EVERY MALE STUDENT AT
NJ. A. C. MUST VISIT GYM

EAST LANSING, Mich. Dec. 10
Chester L. Brewer, director of atb-
letics at the Michigan Agricultural
college, has decided to reorgan.ze
the athletic system. His new plan
provides that every male student
must take athletic work. Brewer
agrees with certain leading athletic
directors who have declared that the
old system Of training a few athletes
and leaving the great majority OF
male students TO shift for them
selves, is radically wrong. Brewer
plans to organize his athletic classes
on a military basis. incidentally,
he hopes to develop many finds
for baseball, track, basketball and
football

Hats on to Margaret Denham, belle
OF the bathing beach!
She is the first woman to have
plunged into the water at the bath
ing beach this season.
Even though the Thermometer was
away down and the temperature of
the water even lower, there was moth
ing In that to daunt her. She swan
about as though It were q sunny mid
summer day.
Miss Denham IL only eighteen, but
mono the less a competent swimmer,
who has almost qualified as a member
OF the Iife-saving corps. Last year
at the municipal pool in the fall
meet she won ono OF the short dashes
and also the plunge for distance.
Yesterday, just to see IL she were in
form. she stayed under the chilly water
for over q minute-"the longest min.
ute of my life." as she described IL.
Miss Denham thinks that the beach
should be made a recruiting station,
and has asked Superintendent Fred
erick ]. Drummer to offer It for that
purpose.
In addition to Miss Denham, there
were three other women and twenty.
six men swimming in the municipal
pools yesterday.
