CLASS BASKETBALL. Basketball has been very interesting dur- ing the past season even among those girls wI1o were not included within the first team. Class teams were organized and practice begun early in October. There was one team formed from both the senior and the junior classes and two from 'the sophomore class. Most members of the senior and junior teams had had practice for one or two years pre- viously and entered the work with en- thusiasm. After a few weeks, a spirited contest was for selecting first and second teams. This trying out was conducted according to the point system so that in a given number of practice games, the girl in each position getting the highest number of points was selected for playing that position on the first team. This was necessary since there was so little difference in the abiltiy cf some of the players. The first and second teams were chosen almost entirely from the junior and senior teams. The Sophomore teams continued their practice during the entire season. During the latter half of the season the Manager arranged fcr a series of inter-class games to be played. Double header games were to be played by both girls and boys teams at intervals of one or two weeks. While The girls developed some skill in the game and were very faithful in studying rule books and in practice. There is some excellent material among these teams from which to select next year's teams.
