TWENTY.' THE MICHIGAN DAILY TWENTY TIlE MICHIGAN DAILY W.A.A. Sports, 'aci ltesAttire r HaveChanged Palmer Field Used To Be 'Cup And Saucer'; Pool Project Is Approved The change from the oi "cup and saucer" which was the women's ath- letic field to the modern Palmer Field parallels the growth and expansion of the other facilities, the curricula, the activities and even the costumes of the Women's Athletic Association, according to Dr. Margaret Bell, di- rector of physical education for women. Back in the old days the field, which is now the modern Palmer Field, was a poorly drained plot of ground with a big hill in the middle, looking like a cup placed upside down on a saucer. On top of the rise were tennis courts. To the north was one hockey field and a few archery tar- gets. In the Olden Days The upperclassmen had preference over the freshmen for using the hockey field. When the freshmen were playing and the seniors ap- peared, the first year women had to march over the hill to play on a smaller field, Dr. Bell said. There were also other tennis courts and a baseball diamond. But the field was much smaller than today and part of the space was occupied by private homes. The little white frame house which still stands was the only field house they had. Today the Women's Athletic Build- ing dominates the field, which is now properly drained. There are three hockey fields, both clay and cement tennis courts so even if the weather is too wet for clay courts tennis enthusiasts may play, a put- ting green like the one at the Univer- sity Golf course, space to hit golf balls, badminton facilities and arch- ery targets, Miss Marie Hartwig, in- structor in physical education for women, said. Besides the improvements of the fields the inside of the Women's Ath- 0etic Building is very modern, Miss Hartwig continued. There are inside facilities for golf, rifle and archery. Bowling alleys can be found there. And besides the facilities for sports there is a big homelike room around which the social life of the W.A.A. centers. University Backs Pool The present project of the W.A.A. is to get a swimming pool Dr. Bell stated. The League is also backing it.: This was approved by the Board of Regents and now that it is a Univer- sity project it is probable that the alumnae will contribute, Dr. Bell said. The J-Hop committee gave a large sum and the Frosh Frolic committee also contributed, so with the money the W.A.A. has made through such means as the Michigras and Penny Carnival the fund is now estimated at about $1,000, Dr. Bell said. It is loped that when the sinking fund gets big enough a donor will con- tribute, Dr. Bell said. The swimming pool in Barbour Gymnasium is no longer used be- cause the filters there were not strong enough, according to Dr. Bell. Since then, the Union has generously opened its pool to women students.

The putting green which is pictured above is like that at the University Golf Course. Bowling alleys and badminton courts have been installed. A ming there for all women except the physical education majors and par- ticipants in swimming meets. When the women have a pool of their own there will be no charge. Install Additional Courts The Women's Athletic Association is not merely working on this one project, Mary Johnson, '38, president, pointed out. Working with the W.A.A. the physical education department has had many changes. Although the outside of Barbour Gymnasium is now the same as when it was built, nevertheless there have been many changes within. As soon as badminton became popular courts were installed, even though the lines had to be pained on top of the baseball, volleyball and basketball HI!
