S. 0 Total Scotland-318 Opponents-218 Getting off to a scrappy start, the Scotland Red Devilettes opened the season with a five game winning streak which seemed to indicate an undefeated season. How- ever, a fighty Lemaster six shattered our hopes by taking a highly contested and ex- citing game on the latter's floor. This loss did not discourage the Devilettes, however. for they were ready to face the remaining opponents with plenty of spirit. At the end of the season the Scotland Devilettes were running first in their league with only two losses to mar their otherwise unblemished record. This success, the best the Schlendwein dribblers had experienced in the last three years, was attributed to the fine cooperation of the team and the relentless and patient attention of Captain Schlindwein.
