The basketball tournament was the most closely con- tested of the sports this year. There was a three-way tie when the freshmen beat the seniors 19 to 18, the seniors beat the sophomores 22 to 14, and the sophomore beat the fresh- men 27 to 24. The juniors were defeated by the other three teams. In the play-off the results were the same. Since time was short and since an agreement had been made before the playoff to provide for such a situation. the points scored by each team were counted. Upon this basis the seniors were victorious with a total of 41 points. The sophomores and freshmen were tied with 31 points each. Interest was high and competition was keen, so that when the team from farm- •• ville State Teacher's College came to our campus there was unusual excitement among the women Our honorary varsity defeated this team by one point, The score was 24 to 23. Volleyball season followed upon the heels of basketball. Practice was short and snappy, Teams were picked and the tournament was under way before many of us caught our breath. Again the seniors won, defeating the freshmen 23 to 14, the sophomores 33 to 2, and the juniors 18 to 12. After spring vacation there was more participation in sports by a greater number of girls than at any other time of the year. Baseball teams were chosen, and they played on a 60-foot base line instead of on the 45-foot base line of last year. Another novelty was the change from an ourseam ball to an inseam ball. This made the game faster and more technical. Golf and archery were practiced and special classes were held after four o'clock for those desiring in- struction. Tennis was played as usual. each girl arranging her own schedule for practice and competition with this exception-a girl can now make points in baseball and tennis at the same if she makes a team in the former sport and wins a game in the latter. Last year Jessie Mae Morris now a senior, won the silver loving cup offered to the women's tennis champion of the school.
