TEXANS INSTITUTE NEW GAME FOR FRESHMAN GYM CLASSES A new game for the Freshman gym classes has been worked out by the athletic department, at Texas University, which is becoming veery popular among the Freshmen. The game, as it is now played, is a com bination of football and basketball. The ball is kicked off the same as in football, and the line formation is very similar. As many as thirty can play on a side, and no man can run more than ten yards with the ball. Tackling is not allowed. The most successful method of playing is double and triple forward pass. In the opin ion of the Freshman gym directors the game will be very successful, as it keeps all the men in action all the time. Aside from this, it should de velop good passing among future can didates for the football team. Even the University of Indiana has tired of the old-fashioned twostep and waltz. The Hoosier students long for the privilege of following the elusive Teirpsichore through the mazes of her new art and have petitioned the student council to reinstate the new 1 dances at campus affairs. TUPLE B IS 0R6MIZED Mrs. Parsons Entertains Sophomore Women and Society Is Formed —Officers Elected Mrs. Parsons, faculty advisor of the Sophomore women, entertained the women of that class at her home Tuesday evening. Triple B, a Sophomore society, was also organized then. Echo Zahl was elected Preseident, Helen Johns, Vice. President, Marian Tinker Secretary, Dorothy Wheeler Treasurer, Helen Currey, Reporter, and Irma Zimmer man Sergeant-at-Arms. A meeting will be held next Wednesday night at the Kappa Alpha Theta house to make plans for the year’s work. Mrs. Parsons talked with the wo men concerning their college work and social activities. DEAN STRAUB* PRESIDES AT FRESHMAN CLASS MEETING The oldest member of the faculty meeting in Villard Hall Wednesday resided over the Freshmen Wednesday morning. Kent Wilson, Frosti Presi dent, did not appear, and as Dean Straub could not locate the Vice-Pres ident, he assumed the responsibility himself and directed the meeting. A motion was carried to purchase numerals for all men who make the various Freshman athletic teams. This is in accordancee with previous cus tom. Thomas Campbell was unani mously elected manager of the Fresh man basketball team. The Freshman girls at the Univer sity of Kansas have planned to take long hikes every Saturday in order to become acquainted. Fairmount College, Kansas, has been closed until after Thanksgiving recess, on account of an epidemic of smallpox. Six members of the foot ball squad have contracted the dis ease. An addition to the chemistry build ing of the University of California is being built at a cost, including equipment of $40,000.00. It will prob vide laboratory accommodations for 250 students.
