. y. Am i ' 444E444 AA;- gaey . . ugse-Ei Anna Nilson has had a large number of students in her classes in aesthetic dancing, assisted by Ruth Chambers and Marjorie Campbell. 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

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.
