TENNIS N the realm of wellestablished sports in which Junior College has made its mark, tennis may be regarded as one in which the Bos coached outnts have enjoyed the most spectacular rise to fame. During the past three years the Maize and Blue racquet wielders have constantly come to the fore, not only in encounters with other Junior colleges, but in contests and tournaf ments in which they were pitted against representatives of the state's best fourfyear college teams. In addition, many a Junior College player won individual hon-ors on municipal tennis courts. A review of the work of former court squads is found to be a recital of numerous honors. Two years ago the Bosmen defeated team after team, finally to be hailed as Micliigan Inter' collegiate champions. In the spring of 1927 the Grand Rapids net artists took first honors in the Michigan junior College tennis meet. They were runnersfup to Detroit City College in the State Interfcollcgiate meet, and runnersfup to Hillsdale in the Invitational tournament. In other contests with various colleges throughout the season they won five dual meets and tied the sixth. Of the men composing this highly successful squad, Glocheski, Formsma, Webster, and Davidson returned for practice this spring. In addition to these, Coach Bos received a goodly number of new candidates, all of whom were men of ability who had already made their mark with various high schools. After making a good showing in the City Indoor tournament, these net artists launched into a long and strenuous schedule lasting until the Brst week in june. c Q-'+-s- ' f1:!.v?-S' 9'-N' Pysvs- .

TRACK HE development of a successful track squad is a phase of athletics which, like the forma' tion of good swimming and tennis teams, shows the extent to which the benefit derived for the participants is emphasized in a college's program of sports. In this branch Junior College has come to be a leader. Instead of devoting his efforts to spring football in order to assure added fame for himself and the college in this major sport, Coach john Bos has worked consistently-toward the development of as many branches of athletics as possible, so that the total number of men who get an opportunity to participate each year in one activity or another has become very large. In spite of the inexperience with which Coach Bos has been compelled to cope each spring, his efforts in the past few years have been crowned with marked success. In 1926 he faced additional difhculty in trying to secure competition. Last year. however, he was able to schedule a full program of events. After a series of meets with many colleges in the state, the Bosmen took first place in the Michigan Junior College track meet. Six of last year's veterans again reported for this season's work, and with these as a nucleus the Maize and Blue mentor set about the business of whipping into shape another first class squad. for which he could choose from a list of 25' new candidates. The job was soon done and the Junior College trackmen went through a strenuous season of activities. ff'!Q F Qui, J? 1'?f'El'sQ'j,'?: 2? . ml? f, fe5g:,'Q5..?5,-: ':ixj:-E1-Q A .s 'rfx 5, ir: .1uv1f1l'fr,f?:,g1r .,V. 151-gfxgm f-Sf iff, gf Z ai- He+as lf.f f if .

SOPHQMORE GIRLS, BASKETBALL HE basketball team this year was rather slow in getting started. lt was difficult to get the Sophomore girls, outside of the Physical Education Department, interested in coming out to play, but they did manage to get enough so that they could play some games. The team was composed mainly of last year's Freshmen team, and their luck carried ov-er from the Freshmen to the Sophomore team, as they were able to defeat this year's Freshmen in the three games that were played. Miss Florence Foster acted as coach, and also refereed the games. After school basketball is not only for the special Physical Education students, but for all girls that like to play. In order to have good, worthfwhile teams, all of the girls attempt to cooperate. 'f!','! ' F' ' 'Q F! 1': .'v Q 9' 4, Q -21w-3- ' 9? - no .r-.1 1 Ofl P.' A-vfffff 4- 4 ne- .i.
