A. A. Silver Loving Cups Awarded Win ners of Sorority, Rainbow and Inter-Class Meets. Competitive sports for women have advanced from the experimental stage to a solid and successful basis in the University of Nebraska. More than thirty pet cent of the girls reg istered in all colleges are taking part in some form of athletics. The Wom an's Athletic association, which was organized in 1916, has successfully taken charge of all sporting contests since that time. At the beginning of last jear, soccer-football was introduced for the first time at Nebraska and the girls developed remarkable skill in the sport Three fiercely contested games were played without a single score on either side. Twenty girls won places on these teams and were admitted to the Athletic association. This year soccer-football was omitted on account of the general disorganized condition and the enforced vacation which came in the middle of the soccer sea son. The girl athletes have stated that the game will be taken up again next year. The Athletic association has made annual events of the three girls' basketball tournaments, inter-sorority. Rainbow and inter-class. In these contests one hundred and fifty girls competed for honors in real basketball games, well played by closely matched teams, fairly ref ereed by competent officials and well managed by the Athletic association. These co-ed athletes have shown their ability to play excellent basketball and have exhibited a type of true varsity sportsmanship. Sororities Play for Cup. The inter-sorority tournament was unusually successful this year with all but one Greek organization en tered. The Delta Zetas won the cham pionship by defeating, in the semi finals, by a four-to-three score the fast Gamma Phi Beta quintet in the most closely contested game of the tournament, and in the finals by handing the Delta Gammas the light end of a sixteen-to-seven score. Re markably good team work and indi vidual playing was shown in this tournament and winners and losers alike deserve credit for first-class work. Janet Thornton, Ruth Lind sey. Norma Grumann, Helen Black, Dorothy Wright and Idnaha Kiefer played for the Delta Gammas, and Gertrude Desautelle, Martha Krog xnann, Sara Surber, Helen Hewett and Sadie Rotholz played for the Delta Zeta?. In the Rainbow tournament the Whiles defeated the Yellows in the semi-finals by a twelve-to-four score and took in the finals the count of the Greens by a seventeen-to-six score. Individual play stood out in this tour nament also and some excellent team work was shown. The White team was made up of the following players: Ethel Hoagland, Gladys Braddock. Claire Kula and Annabel Ram si ay; the Greens, Ruth Fickes, Irene Cul len, Mary Shepherd, Mary Herzing, Faith Murfin. Classes Play Fast Games. The inter-class tournament was the fastest and most closely contested of all. In the first round the sopho mores won an easy victory from the juniors with a score of twenty-seven to twelve, and the freshmen worked harder to score twenty-eight while the seniors scored twenty. In the finals the sophomores met the freshmen and a real battle was fought. The sopho mores triumphed by a score of four teen to ten, proving their endurance a little greater than that of the fresh men girls. The Woman's Athletic association awarded a silver loving cup to the winning Delta Zetas, Mrs. Jessie Beghtol Lee awarded silver friend ship bracelets to' the Whites, and Mrs. R. G. Clapp presented a silver loving rup to the Athletic association to be awarded annually to the winners of the class tournament.
