It also passes judgment on the selection of boys to receive these awards, made by the coach. The Finance Board takes care of the income and expenses. All athletic equipment, bus fares, opponents' expenses, officials' fees, and police fees must be paid by this board. FAITH WAYNE IEADS WEST SIDE GIRLS IN ATHIETIC ACTIVITIES Completing its third year of organization, the Girls' Athletic Association has had a very suc- cessful season. In the fall, organized soccer was played, and on one after- noon a week, organized hikes were taken. Following these ac- tivities, the basketball season was opened. Color teams were first organized, then class teams. From these teams, the varsity squad was chosen. Sixteen girls composed the team. Those re- ceiving the honor were: Barbara Ford, co-captain, Hazel Top- ping, co-captaing Louise Moore, Barbara Sanders, Frances Allen, Isabel Brady, Mary Helen Boyd, Helen Jensen, Faith Wayne, Ro- wena Jamison, Eileen Fites, Jenevieve Schweidler, Jane Ad- ams, Lois Ver Hoeven, Ruby Chaffee, and Ruth Holden. The annual varsity-alumnae game was not played as there was an influenza epidemic on the scheduled date. G. A. A.

MINOR SPORTS BASEBALL REIGNS FIRST IN MINOR ATHLETICS Since 1932 the closing days of March have brought close to a score and a half of prospective batsmen and lielders out for dia- mond activities. Boasting an excellent record during the six years of baseball's existence at West Side, March 27 proved no exception to the rule, as nearly twenty-five base- ball players answered the call of Coach Dailey. Losing only one of last year's hrst ten, Dailey expects to con- tinue his winning ways with a line baseball season. This year's mound staff will probably con- sist of Collins, Riley, Brady, and Douglas with Bill VanCamp and Jerome Hill on the receiving end. A fine infield composed of Buttons, Marsh brothers, Brady, Riley, and Douglas, backed up by a likely looking outfield of McAfee, Friend, Shively. and Brady, will complete the Scarlet roster. I I 1 I INTRAMURAL ATHLETES The intramural athletics, for the athletic minded boys unable to compete with the varsity teams for various reasons, was under the direction of Carl Ham- mer. Basketball games were sched- uled between the several teams, organized under various senior captains. The captains of the teams were Lewis, Heine, Ham, VerHoeven, Puckett, T u r l e y, and Hamilton. No accurate rec- ord was kept of the games, be- cause they were played entirely for the boys' enjoyment. GOLF AT W. L. March 26th brought eight golfers, with clubs pointing to the state tourney, out for the open- ing rounds of the course. Since 1930, when J. P. Wayne origin- ated the golf team at West Side, the Red Devils have set the pace for the remaining teams in the Mid West Conference, dropping that title but twice. TUCKER TEACHES TENNIS Since 1928, Leslie Tucker has coached the Red Devil Tennis team without falling below a sec- ond place in the Mid West Con- ference meet. This year the team was re-or- ganized and Mr. Tucker is look- ing forward to a good season. Otto Steele, Grant Sutcliffe, re- turning from last year's team, and several seniors will compose this year's Scarlet racket com- bination. WEST SIDE GOES IN EOR TRACK Coach Dailey has several meets scheduled for the initial year of track's existence here in the Scarlet camp, among which are a three-way meet fCraw- fordsville, West Side, and jeffj, a six-way meet with six of the Mid-West Conference teams, and several meets with individ- ual schools such as Rensselaer, Brook, and jeff. m
