GOLF VVhile some of the sports were hurt by the forced delay at the beginning of the year, golf, which is not practiced at school, was not. The matches, however, were delayed for some time. In the matches between the schools, Gilbert Davis, the only letterman, showed himself to considerable advantage, while the team won a third place. TENNIS The tennis team, which also had a very late start, was able, under the apt supervision of Mr. KlacCurdy, to forge ahead and bring back a second-place tie to be chalked up to its good record. Of the six boys on the tennis teams, five were able to gain letters for excellent playing. Due to the late start, there will be interclass matches held in the spring, a fact pleasing to those who could not participate last fall. ls I ff ex Page 29

Then for a second time they went out to vic- toryg and in a game full of action and over- flowing with the thrills of football, they fairly mopped up the field with the Paseo Bears. The team now had the hope of further vic- tories in their minds. Thus they went out on the following Saturday to defeat Central. But Cen- tral must not have recognized the fact that we were supposed to win, because they won by some margin of points, causing Southwest to chalk up another defeat upon the record for the year.

But, then, there were those who consoled themselves with the argument that not everybody can beat Westport and Paseo, and Southwest had done that. W'hat of our conquering second team at this time?

The captains having drawn tournament cards which stated the name, color, and schedule of their own and opponents' tribes, the teams entered the field, and played the three games each in a round robin tournament. On the field was a tempor- ary first-aid station attended by Miss Elma Dreyer and student assistants. The girls were afterwards welcomed to the cafeteria, decorated with trailing pumpkin vines and other symbols of the harvest season, by the president of the Squad Leaders' Club in full Indian chief regalia, and listened to addresses by Mr. Monsees and Mr. H. G. Danford, director of health and physical edu- cation in Kansas City, Missouri.
