Depending on their individual stars, the
Seniors won an easy victory of 8-2 against
the Sopliomores in the second team pre-
liminaries last Friday.
The Senior halfback, F. Matteson; played
a strong offensive game, .shooting
and backing up her forwards so effectively
that she threw no extra defense work on
her fullbacks. In-spite of the determined
resistance of the Red defense, the Senior
forwards were able *to elude their guards
and threaten the goal.
Sophomores Won First Game
An exgting struggle between the Seniors
and Sophomores resulted in the victory of
1925 with‘a score of 3-2 on February, 13.

In the meanwhile seventy-five girls in
the school building had assembled in the
front hall in fee*drill formation, where
they were told that there was no danger
and_were sent hack to bed. According to
one of them, they were greatly amused
when the papers next day informed them
in lurid. columns that “the girls stood shiv-
ering in the snow in their -night-dresses
until Baldwin and Shipley Schools took
them in and gave them coffee and
sandwiches.”
Upon-the arrival of the fire company, the
fire, which was caused by a ective flue,
was easily extinguished. Except for a fire-
man temporarily overcome by smoke, noth-
ing was damaged but the furniture.

chance lay in passing and quick shots the
Seniors fumbled less with the ball in the

often. unguarded, frequently..managed. to

to lose it to thetfRed backs. The second
half, more exciting because it was faster,
was still scrappy. ‘The. long passes were
uncertain and brought the sth i the

The weakness. “of the Dark Blue lay in-
