Jimmy Wilson is again t ly ing to convince his Chicago Na tionals that they can make the pull into the first division this year, after several unsuccessful seasons. Cascades Win The Cascade hockey team clashed its way down the field to a 9-2 victory Saturday morning. The mud was slung- for an hour ' .and a half as the teams battled for scores on the slippery field. The Cascade all-star center. Bev Goetz, worked some beautiful forward line plays with Janet Woodruff, the speediest of speedy inners, and the right wing flash, Marianne Blenkinsop. Of course, it was known before the starting whistle blew which team would take the lead. Hockey is a sure cinch for the Cascade team when the opposing team is the Ever greens, But when it comes to basket ball . . . last winter the former team took a terrific beating from the Evergreens. Confidence has overcome the team once more on winning' in hockey and a rumbred challenge has come up for a game of softball. Although the two groups were formed as hockey clubs, one is apt to get out of con dition between seasons and there fore a seasonal sport is taken up. To mention the score once more, 9-2, in favor of the Cascades, By PHYLLIS LLOYD Kappa Alpha Theta came out victorious yesterday afternoon after a close battle with the Al pha Chi O's. The final score was 12-8. It was one of the most colorful games in respect to the costumes worn on the field. The brightest and gayest colors were displayed by the girls of both houses. Elaine Wilson' an Alpha Chi O lass, wore an immense red and green plaid shirt, and besides k .-I The annual picnic for all g I PE majors, sponsored by the J 1 Physical Education club, will | he liekl Wednesday, May 5. | The excursion is to leave | from the steps of Gerlinger at 3 p.m. having the most outstanding cos tume, Elaine was also a hard hitter. Her run was the first score to be chalked up for the losing- team. McCandless of the same house helped the team out flay sprinting' like a track star to beat the baseman by fractions of h second. Martha Hock, pitcher for the Thetas kept the hits down to a minimum. The team has been practicing regularly enough as can be seen from the ease and the efficiency in handling the ball. There are still a lot of errors made by all the teams. If the errors of the fielders wished to be ignored, there have been about six home runs or six scores made by various teams on errors of the fielders. An equally as close game was that of AOPis vs. Susan Camp bell hall. At the end of the fifth ‘inning the score book read 11 to 7 in favor of the hall ten. This softball season is drawing to a close and it is advised that the WAA softball managers of each house check up on the games and practices of each girl.

Pi Kappa Al feited contest from Phi Psi, and Kappa Sigma continued its un beaten strgak as Phi Kappa Al pha failed to appear. The Beta, Phi Psi tiff was cancelled entire ly as both squads failed to make the field in time for the game. Forquet Stingy Paul Forquet was in rare form yesterday as he let down the Omega Gamma club with four hits and no runs.
