Can We Properly Evaluate This Year's Athletics Achievements? By KEN HI LL In the face of the true meaning of athletics, and judging by the creed and honor of the same, it seems important to note the achievements of our athletic year. To evaluate this year's success, let us step hack and see how, when, where, and why, athletics originates. Before the middle of the last century there was practically no such thing as organized athletics in the United States, and even in England the first intercollegiate contest between Oxford and Cambridge did not take place until 18(54. The desire of every normal boy to excel in athletics was only partly tolerated, and the time spent in it was considered wasted. The old-fashioned prejudices were finally overcome and competitive sports came into a student's educationIt is clearly recognized that the ancient Greeks surpassed any race in their perfection of physical as well as intellectual ability. Their cultivation of athletics went hand in hand with their training. In our day, athletics means much more than development of mere muscles. The true ideas are not bone and sinew alone, but i other more helpful qualities such as quickness, skill, courage, man- liness, pluck, energy, endurance, ptrnnnU rF 1 4. aLiriigui UL 111111U, tlldltlLltL, as well as body. The good athlete can take dis- card and pain without whimper-i ing. He should be able to adjust ', to difficult demands found in ' team play. He is a sportsman. I In recent years girls and women have taken an increasing interest ; in athletics. Men's games have I been mastered by them, and sta-j tistics gathered in schools and ! form athlete's, colleges show im-; proved physical conditions. All sports which require physical effort are termed as athletic 1 feats. The most common being football, tennis, basketball, track, all of which are enjoyed in our i college inter-school andintra-mu-, ral programs. ; "Many of the great lessons of j life come from the games we play i in youth," one writer wrote. If we, then, should want to i evaluate this past year's benefits in sports, with these facts, and on j i these terms, deviating from the medals, trophies, honors and rec- j ognition, we should be only satisfied. : Your Sports Editor. 27 Block W Jackets and Three Trophies Were Presented Athletic awards and scholarships were presented to the Weber College students in the awards assembly Friday.

Points were accumulated in many ways, participating in all activities, attendance at the games, refereeing games, being elected managers of different sports, and being named all-star or alternate by their club. When the points were all tallied W.A.A. President Madge Cur-ran, Joyce Parry, Marion Peterson, Noma Allen and Iola Hansen had come out on top. Next on the program came the presentation of the W.A.A. Traveling Trophy to Otyokwa for the first time in a good many years. To capture the award Otyokwa took second in ping-pong and firsts in Foul-pitch, Basketball, Swimming and Softball. The only event in which they did not place was Volleyball. These honors plus attendance and participation points were sufficient to let them keep the trophy for the coming year.
