As for the centers, Clifford Clark was free most of the time and intercepted and broke up passes all during tho game and her passing to the forwards was great. Mae Cole man divided the tap with her opponent but helped Clifford in the center pass ing and between them they managed to keep the ball down to the forwards moet of the time. And as s for the guards well, the Palmer score tells how they pVayed. Capt. Elizabeth Ray did everything a guard of All-State calibre rhould do, and Loulso Davis helped "Bit" In the guarding in great style and played a good game at all times. Harrison did the big work for the Palmer team. The whole team played hard and showed what could be done by con sistency and faithfulness to practice and following the advice of the coach, and not to overlook it, great credit must be given Miss Waite for the way hsr girls played for their teamwork was splendid and their passing ex cellent.
