Show Women's Athletic Association Basketball Back How: Athaleen Cordon. Clara Miller. Janet Hilon. Ruth Tomlinson, Ruth Jacobs. June Spong.

Weber women believe in plenty of exercise, but it's not the kind of thing you can bust into hurriedly. That's why the Wo- men's Athletic Association was organized-to keep enthusiastic coeds from striking the baseball sharply with a tennis racquet or wearing their overshoes in swimming. The result of this organized play council is a scheduled system of diversified sports for women, including everything from yachting to pitching woo. And the coeds take to it like ducks to water, although they are always worrying about getting muscles. The probable reason for so much pulchritude around the campus is the habit Weber girls have of keeping healthy. The only bad thing about it is the possibility of Weber alumnai forcing their husbands to do the housework and have the babies while the Wives' Club goes out to play a little ice hockey. You never know what a girl can do until you've seen her play. The way they bat a volley ball around should give some idea of what married life can become. And don't ever make the mistake of trying to rescue a female swimmer; chances are she'll outswim you and, after you've paddled to exhaustion, tug you back to safety. Those Errol Flynn fans with the bows-and-arrows have improved to a point where it's safe to stroll around the campus without a suit of cast-iron underwear. It was formerly their habit to comb the grounds pulling stray arrows out of trees, frame houses, and occasional students. But it's all in the spirit of wholesome fun.
