A NEW GAME OF BALL.
One Started at Y. NJ. c. A. Proves
Popular From the Start.

Last night the Central Y NJ. c. A.
physical department introduced a new
game to the gymnasium men, volley
ball. 1t proved popular from the start,
although the men have not yet
learned all the fine points of the game.
1t is noisy and fast, but there are OPP
portunities for brea thing spell once
in a while. so that men of moderate
physical strength can enter it. 1t has
another advantage in that any number
of men can play.
The game is played with a soft
leather, inflated ball about two-thirds
the size of a basketball, which is bat
ted with the hand. Two parties line up
on opposite sides of a net, like that
used in tennis, but placed across the
middle of the gymnasium at about the
height of a mans head. The game is
to keep the ball going and off the
ground. To describe it does not give
an adequate idea Of the fun the men
get out of it.
The regular classes are gradually
getting into shape. Heavy work has
not yet begun, and will not until the
new steel lockers arrive and can be
put into place, but arrangements have
been made temporarily whereby those
who want to work out in the gym
can leave their suits in the building
and check them. and the instructors
will now begin giving systematic work
for those who care to use the limited
opportunities. eWhen the lockers ar
rive the department will be in full
swing. There are prospects Of good
business mems classes
