The slight constraint in relations with the
outside world that marks Vassar College
10 entirely absent from activities of the girls
of the college in athletic and gymnastio
competitions. Vassar is genuinely in
terested in athletics. There is a contrast
between Smith College and Vassar that
presents itself right at the start. Smith
is strongly against the athletic girl Vas
sar isn't.
At Poughkeepsie they want the girls to
go out and run and jump and hurdle and
vault fences and throw baseballs and do
things that their brothers do-just as long
az there are no persons around to attempt
to be funny at the expense of the college
and the girls. 1t is a little strange that the
college which outwardly preserves the
Journalism of many years ago has pro-
crossed even a little further than most
women's colleges in the physical educa-
ton idea.
Vassar has an athletic circle They
point out to you at Poughkeepsie that they
call an athletic field an athletic field and not
a recreation ground, Just as soon as ever
the Easter holidays are over and the girls
get back to college the gymnasium class
work Is deserted and the spring training
season is on. All afternoon the athletic
circle is kept busy. 1t is a pretty spot.
As its name indicates it is in the form Of
a circle. This circle is indicated by a line
OF tall evergreens, which en- close it per-
fectly and make a pretty background for
the athletic competitions. There is a sort
OF exercise track which follows the outlines
Of the circle, but as there are no races
nowadays longer than 100 yards there is
no need to have a curved running track.

VEGETARIAN ATHLETES.
In England They Are Smashing Records
Made BY Meat Eaters.

1t would almost seem that athletic records
are set up by meat eaters only in order
that they may be knocked down by vege-
~tarians. says the London Daily Nens,
Last year George Allen knocked seven
days off the walking record from Lands
End 10 John O. Groats, and now G. A. Obey
has lowered the unpaced cycling record
over the came route by eleven hours,
which Is a feat that is likely to remain I'M
equalled for some time to come.
Strict training Is indispensable to those
severe athletic feats, and a most important
part Of hat training depends upon diet.
II Ia not true that diet Is everything but 1t
is 30 much that these repeated victories
by vegetarians are the best advertisement
that cause has.
The grand challenge has not yet been
won by a vegetarian crew, or even the
diamonds by a graminivorous sculler,
but il certainly seems that the physically
active man whose digestion is equal TO il
keeps himself in best condition without
tasting meat.
How much intellectual yegetarians like
George Bernard Shaw owe to the things
they eat or do not eat Ii a question that
will take longer to thresh out. At any rate,
the day has gone by when vegetarianism
was looked upon as q mild but fairly certain
form Of suicide.

Running through the centre of the field
etraightaway Of 100 yards.
There ia a field day every year at Vassar
and a regular programme OF events Ia fol-
lowed out. In several Of the women's
colleges these athletic competitions are held
and the latest athletic almanac shows Vas
sar the holder of most of the records for
women. On the occasion Of the field day
there are sprints at so and 100 yards, q
hurdle race. throwing the baseball and the
basketball, putting the shot, high and
broad jumping, fenoe v~aulting and a relay
race for the classes.
The training process ought TO be interest
ing to watch. No men are permitted to see
the games, except a few who are instructors
and officials at one and the same time.
The girls who try to sprint nave discarded
the idea Of the at anding start. They use
the crouch The way hat the crouch is
learned differs according to the advantages
of the individual girl. Some have brothers
who are athletes to teach them. Others
simply buy a book on sprinting and read
what Duffey or Morton presoribes as the
orthodox way.
The hurdling trick is another that Is
difficult. but there have been girls at Vassar
who studied the ways Of K~raenzlein and
who had a fairly good style Of hurdling.
The girls, such Of them az feel like 1t, buy
spiked shoes and use them for track
work. There are a few sprained ankles or
twisted muscles for those who do not know
how to manage spikes, but the gain in speed
Is worth it.

OF games is a busy place. The girls in the

dresses. march In procession, class by
class, to the field Of action. Before each
class gets to the field, however, 1t proceeds
to Its own particular tree on the campus.
There the girls sing their GLASS songs oircling
about the tree. 1t Is about these trees, too
that actual victory liz celebrated after the
games. In the post victory celebrations
the like numbered classes join forces
%seniors with sophomores. juniors with
freshmen.
By the time the classes arrive at the field
the athletes are about ready to make their
appearance. They come trotting along the
path and break through the tree enclosure
to the track. Their appearance Is the
signal for outbursts Of class cheers from
those already present.
Each competitor wears a number oil the
back of her blouse. The girls wear the

New Workers may be just as cold to the

as a guarantee Of the fact that the dinner

OF course, her compensation for these
services is generous; but she has been
