Tournament Opens
At the Y. M. C.. A.

Volley ball seems to have found a
very receptive bunch of men at the
Y. NJ. C. A. gymnasium. The teams
included in the tournament are the
Seniors, o'clock Business men, noon
hour business men, and secretarial
team. Each team will meet all the
other teams in a single contest, three
out of five games deciding the win
ner. A large cup will be presented
to the winning team at a closing ban
quet.
Many men have the idea that volley
ball is game for infants and physi-
cal detectives who cannot stand a
vigorous contest. Quite to the con-
trary, it is as vigorous as the group
playing wish to make it. The game
is easy to learn and is very enjoyable
the first time one participates in the
sport. Its adaptability to all classes
is the strong feature of the game.
The public is cordially invited to at
tend the games and decide for them
selves.
