1. Before 1920, Hobart High students regarded men's and women's sports as relatively equal. The women's teams, like the men's, competed against other schools. In 1909, the boy's basketball team won only two of eleven games. In most instances, "the scores against them were quite large." In contrast, "the girls made up for the defeats of the boys by winning every game they played." Their six victories against teams from Crown Point, Gary, and East Chicago secured for the school the championship of Lake County. The high status of the girls' teams continued into the 1920s.
