::L.-,$-v; ;. www.sueigiamw ygw HE: GRIPF'I 1920 WOMENTS ATHLETICS NTHUSIASM in intramural games has been the key-note in the ac- tivities of 1920-21 season. This year especially, class spirit has been lively and class competition keen. This year's Freshman Class, the e? men as well as the women, proved as energetic a class as the campus W0 has seen, contributing abundant Class spirit and displaying an aptitude for all lines of sports. First in order of events was the volley-ball tournament. The Sophomores and Freshmen earned the right to play in the final round after beating the Juniors and Seniors in some rousing matches. The Sophomores triumphed over the F reshmen in a three-game match which created many thrills for the gallery. The scores were 15-13, 5-15 and 4-15. But the ambitious Freshmen were not so easily van- quished. They challenged the Sophomores to another contest, but the Sophomores again emerged-this time full-Hedged Champions with scores 5-15, 14-15 in their favor. We are proud of the fact that practically every girl on the campus participated in the squash and tennis tournaments of the season. The squash tournament proved an exciting feature this year. Frances Kling of the Sophomore class and Madelaine Steffen of the junior class played their way into the finals. Undoubtedly one of the most interesting matches of the tournament and one that brought forth the most enthusuastic gallery was that between Frances Kling and Alice Lathrop of the Freshman class in the semi-hnal round. After a mighty battle Miss Kling won, the scores being 21-16, 22-20. In the final round between Miss Kling and Miss Steffen the scores were 21-1, 21-10, Miss Steffen popping the lucky stroke. Another event of the season was the indoor baseball tournament which was ushered in by some snappy inter-class games. The Seniors and the Sophomores proved to be the heaviest hitters and put up a lively championship game. The Sophomores again carried off the crown but the Seniors were close at their heels with a score of 18-16 in a nine inning game. The Spring tennis tournament is now well under way and the F reshmen again promise to be strong contenders. Tennis is one of the most popular sports on the campus judging from the enthusiasts who frequent the courts at o a. m. several times a week. The mixed doubles tournament should be very interesting this year, there being many strong teams in progress. Miss Heilman, head of the Physical Education Department for Women, and Miss Nilson, assistant, have ably directed the season's program. What proved to be quite an innovation was the stressing of volley-ball and indoor-base ball as 70
