Volley Ball
Being Taken
Up By Girls

Volley ball is getting under
way as an official game with the
grammar school girls much faster
than soccer did with the boys.
Four new schools installed
courts this week and haze be-
gan actual play. Supervisor Kelly
said the game is favorably re-
ceived because 1t Is played in all
the high schools and state nor
mails and because it may be easily
installed In small space.
The rules of the game are not
complex, thus avoiding the neces-
sity of an expert coach.
Mckinley Park school is mark
ing out a court for the girls of
the upper grades. Miss Hopkins
Will do the coaching.
Grant was another school
which adopted the game. 1t will
be limited to Sth grade girls and
will be under the supervision Of
Miss Olsen.
