girls in two games. The game played at Spring Grove proved to be the best and the most exciting game that the girls have played. After lagging behind, with the score at 23 to 10 at the end of the half, the Rushford girls put up a stiff battle and won by the score of 37 to 35. There is no need to say how the girls felt when this game was over. The team, fully deserves all the credit given to it. They practiced continually and worked hard. They learned the value of team work, and its advantages over a “one man team.” Net only is girls’ basket ball a good physical exercise, but it creates a feeling j'il.11! llll {lll |ll| ill| |||| ||||«i||l«p|| !| ||«i'i, |»i|«|ii|Bin[ii i i o i ' ■ iiiiaitiiamiamiBir iilaTiralif■liilB(iilBliilBiiilBliiia -ilBUiT7iiiiHijiiBiii;aiiiiB!i:.£ 1 • • 1 ■TiitaTiifatiitatiifa! tlalaliilatiitatiitatiilatfitaliitataitatiilatiita [ PAGE TWENTY-SIX 1
