Show Sports a la Femme Gym Classes Play Basketball By Aline James In the past few weeks the girls' gym classes have been busy preparing pre-paring to repeat the Christmas assembly as-sembly for the teachers of the city schools. This program was pre- sented last Friday and so now the girls can devote class time to that popular game-: basketball. Those not participating in the dances have had ideal opportunity for practice. Next week class teams will be organized and though basketball will be off to a late start, this season should prove to be very active. The inner-class games should prove to be stiff competition. competi-tion. Junior Stars Both seniors and juniors are going go-ing out strong for basketball this year. Some of the juniors show outstanding floor and hoop skill. Rozanne Hennager is one of the outstanding forwards from the junior class. Dorothy Jeffries, Audrey Au-drey Madsen, Maxine Rino also play a good game. But the seniors with a year's work to look back upon can be surer of foul throws, team plays, judging of distance, etc., because they are up on the rules. La Rue Howell, the star forward and Beverly Barker, an outstanding guard, are both real competition. The Woodward twins can play either position with ease. Marilyn Rasmussen, Betty Jean McMurray, Irene Reynolds and Helen Hunt all hold positions as forwards. And even with an injured in-jured leg Helen is on the floor at every possible opportunity. After intra-period games have been played off the winning teams will then play the after-school tournament. This will be underway under-way in about three or four weeks. Leaders Practice The feminine hoop stars of the season are the members of the Leaders Club. These forty-five girls should prove to be a really promising group as they have been chosen the outstanding girl leaders lead-ers of the school. Lately they have been practicing several nights a week after school and at all other opportunities. These girls will participate in class games but will not be eligible for the inter-class inter-class tournament. They have duties dut-ies more important than playing they will referee and score the games played off. The club has been meeting lately to prepare the girls for this activity. |
