Two were won, two tied and two lost. Members of the team were Mary Kannapell, captain; Margaret kson, manager; Doroth Cldrk, he Ozbun, Fern Newton, Emma ary Dobson and Lucile Du Idy Sandberg, ) Bose. Two_intercollegiate tennis matches no exception. The team took second place in the intercollegiate Twelve matches were Wilson Girls Handicapped. Wilson Normal School is hampered in_its pursuit of athletics by two things—lack of time and facilities. The student-teachers’ program is so full that sports must be sandwiched in at odd moments. And the odd moments are few. Basket ball is the only varsity sport. Following a series of interclass games won by seniors, the varsity team was selected and an inter- collegiate schedule of four games played. The team, handicapped by the absence of a trained coach, fought its way to one tie with Gallaudet. Both encounters with George Wash- ington were lost At the close of the season letters were awarded to Augusta Postles, captain; Martha Adkins, manager; Helén Hesse, Louise Hicks, Agnes Motyka, Marie Neeb, Louise Kilton, Anna King, Pauline Tomlin, Rosella Shaw and Marion Birch. Six letters will be awarded for tennis this year. The awards have not yet been made, as the title has not been decided. Paultne Thomas and Hester Brooks, winner and runner-up, respectively, in the junlor class tourney, will receive their emblems, as well as will the senior winner and runner-up, and the winning team in the doubles event, which is to start this week. Miss Postles, captain of the basket |. ball squad and semi-finalist in the senior ten! tournament, stands out as the leader. On the basket ball field Miss Postles not only capiained their team and played guard, but did much of the coaching.

This announcement means much to local players of the fair sex, as the women's events have been won almost exclusively by Washington racketers for the past three years. Last year Marywill Wakeford cap- tifred the singles title, and Delphine Heyl with John Temple Graves, took the mixed doubles. Mrs. Winifred M. Ellis of Washing- ton and California was the 1923 sin- gles champlon, with Marywill Wake- ford as runer-up. Mrs. Ellis and Mrs. Edgar Allen Poe of Norfolk captured the doubles crown, and Mrs. Ellis, with Teddy Penzold of Norfolk, fig- ured in the mixed doubles final. In 1922 Mrs. Bllis won her first leg on the three-year cup. Miss Wakeford bowed to her in the titular round. Mrs. Ellis and Miss Wakeford were the doubles champions on their first visit to Norfolk. 3 Miss Wakeford, District title holder, and Miss Heyl already have announced their intentions of embarking for the seaside city. Marjorie Wooden and Mrs. J. P. Jackson, 1924 Chevy Chase champion, may also be included among the Washington entries.

Holz Eck. the shepherd stud dog belonging to Mr. and Mrs. F. L Tetreault, has recently been re- turned from the show of the Onon- daga Kenel Asociation at Syracuse, where he placed first in the American. bred class and reserve winner in an |entry of 54 dogs. Among the con- | tenders were Mrs. Geraldine Dodge's latest importation, Roland v. Riede- kenburg, Amix v. Alfredspark, and Soclety Mark v. Dusternbrook. Three |days later Fritz was shown at Utica. the home of the Central New York Kennel Club, and there he went sec- ond American-bred to Don of Rexden- Belcarza, the dog which had placed third at the Syracuse show. The winner at Utica was the noted double reserve sleger (German grand cham- plon) Alf v. Tollensetal P. H., recently imported from England, where the made an enviable show record. A valuable addition to the Tetreault kennel is Dohle v. Holz Eck, Sch. H., an imported black and tan brood matron of extreme quality. Her qual- ity as a producer is attested by the winnings of Fritz, a son from the mating of Dohl to Giradda's Ch. Schatz v. Hohentann. Dohl, at the time of her purchase, was bred to Cerno v. Muntsdorf, an imported son of the noted winner, Ch. Armin v. Pacewalk, Sch. H., and she has just whelped a litter of puppies from this mating. A writer on any subject must be at least interested in that subject, and a writer on live stock is generally actively engaged in breeding. In |order that there may be no suspicion of favoritism, it is usual that the live stock writer either neglects or make only slight mention of his own breeding animals. Since this is true, it is necessary that he wait until the death of one of his own animals before paying it proper tribute. The shepherd stud dog, Alf v. d. Lindenluft, well known to breeders and show followers of this section, died on June 10 from a hemorrhage of the stomach. This dog was im- ported during the fall of 1922 and was placed at stud in Washington. Since that time his influsnce on the quality of shepherds in and around the city has been distinctly felt. This dag was close up in the Riedeken- burg-Uckermark blood, and had just enough Boll blood to give him the desired fearless disposition.” This blood combination has produced practically every winner of note since the war, and is now conceded by breeders in general the best com- bination to follow. < Alf was purchased after the post show in Rostock, Mecklinburg, Ger- pmany, at which he placed first in the young class with the rating, sehr gut (very good), which is the high- est rating given in that class He was shown after coming to America at Harrisburg in 1922, where he placed first limit; at Washington in 1923, best local dog or bitch; at Baltimore in 1923, second limit to Ch.

OLLEGE athletics during the scholastic year just closed produced much in which local colleges may take justifiable pride. In fact, in no sport did any school fail to set a fairly high standard, and all may look back at their 1924-25 records with the feeling that they made considerable advancement. Especially is this true of those sports which were either revived or operated for the first time. Georgetown, as it has for years, held the place of greatest promi- nence in local college sports. Its teams, straight through the vear, un- | doubtedly were stronger than thosc the other four institutions. In | foat ball the Hilltoppers did not seem impressive through victories, but it is a fact that the team played through the toughest kind of a schedule and always put up the hardest kind of a fight, even when defeated by a touchdown or so To play through a feot ball schedule made up of difficult opponents a school gets no special credit for beating is not the most desirable situa- tion in the world, yet that is what Georgetown faced last Fall.
