FEMININTTY IN ATHLETICS lncluding all women's sports, both in active and theoretical phases, the women's physical educa- tion department of the University presented this year an array of activities for upper and under classrnen. The department is under the direction of Gladys Taggart, director, and Evelyn Hinton. Both are widely known in this district for their work in physical education and women's sports. Classes offered by them included hockey, tennis and badminton, golf, swimming, dancing, basketball, archery, and horseback riding. A The Women's Athletic Association was active this year in giving University women an oppor- tunity for extra-curricular sports, and participated in local and state-wide events. Officers for the group were Betty Gensch, president, Barbara La Rue Engle, vice president, lda Nelle Barnhart, secretary: Margaret lones, treasurer: and Dorothy Strickland, recorder of points. The organization was hostess to the state W. A. A. convention last October. Approximately 200 delegates from 22 Kansas schools attended. Miss Gensch, state president, presided at all busi- ness meetings tsee opposite pagel and social functions during the two-day meet. Beulah Bar- rett was general chairman for the occasion. Act- Sports Directors Taggart and Hinton ing directly under the W. A. A. was the Intra- mural Council, which had charge of all women's intramural sports. Headed by Marguerite Mc- Cluer, it was composed of a representative from each sorority and the Barbs. V Social functions of the association included mixed co-recreational playnights, the annual party for freshmen women, a dinner in December clos- ing the hockey and badminton seasons, a spread and skate sponsored by the rifle squad, and the playday in the spring given for prospective Uni- versity students. The season was climaxed by the annual spring formal banquet, when the new offi- cers were installed and final awards given. . . . . stress extra-curricular activities . . . .

COURTIN' and COURSIN' . . . swing high, swing low . Tennis and golf occupied much interest during the spring sports season. At left is Bill Brinnon in action on the recently completed cement tennis courts. His opponent was Harry Corbin. Pictured at top center is the tennis squad composed of Cfront rowl Harry Corbin, Eugene Morgan, Stanley Diamond, Bill Brinnon, George Hinkle, fback row? Bill McDowell, Clark Ahlberg, and Morris Carpenter. Shown at the bottom center is the University golf team whose members are Jillian Buser, Dick Price, captain, Bob Watt, Charles Black, and ,lim Armour. Willard Johnson is not pictured. At the right is Dick Price taking a practice swing on the Crestview course. lTl-l one letterman available, the Shocker tennis team was greatly handicapped dur- ing the l937 competition. Headed by Bill Brinnon, captain, the team took on opponents weekly during the last two months of this semester. The initial encounter of the University tennis season resulted in a 5 to 1 victory over the Kansas State College at Manhattan. The Shockers took each singles match, but split with the Kansas Aggies in doubles. Captain Brinnon beat Eckart, George Hinkle defeated Foreman, Clark Ahlberg defeated Godfrey, and Morris Carpenter won over Foot in singles play. A trip to Norman, Okla., was made the follow- ing week. There the team played the University of Oklahoma. The undefeated Sooner team, led by Bill Martin, swept through all six matches for a 6 to U victory over the University squad. Eugene Morgan replaced Hinkle for the Oklahoma play. lt was customary during the spring sports sea- son for the golf and tennis teams to travel to- gether as they engaged in dual meets at the various schools throughout this section of the country. The two groups were under the direc- tion of Athletic Director Albert l. Gebert, who arranged a well rounded sports schedule in these fields. l2ll ACK of experienced men placed this year's golf team at a disadvantage. Only Dick Price and Charles Black remained from the Central Conference championship team of 1936. Bob Watt, lulian Buser, and lim Armour, all lacking previous intercollegiate competition, completed the team. Under these conditions the squad did not hope for such a strictly victorious season as the champion- ship teams of the last two seasons had enjoyed. The first play of the season was with Kansas State. An easy victory resulted with Captain Price turning in low score while winning over Hays, the Aggies' top man. Watt defeated l-locker, Black defeated Kellogg, and Buser won over Wesches to complete the matches which were played on a windy afternoon at Crestview. However, the tables were turned the following week at the University of Oklahoma. The Shock- ers lost every match to a Big Six group in rounds played on the Twin Hills course at Oklahoma City. Other schools scheduled for the Shocker golfers included Emporia Teachers College, Washburn College, and the University of Kansas. The sea- son's climax was reached in the annual Central Conference play the day before the annual C. I. A. C. track and field meet.
