A great amount of praise is due to the girls; they have organized several efficient basket ball teams, and several games have been played. Under the excellent instruction of Miss Moore they were playing very fast ball, but lately the girls’ enthusiasm has evi¬ dently been giving out, for they have not been practicing as they should. This lack of spirit seems to be spread¬ ing, for the coach has showed great laxity of late and seems unable to give as much attention to the teams as heretofore. Several very good players have been turned out so far and have been doing some excellent work. However, what the girls need Is practice, and plenty of it. They are planning several games, one of which will, if possible, be ar¬ ranged with Monmouth, The Gymnasium. The gymnasium is a source of en¬ joyment for the boys. At the present there is no instructor, and, conse- I quentiy, no systematic work. It is the intention of the Commercial Club, however, to arrange for an instructor, and as soon as this is done the boys will be put under restriction. A gymnasium is a great factor in the student life, for it is a well known fact that the schools which have a thomugh system of physical training develop the best students; and al¬ though this school has never had a regular “gym” of its own, any of its students may easily be enrolled in the club that has charge of the Commer¬ cial Club gymnasium. The T rack Team. It does one good to go down to the indoor track and watch the boys at work preparing for the track team. We have several good men for the long and middle distances, but ma¬ terial for the sprints has not showed up as was expected. As we also have several promising candidates in the weights, there is no reason why the track team should not be a success. It is rumored that the Seniors and Sophomores are going to challenge the .luniors and Freshmen for an inter¬ class field meet. We hope they will do so, as it will be a good thing to bring out material for the regular team.
