- . 0 v Wbztehall Hugh School T H E C R Y S T A L Nineteen Tbzrty-one Girls' Spring Afhlefics UE to the unusual success of the Girls' Indoor-Outdoor Baseball season and the fine show- ing of the Whitehall Highschool track squad, it was deemed wise to devote one of these last pages of the 1951 Crystal to its recapitulation. Whitehall opened its season by meeting its transitional rival across the river and after an orgy of running that made the contest look like a track meet, the local lassies emerged on the long end of a 33-32 count. Whitehall's fielding was ragged but the local girls hit the ball with a vengeance. With the score tied and two out, Grayce Kinsey knocked a home run in the final inning that proved the winning run. In the next contest Ravenna came to Whitehall to present its claim to the county associ- ation title. Whitehall could do little with Ravenna's pitching in the early frames but finally found its batting eyes to down Ravenna 17-13 in a game that was close throughout. The local team travelled to Holton to win its third victory. Ann Brightwell's pitching baffled the Holton batters while her team mates were collecting and massing base hits and Whitehall came out on the end of a 15-4 count. The second Montague game was looked forward to keenly because of the close game in the opening encounter. Coach Holmes had her team keyed up for the event and no sooner was the first inning under way than base hits began bombarding from the Whitehall bats like shells on a besieged fortress! When the din of battle had subsided, Whitehall emerged the victory -- 45-ll. The home game with Holton was the fastest of the year. Whitehall scored eight runs in the first three innings but could. do little with the offerings of the Holton pitcher, the rest of the game. Whitehall won 11-3 to ring up its fifth consecutive victory. The second Ravenna game and the final one of the year was played as a climax to the track and field meet at Ravenna. The game was an important one in that a Ravenna victory would mean a tie for the championship in the county league. Fear of losing, however, was soon al- layed as the Whitehall girls plied their bats to say it with base hits. Again Ann Brightwell kept the opponents hits scattered while her teammates piled up an impressive lead. The Red and White won 27-9 to keep its slate for the season clean. Not only did the local lassies emerge from their 1931 season undefeated but for the second consecutive year they have copped the County League bunting. It is also a significant fact that of the squad of thirteen, Coach Holmes will lose but one through graduation. The batteries for all the games of the season were Ann and Norine Brightwell. Infiielders included Grayce Kin- sey and Kathleen Walter at first, Vera Havlik at second, Edith DeWitt and Lucile Pray at third and Captain Holly Fechner, Alice DeWitt and Jeanette Funnell at the shortstop posi- tions. In the outfield Arlyne Schneider, Ruth Perkins, Myrtle Johnson, and Harriet Snyder played. The team should be even more formidable next year than the past two seasons. - In the Spring Track Meet at Ravenna the girls amassed nineteen of Whitehall's forty-two points. In the fifty-yard dash Ann Brightwell beat Hunt and Dahl to take first place. In the high jump Kathleen Walter broke a county record when she cleared four feet three and a quarter inches to win first place. Alice De Witt trailed Sikkenga of Montague closely to take third place in this event. In the girls' broad jump and the baseball throw Ann Brightwell and Gertrude Smith of Montague played a neat Gaston and Alphonso stunt. Ann beat Gertrude in the broad jump when she cleared six feet eleven inches but Gertrude took first and Ann second in the baseball throw. Much credit is due Coach Holmes for the fighting of her teams. Page Fifty-seven
