Show Baseball Girls. (BASKETBALL ,ASEBALL is one of the most popular spring sports sponsored by the Women's Athletic Association. It occupied the major portion of interest during the spring quarter, as more girls entered this field than any other. A round robin class tournament was held during the ninth and tenth weeks of the quarter and the winner was decided on the basis of the percentage of games won. The Sophomores produced one of the strongest teams in the race. The Freshmen had the next strongest team while the Juniors and Seniors vied for third place. One hundred W. A .A. points were given to girls completing eight practice hours of baseball and participation in at least one tournament game. About forty girls received this credit in the W. A. A. CLASS (BASKETBALL GLASS basketball games were the climax of the basketball season during the winter quarter. Under the supervision of Eva Hancock, general basketball manager, a round robbin tournament was held in which all four classes entered a team. Managers were then appointed for each class, whose duty it was to select and coach their respective teams. Bernice Moss was made Senior manager, Olive Woolley the Junior, Leona Holbrook the Sophomore, and Phyllis Huss the Freshman. All of these girls had had previous basketball experience and knew the game. The winners of the tournament were decided on a percentage basis, marked up after each class had played three games. The Freshman team eventually won out, taking all their games by handy scores, while the Sophomores took all but one game for second place. The Juniors and Seniors came third and fourth respectively. Among the individual stars Blendda Newlin of the Freshmen must be ranked first, her excellent playing as jumping center being outstanding. Phyllis Huss also of the Freshmen, shown almost equally well, her sharpshooting placing about ninety per cent of the baskets. The Sophomores functioned so well as a team that no shining stars can be picked, while there were no exceptional players among the upperclassmen, with the possible exception of Olive Woolley of the Junior team. «i«l«i® -*ie:iKK8>Ear*i*i:cii«i0ieif<iei«i«i«i«)!eiK [233] |
