They will be the active mem bers, and those with points front SO to ISO will be considered associate members. The girls are expecting to begin their duties by assisting at the District Tournament which will be held here In March. All girls who have ISO points are entitled to wear a sweater, which they must purcnase tnemselves. The exact style and color have not been defin itely decided upon as yet, but It is thought that they will be of as shade ox blue which may be easily dlstlh- guisnea from that of the boys' sweat ere. When a girl gets 200 points; she may nave two stripes on her sweater; 260 points earn three stripes, and 300 points earn four. Four stripes are all one can get. These awards do not In any way change the requirements for the Girl's Athletla Honor pin which Is awarded to not more than three girls at graduation. The re quirements for that pin are still a least 200 points, and superior ability in leadership, scnoiarsnip and ath letics. . The general purpose of the club Is to f urther an understanding of girls' aotlvlttes,.and to promote sportsman ship and friendliness among the girls. An organization meeting will be held soon, probably next Tuesday, At present there are only about 19 girls wno are aoie to qualify as active members of tho club.

The north fence, on the athletic field has been moved to the property line on Jit avenue, which permits the north curve o( the track to extend Into the area whk& was formerly used for parting cars. The grand stand has been repaired and will be painted. Four additional f leM bleachers, will also-, be - ibullt similar In. .deslgh. , those. already on the field., . -t ff.t t, , It was found that the southwest portion of the field, was eight feet higher than the level in. front. of the grand stand. Under the- new plan the ; 100 yard straight away will be level j and the 120 yard straight away on, the east side of the field will also be made level. The elevation of the track on the baseball field will be raised approximately two feet. The standard curves on the southwest and south cast end of the track, will provide a standard 220 yard dash runway. Six, 120 yard lanes and ten 100 yard lanes will be provided under tho new plan. The track will be a trifle less than a quarter of a mile. Mr. McLaln has been designated as engineer and sup ervlsor. t IOWA STATE GOING GHEAT! CONTRAST IS WHAT COUNTS AMES, la.

Eleven victories, 12 defents and two ties In their three seasons under George Vecnkcr, who came here from Michigan in 1931, give the Cyclones of those seasons a big edge over the teams of '28, 29 and '30 first three seasons of the Big Six conference.

While o the hotel a light lurtoh. was served before (the game and after the gamo the squad enjoyed a de licious meal of stew and other tasty foods. , i r i Somo boys enjoyed a swell time be fore the game at the "Oasis," and I believe some of the boys recognlzo thetso girls names, Mucel Flnkley, Dolly Boumly, and Elizabeth Porsy the.

With . the jheavy storm on itha outside, and an equally heavy conversation inside, Mr. Huff man discovered he had pushed tliat V-8 some few miles In second gear. He latd.lt on to (three in the front scat and a silent second, but all the boys; swear that inasmuch as MK& was entirely surrounded by Enter prise girls and saw little, if any, of the game, tt was caused by nothing short of high blood pressure.
