Q' Y? 1 RESTLING at the School of Agriculture has again taken a stride forward. f This sport has become very popular. Every evening the boys can be found in ' the training rooms developing the art of clever wrestling. , I L X Wrestling is considered one of the most strenous sports. It is different than most Q If i other sports in that each man must depend entirely upon himself when on the mat. He .QQ cannot rely on his team-mates to help him through when in a tight place. It also is one , of the finest sports for developing the body. When. in action, almost every muscle l is put into play. Wrestling also develops balance, speed, and the ability to think quickly, aj Rl above all it develops real sportsmanship. lv' . . l . lfbxl This season over 120 men reported regularly for practice.

Handball BARS ago handball was not very popular in the athletic curriculum of the School of Agriculture, but in recent years students have taken a much greater interest in the game. Handball has an advantage over other sports in several ways. Since it is an indoor game the season is unlimited for the school students and they can partake of this form of exercise from early fall until they leave in the spring. Although it can be made a very strenuous game when players of equal ability play the game, it can be played by people who do not have very strong physiques, and who cannot take part in cross country run- ning, wrestling and boxing, Where an unusually strong physique is the first essential. Two, three, or four people are able to play the game in the same court. It is very easy to arrange a game for such a small number and it does away with the trouble of bringing together a large group such as is necessary in basket-ball. Exercise is the first essential in doing successful school work. The body and mind cannot be separated. Unless a person is in good physical condition the mind cannot do the most eilicient work. Handball along with other athletic sports indirectly helps us to think more clearly. -M. DANKERS. e r, few. - be fa A'-e 4- -----e e Page One Hundred N ineleen

The Swimming Class HERE are about thirty boys enrolled in the swimming class this quarter. ll Most of the boys can not swim, but they have entered the class with the determination to learn. ' The objectives of swimming are recreation, and to help some one who may be in distress in the water. As a form of recreation and exercise swimming is one of the bestg on hot afternoons on the farm, there is nothing quite like running down to the old swimming hole for a swim and a few refreshing minutes. Swimming does not require a lot of muscular strength, but it will build up the muscular structure of weak boys and girls, at the same time giving the co-ordination of body parts. The class has been in progress for two weeks and we have had many funny experiences already. Two of the boys in the class can swim perfectly under water, but as soon as they come above water to take a breath of air, down to the bottom they go. This is just a matter of co-ordination and will be remedied soon. The experiences of these two boys has brought a revolution in methods of learning to swim. There have been no tragedies so far, and we are all sure that there will be none. In closing, the boys say that they will all be seals by the end of the quarter. -G. A. KRUEGER.
