The Normal tain waa a little over confident, while the Grants Pass players bad Increased their efficiency slnoe the previous game, which is the explanation of trie result. " Commenting upon the basket ball gim which the Grants Pssa High i school played with the Ashland Nor-' mal team, on Thanksgiving day, the Tidings says: "The contest between the Grants Pass High School girls and the Normal girls was tlia main feature of the evening. The visiting girls put up a Jvery pretty game, es pecially at forward where several clever plays were made. The home girls have beeu'working hard for two months fast and they held together well in team work and at the goals, playing a fast, open game. Smith and Eastman at forward assisted by Stewart managed to cage the hall quite regularly. Sherwood, Loosely and Benson are all new playi rs. but tey went into the game like veter ans. The normal won with a score of 19 to 7. The game was played under girl's rules which tended to make the plays more open and remove some of the roughness that is apt to occur .
