Cheerleading There was much comment during the football sea- son concerning the good spirit of the loyal Syracuse rooters. Credit should be given to Jane Whitney and her four assistants, who proved to be on able squad in leading the women ' s cheering section lost fall. The enthusiasm enabled Dorothy Reydell and Jane Gardner, seniors, and Ervana Cummings and Nancy Taylor, juniors to successfully help Jane Whitney with the introduction of several new cheers. Tryouts for the squad were held last spring In Slocum Hall. At the Annual Spring Frolic, the five girls were chosen from those who had survived the final cuts. Hockey The main event of the season for hockey, under Manager Leonora Jones, wos a ploydoy tournament in October, to which Wells, Cornell, and Elmlro col- leges were Invited. Starting out as an elimination contest, the tourna- ment ended up as a round-robin meet, since the four colleges were too closely matched for a decision by the original method. Under the coaching of Miss Boll, the Syracuse co-eds finally tied with Cornell. During the season the co-eds held several tourno- ments among themselves. The seniors joined forces with the faculty on one occasion, to defect the under- classmen by a score of 1-0. Top row; N. Toylor. E. Cummings. J. Gardner. J. Whitney. 6sen : D. Reydell.
