MORE TENNIS COURTS?
Tennis is a democratic game. Most
anyone can learn to play and enjoy
it. This is not the case with most
outdoor games. To play fo otball with
any degree of success one must be
strong and brawny. Only the physical
superior have much chance at basket
ball. Track work is strenuous and not
many have the endurance to make
much of it. These sports are essen
tially for the strong and they are fol
lowed very largely by those who really
do not need the physical training, de
velopment and exercise.
But the weak and the strong alike
can play tennis. Of course not all
can become expert tennis players but
the nature of the game is such that
one need not be an expert to derive
great benefit and enjoyment from it.
More than that it is the one outdoor
game in which the girls can take an
active part and compete with the
boys. It is a game that offers exercise
commensurate with Ihe strength of the
person playing it. tl affords an oppor
tunity for exercise for those who have
little other chance to get it.
But this great game which is so
popular at other schools has little
chance at Nebraska. In the good old
days when there was but a few hun
dred students they had two courts.
Now when we have three thousand
there are still two courts and unless
the students take some definite action
there are likely to be lut two courts
for years to come. At the present
time only tight people can play at one
time. We ought to have room for fifty.
Teh people who play tennis should
perfect an organization that will have
enough power behind it that its de
mands cannot be ignored. The time
has come when the supporters of this
great game must press their claims
and demand that they be given recog
nition in this school.
the two courts are already occupied or
men soon come and watch the frantic
battings of the feminine players with
impatience or disgust. So the would
be player must practice at odd hours
say 6 in the morning or 12 at night.
In fact a girl has to fight for every
thing In the athletic line.
The girls certainly contribute their
share toward athletics. In the fall
they support the football team with all
the loyalty that one could desire;
they come out to basketball and track;
they even give half the program at the
Annual Gymnastic Exhibition, with its
accompanying rehearsals and expendi
tures for costumes and colored ties,
whose receipts go exclusively to the
boys.
At last some of the "powers that
be"' have seen fit to award the winning
Sophomore basketball team "X"
blankets such as the football ""boys
have. Hurrah for the start!
But that doesn't mean that we have
tennis courts nor room to practice
hockey, track, and basketball yet.
How that the Regents are buying tip
land and planning for a larger and
bigger Nebraska, are they going to
neglect the girls? In the 'immortal"
words of C. I. Rein. "What are you
going to do about it?" R. S.

THE FORUM
When boys go in for athletics they
know that they will achieve some
thing beside mere physical develop
ment. If they make some team they
are lauded, sent around the country to
compete with other teams luxuriate in
blankets, fobs, balmaccans and what
not and generally maee to feel that
they are having some reward foi their
hard work.
But what happens when a girl goes
out for athletics? She is shoved off
into some corner of the gymnasium. 1.
.. if the boys don't happen to want
that particular corner at that particu
lar time (and they usually do); so she
waits until later, only to be ousted by
writhing wrestlers. Even her long
treasured noon hour has now been
taken by the faculty.
This same story is repeated when
a girl goes out to play tennis; either

VIEW BOOK WEEK
You all know we have advertised our beautiful View
Book of the University very strongly, yet the sale has
not come up to our expectations.
Now every student surely wants one of these books,
and for this week only we are going to offer a special in.
ducement to get them started. There are 16 nice views,
6' 2 by 8l2 bound in a book 11 by 13, and the price is 65c,
which is reasonable; but each student who brings this
"ad" with him, will receive one of these books at 15c less.
Remember the price goes back to 65c after this week
