--2--THE CARDIISIAL'-4 INTER-CLASS ATHLETICS INDOOR BASEBALL Early in the school year each class organized a baseball team. A schedule in which each team met every other in the league was played. The standings show that the Juniors and Freshmen were tied for the championship. BASKETBALL To give the new coach, Mr. Harper, some idea of his material for the varsity squad a class tournament was held in this sport. In the first round games the Seniors nosed out the Sophs in a hotly contested game, while the Frosh had little trouble in disposing of the Juniors. In the finals the Sophomores drubbed the Juniors for third place. The Fresh- men and Seniors staged a great defensive game, the first year men finally winning, Freshmen, 105 Seniors, 4 fChampionshipj. Sophomores, 393 Juniors, 10 fThird placej. TRACK Plans have been laid to conduct a class track and field meet March 27. All classes claim to be potential champions. GIRLS' BASKETBALL . The girls started basketball practice late in the fall. They played two evenings a week. BEYOND ALL THINGS He played the game - What finer epitaph can stand? Or who can earn a fairer fame When Time at last has called his hand? Regardless of the mocking roar, Regardless of the final score, To fight it out, raw blow for blow, Until your time has come to go On out beyond all praise or blame, Bevond the twilight's purple glow, Where Fate can write against your name This closing line for friend or foe: He played the game. He played the game - What more is there that one can say? What other word might add acclaim To this lone phrase that rules the fray? Regardless of the breaks of chance, Regardless of all circumstance, To rise above the whims of Fate, VVhere dreams at times are desolate, NVhere failure seems your final aim And Disappointment is your mate, Where Life can write in words of Flame This closing line above the gate: He played the game.
