Show WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION m :< :¦ : tracted a large number of students, practically every sorority being represented in each of the competitions. The tennis tourney for the sororities was innovated during the present spring, and succeeded in interesting large number of girls. An intra-state convention begun last year between the Utah Agricultural College, the Brigham Young University and the Utah University was originated by the Utah W. A. A. in as much as they were the only member of the national association in Utah. Representatives from each of the colleges represented participated in ddiscussion of common problems, and offered exhibition work in typical activities of the three athletic associations. The two visiting colleges were encouraged to adopt the principles of the Athletic Conference of Associated College Women and to become members of the national organization. The second meeting of the conference was held during the present year in the Utah Agricultural College. This organization endeavors to interest every girl in a sport from the standpoint of sportsmanship, leadership, physical development and general health. The sports program is broadened out each year in an attempt to include more girls. Although membership is closed it requires only the completion of a designated number of practice hours in any one sport during one quarter. The organization functions as a club, maintaining social parties to insure a spirit of friendliness among its members. Although awards are given for merit in sports, they are few, and the motto of the organization is "play for play's sake."
