ATHLETIC NEWS
By IWABGAItET KRAMER
Basketball got oft to a grand atat’t
last week for the 1936 season. The
freshmen began their practices at that
time, under the direction of Miss Ma
rlon Warner, A large number of gh'la
reported for practice, among whom
are several stars of their respective
high school varsities. Tiie fresh
men looked grand at their first prac
tices, and give promise of giving tlie
other three classes a good vnn for
their money In the coming Inter-class
games.
Sophomore practices began this
week and were followed by Junior and
senior practices.
The present senior class is in pos
session of the basketball cup and
promises to defend it with a team
stronger than ever.
And here and now your huiiiblu
correspondent wants to raise her
voice {and it’s no sissy one, either)
against the non-support of the various
class teams that exist here at Mere
dith. Sophomores, juniors,, and sen
iors lend car—when your team plays,
make it your duty to back it with
some good old fashioned class spirit.
Aud be sure and yell—yell like—uli—
fury. Many a team has been urged on
lo victory by moral support given them
at the well-known psychological mo
ment. This applies to you and you—
dnd especially to YOU! Don’t forgot
U!
Soccer season will get underway in
the not-so-distant future, says Frances
Pittman, manager of soccer, although
no definite plaits have been an
nounced as yet.
; You plng-pongers sign up on the
A. A. bulletin board in a hurry for
the inter-hall tournament which Is to
be held soon. Sign up with your room
mate for doubles, or if you think you
can ping better wltliout her, sign your
self up for singles! We should be
able to work up as much spirit over
the “glory of dear old third floor dor
mitory” as over any interclass com
petition.
’ Have you horse-minded enthusiasts
seen the pair of new horses which
Mr. Caveil lias obtained? Jump luto
the Jodphurs and trot yourselves out
to the stables. Diamond, and
Dixie Qreen are waiting for you to
try them out.
Hockey seasou closed several weeks
liiefore Christmas, but tliere la an ai)r
proaching event which will call forth
tiie Interest of the girls who enjoyed
tlielr afternoons on the hockey field
this fall. Sometime in February a
groiip of professional players will play
an exhibition game at Duke. We are
hoping to be able to provide trans
portation if enough of our girls wish
to see some first-class hockey.
T|)e A. A. board has in mind the
project of obtaining the use of a cabin
somewhere in the neighborhood of the
campus. A cabin would provide a
goal ' and an incentive for hiking
parties, and for picnics and weiner
roasts. Lots of fun is in store for
iiikers if the A. A. is successful in
'^heir aim.
