9irls' 'Varsity 'Basket 'Ball HE girls' basket-ball season started with a victory and the season as a whole was a victorious one in every sense of the word. Good sports- manship, cooperation among the players as well as with the Coach, and a true fighting spirit were the outstanding characteristics of the Due to Miss Millard's effor-ts to raise the standard of girls' athletics at Western Maryland College a greater number of teams were played, some of which rate among the strongest of the teams of the East. Frostburg's reputation in previous games gave promise of <)11 overwhelming defeat for our team. Determination coupled with excellent team-work and remarkable playing every member of the team proved too great for our opponents. Another was added to out list. Two games were scheduled with the Marjorie Webster School of Physical Education. Again victory for our team seemed doubtful. The score in both games "wig-wagged" from one side of the score-board to the other until a final determination to win on the part of OU1 stepped in. The equi- librium was broken-we won the games with scores 34-28; 32-26. Success marks the fourth season of girls' inter-collegiate basket-ball; success not merely in winning the majority of games but success as embodied in perfect cooperation, sportsmanship worthy of praise, and an unconquerable spirit.
