Though the cult of badminton has been vogue among the collegians during several years, it had never before been so popular as it became this year. It is a game that does not gain publicity so readily as do many otherseperhaps because the players do not count the notice of the press as a value of the play. Whatever may be the reason for the lack of oral and printed discussion by the analysts, and despite this lack, it is a recreation that attracts and holds the interest of goodly numbers of the students. Your observer hopes that it Will not be construed as a violation of the proprieties 0f the game for the said observer to report that those especially active on the badminton courts this year were: Ruth Beakley, Betty Melcer, Marguerite Gaines, Adele Kirsner, Mary Elaine Pung, Lilian Erlich, Gloria Matyer, Ophelia Onderdonk, LeClaire Leslie, Louise Latham, Mary Dennis, Margaret Mullens, Mary Dever, Nancy Wilson and J ere Wilson. To Adele Kirsner goes the distinction of championship in this year's tournament.
