M PTl11.ETlIZ'jIl l Ice A W Q ee Girls' Basketball After defeating all of the teams in Orange County, Santa Ana was matched against Orange in the finals for the champion- ship of the county league. The game was played on the Santa Ana courts and the most notable feature of it was the rough play- ing of Orange. Santa Ana won by outclassing Orange in every particular of the game. The next game played was on the home court against River- side. The game Was one-sided from beginning to end, Santa Ana winning by the score of 29 to 6. Our girls met the Girls' Collegiate Team at Los Angeles in one of the closest and best games of the year. The Collegiate girls played a very scientific game, their team-work being perfect. Santa Ana played a more direct, less complicated game, and the final score stood 16 to 6 in favor of Santa Ana. The next day after the Collegiate game the girls went to Claremont and met their only defeat. The game was played in- doors and only five players used instead of the regular six. Not- withstanding these disadvantages our team played the college girls a fast, exciting game. In fact Santa Ana lead up to the last minute of play, except when the score was tied, which occured seven times during the game. Score, Pomona 21, Santa Ana 20. In the semi-finals, Santa Ana was matched against On- tario High, the champions of the Citrus Belt League. The game was played at Ontario and Santa Ana Won. The Ontario delega- tion lacked the true sporting spirit and disputed the decisions of the referee, but at the close of the second half the score stood 22 to '6 in favor of Santa Ana.

28 THE ARIEL After winning the semi-finals against Ontario, Santa Ana was scheduled to meet Alhambra for the championship of South- ern California March 7, but on account of Miss Yoch spraining her ankle, the game was postponed to March 14. The game was played on the U. S. C. court. Alhambra's players were tall, but they lacked team work, quickness and accuracy. During the first Santa Ana out-played their opponents in every phase of the game. In the second and third Alhambra took a brace and played hard, but they weakened in the last, our team winning easily 45 to 11. Our girls are now the Champion High School Basketball Team in Southern California. Good luck to them in the future. Track The Southern California Interscholastic Track Meet, held at Pomona April 18, closed a very successful season for Santa Ana High. From the beginning much interest Was shown in the work and under the direction of Coach Noble a good, Well balanced team was developed. In the sprints, hurdles, broad jump and long distance runs, We were particularly strong. Among all our good men Clarence Tedford Was certainly the individual star, as he has records of 10.2 in the hundred, 22.4 in the two-twenty, and 21 ft. 4 in. in the broad jump. Tedford ranks as second best in Southern California in the broad jump. Of the others Pumphreys and Whitney have done exceed- ingly well. In both the sprints and the broad Pumphreys isa close second to Tedford, while in the hurdles Whitney is in a class by himself. He has beaten everyone he has been up against this year and ran both the low and high hurdles in fine form and fast time. In the long distance runs Dill, McGee, A. Mansur and C. Mansur have broken all previous S. A. H. S. records. Following are the results of the County Meet and the scores of the others in brief: 120 Yard Hurdles-Won by Dill, S. A.g second, Kelly, O., third, Adams, S. A. Time 17.3. 100 Yard Dash-Won by Tedford, S. A., second, Pumphreys, S. A., third, Kelly, O. Time 10.3.
