As it is, to dovetail sufficient time for practice for both teams has been a problem. But in spite of that handicap, Wayland is proud of the records made this season. Winning four of its six games, the girls, baslcetball team closed a success- ful and highly commendable season on March 4th. The first and third games were played against Winnebago Lutheran l'ligh School, of fond du Lac. They proved to be stiff competitors for they had been trained in boys' rules. Une-half of the games were played with boys' rules, the other half with girls' rules, Even with this handicap, Wayland topped Winnebago, Q7-90, and Q8-9. Qur second and fourth games resulted in defeats by the Milwaul4ee Lutheran l-ligh School, The scores were QQ-26, and T8-26. So far as we l4now, never before in history have the Academy girls played College girls. This year Page 54 it was done most successfully. Qur first game with a colle e resulted in Wayland slcilfully defeating Beloit Eollege girls, 35-30. Qur final game of the season was against Ripon College. Again we were victorious, winning 48-34.
