'Riff 1 Basket Ball FROM the beginning of St. Gene- vieve's, athletics have played an important part in the lives of the stu- dents. In October, 1908, a fine basket ball court was laid off on the grounds of Hillside Convent. The school was di- vided into the camp of the Spartans, with Janie Jones, of Asheville, as cap- tain, and that of the Athenians, with Ruth Grey, of N. Y., as captain. Many games were played between them, of which the best-remembered was that played for Reverend Mother-General Duval, when she came from the Mother House in Belgium to visit us. Later, with the increasing number of pupils, it was considered advisable to have four teams instead of two. Each team chose a different color which was worn in all games. The pennant, of- fered each year by the Reverend Mother to the basket ball team winning the greatest number of games, was won in 1914 by the Reds, Mary Whitney, of Lexington, Kentucky, being captain. The following year the Greens, under Frances Stanton, of Elkhart, Indiana, carried off the pennant and last year it was the Yellows' turn to be the vic- torious team, with Marguerite Manley, of Asheville, as their leader. At the beginning of the school year of 1916-17 it was decided that each class should have a team with its president for captain. At the end of the first ses- sion this manner of dividing the school was discarded, owing to the inequality of the teams, and the method of forming bands under four different colors was again chosen. The captains were se- lected as follows: Agnes Gibson, of Charleston, S. C., captain of the Reds, ' Anne Williams, of Charlotte, N. C., captain of the Greens Marguerite Manley, of Asheville, N. C., captain of the Yellows. Alice Kohn, of Montgomery, Ala., captain of the Blues At the moment of this writing, the pennant for 1917 is between the Yel- lows and the Greens, both of which have lost only one game this year. Tennis In 1915 it was announced that Rev- erend Mother Lorin, with her usual eagerness to encourage us in out-of- door sports, would offer each year, in- stead of a less valuable prize, a cup to the tennis champion. As soon as the frost disappears, youthful figures in middies and skirts may be seen at all hours from sun-up until sun-down on the tennis courts, getting in practice. Adeline Manning, of Knoxville, Tenn., was the first to win the cup. Last year Margaret Hemphill, of Arden, N. C., was the champion. The most interest- ing part of the tennis tournament is that it is quite uncertain who the two will be to play the deciding game, until a day or so before Field Day, May twenty-first-thus we can give no idea of who the winner will be this year.
