determined to win and showed their determination during the entire game. For a while the excitement ran high, for it looked as if they would come out victors. However, the score reversed a few minutes before time was called and the High School once more was victorious. The score was 9-7. Believing in the motto, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," the Train- ing School girls decided to play a last and decisive game. Both teams had determined to win and they showed their determination by keeping the score a tie all through the game. This was perhaps the best girls' game ever seen played at the local hall. Both teams did excellent team work and each player played to the best of her ability. Excitement ran high in the crowd and for a while the whistle of the referee could not be heard. When the regular playing time was up it was found that the score was a tie, 4-4. Extra time was then given to see which team could get two points the first. Fouls were called on the High School girls and taking every opportunity the Training School's forwards made two free throws which ended the game with the score of 6-4 with the D. K. T. S. victorious. STURGEON BAY HIGH SCHOOL VS. D. K. T. S. One of the most interesting games of the season was played on March 7, 1918, when the Sturgeon Bay "seven" came to Algoma to play the D. K. T. S. girls. They were soon shown that determination to win and winning a game were two entirely different matters. The many spectators agreed that the teams were well matched and that the game was a very fast one. , The final score was 16-5 in favor of the D. K. T. S. After the game, the D. K. T. S. and the Algoma High School girls served supper to the Sturgeon Bay team in the Assembly Room of the Training School. A short musical program was given by the members of the school, after which toasts were called for from the members representing the different schools. The remainder of the evening was spent in playing games. The return game with Sturgeon Bay was played in the Sturgeon Bay gymnasium on March 19, 1918. This game was different from other games, due to the fact that, it was a one-line game instead of a two-line. Miss Leutsker of the Training School and Miss Thorpe of the High School, accompanied the team to Sturgeon Bay. Miss Thorpe acted as referee. Our girls were somewhat handicapped by the small hall in which they neded to play. Sturgeon Bay took the lead during the first few minutes and secured four points. However, our girls got into the game and brought the score to a tie. At the end of the first half the score was 6-3 in favor of the High School girls. When the second half began there was good playing on both sides. In a short while the score was a tie 8-8. The girls now tried to imitate the boys and rough playing was the result. Fouls were called on both sides and these were the cause of Sturgeon Bay getting one point ahead. Then came the climax. A brilliant throw by one of the Sturgeon Bay centers and the game was over with the Sturgeon Bay girls the victors by a score of 8-11. A reception was given the Training School girls after the game which was greatly appreciated. The players and their positions: Emily Anderson, center. Ann Ellyn Welniak, guard.
