TBC Woman ' s Athletic Association In December, 1921, a group of University co-eds decided that athletics were just as vital to women as to men; thus, the Women ' s Athletic Association was formed in Toledo University. By January, 1925, this organization had grown so as to become a member of the National Athletic Conference of American College Women. Membership in this conference makes possible the transfer of points to and from other colleges. Now we come to the end of one of the most successful years the W. A. A. has known. Under the general guidance of Miss Erns- berger and the Presidency of Helene Cosgray women ' s athletics have been put on a higher status than ever before. The motto of the Women ' s Athletic Association is Sports for Sports ' Sake ; it has tried to foster a spirit of athletics for all women. The Point System, as suggested by the National Athletic Conference for American College Women, is applied in our university. One hundred points are awarded for making the A team in any major sport, and to make the team it is necessary to have the required number of practices and to participate in at least one intramural game. All members of the B team are awarded fifty points. Upon the accumu- lation of five hundred points (only two hundred points can be made a season) a T. U. bar pin is given; of one thousand points a large yellow felt T ; and with fifteen hundred points a T sweater. The sweater, a white coat with a yellow chenille T is the highest honor conferred by the association. This year one girl, Henrietta Breno, a Junior, was eligible for her sweater. The close of each season is marked by a banquet, at which all awards arc made by the heads of sports. -{102}-

BASKETBALL Basketball might be termed the favorite sport of the women athletes. Certainly when the cold winds howl about the gymnasium, there is a flock of females who keep warm by following the ball. Flossy Zeldon by her capable leadership was a prime factor in the successful season just closed. A star herself, she instilled the necessary enthusiasm to make this year the best ever. The teams were well matched and provided many exciting games. But by a rally in the last few minutes of their tilt against the freshmen A girls, the sophomores emerged from the game with a one-point victory and the university championship. Members of the winning Sophomore team are Dorothy Miller, Margaret Hart, Alma Hinchman, Margaret Egley, Lucille Kazmaier, Charlotte Webb, and Anna Kline. This game officially closed the girls ' basketball season, climaxing a week ' s tourna- ment in which five teams played, with over forty girls participating. Each player had to have at least ten practices to her credit, besides an active membership in an intra-mural team in either the sorority or independent league. Margaret Hart and Jennie Zeldon received T ' s for unusual ability in the tourna- ment. PISTOL SHOOTING Pistol shooting experienced a most thriving year under the management of Policewoman Slater and Lieutenant Hennessy. As head of this sport, Eleanor Evans, never missed being at the Toledo Police range. In the near future Toledo will have a vice squad of Policewomen headed by Toledo University co-eds. TRACK Track is a sport that includes every girl, short or tall, fat or slim. With the var- ious activities offered, the javelin-throw, hundred yard dash, hurdles, etc., each girl is afforded an opportunity to excell in one thing. The art of track in its different forms, requires keen co-ordination of mind and body. Under the guidance of Helen Leech this spring was one of great accomplishments. HOCKEY Hockey again maintained its reputation as a drawing card in the list of sports for co-eds. At the beginning of the season sixty-two girls reported. Of this number, some thirty-five or forty girls came through the season, winning a reward. The freshmen emerged as victors in the class tournament by defeating the upper-classmen three to nothing, and the sophomores three to nothing. Charlotte Webb was head of the sport. The coveted T ' s for exceptional ability and good sportsmanship in Hockey were won by Irma Memminger, a freshman, and Jo Hauman, a senior. The frosh, as victors in the class tournament, were presented with a cup, which is the first award of its kind. -{ m }
