GOLD AND WHITE Games St. Vincenfs us. St. Rose UR annual game with St. Vincent's of Vallejo is one to which we all look forward with great interest. This year again, St. Rose walked away with a complete victory-the score being 23 to 7. Our team played a brilliant floor game and the defense worked out equally well. Our opponents played a good game but seemed to be outdone in weight and speed. Hearty cooperation was given by the Student Body. There were over one hundred in our rooting section. Probably the enthusiasm shown by the school enabled the team to accomplish this wonderful victory. Star of the Sea us. St. Rose CIIFHE second game of the season was played with Star of the Sea High School on their court on March 8. This game did not turn out as suc- cessfully as our first did. Star of the Sea defeated us 26 to 8. This was a great disappointment to the school for we had had hopes of success. However. Star of the Sea is undoubtedly a faster, more competent team, and we con- gratulate them on their victory. After the game the St, Rose players were the guests of Star of the Sea for refreshments. Monsignor P. J. Ryan presided and the girls all enjoyed and appreciated this part of the afternoon's program and the good fellowship which prevailed. Miss Burke's us. St. Rose W E played our first game with Miss Burke's School on Thursday, March 14. It was a most interesting contest and many girls from both schools attended. From the start the score was close but the St. Rose team made a spurt that sent them on to victory. The final score was 21 to 18. During the quarters and half we sang some of our songs which greatly added to the enthusiasm and cheered the team on to victory. A vote of thanks should be extended to our swift forwards who raised the score with well aimed baskets, and also to the rest of the players whose hard work and loyal support won the game for us. Sr. Rose us. Star of the Sea HEXOR weeks we had waited for that return game with Star of the Sea. Our Alma Mater had suffered once at their hands-we were determined such should not occur again. The whistle blew! Two eager. well-trained teams took position on the court amid the cheers of the rOOt2rS. The game started! With all their will and might our players passed, shot and guarded-but likewise did the opponents-so when at the end of the half we found ourselves in the lead with a score 3 to 2 we felt quite encouraged. The third and fourth quarters were very hard and it was with much regret that we saw Star of the Sea-with their fine and tricky pass-work creeping ahead. At the end of the game the score was 10 to 5 in their favor. Refreshments were then served to the girls on both teams. Though we had lost the game we showed good sportsmanship and we enjoyed this game as well as any we have played. ' Seventy-three

Goto AND WHITE 1g+m------- GRACE O'CONNOR FRANCES MILLS Rooting Section NDER the management of Grace O'Connor and Frances Mills, yell leaders, an eager and interested rooting section has been formed this year. The enthusiastic cheering of the girls during the various games has incited the school team to greater glory and in a measure has been an incentive for the many victories which it has achieved. Many lively new yells and songs were added to the already numerous collection and various members of the Student Body helped a great deal by making suggestions from time to time. At the first game of the season, St. Rose vs. St. Vincent's, Vallejo, Grace O'Connor and Frances Mills led the rooting section of one hundred, in songs and yells, but later in the term a special set of girls was selected and trained to perform diflicult stunts and sing other songs which added greatly to the interest of all those attending the games.
