Prince Rupert City Basketball Team

City of RainbowsInspiring Women
Written By Marilyn Carr-Harris

The Telephone Girls Basketball team wore middies and bloomers on the court

Though emancipated enough to form their own league, these ladies were listed only by their surnames.

The team was coached by Lee Dell from 1915 to 1920.
