Willinger A WONDERFUL coach who aimed to impart to the girls the true sense of made the girls' basketball team loyalty, co-operation and sportsmanship, of Western Maryland College a winner in every sense of the word. Although the first game of the season resulted in a victory for their oppo' nents, our team was not defeated altogether, for they seemed to prove the truth of the old maxim, "The best sports are the good losers." At the tea following the game, every varsity girl was out to give the Notre Dame girls the friendly hand, shake. The return game with Notre Dame found the tables turned, and the splendid teamwork and quick passing of our team gave us an overwhelming victory, 53 to 34. Gettysburg looked like a formidable foe to the Western Maryland syrnpa- thizers when their tossers made their appearance in the gym, but good teamwork and brilliant shooting made another victory possible-32 to 16. Our first game with Normal, played at home, gave them a victory. There was hard playing on the part of both teams, but the opponents were the ones to score the larger number of points this time. The most exciting game of the season was the return game played at Towson. During the first half Western Maryland was far in the lead, but two of our players were fouled out, thus giving the Normal Sch001 girls a chance to roll up their score. There was much support for both teams, and each felt its school to be in back of it. However, when the whistle blew, M. S. N. S. was still ahead. Our team still kept its radiant spirit, and .on its return, everyone thought the vic, tory had been ours. . A proper close to a short but successful season was found in the last game with Gettysburg. Real Western Maryland spirit put this victory across. Ginny Wilson and Annie Lauder well deserve their titles of Girl Champions, for in every game they excelled, and played brilliant, clean games throughout. In this creditable manner have the Western Maryland girls completed their third season of inter-collegiate basketball; among their opponents their name stands for sportsmanship, loyalty, and co-operation.
