WOMEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Women’s Athletic Association aims to further interest in women’s athletic activities and to develop women physically. A co-ed who has earned twenty-five points by participation in any of the athletic activities or by personal hygiene, is eligible for membership in the organization. One thousand points entitle her to receive and wear the offi- cial “M” of the organization, and to become a candidate to the Women's Honor “M” Club. Hiking, tennis and volleyball are the sports participated in during the fall season. In addition to the regular floorwork, basketball is an outstand- ing activity of the winter season; while aesthetic dancing, tennis, hiking and baseball are the spring activities. These activities provide for organic development, neuromuscular skill and wholesome attitudes through vigorous and systematic exercise.

TRACK IN 1933 In spite of the deadly toll that spring fever takes on athletes, twenty-one men responded to Coach Lawrence’s first call for track practice in the spring of 1933. Four of the group were lettermen. Biffar, Midland shotput veteran, placed third in the seventh annual Hast- ings Relays with a heave of 42 feet, 3 inches. Midland and Hastings were the only N. C. A. C. schools to place in the relays. Hippie’s fourth in his heat failed to qualify him in the 120 high hurdles. Lundstrom in the broad jump, Nelson in the polevault and Lyman in the discus showed to advantage in their respective events, but failed to qualify. With one of the outstanding class teams of recent years, the freshmen cut away the lion's share of the honors in the interclass meet by running up a score of 66 tallies to more than double their nearest rival’s score of 32. The seniors, defending champions, collected the 32 points, leaving the juniors to place third with 26 tallies, and the sophomores to bring up the rear with 25. Nelson and Hippie, individual high scorers, won 21 and 16 points respectively. Other high scorers were: Fuhrmeister 12, Biffar n, and Garnie Davis and Dale Flora with 10 each. Mainly by excellence in the field events, Midland's track team rung up 22 points to place third in the N. C. A. C. track and field carnival at Crete. Eleven tracksters carried Midland's colors during the meet. Biffar wound up his inter-collegiate competition with a shot put throw of 43 feet, 7 inches, to win the shot by more than two feet. He also placed fourth in the discus. Fuhrmeister and Nelson tied with three others for first in the pole vault at a height of twelve feet. Fuhrmeister also placed second in the high jump at a height of 5 feet, 8 inches. Third places were won by Lyman in the discus, Wilson in the javelin and Flora in the 88o-yard dash. Fourth places were cap- tured by Nelson and Hippie. THE WARRIOR Page 75

Beulah Meyer Sponsor......................... Mrs. Charles H. Mason CHAIRMEN Basketball Elaine Lucas Volleyball ... ......... Mary I. Anderson Baseball .......................... .. Mary Pfleuger Hiking.............................. Florence Culton Tennis................................ Mary K. Johnson To sponsor and promote the work of the Women’s Athletic Association in its purpose of providing athletic activities and developing Midland co-eds physically is the work of this hoard. The chairmen, appointed by Patricia Rieper, were chosen because of their special ability in one field of activity. Each chairman directs and stimu- lates interest in her sport. The first social entertainment for W. A. A. candidates this year was a hare and hound chase. Leaving Fremont at 4 o’clock Thursday, October 13, a group of hares, led by Elaine Lucas, opened a cross country run toward the Platte river. Half an hour later they were pursued by a fleet of persistent hounds directed by Bertha Ferris. Both parties assembled at the elephant’s cave south of the Platte for a picnic lunch. Friday, December 15, 22 girls signified their intention to join W. A. A., climaxing the party held in the gymnasium. The party was held for the pur- pose of entertaining new girls and getting them better acquainted with the association. 1 earn competition of races, football, basketball, croquet and other games were forms of entertainment under the direction of Grace Rowe. Each year an inter-class basketball tournament stimulates interest in that sport. This year four teams were entered in the tournament: the Senior All- Stars, the Sophomore-Junior team, the Dorm Freshies and the Town Freshies. The All-Stars easily proved their championship by winning every game, with the Dorm Freshies as runner-ups. THE WARRIOR Vane 77
