I 34 sez as 'fe xr Indoor Athletic Meet The annual indoor athletic meet was held March l5th. lt surpassed any- thing of the kind ever held in the gymnasium. Iivents were pulled oil in stand- ing and running high jump, shot put. rope vault, high diving and rope climb. The rope climb Iizzled out, because the contestants were unable to get past the three foot section near the top, which some thoughtful person had greased. Buckingham, Durin. Sherkey, llolinger and Stautier did work on the parallel and horizontal bars and mat tumbling that would have ranked well with pro- fessional tumbling. Smith, Martin and the llaoun Dawg pulled off a line of vaudeville that would make Ringling's clowns look like the mourners at a funeral. :X tie game of basket ball between the llayseeds and College ll closed a most interesting evenings entertainment. Athletic Association Much of the success of the preceding athletic season is due to the College TX. A. its organization can be traced to the new spirit that seemed to take possession of the school after the burning of Sandstone. Not a little credit is due our physical director, Robt. Mohler. Its purpose is to place control of college athletics where they belong, in the hands of the student body. The initial fee of fifty cents entitles members to engage in any work in gym or on the campus, and also to reduced rates on athletic supplies. Lockers, boxing gloves, punching bags, muscle developers and other needed apparatus have already been purchased. W'hy not work towards a swimming pool and bowling alley in the gym basement, and a better baseball diamond and halt-mile track outdoors ? Prospects for Tennis and Baseball College Life goes to press too early to record the work of our knights of the racket and basball mask, So the dope must be confined to prospects. The tennis sharks are looking forward to the balmy days of spring when they can cut 'em in the old time way. Sam Sherfy and his white pants will be absent. but we know where Sam will be and what he will be doing to the L'ni- versity experts. The annual tournament will be the big event. The light for the college championship will be a hard one. ,lust now, the smaller fry are won- dering whether lfike or Shively will enter. Two new courts are promised by the Athletic Association, and with the four now in use, should provide ample play- ing accommodations. Prospects are not so good for baseball. Great interest is shown in the game. but without a better diamond not much can be done toward a college nine. lf College Hall could be moved several rods toward the postoflice, or the chapel connected to the east or south sides of the main building, it would provide ample room for baseball. The trustees may use any suggestions they find helpful. Epicurean vs. Dining Hall From the standpoint of speed and excitement the lipicurean, Dining llall contest has a shade on all the games played in the gym this season. The Ephs had an advantage in possessing two first team players. The ll. ll. having :t larger number from which to choose, were able to place a better balanced team upon the floor. :Xt no time was either team more than four points in the lead, the game ending with the lips on the long end of a 233-21 score. Shearer for the Epicureans played a remarkable game, holding Vvagenman down to one ineffectual attempt at a basket. XVhitmer starred for the D. ll., getting credit for eleven points.
