The girls* game is considered a toss-up despite the fact that Sylva holds a previous win over the Cuiiownee crew. The Cullowhee girls have improved considerably since that first meeting. Only last week they knocked off the strong Murphy sextet, a doing that speaks for itself. The Sylva girls aren't to be counted out, however. Not as long as their high-scoring trio is around. Mary Worley, Patsy Parris and Louise West , usually are good for a high total of points. The Cullowhee girls also have been rolling up the score of late.
