GIRLS BA SKET BALL During the Basket Ball season, the girls scored 266 points in 10 games, against 135 points scored by our op- ponents. We won the Championship of Eastern Colorado by doubling the score on the Flagler girls. This means that we again have in our possession the three-year loving cup, which was merely loaned to Burlington last year and we fully intend that it shall remain in our pos- ession, We also have a permanent cup which was pre- sented to us by the Lowe Kr Campbell, Sporting Goods Company. The scores for the en-tire season were: Simla Town Simla Alta Vista Simla Hugo Simla Limon Simla Calhan Simla Hugo Simla Calhan Simla Flagler Simla Manitou From the beginning of the year great interest was taken in the game and although we were handicapped at first by the lack of second team players, we made the best of the situation and soon had an abundance of players out. l Phyllis Shiprran, our fleet and diminutive forward, was a whizz in shooting both field goals and free throws. She distinguished herself onthe free throw line in the Championship game by caging 15 out of 18 free throws. She scored 107 points during the season. Thelma Barnhill played an excellent game at all times. Her rare judgment in calling formations was responsible again and again for our securing the first basket--which fact alwais put the proper pep and confidence into the team. 120 points were scored by her. Our centers, Myrtle Mrody and Della Hanmel were ina class by themselves. Their wonderful passing ability and perfect understanding of the science of the game vias nothing short of phenomenal.

Marjorie Van Lopik, Captain and guard, with Lucille Magruder as guard, were a combination hard to beat. Both were fast, heady players, and any forward scoring field goals on these two, is worthy of note. They were able to decipher and break up instantly any style of play a forward might use. Winifred Thierfelder, sub-forward can rightfully be- hailed as steady and true. At any time called upon she could be counted on for her usual number of scores. Grace Bowers, sub-guard, while she played an entire- ly different style of game from our regular guards, was a powerful player and was particularly good in breaking up all overhead plays. . Juanita ,Hefley, second team forward, was substitu- ted with the first team occasionally, and played a fast and accurate game, scoring 12 points for the team, , The team was well supported by the High St-hool and townspeople, which did much towards encouraging the team to play its best. , Our-second team, composed of Fern Virden. Melva Hurst, Helen Carter, Juanita Hefley, Gwendolyn Thier- felder, Hildreth Eddy, and Maye Tipton, gave us good practice, and without their loyal support we could never have won the games we did. H Our coach, Miss Boyd, was always awilling and ready helper and with her care and instruction. three Champ- ionship Teams have been made in the past four years. a , ly i - 'r L'E r f T X , .
