EDITORIAL.
By Frances McGuill.
This issue of the Ogham is dedicated
to the Bobkittens, who, we believe,
rightfully deserve this honor and cred-
it. They have organized a girls’ bas-
ket ball team in high school, the first
Refugio has had in years, and have
succeeded in developing a good team.
They have very faithfully practiced
every afternoon, and have very nobly
fought hard and done their very best
in every game they have played. It
would-be unnecessary for me to list
the accomplishments of this baskt hall
team, as>you will find out all you want
to know about them except their
family history, in this week’s paper.
,We hope that you will enjoy this issue
as much as we have enjoyed editing
it. And, as a last thing, although not
by any means least, the editorial staff
of the Ogham wishes the Bobkittens
much success and luck in the future.

BASKET BALL SEASON REVIEW.
By Coach Smith.
The Refugio girls’ basket ball season
has been a success, even though the
first games played were lost. Only
now has the improvement made during
the season been manifested.
This year was the first (year in four
years that Refugio has had a girls’
basket ball team. All the girls now
on the team were then only grammar
school girls. Only Frances McGuill
and Cecilia Talman had ever played
before and they were only substitutes.
It took a great deal of spunk and
courage to keep on playing when the
first game played was lost to Woods-
boro by the large score of 30 to 3,
but the girls had it. Then they had
only had time to get over that when
Woodsboro decided they wanted to
play Refugio again. They won the
game, but the girls gave them a pretty
had scare. They didn’t think about
the improvement the Refugio girls had
made.
The team has played nine games in
all and has won three of them, but
the three won happen to be the last
three, so this gives us courage. The
score has been getting less in tbe op-
opponents’ favor until tbe last. This,
of course, tells a tale by itself.
The season was supposed to be over
December 1, but it is hard to stop
when one’s winning, so a tournament
is being planned and Refugio intends
to win.
Coming to
VICTORIA!
ity in the last game with Three Rivers
that they surprised the fans by out-
playing and outfighting the larger and
more experienced team of Three Riv-
ers throughout the entire game until j November
the last quarter, when1 a Three Rivers
man returned a punt through a broken
field for a touchdown. The Bobcats
so outplayed their opponents that they
made over twice as many first downs
as the opposing team. Their offensive
worked almost to perfection and they
carried the ball down the field time
and again almost to their own goal,
only to be stopped by the strong and
experienced team of Three Rivers. One
of the Bobcats’ failing points has been
starting off too slow, but they were
off with the first sound of the whis-
tle In heir final game, which was so
near a victory for them.
Fans were very much cheered by
the fight showed by the team and
they are expecting to have a winning-
team next season. The Bobcats have
won one game out of eight and all of
their games have been against strong,
experienced teams, so they have made
an A-No. 1 record, when one considers
all of the handicaps they have had.
Three of the Bobcats’ main men were
not able to play because of injuries
in other games, so had they had these
players they would have more than
likely given the Three Rivers bunch
a severe chastizing.
However, the Bobcats are losing
four good players in Harry Linney,
Woodrow Petty, Glen Irving and
James West. Harry, Glen and James
are finishing school, while Woodrow
has moved to Sinton.

BOBKITTENS DEFEAT KATS.
BOBKITTENS.
SPECIALIST
in Internal Medicine for the
past eighteen years
DOES NOT OPERATE
As the season draws to a close for
the Bobkittens the girls’ basket hall,
team, a summary of the results shows
a rather successful season for the
team’s first year. They started out
against the strong Woodsboro team
and took a rather severe drubbing.
This was not as bad as the score in-
dicated, however, because it shows
that they could be developed into a
smooth working basket ball team.
They tried five times to bring back
a victory from a contest with Woods-
boro, each time getting a little nearer
the goal. In the fourth game the
score was tied at the end of the game,
and a five-minute playoff gave the
Woodsboro girls a victory by one goal.
The last game climaxed the season for
the Kittens, and game them a sweet
taste of the Woodsboro girls, their
arch-rivals, in defeat.
Liking the taste of victory, the giris
have not lost a game since their initial
win over Woodsboro.. Bonnie View
was their next victim and Odem their
next and last game.
Coach Smith is to be commended
for her successful developing of green
material into a winning team in one
By Dorothy L. Hawes.
Wednesday afternoon, November 18,
the Bobkittens defeated the Krazy
Kats for the first time this season, but
probably not the last, if our Bobkit-
tens continue to play as they did Wed-
nesday.
The first quarter looked pretty
“tough’’ for the Bobkittens, but in the
second quarter a goal was made. At
the end of the first half the Krazy
Kats,were two ahead, but the last half
the Bobkittens cleaned up on ’em. By
the time the game was over the girls
on both sides were hot, dirty and
looked as though they’d played hard
and fast, which they did.
The starting lineup was:
Jessie Vance, forward.
Edna Payne, forward.
Cecilia Talman, guard.
Frances McGuill, guard.
Blanche Hill, jump center.
Grace Vance, run center.
By Mildred Nuekols.
Those citizens of Refugio who feel
that they have not received full value
from the recent football season (and
there usually are a few like that!)
should have journeyed down to Odem
on Saturday, November 21, where they
could have seen a feminine version of
the sport. . The contest was dignified
by the name “basket ball” and the
Bobkittens participated (do I get any
change back from that word?), but
the first half of the game had ail the
earmarks of a gridiron tilt. After the
first few minutes of play the referee—
a rather timid soul—more or less with-
drew from the scene of battle and re-
fused even to step in and break the
clinches.
Although rather surprised, at first,
by this state of affairs, the Bobkittens
soon threw themselves into the spirit
of the thing and their Irish ancestry
became more and more apparent.
The score at the end of the first
half was 9-4, with the Refugio dam-
sels holding the heavy end. During
the half the referee abdicated in favor
of one Mr. Bruce Thomas, a lad who
sees no reason for sparing the whistle,
and the rest of the game had more
of the aspects of basket ball. The final
blast of the timekeeper’s stalwart
whistle found the Bobkittens way out
in the open with a 23-8 score.
The lineup for the Fighting Irish
was as follows:
Jessie Vance, forward.
Edna Payne, forward.
Frances McGuill, guard.
Cecilia Talman, guard.
Blanche Hill, jumping center.
Grace Vance, running center.

JESSIE VANCE AS A
BASKET BALL PLAYER
never refused to back any worthwhile
project. We sincerely miss her.
Miss Mary Walden’s sunny personal-
ity is greatly missed. To Miss Wal-
den, who at the present is at Beeville,
we send our sincerest wishes. To
many she will be remembered for her
good sportsmanship.
Miss Margaret Sims, who was great-
ly admired by the student body and
proved to be such a competent teacher,
is now a lady of leisure in Austin.
To these teachers we all send our
best wishes for their happiness In
their new places. With the able sup-
port of our new principal, Mr. John

dent that much will be accomplished.

FROM THE SIDELINES.
REFUGIO DEFEATS BONNIE
VIEW, BY SCORE OF 21-11
Yea, Bobkittens! Fight! Fight!
Fight! And did they fight? I should
say so! Our Bobkittens certainly did
roll Ronnie View in the dust Thursday
afternoon!
The first half Edna Payne and Jes-
sie Vance made so many goals you
couldn’t say Bobkittens between ’em!
There were no substitutes put In
the game. Only one girl was hurt and
she was on the Bonnie View team. It
wasn’t serious.
Three cheers for Payne (Edna) !
She was the only girl in the game that
didn’t make a foul!
Refugio lineup :
Jessie Vance, forward.

Cecilia Talman, guard.
Frances McGuill, guard.
Blanche Hill, jump center.
Grace Vance, run center.

THE SUBSTITUTES.
By Elizabeth Montgomery.
Although this is Jessie Vance’s first
year to play basket ball, she has
proven to be one of the most outstand-
ing players of the team. Jessie plays
at the forward post and has been on
the throwing end of most of Refugio’s
points. She has proved to be high
“pointer” in each game, making 61
altogether.
MEMORIES OF LAST YEAR.
By Fannie Mae Mundy.
Among the small group of Bobkit-
tens of the Refugio High School,
Frances McGuill is one of the best.
She has played her part as guard in
every game this season so far, with
the exception of one, which was with
Austwell, and has never been ruled out
of a game because of personal fouls.
Her coach has had to prompt her only
once or twice, for after realizing her
mistake she immediatley conquers it.
During a game with the Woodsboro
Krazy Kats she became tired and was
removed for a short time to rest. In
another game one of the Krazy Kats
accidentally or unconsciously gave her
a bloody nose, and then, she was dis-
charged until she recovered from the
surprise. Even though she has had
her many “ups” and “downs,” she has
shown good sportsmanship and cour-
tesy toward everyone, especially her
opponents.
In the last three games with Woods-
boro, Bonnie View and Odem, respec-
tively, she has especially starred. It
seems that the entire team did much
better than usual in these games,
which is probably the background for
their victory. Throughout these games
the Bobkittens have shown much bet-
ter co-operation and tbe opposing for-
wards bave found that Frances is
“hard to catch.” She is quick, gets
the ball, and is gone with it before the
opposing forward has time to get into
a guarding position. In every way the
students of the Refugio High School
appreciate the efforts that she has ex-
ercised to bring her team to victory
and each and everyone of them are
willing to try to do the same for her.

Henrietta Thibodaux.
Irene Altman.
Bessie Beryl Heard.
Edna Mae Hill.
Clara Markham. .
Henrietta has played guard in al-
most every game when one of the reg-
ulars has been removed for various
reasons. She is considered a good
guard and does her “dead level best” jg
to hold tbe ball. We, the students of
the Refugio High School, wish to
thank her for her co-operation.
Irene has played jump center a num-
ber of times and has shown her good
sportsmanship throughout the season.
We appreciate her co-operation.
Bessie Beryl is the substitute for
side center and has played several
times. She is a good tackle and we
thank her also.
Edna Mae is the substitute for run
center and guard, and has proved to
be a good player.
Last, but not by any means least, is
Clara Markham. We are sure .that in
later years she will be a star basket
bll player.

TOAST TO BASKET BALL COACH.
By Elizabeth Montgomery.
When school started this year, many
old faces were missing among both
teachers and students. To these we
extend our sincere good wishes for
luck in their new places.
Mr. S. W. Henderson, popular and
brilliant superintendent of Refugio
School for the past three years, is now
teaching in Orange Grove.
One of the hardest workers ever
known at Refugio High School, Mr. C.
R. Boatwright, who is now attending
school at Austin, made many friends
here by his brilliant intellect and per-
sonal charm. Under his able leader-
ship the school made rapid strides for-
ward in progress and enjoyed some
of the most successful years in her
career, from both a scholastic and an
athletic standpoint.
Ever keeping the interest of the
school at heart, Mrs. E. W. Feagin

Here’s to our Coach, who is one of
the cleanest sports we’ve ever known.
The basket bail girls feel proud to
have had her train them in their first
year’s work. She has taught us the
fundamentals of the game. Also, she
has .inspired us to give of our very
best, and fight from the beginning to
the end, through courageous defeat
and glorious victory! Above all, she
has proved a worthy example for us
to follow—that of being a real sport!
So we propose a toast to our own
basket ball coach—
MISS ALICE SMITH.
