Of the ten girls in high school, eight took an active part. Later, because of too few girls, the two eighth grade girls joined the team, making eleven in all. The girls on the team were: Anna Mae Flint, Elizabeth Sheff, Donna Williams, Jo Anna Howard, Elnor Rice, Barbara Male, Eloise Jarvis, Marilyn Forbes, Beverly Metzgar, and Beverly Rogerd. On November 24, after just a few days of practise, the team journeyed to Umaplne to play its first game. The girls were excited and d1dn't think they had much chance of winning, with so little practise. After arriving there, the Umapine girls said they hadn't had much practise, either, so that gave the Ukiah girls a little more confidence in themselves. It was a fast game, with both teams playing hard, but Ukiah emerged victorious. Umapine came here to play the team a return game on Dec- ember 5. The game was much the same as the first one, except that both teams had more practise. Umapine won this game. On March 9, Ukiah played the Long Creek girls on their floor. The team had bright hopes and played hard, but were defeated 28 to 38. It is their hope to be able to play more games next year. Since they won't lose any girls through graduation, they feel that they should have a better team.

Z 7am The 'Ukiah Cougars' made a fifty percent record this year winning nine, and losing nine games. The game average was thiry points. Nine games were played on the home floor and nine games on the opponents' floor. There were three close games during the Season, in two of which Ukiah came out victorious. The first one being with Pilot Rock on the home floor. The 'Cougars' grabbed an early lead, but fell off in the last period. Fortunately the horn blew while the 'Cougars' were two points ahead,' The final score was 19 to 17. The remaining two games, with two points difference in both scores, were with St. Joseph and Pendleton Jr. High. The 'Cougars' lost to St. Joseph, 56 to 34, but edged out the lat- ter team 47 to 45. The Cougar second string lost most of its games because of inexperienced players. These players will be valuable in the 1949-50 basketball season. We are proud to say that the record ef the 1948-49 bas- ketball team was better than those of several previous years.
