Captains and managers of the va

A point system for letter awards
has been adopted at the Methodist
school. The coveted emblems are
earned, not by outstanding partici-
patton in one sport to the exclusion
of all others, but by adequate per-
formance in several sports. A total
of 100 points must he collected by a
coed before she is eligible for a
letter award. Points are given for
general aptitude in any sport; for
attendance at practice and for actual
games. The system of points is so
arranged that it would be impossible
to earn the entire 100 in any one
activity. The letter. therefore, stands
for more than eXpertness in one sport.
The system is designed to encourage
the development of all-round ath-
letes.
