Handball BARS ago handball was not very popular in the athletic curriculum of the School of Agriculture, but in recent years students have taken a much greater interest in the game. Handball has an advantage over other sports in several ways. Since it is an indoor game the season is unlimited for the school students and they can partake of this form of exercise from early fall until they leave in the spring. Although it can be made a very strenuous game when players of equal ability play the game, it can be played by people who do not have very strong physiques, and who cannot take part in cross country run- ning, wrestling and boxing, Where an unusually strong physique is the first essential. Two, three, or four people are able to play the game in the same court. It is very easy to arrange a game for such a small number and it does away with the trouble of bringing together a large group such as is necessary in basket-ball. Exercise is the first essential in doing successful school work. The body and mind cannot be separated. Unless a person is in good physical condition the mind cannot do the most eilicient work. Handball along with other athletic sports indirectly helps us to think more clearly. -M. DANKERS. e r, few. - be fa A'-e 4- -----e e Page One Hundred N ineleen

K1 The program started with a pep fest in the auditorium at one-thirty, when S li the student body gathered there to compete for highest honors in yelling. After much ' cheering, interspersed with selections by the band, the various classes marched to the N6 gymnasium, the band all the while playing martial airs. HN At the gymnasium the group was divided into the different classes, each with its VX class colors waving over its head. Throughout the afternoon the band played peppy lil' numbers while the cheer leaders led the crowd in rousing yells and the spirit of excite- K41 ment and enthusiasm lasted until the final score was announced. ,Xl The first event, the mile run was called at 2:15 and the events were run off accord- ' 'N ing to schedule. This year five new records were made in the boys' events--the shot put, 4 37 feet, 1 inch, by George Wilkinsg the half mile run, 2 minutes, 424 seconds, by John ,N Sullivang the shuttle race, 14 4X5 seconds, by Greseth, Friese, Garbe, and Winzerg the ' 80 yard swim, S0 21 S seconds, by Robert Black, and the quarter mile run, 1 minute, 2 2 f 5 seconds, by Elbert Kindseth. KJ The seniors won the field meet with a score of 64 points. The juniors came sec- Q ond with a score of 40 points while the relatively small class of intermediates scored A 38 points. The Homecoming basketball game in which the Aggies played Bethel lil: Academy and won by a score of 35 to 24 was indeed one of the many successful E features of the day. -MARTIN DANKERS.

Q' Y? 1 RESTLING at the School of Agriculture has again taken a stride forward. f This sport has become very popular. Every evening the boys can be found in ' the training rooms developing the art of clever wrestling. , I L X Wrestling is considered one of the most strenous sports. It is different than most Q If i other sports in that each man must depend entirely upon himself when on the mat. He .QQ cannot rely on his team-mates to help him through when in a tight place. It also is one , of the finest sports for developing the body. When. in action, almost every muscle l is put into play. Wrestling also develops balance, speed, and the ability to think quickly, aj Rl above all it develops real sportsmanship. lv' . . l . lfbxl This season over 120 men reported regularly for practice. There have been a great number of fine men developed into outstanding wrestlers.

It is with deep regret that I leave l them in the spring. 1 X 3 -WALLACE MILLER. ly' W jyfl .
