THE STEWARD BRYN MAVVR February 20 VV e faced Bryn Mawr in our third game of the season. Tension played an important role in the game because a cup is traditionally awarded to the winners. In general the game was fast and rough, with Bryn Mawr proving to be slightly the better team. St. Tim's gave them a tough battle for the cup, though, and the scores were never very far apart. Lisa Bailey and Ianie Choate scored baskets both from the center of the court and from right under the basket in attempts to elude the opponents. As fast as we evened up the score, they pulled away, the only time we were able to edge ahead was once in the last quarter, and that was due to the large number of foul shots. By this point in the game, and the spectators were ready to begin play- ing theinselves, and the cheering drowned out the referees' whistles. VV hen the referees succeeded in gaining control again, we had to substitute forward Cornie Gerry as a guard, because all the others had fouled out. The game was ex- ceedingly fast and well fought, and the guards should be congratulated on their success in intercepting and fighting for the ball, which held down Bryn Mawr's scoring. How- ever, Bryn Mawr won by a close 39 to 36. The closeness of the score and the outstanding playing of our team made the game almost a victory in the minds of our players and certainly made them more determined to regain the cup next year. OLDFIELDS March 2 Our game against Oldfields was held on a Monday be- cause of the Sixes' trip to Richmond, but thanks to that trip, most of the team escaped Hu except Lisa Bailey who was replaced by Lanse Rowan. Oldfields brought no spec- tators because of the outbreak of Hu here, and thus had no cheering section to spur them on. Surprisingly enough, the game was smoothly played and there were only a few fouls, in contrast to former games. The players were relaxed, but on their toes, and the combination made the game a steady one. Margie Thouron was especially notable for the num- ber of baskets she made, and the grace and skill she dis- played in shooting and jumping up to get the ball. Lanse Rowan and Ianie Choate also played steady, consistent games and the forwards were well coordinated. The guards were also working well as a team and Babs Currier constantly surprised Oldtields' forwards by unex- pectedly stealing the ball from them. Mary Bocock also kept leaping into the air to snare the ball and frustrate their forwards. In the last quarter, Mary Bocock exchanged positions with Lanse Rowan, who played well as a guard, too. The score at the half was 21-9 and at the end 45-14, in favor of St. Tim's. Oldfields was certainly a game opponent. Sixty-three GARRISON FOREST March 6 The climax of our basketball season was our game with Garrison Forest. Our varsity had been quite handicapped during the preceding week owing to the flu, but they were all present to start, except Lisa Bailey, whose place was taken by Lanse Rowan. Ianie Choate had sprained her ankle slightly, but started the game anyway. Our team began bravely by making a basket in the first seconds of the game, but then Garrison pulled ahead. Margo Langen- berg soon relieved Ianie Choate, who went out to rest her ankle. By the half, we had regained lost ground and the score was 16-16 after three baskets skillfully scored by Margie Thouron and five by Lanse Rowan. At the oppo- site end of the court, Amy Chapin and Priscilla VVork replaced Babs Currier and Polly Bartholomew, but Car- rison's forwards were quite tall and executed excellent pass- ing. All the guards, especially Mary Bocock, performed magnificently, intercepting passes and tying the ball, time after time. In the third quarter, St. Tim's again dropped almost ten points behind. Then Ianie Choate came in again and the forwards went to town. Lanse Rowan scored fourteen points in the last half, bringing her total up to twenty points for the game and tying the score. Finally, in the last few seconds of the game she scored a foul shot that won the game for us, 42-41. This expertly played game was a fitting climax to a very successful basketball season. JUNIOR VARSITY The Iunior Varsity also had a successful season. Lcd by Captain Alloc Enos, they played three games and won three games. The Erst was against Roland Park. The second one, against Friends, was characterized by good passing, intercepting and jumping by both forwards and guards, especially Alloe Enos, Lowell Belin, and Cornie Gerry. The score was 23-20. In the last game, against Oldtields, the final score was a close 27-25. The whole team played well together, and the passing was excellent, especially by Patty Ilurlbut. The I.V. this year brought themselves well-earned glory.
