Show ASEBAL LONE of the most attractive forms of athletics to attain great popularity among the girls since its introduction a short while ago, is baseball. The girls may well be proud of their new acquisition as theirs is the only women's team west of Chicago. The game itself is conducted by the same rules governing men's games, modified in a few details to make it more suitable for women. Baseball at present is greatly handicapped as there is no suitable ground for playing. But Prof. Maud May Babcock, loyal ever to the interests of the department, has advanced the cause of an athletic field for women which will be completed in the near future. Not only baseball, but tennis, hockey, and other competitive sports will be played there.Although restricted by lack of necessary equipment the girls are doing some good work under the capable management of Coach Edwards, the instructor of athletics, who will also have charge of that department in the Summer School of 1910. Among Miss Edwards' star players might be mentioned Alice Hadfield, Louise and Viola Allen, Vivian Redd, Laura Poulson, Edna Hull, Lottie Cornwall, and Genevieve Brinton.The Basketball Squad( 215 > |
