To this end it organizes ~clubs for skilled participants in in- Adividual sports like riflery, and in team sports like hockey, and it also organizes games between women in different residential zones. SEmphasizing sport for the pure fun of it, W.A.A. recently abolished all awards for skill and participation in sports except one, the W.A.A. scarf. This scarf of yellow and blue is given for two seasons of play in any sport. W.A.A. clubs also promote competi- tion between men and women, the women's golf team playing the men's golf team, and the women's hockey ' team playing the Lawyer's Club group. Clubs organized by W.A.A. for 'skilled players are headed by an elect- ,ed manager who automatically be- comes a member of the board of W.A.A. Within each team sports club, play is between club members, or as previously mentioned, between the club and a corresponding men's group. ?Two clubs of a different nature are -the Dance Club and Crop and Saddle. The former is for students of modern dance and the latter is a riding club. Both give exhibitions during the year. SWomen living in sororities, dormi- +tories or League houses are grouped =into residential zones by W.A.A., with approximately 60 women in each zone. Tournaments are played off within zones in sports like hockey and basketball. On Wednesday of Orientation Week, W.A.A. usuaally sponsors a sports exhibition afternoon at Palmer Field. Exhibitions of hockey, tennis, archer.y, golf, riding, and badminton will be held this year and there will also be a sports fashion show. Dr. Margaret Bell, head of the Women's Physical Education department, and Mary Johnson, '38, president of W.A.A. will speak over a public am- plifying system to the group. For Iurther explanation about W.A.A. sports, managers of the various clubs ' will be situated at small tables around the field to answer an questions. The outstanding project of W.A.A. at present is the raising of money for i a women's swimming pool. With the donation last year of $300 by the J- Hop Committee, and $75 by the Frosh o Frolic Committee, the fund was ma- aerially advanced. W.A.A. itself has already made $1,000 toward the proj- ect.
