VIII Be Feafurs OF the
Spring Semester
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Dec. 10
With the beginning of next semester
basket ball, which is the most impor-
tant among women's sports. is to have
a revival in series of class games.
which will begin in the middle of Feb
ruary. A committee of women, con-
sistfng of Miss II. Bachelor IA Miss
r. Eely 10 and Miss r. Overman -.
has been appointed to take charge of
this series. These games may result
in the playing of Intercollegiate
matches later.
1t is also probable that next semes-
ter will see a revival of aquatic sports
for women. With the building of the
new boa thouse by the Women's boat
club there will be ample opportunity
and encouragement for this form of
activity among the fair sex at Stan
ford. Besides swimming the women
are very anxious to take up rowing.
They are not to be satisfied with canoes
and rowboats. but may try their skill
in racing shells and barges
For this purpose the mems boat club
has given them one of the lighter four
Dared barges, and it is announced that
the women will later get a shell and
will. probably organize crews. Whether
they will feel that they want to try
conclusions with the men on the water
is a matter for speculation.
