Student WAA Board Has
Complete Recreational Plan
Opportunities for fun, friend-
ship and the chance to learn new
sports or to become more profi-
cient in familiar ones are offered
to all University coeds by WAA-
sponsored sports clubs.
These clubs, covering nearly ev-
ery phase of sports activity, ac-
cept members of varying ability
and experience, as interest in
sports is the major prerequisite
for membership.
The clubs include:
Field Hockey-Membership in
this club is open to all interested
coeds. Experience is not necessary
as instruction is offered by older
members of the club and by club
advisor, Miss Stewart.
During the past year, members
of the club had the opportunity to
compete against field hockey
teams from other colleges.
Intramural and intercollegiate
games have been scheduled by
club manager, Gloria Yough, for
this year.
Meetings will be held at 5 p.m.
Monday and Wednesday with ex-
tra practice periods and intercol-
legiate games on Fridays.
Coaches and Officials-Promot-
ing interest in coaching and offi-
ciating volleyball, basketball and
softball is the object of the coach-
es and officials club.
Members of this club have the
opportunity to obtain their offi-
cials ratings, which enable women
to officiate games and earn extra
spending money.
With Miss Ruth Harris as advis-
or and Margaret Penney as mana-
ger, the club is open for member-
ship during the three major sports
seasons.
Golf-University women who
own their own golf clubs and who
have had previous experience are
invited to join the golf club.
The club will be divided into
intermediate and advanced
groups, with free instruction be-
ing provided for all members.
Medal play tournaments in the
fall and spring ,as well as matches
with other women's teams from
various colleges have been plan-
ned by club manager, Ann Petrie.
Members will meet each week in
the fall and spring, and winter
meetings will be held if there is
sufficient interest.
Tennis -- Shouts of "game,"
"set," and "match" will again be
heard on the women's tennis
courts as members of the tennis
club meet to improve their tennis
game.
Jane McCarthy, club manager,
has planned both a singles and
doubles tournament and has ten-
tatively scheduled a mixed doubles
tournament. Also planned is a
combined picnic-tournament at
Burn's Park.
Last year the club sponsored an
all-campus women's tennis tour-
nament.
Club members will meet for play
as long as the weather conditions
remain favorable. The club will
then be semi-active during the
winter months, with indoor prac-
tice sessions being scheduled. Re-
organization will then take place
in the spring when the weather
becomes favorable.
Bowling--All women interested
in bowling are welcomed to mem-
bership in the WAA bowling club.
Teams composed of coeds from
the same or different residences
will be organized within the club,
and tournaments will be arranged
for both team and individual
competition. The University bowl-
ing club may also participate in
inter-school postal tournaments.
Located in the Women's Ath-
letic Building, the bowling alleys
are also open to non-members up-
on the payment of a small fee for
each line. Bowling club dues, pay-
able at the beginning of the sea-
son, cover all bowling expenses for
club members.
Michifish -- Two times a year
Michifish members "splash" into
the water to present an exhibition
of precision and ballet swimming.
This club also sponsors the an-
nual campus ail-women's swim-
ming meet.
Michifish offers one of the few
opportunities for women who en-
joy swimming to have a chance to
exercise their ability.
Requirements for membership
include ability in all the basic
swimming strokes, as well as exe-
cuting a front standing dive and
front and back dolphins.
Membership in the club is lim-
ited to fifty coeds.
Rifle-Postal matches with oth-
Every University woman is auto-

tivities.

sical Education Department, the

sical fitness and to foster a recre-
ational program.

HANDBAGS
GOLF--Students practice their putts and drip=es on the weir-equipped practice golf course behind
the Women's Athletic Building. Golf instruction is offered in the physical education program and
WAA sponsors a golf club.
'
er schools are often held by the
rifle club, as well as "shoulder to
shoulder" matches within the
club.
Any University woman interest-
ed in riflry is invited to join and
learn to be an expert marksman.
Instruction will be provided.
T h i s year a shoulder-to-
shoulder match is being scheduled
with the men's rifle team, an
went which always promotes ri-
valry between the two clubs. Plans
are also being made to enter a
team in the National Rifle Asso-
ciaiton Intercollegiate Women's
Match during the winter.
Basketball-Each year at the
last meeting of the basketball club,
the Army and the Navy meet in
the final "battle of the year."
Open to all women students, the
club gives all who are interested
the opportunity to learn and prac-
tice their basketball skills.
At meetings each Friday during
the winter months, members play
for rating sessions, participate in
college play-days and experiment
with various rule changes.
This year a game ha-s been
planned with the Physical Edu-
cation faculty. In addition, the
losers of the Army-Navy game will
treat the winners to a "coke" at
the final meeting.
Softball-The Softball club has
the distinction of being the last
to be organized for the year, as
the club meets only during the
spring months.
Included in its program are in-
ter-club games and extramural
events. Membership in the club
will be based on skill, and all co-
eds are invited to try out.
Houses Enter
Teams In
Intramurals
Although women at the Uni-
versity have no "varsity" competi-
tion, the Women's Athletic Asso-
ciation has set up an intramural
and extramural program to in-
clude all coeds.
Biggest participation takes place
in the intramural volley-ball, bas-
ketball and softball tournaments.
s
THE VOLLEYBALL tournament
is held in the fall, followed by bas-
ketball during the winter months.
The season is concluded with a
softball tournament in the spring.
Each women's sorority, dormi-
tory or league house is urged to
enter as many teams as they are
able to form.
The athletic manager from each
house organizes these teams, ap-
points captains and keeps her
house informed on tournament
progress as well as other WAA ac-
tivities.
SORORITY, dormitory and
league house managers, members
of the WAA executive board , are
in charge of these tournaments:
These three work in cooperation
with the vice-president in charge
of student relations to coordinate
the houses and to work out any
problems which may arise during
the year.
Basic rules used in intramur-
als are those in the Official
Sports Guides, published by the.
National Section on Women's
Athletics, with slight modifica-
tions to take care of specific sit-
uations in any sport.
All games are officiated by fac-
ulty members as well as 'students,
who, in most cases, hold ratings
in the sports which they offici-
ate.
TEAMS winning their first
games are members of the. "A"
league, while first game losers are
placed in the "B" league. After
the first game, each team plays
until losing a game, which auto-
matically eliminates its members
from the tournament. Play fol-
lows a ladder elimination.
Individuals get their "chance
to shine" in sports such as ping-
gong, tennis and badminton.
An all campus swimmhg meet
is also held. These 4vdividual
tournaments are sponsored by
the various WAA clubs.
The only requirement for par-
ticipation in the intramural sports
program is an. interest in the ac-
tivities.' Players have the oppor-
tunity to learn new games and to
meet new friends in a competitive
atmosphere.
