. remarkable goal shooting of Basq. The
score was 28 to 22. "

•hold 1 as one of. the leading sports. .A

great help to the: fast team for prac-^
: tice. The last game that the first. team
played was with Spring Valley/school
at the big. recreation in Golden Gate

BERT LEON
The Hearst girls met the girls from
the .Roosevelt school in the courts of
the latter and they captured the hon
ors from them by a Score of 7 to 5.
As the score shows, | the game was
hotly contested and full of excitement.
From the beginning of the' first half
until the final whistle .blew, each team
was doing its. level best to establish a
lead, and neither succeeded, for at the
end of the first half the score stood 4
to .4. The second half netted but one
point for each side, so with score lied
and about two minutes to play, Miss
May Brown of Hearst threw, a field;*
the whistle blew and the game' was
won. The final score ' was Hearst 7,
Roosevelt ,5. • \u25a0 '<
Previous to this game a practice
game was played with, the girls from
the -Everett school, Hearst winning by
a score of 2C to 1. The Everett team
has just been organized "and so were
no 'match for their more experienced
opponents. On this account the game
can' not be counted against the girls
from \u25a0Everett..'
