Chi Omega Wins Volley Ball Tilt Jane Darnell Accepts Cup From Martha Mauney For Her Victorious Team Pronounced undisputed champions of big ball fist batting were the Chi Omega's last Wednesday night wvhen that club made the Independents bite the dust, 44-38, in a breathless battle of volley-ball which took place in the University gym. Jane Darnell, with becoming shyness and subtle smi'-., acLepted the cup for her team from Martha Mauney. This rise of the Chi Omega's and dlownfall of the Independents was the culmination of a three round volley ball tournament. For three nights, the walls of our historic gymnasium re soundled with feminine whoop and giggle; for three nights athletic co-eds fought fiercely for the honor of their separate groups (not one cent for sub sidlation); for three nights, shorts and slacks, culottes and gym suits, blos somed mn the gym. On the first evening, the Cli Omega's defeated the P.i Phi's by one l)oint in a hard fought fistter. (Mean while Helen Townsend and Libba Manning practiced a new variety of the Big Apple on the side). The Delta Zeta's white washed the Alpha Delta Pi's, who had plenty of cheerers but fewv players. And our Independents PUt it over the Tri-Delters, in spite of the latter's appearance in mittens to protect their hands. (Francis Hart was Cute enough in white Shirt and shorts with dark blue tie, mitts, and socks). During all games, non-playing mem bers of the teams shot goals, tried out the muscle builders (Sis Johnson is sore as heck from same), did every thing but tackle the boxing bags. On the second evening, the Inde pendents defeated the Z. T. A.'s; the Clhi Omega's the Delta Zeta's. All three nights were well attended with a conspicuous balcony full of males of which players, subs, and those who were just supporters, all tried in vain to appear entirely un aware. This tournament was sponsored by the newly reorganized Woman's Ath letic Association, Miss Nancy Pope, assisted by Frances Morris and Martha Mauney, officiated.

C. Bout Although Coach Frank DeMars has not definitely picked a boxing team as yet, he was able to give a list of the probable fighters who will meet the P. C. boxers when they come here on January 9. Frank Jenkins will, doubtless, be the bantam-weight fighter. Jenkins, who takes his boxing seriously, has been working hard throughout the practice season, and Coach DeMars can "see no good reason why he should not go through the conference this year." Either Beidleman or Colina will fight in the 129-pound weight. Beidleman, intra-mural winner last year, though a newcomer to varsity boxing, has speed and reach, Colina, the short, stocky boxer from Cuba, is light and fast. The 139-pounder will be Carleo or Girardeau; both are new men. No light-weight has been picked yet, but there is the possibility that Ben Joe Williams will fight in this weight. There are four good men out for the 159-pound position: Harry Hilton, cap tain of the team, Jerry Hughes, intra mural winner last year, and two new men, J. A. Walton and James Acker man. However it has not been decided which of these will fight in the opening match with P. C. Rex Williams is expected to fight in the light-heavy weight, and James Polatty has promised to fight heavy weight. This list is not conclusive, because there is still a deficiency in some weights. Coach DeMars is asking for more men. Columbia Office Supply Co. Office Equipment and Job Printing Rubber Stamps, Seals and Stencils 1112 LADY ST.
