Mem- : I bership in this association places us under a E Li number of obligations. Not only are we to en- : force fixed rules of eligibility, sportsmanship and S i courtesy to opponents, but we are also expected i to be able to extend to -visitors the same ac- i : commodations that they extend to us. i g Since this is our first year as member of i 2 the conference we may consider ourselves for- 2 g tunate in securing' as good a basket-ball schedule 2 , as we did. We may hope to have more conference 3 I games next year, but whether many of these games I will be played on our present floor is a question. i Qolleges are adverse to playing .on our 'small L. C. BUNDGAARD K I floor and do not like our primitive conditions. Physical Director I i Our stay in the conference is dependent largely E f on a. speedy erection of a new gymnasium. Although Intercollegiate Athletics are 1 ! important and add variety to school life and are a means of advertisement, they l Q are by no means tl1e most important phase of our physical education and athletic i program. The greatest possible good for the greatest number of students is more I T important. Gymnastics and Athletics for every able bodied student is far more i important and should always be our aim. I T Our sensitive youths of to-day need more than ever the dicipline and training : embodied in tl1e message, be fruitful multiply and replenish the earth . The 2 Q joyful feeling experienced through bodily control gives a sense of balance between Q mind and body vital to us all. Thus while we need a new gymnasium for the ac- L ! comodation of crowds, we need it much more for the health of the institution. xl I I I L I I I Q I l I I l I L I l I I 'i'- ------ -------- ' 'T1VI1YlII-' Ivlv -rw ------------ -nw-ng

Through the efforts of Prof. Bundegaard all have, in some way or other, l1ad opportunities of getting into the competitive games. The season has been one of sport for all. Last fall several soccer teams were organized which proved at- tractive to many. For a while there was a regular soccer fever which tarried with us until the cold weather prohibited the game. The basket-ball season has been unusually favorable. With an average far above the .500 mark, we feel that the season has been a success. This is the first year that our school has been in the conference. Next year we hope that our team may prove its metal to far greater advantage. During the winter the team took a tour in Iowa and played several games all of which we won with the exception of the Tabor game. We have reason to be proud of our team, which we support not only because the team is ours, or because of the excellent work done by the boys when on the floor, but we take special pride in the clean sportsmanship of the team. This year a number of Inter-mural teams were organized. The interest in these miniature teams was great and was kept to the highest pitch during the entire season. The ,,Danesy', composed of boys born in Denmark, proved to be the cham- pions, and went through the season being defeated only by The Great Lake Bears . Track is beginning to come into its own as an important branch of athletes here. With the fine material that our coach is developing and a better track we may look forward to the day when Dana will take its place among the colleges of t11e State in this sport. Greater than ever is the following of tennis. The courts are this season in wonderful shape and are being put to continuous use. A silver loving cup has been given to the winner of the tennis singles championship every year. The present holder is Boas Weismann: The competition for the cup is keener than ever since there are three former holders of the cup in the contest this year. This year a ten- nis team will be sent to Lincoln to compete against the inter-collegiate teams. Our school also in the field of athletics is beginning to show its finer qualities. The future of athletics at Dana is promising. VVith new modern equipment and our present athletic director the Department of Physical Culture and Athletics will come to the place which it deserves.
