Miss Krumheuer I Girls' athletics - definitely sissy! That's what you think! Just face Ike across a badminton net and start ducking - maybe you'll change your mind. ' When one passes that hundredth table at regis- tration labeled Women's Athletics - a robust, healthy girl hurls forth - uBasketball, Volley- ball, Dancing, Gylnnastics, Archery, Bowling, Bad- minton, Paddle Tennis, Tennis, or Ping-Pong please? Involuntarily the object addressed reels under the impact of the numerous choices, some of which she had probably never heard of before. When the hour of class is ascertained the girls are Women s Athletlcs asked whether they are interested in intramurals and tournaments - with men. Naturally! ! Blue and white middies donned, the gals please not only Miss Krumheuer, capable instructor and head Gymnast, but also the Males. i While the autumn leaves were turning, veterans and novices alike appeared for badminton - ex- perts like Bill Dare and '6Miss Hornbach slash- ing back and forth at each other and those who play the game a new way, like Bob Paine - the seat of his pants tread the floor as often as the soles of his shoes.

Strong freshmen additions to a squad already containing three of last year's lettermen made the golf team of Grand Rapids Junior College the team to beat in the Michigan Junior College con- ference this year. Members of the 1940 squad who again turned out for practice were Joe Badaluco, Don Dilley, and Craig Hitchcock, and to these veterans were added one of the most promising 'of freshmen crops in recent years, consisting of John Mac- Naughton, Sherman Massingham, Grant Reed, Bill Farrar, Henry Razmus, and Bob Waters. Badaluco, MacNaughton, and Massingham were regular starters in the first few matches, with Reed, Waters, Dilley, and Farrar putting up a strong fight for the number four position and sometilnes entering the number three slot. In their first five matches the team had won three and lost two, taking two matches off Calvin College by the scores 9K5-ZM, and 11-1 respec- tively, and one from Hope 'YM-4-M. Their two losses were to Kalamazoo by a 10-2 margin, and to Jackson J.C. by a half point, the score reading SVZ-65 at the end of a hectic battle.
