They have already played six games of 'basket-ball this season and have won them all danclily, nor were the teams what are ordinarily called snaps for most of them had been very successful the year before. A great deal of the success of the girls in basket-ball this year has been due to the very efficient coaching of Mr. Hiram Scholes, who took charge of a number of inexperienced players and made the team what it now is. Most of last year's team was not in school this year, and consequently only raw material was available for some of the posit- ions, and yet this year's team is markedly superior to that of last. The forwards, Elsie Parker and Agnes Yoch play together like machinery. Neither works for individual glory but for the good of the team, and itiis this team-work that is responsible for the large scores run up. Both forwards are quick and aggressive and usually in the right place at the right time. Miss Parker is relied upon for free throws and she has certainly at wonderful ability in that line.

. ARIEL March 10, the crack Redlands High School base-ball team tasted defeat on our home grounds. Caruthers, diving over the Redlands catcher in the tenth inning as he was catching the ball, lit on the plate, and scored the only run on either side. With the exception of a series of three games between the two lower and two upper classes, in which the upper classmen were victorious, there were no more games until April 14, when the local High School team wiped up the earth with the Occidental College aggregation, defeating them six to one. Individual mention would be superfluous. Each member has performed his duty and worked for the team rather than for individ- ual glory and that largely accounts for the success. We hope to win the Southern California championship again this year as well as last, and if hard practice will do it we shall certainly succeed. f Q 3 .sans TENNIS aww.: Considerable interest has been aroused in tennis among the girls since the beginning of the quarter, and a close doubles tourna- ment has already been completed.

ARIEL In the last game, that with Occidental College, she scored six goals out of eight free-throws, missing the other two byavery small margin. Miss Yoch is noted for her cool nerve and steadi- ness in a game. Miss Katie Lutz at center has always distinguished herself by her alertness. She has played all around most of her op- ponents and has never failed to hold her own against them. Although small and light, her speed and aggressiveness have enabled her to out-play most of her opponents. The work of the two guards, Misses Caroline Yoch and Bertha Whitehead. is always to be commended. In their positions good plays are not Very noticeable but the small number of chances they have given the opposing forwards for scoring speaks Volumes for their playing. Both are big, strong, and fearless, and as fast as most smaller players Great credit is due the substitutes who, while having little opportunity for playing in the games, have practiced diligently with the rest of the squad. Miss Norman, on the one opportunity she had to play, showed herself to be little interior to the regular forwards. At center Miss Conwell played a thoroughly reliable game, and showed that she was able to take care of most of the opponents whom she might meet on the basket-ball court. The two sub-guards, Miss Leslie Roberts and Miss Frances Condor, have distinguished themselves by their alertness and aggressive- ness. Better substitutes could hn-rdly be desired. The girls have been fortunate in obtaining the services of Miss Head as umpirej She has always been square with both sides and proven highly satisfactory. n Following isa list of the games played, with their results:-- Jan. 20, at Santa Ana-Glendale 13, Santa Ana 29.
