Around the Grounds With Arnold Silberstein There seems to be a general apathy in the civilian dormitory area towards active participation in sports. The recent boxing show attracted put on by the civilians a large crowd, but even a greater turnout was expected. . but There are tennis tables here,actu50 perhaps one out of every ally play table tennis. How many would be interested in entering a table tennis tournament, doubles and singles, with the winners to form a team to represent the dormitory area in competition against the military teams on the post, and perhaps even against teams from nearby communities? How many men around here are willing to pitch in and help build a boxing ring for which we now have lumber and other necessary equipment? Anyone interested please contact me at southeast recreation hall. Lt. John G. Hazen, in charge of civilian sports has gone to considerable lengths to help us get gloves, a mat for the ring, and shortly several punching bags. Why not bang away at a speed bng, instead of kicking holes in tBe dorm walls when you don't feel good? That's only the beginning. Softball, hardball and tennis, outdoor swimming and perhap; golf are also close at hand. But, what use and to what avail are the efforts of the people who are trying to do these things for the civilian populace unless the civilians lake advantage of them by showing interest and active participation? This department is interested in contacting people who like to hi to?. Also, several parties who know the surrounding area as far as Salt Lake City in the east and Brigham City in the west.
