Athletics For All
At Stanford Univ.

Palo Alto, Cal, April II CA. P)-
Stanford University has adopted the
motto athletics for all
Whether athletic teams win or
lose. the fundamental purpose of
Stanford's physical activities is to
turn out large number of men
whose bodies are developed as well
as their minds. Facilities are pro-
vided not merely for the few men
who can make" the varsity sport
squads. but for every man in the
university.
This plan was evolved by Paul
Davis. graduate manager of the stu
dent body. He and his staff have
laid plans for n gradual extension of
athletic facilities extending over a
period of 20 years, by which time the
enrolment of men is expected TO
reach 1000. Means of physical vel
fare will keep pace with the growth
of the student body.
At present nine football fields ore
in use. There are two baseball
fields, and it is planned TO make
three more. Ten tennis courts are
in use, and eventually there will be
&c. Another swimming pool will
supplement the present one. Other
equipment for outdoor sport now
open to the students includes two
tracks. two polo fields and two
soccer fields.
Meanwhile the gymnasium is be-
ing expanded. improvements au-
thorized call for offices there for the
administration of athletics, and 1000
lockers for students. There will be
five indoor and two outdoor basket
ball courts, one hall each for wrestl-
ing, boxing, fencing and gymnastics:
ten courts for handball and six for
volleyball.
OF importance in the Stanford
plan of athletics is the gymnasium
store, which sells sport equipment to
students at cost prices.
