Senior Blues and Juniors battled for points in the most exciting of the two Juniors were just one jump behind the Blues until the fourth period, when they drew up even at j4-14 and seemed on the point of gaining the winning edge. Senior guards checked the potential score, however, and sent the ball down the line into the hands of Helen Louise Duckett, crack shot, who rolled in a 2.pointer to give the Blues a 16-14 victory. Jane Burke, Junior side center, starred for her team by her excellent pivot work. Miss Burke was on the ball as soon as it came into her ter- ritory and repeatedly tossed it home to her forwards for a quick score. Sophomore tossers did not run the Breckys so close a race, bowing to them, 87 to 18, but put up a good game, especially in the back fleld, where Elsa Keiner exhibited skill in guarding, which marks her as one of the outstanding backflelders in the serfes. Jean McGregor led in scoring for the winners, assisted by Dorothy Friedman and Evelyn Harrison. Mary Stafford played center for the Breckys with Mary Louise Stafford and Nan Haas alternating at side center Jose- phine Dunham, captain, and Eliza- beth Clary, guards. Hazel Kirk and: Helen Humphries divided scoring honors for the Jun fors. Iras Burroughs played center, Betty Gawen and Grace Hazard, slde center; Helen Ostermeyer and Miss Kelner, guards. The linewup for the Blue-Junior game was ds follows: The New Special Sedan Special Six Chassis Senior Blues—Alma Whaler, Doro- thea Lewis, forwards; Mirlam Licyd, center; Mary Sprowl, side center; Lydia Hunt, Eloise Lindsey and Vir- ginia Bouton, guards. Juniors—Edith _McCullogh, Anne Pallas, forwards; Eugenie Horne, cen- ter; Jane Burke, side center; Jac- queline Edes and Bessie Kritt, guards. In a threestring practice match at Eastern High School recently Helen Seitz, senior markswoman and crack shot,' won first honors in the experi- enced class. Otilia Burns took the first prize for novice sharpshooters, while Dorothy Thume fired a possible for the highest singlo string.
