But if the sport continues popular, as it bids fan to do, Reed should in a few seasons be able to boast aVarsity ctew that will be able to compete in the fastest company. Possi- bllity of purchasing an eight-oared shell in the near future has already been mentioned, and if this year,s experiment proves successful, action Will undoubtebly de taken. At the date of going to press n0 regatta has been held, but a Reed crew will undoubtedly be seen in action against the Portland Rowing Club this spring. WomenWs Sports HE work of the Department of Physical Education for Women has been a true exposition of the old statement Hfor the many Who need it most rather than for the few Who need it least? Unattended by publicity of words, spectacles, or any sounding of brass or tinkling of cymbals, almost every woman 1n the college is finishing the year With a high degree of profielency in one or more of several sports.

Page Eighty-four Reed team was first year material. The Oregon. City relay, premier event of the spring semester, was staged w1th all of the traditional ceremony of years gone by; and 1n every respect 1t lived up to past performances. The freshman team of twelve husky milers completely outran the best talent of theother three classes, and romped home with a safe lead over the Junior crew. Ths sophomores finished third and the seniors, who four years back had TTcleaned up the school, were forced to be content with last place. Tennls ENNIS has never failed to rank high in spring athletic favor. This year two tournaments have been staged with unusual success. The first was an interclass affair, which corn- menced with the good weather early in May and continued throughout the month. It was still in progress as the GriHin went to press, and the winner has not yet been declared The second tournament to attract Reed net players was the Open Tennis Tournament, in which students of both class and faculty were eligible. An unusually large number of players have taken part in the play. 'With a number of last years tennis stars back in school, and with several contributions from this years freshman class, Varsity tennis seems to be in for a banner season. SteHen, Blew, Durham, White and Brockway of last seasons team, and Platt, a freshman, showed up well in early season practice. Two matches have been scheduled, with the University of Oregon and Oregon Agricultural College, and negotiations were opened with Willamette Uni- versity for the 1922 schedule. Crew NO Chronicle of athletic activity for the current year can overlook the adoption of rowing as a new major sport.

Whereas basketball was once the only sport indulged in, now a variety of seven sports makes up the intra-mural pro- gram. Interclass competition has been had, and a program of games has been run of? in each sport with remarkable dispatch. The late fall permitted a long season of hockey, which was followed by volley ball indoors. Newcombe, a new game on the campus, came next, with squash going on simultaneously. Spring weather brought on indoor baseball, and tennis rackets were dragged out of the moth balls for a Vigorous season. Another new sport that has been growing in popularity is quoits. In fact quoits promises to usurp baseball as a favorite. Hiking has been stimulated and regularized at the behest of Madelaine Steffen, who has been using the physical efficiency of women indicated by a ten-mile hike as the laboratory experimentation for her thesis. The Freshmen have been victors in both volley ball and Newcombe, and as this goes to press were leading the Juniors in indoor baseball. Sibyl Lindell and Alice Laughton are at the top of the list of squash players. 5;: '4'. 44:33:. . 4,: 44-: e--v 4.. 4.4.4 55;? . y . way A4,.a4x64qwtmewgt-E7mtf, 1,444 9.3-, 75:41 m?ezfg .4 4:4; 4 A4 4 i i 5, Page Eigh ty-s ix
