The third game of the season was played at Luckey, Dec. 20th Helen Harris and Barbara Sigler played an excellent game on the forward end, and Doris Thornton proved her ability as guard The game was close throughout, but in the fourth quarter, Luckey managed to pull out with a win After the holiday season all the girls seemed to have gained a little confidence and fight from their past ex perience and on Jan lOth they played a real game with North Baltimore, and came out on top by quite a large margin North Baltimore had a fine team of tall, fast girls and so our girls deserved praise for their fine work Helen Harris came through in her usual fine manner but other forwards, Glenna Mae Koch and Barbara showed up so very well that the team looked much better than ever before Audrey Tiplady and Elizabeth Johnson also played an excellent game On Jan 17th, a truly 'bad winter n1ght', the girls went to Cygnet, and it was one of those games when neither team played well but our girls were so much superior to Cygnet, that they won by Bapoints Harris alone scored l6 points Walbridge met Luckey on their home floor, Jan 24th Naomi Sigler then demonstrated her hard work to guard one by fifteen points Lake came to Walbridve on Jan Blst In the first half, the girls played in excellent style, but T1plady's playing was so greatly missed after the 2nd quarter when she foul ed out, that Lake easily took the game . .

A 'GWHL qi tit Carl 'Qrimel Christiansen, junior and guard, Primo began i to hit his stride at the close of the season. With the E valuable experience he has obtained this year we look for- A ward to sec Primo tear up things next season. f Ned CWimpyD Wiley, sophomore and forwards Ned was in- ' eligible the first semester but teamed with Jack Gordon he ' added the needed punch in the offenses One big year ahead for Ned. Joe CTigerJ DeFalco, sophomore and forward. Joe's first year on the varsity saw him in the starting lineup the first semester. Wiley and Gordon teamed so well at forward that Joe was shifted to a guard. He jumped center against Lake when Ace and Bob were out on fouls. This valuable all-around exyeriedce will make Joe a big asset next year. Lawrence CMickeyD Cochran, sophomore and forward, Mickey's drawback was his size but he can shoot and handle tho ball with the best of them. Better eat some spinach during the summer, Mickey. ' John Belcik, sophomore and guard. John was green but eager and showed improvement enough to give the regulars a battle for their positions next season.

J J4,.z ENGL QXSZYIGIIUK 135' DlQ a C'!Yn -'15 45bfe ,-,huh On Feb. llth Clay had a hard fight to net a win from our girls. Tiplady, Johnson, and Sutton played an extra-ordinary good game as guards. I ' Our last game scheduled with Grand Rapids was canceled due to sub-zero weather, so the end of our season came abruptly. The outstanding players throughout the season were Helen Harris, Barbara Sigler, Audrey Tiplady and Elizabeth Johnson. Many others showed up well as beginners and no doubt will be the excellent players in the coming season. WHO'S WHO AMONG THE GOLDEN CUBS Helen.Harris, captain and one of the two seniors on the squad was the leading scorer on the girls' team for the past two seasons. Helen played center and scored an average of more than lO points a game. Her altruistic helpful ways made her one of the most popular players Walbridge has ever had. Helen is the only girl on the squad to be awarded a three year letter. Fern Baker, the other Senior, has seldom missed a practice in the past two seasons and although she has not played as much as some other girls, her faithful spirit is greatly to be commended. Audrey Tiplady, Junior, was a fine defensive player during the past two seasons. She received a two year letter. Her forward always found Audrey right with her and found it difficult to pass or to shoot. Elizabeth Johnson, Junior, was a scrappy player. She play- ed a regular guard position and was usually found doing her share or more to make it interesting for the other team. Pearl Hansen, Junior, served most of the season as a re- serve forward. The experience she has gained this season, should make her a fine prospect next year. Barbara Sigler, Sophomore, was a fine passer and good shot. Opponents will find her hard to stop during the next two seasons. Naomi Sigler, Sophomore, played hard all season and was rewarded with a starting berth in the final three games. Glenna Mae Koch, Sophomore, was speedy and a good shot underneath the basket. With two years to play, Glenna Mae should be a whirlwind. . ga fwnllnsrwsseuuuncl A'wuunmnsx:eununc, -N:uuunc:v4:wnuux., r .. 1936
