This year the person winning rewards her color with ;en points toward the color cup. But—if you didn't sign up to be in the tournament you can still play at any time you wish. Paddles for the game ave furnished by the athletic association and ping-pong balls are available in each building to use in games. Let's go every ping-pong player! Make your game a good one and "keep the balls bouncing" for your aim is to enjoy the game and end with your color on top!
Our Team Goes Forward It's hard .o realize that basketball season is nearly over . . . when you look at the A. A. calendar you will see that in about two more weeks we will have ou- last game the season, this being our only home game! Varsity members are continuing to work hard at practices to be prepared for their contests. Meanwhile have you noticed .he number of girls who are playing in general practices? That freshman group really looks active, and so this is a challenge for all upperclassmen for you to be on your toes if you expect to have your team win in the roundrobin tournament games which will take place within the classes! Again points will be chalked on the color cup sco-e for the winning color. Remember green and white won the basketball tournament las. year. Will they do it again'.'
Golf Instructions For You ... "Hoppy" really is eager to help you with golf instructions on Tuesday nights, and Miss Her can teach you a lot if you go to the locker room on Wednesday nigh.s. When the warm spring days come it will be to yoUT advantage to be "up" on all golf knowledge . . . We have access to one of the finest courses around and we don't even have to own a set of chilis! No, all we have to do, though, is to be able to play the game and SO here's the opportunity to "get in shape."
They Swam To Victory ... Congratulations Red and White on winning the interclass swimming meet Monday night. Even though the meet had to be postponed after scheduled several weeks ago, girls who participated got in their required number of practices, and showed a "fast" bit of swimming for their teams. Some of those green and white team girls looked mighty promising for varsity squad! And speaking of varsity . . . that's the next step on ;he swimming calendar because we're looking forward to having several meets booked with o.her colleges. Scheduled for spring quarter which incidentally is not so far off. is^ the intercollegiate telegraphic swimming meet for which Karmville S. T. C. is hostess. Make way, you swimmers, we're planning for the best of records eve-, and this means a lot of practicing, timing and working for speed.

Virginia last F-iday, the thirteenth. These four exper. players are on their nation-wide round robin tournament trip. Because of an arm Injury Kovacs was substituted by Lester Stoefen who suffered 18 defeats which puts Kovacs sort of "behind the eight ball"! Bu. it won't take this righting matcher long to wo-k back to the top. He's a very confident young man who qui. the amateurs because he became disgusted with the treatment received from the U. S. L. T. A. He does have a chance, we migh: say—before hurting his arm he beat Budge 4 out of 5 matches.
