GYM NOTES.

been postponed until March 17. The
cause of postponement was lack of
practice of the events owing to the
gymnasium being occupied by the
Buttermakers also the society basket
ball games, Delian vs. Palladian ana
Union, which will be played in the
gymnasium March 10. The five
events for the indoor pentathlon are
running high Jcmp, pole vault, shot
put, three standing broad jumps, and
quarter-mile potato race. During the
Buttermakers convention while the
gymnasium classes were suspended
Miss Alberta Spurk gave strength
tests to the girls on the universal
dynomameter. Several of the oasket
ball girls tried to embarass the physi

Tyson's example and breaking the
machinery but were not successful.
