Harry Katz, slabman for the home team, held the visitors to five scattered hits, and received great support. Murphy, battery for the K. M. I. nine, pitched a fine, sieady game of ball, letting Stetson Kdown with only two hits, but he was given indifferent support, and the Stetson boys scored their seven tallies with a clear margin.

The Stetson girls were greatly outweighted byr the Charleston squad, and also gave away between fourteen and thirty-six inches in height, which is a big factor in girls basketball, and this probably i accounts for the home team drawing the wrong end of the score. However, the Stetson girls were neither outplayed nor outfought, and tho they lose the basketball championship, they still retain their reputation of being the best-looking girls team in the country. As in previous games, the best work of the playr was in the center of the floor, Evelyn Turnquist, I and in the second half Catherine I Haynes played rings around their opponents. Olga Bowen, who star- | ted the game as running center, i did satisfactory playing while on | the floor. Mena Bates, who substituted for Bowen in the first ! half, showed some fast playing, some of which would make football I look tame, but she was too strenuous for the referee, and had acquired four disqualiying personal fouls by the middle of the second period. Catherine Haynes and Margaret Woodall played a great game at guard, keeping the ball constantly under Stetson's basket. Delta Haynes substituted for Catherine ) Haynes, in the second half, when the latter was moved to center by Manager Dickey. Sarah Smith was Stetson's star of the evening, shooting three clean tallies in spite of unusual guarding by Nelson and Baur. Aline Peyton also made good, dropping two scores. Smith also dropped four free throws, and Peyton one. Miss Wohlers, Charleston's six foot forward, was the mainstay of the visitors offensive. Her exceptional ability to reach up and drop the sphere thru the ring j scored fifteen of Charleston's six- I teen tallies. Miss Wohlers was Continued on Paae 3 I^^^BH^H=
