U.M.S.U. U.M.S.U. MEN'S CURLING U.M.S.U. MEN'S TENNIS NIVERSITY curling achieved both popularity and success this year, under the very capable presidency of Grand Watson. Aided by continued cold weather, the entire schedule was completed on hard ice. Of the eight faculties com- peting Arts was the winner with 32 points and Science a very close second with 31. In the University Porte Markle competition the Science rink of Vlfatson, Howden. Cornice, Brown, went through the schedule undefeated. Twelve rinks were entered in the city bonspiel and enjoyed varying measures of success. Although no cups were won, Johnny McDiarmid proved the ability of university curlers by bringing his rink into the finals of the Free Press and the semi-finals of the Alexander Memorial. CO-ED CURLING HE curling this year has been fairly successful. Immediately after Christmas each faculty representative was informed of try-outs for U.M.S.U. and to have her best curlers present. For weeks the girls curled together under their coach. Grant Watson. Finally, just before the Bonspiel. the U.M.S.U. rink was chosen, consisting of two girls from Wesley-Olive Glinz and Eliza- beth Boughton-and two girls from Agricultural College-Ruth Casselman and Patricia Reid. These four did their best to uphold Varsity in the Bon- speil. We would like to have had two rinks entered this year, but there was not sufiicient material. Meanwhile the Inter-faculty games have been going on with Agricultural, Wesley and Medicals tying for first place. OLLOWING the annual fall tournament held in each of the faculties, an Inter- faculty competition was planned and organized in early October. under the guidance of Harold Stinson. After an interesting competition in which two representatives of each faculty participated. Ken- neth Gunn of Science finally emerged victorious, scoring his second consecutive win in this event. Although this branch of sport has not developed as rapidly as the number' of its followers would war- rant, it is to be hoped that U.M.S.U. tournaments of this type will prove a forerunner of inter-Uni- versity competition. U.M.S.U. CO-ED TENNIS Puge Thirty-threw: HE tennis tournament con- ducted by the U.M.S.U. women's committee proved two things-flrst, that the University of Manitoba has players of outstanding calibre, and. secondly, that every year a greater interest is taken in this form of sport. Two winners were declared among the girls of each faculty and these competed for the championship. Mrs. Ann Coombes of St. .Iohn's College finished triumphant with Ruth Mitchell of M.A.C. the runner-up. It is to be hoped that next year we will be able to have inter-collegiate matches.

Maclienzie HIS year the members of the Co-ed Track Team left no stone unturned to win the coveted Rutherford trophy. The girls, forming one of the strongest teams that has ever represented Manitoba. literally ran away with their events to take seven Hrst places out of a possible nine and to win the trophy with fifty-three points, thirty-five more than the combined efforts of Alberta and Saskatchewan. Further honors were bestowed upon the team when Genevieve Johns. the outstanding performer of the day. annexed the individual cham- pionship by winning all the sprints. Out of the tive Co-ed records broken the Manitoba girls were re- sponsible for four and shattered them by no small amount. To go into the merits of each member of the team would take considerable space. but with such stars as Aldis Thorlakson, Genevieve Johns, Gertrude Fuller. Mary Cooperband, and Doreen Fal- coner on hand next year, another win is positively assured for Manitoba. NASMUCH as the basket- ball team this year has received five new recruits into its fold, the girls soon adapted themselves and the team work was splendid. In the Inter-collegiate game with Alberta the team went down lighting, for, at the last few minutes of play. the team had only four players on the floor. This year Manitoba gave Alberta the hardest battle since Alberta carried the honors west. losing only by a narrow margin. The team came out second best in the City League. being nosed out in a close overtime game with Y.W.C,A. Page Thrrtu-1:L'o
