day afternoon on Nebraska field, with
Coach Schulte in charge. Fifty fresh

which was held at every school in the

tiny dash, which Lloyd ran in ten sec
onds flat, featured the meet.
The work of Parks, who threw the
shot 4t feet, 7 1-2 inches and high
jumped 5 feet, 6 1-2 inches, was ex
ceptionally good. Frazier also won
two firsts, taking first place in the
polo vau't and javelin throw. He also
took third honors in the discus. Trex
ler. star sprinter, captured first place
in the "two-twenty" and the quarter
mile dash. " Coach Schulte expressed
himself as being satisfied with the
performances in the meet.

the freshman flash, who had already
run two races.

REVIVE STUDENT
IN DUMB BELLS
WITH NEW BADGES
Since the arrival of the new gold
badges the Dumbells have been work
ing more and more in the lime light
of athletic circles for girls. The
Dumbells organized over a year ago
under the colorless name of "Nea
Phys-Eds." The "Phys-Eds" chris
tened them soon. The alleged excuse
for the organization was to promote
sportsmanship. The real reason was
to promote "feeds" and picnics.
Who the Dumbells are no one really
knows. Miss Louise Pound is the
most prominent member, however.
But any blacksuited girl who insists
she would rather be a "near" than a
real "phya ed" Is eligible. Dumbells
were active in selling tickets for W.
A. A. dance drama. The society has
a fair sprinkling of "N" swaters in its
membership and takes an active part
in all athletic affairs for women.
Syracuse University The out going
W. S. O. A. board at Syracuse made
the following recommendations to
take effect next year: (1) notifying
women of offenses at the end of each
week before a report is made to W.
S. G. A. (2) extending movie permis
sions to 11:15 o'clock. (3) giving
house presidents the power to grant
over-night permissions. (4) giving all
women two 12 o'clock permissions per
week with permission to go anywhere
on the approved list. (5) allowing
freshmen three or four extra permis
sions a semester. (6) University
dances not counting as nights out

GO-EDS HIKE ALMOST
THREE THOUSAND MILES
Ninety Nebraska girls hiked 2,993
miles this semester, averaging 331
miles Der girl. Florence Price, more
ambitious than the rest, has walked
178 miles. Othelis Uuler tried to
keep up with her and has 103 miles to
her credit. Minnie ' Schlictlng has
contented herself with 98 miles, but
then, there is Btlll time until the end
of the semester. Thirty-seven girls
have over forty miles.
It is possible to make fifty W. A. A.
points per semester by hiking. Twenty-five
points are awarded for the
first forty miles. Then for every addi
tional ten miles five points are award
ed, until fifty points are reached. Be
yond that, the hiking is done without
credit for the pure love of the sport.
For sport is surely 13 bacon, eggs,
pancakes 'n everything ooh! Skin-ney!
Womens9 Athletics
Wide
A resume of the complete program
of W. A. A. sports for the year 1922-22
follows :
Soccer Francis Gable, '24, sport
leader. Over one hundrad girls en
thusiastically pitched into the first
sport on the W. A. A. list and made
the soccer season a successful one.
The sophomores defeated their older
sisters, the seniors, in the finals, thus
earning the right to have their num
erals engraved on the cup. The new
girls' athletic field, east of Social
Science building, was initiated by
soccer.
Hockey Marie Snavely, '24, sport
leader. Brand-new, real, field-hockey
clubs were the feature of the hockey
season. While heavy clubs mef.nt
more bruised shins and smashed fing
ers, the game was better than when
played in the time of unstable sticks.
The fteuiors turned tables on tne
sophomores and what started out to
be a tie affair, wound up in favor of
Use seniors.
Tennis Pearl Safford, '24, sport
leader. Cora Miller retained her ten
nis championship for the third year,
after winning the all-university girls'
singles last fall. Mannie Roberts, last
years runner-up, came out second
again in the tourney. The junior
team, made up of Zoe Zchalek, Dor
othy Teal and Jessie Hiett, substitute,
defeated the seniors, Nannie Roberts
and Annabelle Ranslem, in the inter
class finals. Two spring tourneys are
now under way, with the first round
of the singles played off.
Fence Discarded As Economy
Measure-Saves Lawn Mowers
Come all ye Weary Willies and
sandwich hounds, Gather on the Uni
versity campus and peal your oranges
in peace. Democracy has had its way.
The last barrier to a college career
his bean removed. Our fence Is
down, condemned to destruction by
the immutable law of the Fire De
partment. Those of us who have looked so
long at the kindly old grating, those
of us who liked the spirit of seclu
sion it seemed to offer, can mourn
without redress. The fence was im
practicable. This alone was enough
to condemn it. The fence was dan
gerous (it matters not that this little
fact has been overlooked for only
twenty years). It must be destroyed.
The Seniors
Have
Started It
Telegraphic Track Meet.
Cover A
Scope During Year
Basketball Eleanor Snell, 22, sport
leader. Basketball proved the popular
sport of the year. One hundred and
seventeen girls practised during the
season. An exciting "Monte Carlo"
tournament of thirteen teams was won
by the "Dark Blues," captained by
Lois Shepherd. The seniors won the
tirst-team class tournament for the
third year. The sophs won the sec
ond tfam tournament. It was a most
enthusiastic season.
Dance-Drama Dorothy Whelpley,
sport leader. Many and long were the
practice hours spent In preparation
for the dance-drama which was given
April 27 at the Temple. Thirty-five
girls took part in the excellent pro
duction. Of the $150 proceeds, $100
was given to the Grace Coppock fund.
Track Ruby Damme, sport leader.
This year's track meet "had it all
over" track meets of former years.
Five state records were broken four
of 'em by freshmen, too.
Swimming Lois Pederson, sport
leader. The sophomores won the
meet with 525 points. The seniors
brought up the rear with 140 points
An exhibition of diving by Neal Phil
ip, captain of the Husker swimming
team, was enjofed.
Baseball Lauda Newlin, sport lead
er. Fifty-seven girls have been play
ing the national game for the past
six weeks. The final game, to de
cide the championship, will be held
Friday afternoon. The tournament
gomes have been using the new base
rla'es.
There is now nothing to impede our
vision. We can watch the street-cars
and view the passing truckloads of
squealing hogs without interference.
Peaceful droves of cows may munch
the grass from our lawn and ruminate
in the shade of the Administration
Building, unhindered. (Can't you hear
sofne sparkling co-ed twitter, "Oh
Bull"?.. It seemed scarcely democrat
ic anyway to keep the animals from
that which is -their Inherent right.
And at the same time I cannot em
phasize this too strongly at the
same time we have knocked the fire
demon for a goal.
Think too of the economic gain in
this. We have been accustomed to

BACK TO NATURE
MOTTO OF TWENTY
VIGOROUS W. A. A's.
About twenty members of W. A. A.
went to Crete May 13 14, for the an
nual ramping jaunt that is listed in
the tradition book. The week-end
was jammed with rowing, hiking and
cooking cut of doors. A few of the
braver ones took a chilly dip in the
icy Blue and came out understanding
what tlie "icy Blue" meant in early
May.
Some of the more ambitious ones
hiked back to Lincoln to add to their
mileage. Some who went in a car
had an accident and were forced ta
board the train in true camping garb.
Bacon and eggs cooked in the open
was the steady diet, but no one ob
jected. The only "kicking" was done when
it was time to roll up the blankets for
home.
