Coeds Take Part In Various Games Ready ? Serve!" And the game is on. Not only tennis, but basketball, baseball, track, tumbling, and every other form of athletic activity is indulged in by the Carolina coeds these bright spring afternoons. You can sec them, scattered all over the athletic field in front of the Woman's building, exercising with all their might. No excess of energy or desire for strength is responsible for all this activity. There is a double supply of power behind the throne, Miss Nancy Pope and Miss Virginia Alexander. Miss Pope was chief assistant to Miss Smith lats year, but Miss Anexatider is a new acquisition from William and Mary. It is rumored that she can play a fast game of basketball, baseball, tennis, hockey, run, jump, sling the discusse or javelin, and stand on her head. The most noticeable result of the spring season so far as gym is concerned is an excess supply of sunburn, and much comment from the male contingent on "those darn coeds using up all the tennis courts."

Lee Memorial Hall of Blue Ridge, one of the most attractive buildings of its kind in the entire country. I POTSHOTS AT THE GREAT AND NEAR GREAT We heard someone accusing Wilson Weldon at Burnett's of trying to cash a check lie got for his vote in a recent election. The accuser was informed that Weldon was a gentleman and a preacher, although a former editor of The Gamecock. Mitchell Morse must be out for track, judging from the way he occasionally squares his shoulders and dashes up to his seat in history class. Latest fashion hint?LcRoy Want has been seen about campus wearing a hat with dignity and a pale face (the latter was acquired during a recent illness). Alice Smoak and Margaret Gregg can be seen almost any Sunday night disguised as Shrubbery. (Note: This is due to the fact that they pick Spring blossoms on their Sabbath sylvan jaunts.) Wonder if that trick costume Bob Wauchope wore in "Twelfth Night" would be as becoming to all boys? If so, we suggest that freshmen be required to wear them since a means of improving their manly beauty has been a recent topic of discussion on the campus. / * Ralph Bowden has yielded his Hobble Handicap championship to Bland Hammond, who has been seen lately on crutches. Johnny Bowden is in training to recapture the title?his only supporter in this race is a walking stick.

During the Blue Ridge conference, it is probable that the bus will make a trip to Chimney Rock, to the Pisgah National Forest, and to Biltmore, the home of the Vanderbilts, and Mt. Mitchell. On the tour the delegation will camp out part of the time in tourists' camps but will stay in the Y. M. C. A. at Washington during their stay there.
