G IRLS LOSE TO W O O D BURN
On last S atu rd ay evening our g irls ’ basketball team ,
accom panied by S u p erin ten d en t and M rs. H all and
several other backers and basketball en th u siasts, braved
the snow storm and drove to W oodburn w here our girls
m et and were defeated by the hig h school girls 24 to 18.
W h eth er ou r girls were cold or not from the drive
we do not know , but at any rate it took them till th e
second half to locate the basket, th o u g h th eir passing
w as su p erio r to th at of W o o d b u rn ’s.
K lam p, a left-handed forw ard for W oodburn, was a
slicker when it came to shooting baskets and very
seldom missed. She made all of W o o d b u rn ’s 24 points,
th o u g h it was by no m eans a one-m an team , for the
o th e r five were fast and good passers.
In the second half our team got into the gam e with
th e w histle and did not stan d around and wait for
W oodburn to lead, and all but overcam e the big lead
th a t the h ig h school girls rolled up in the first half.
G irls, rem em ber, th a t gam es are won in th e first
half as well as in th e second and to win you m ust play
hard all th ro u g h the gam e.
T h o u g h th e team did not w in it was a m ost enjoyable
trip and ended up most happily, for on th eir re tu rn
hom e M r. an d Mrs. H all took the p a rty unto th eir
hom e and served a m ost delicious lunch.
