6 The Campus Mirror CAMPUS zATHLETICS In spite of rain in the earlier part of April 11th, Founders Day, the athletic meet, which always has an important place in the program of events, was an unusual feature. After the rally in Howe Memorial every one went onto the Oval in front of Rockefel ler Hall to witness the presentation of Eng- lish Country Folk Dances. Each class was represented by one or two circles in either the Xeirrastle, the first dance, or Jenny Pluck Pears, the second. The College classes were known by the colors of their socks and ties; freshmen, blue; sophomores, yel low; juniors, red; seniors, green. After the Folk Dances everyone remained on the green until Miss Mary Louise Smith as the God dess, Diana, commanded the Greek athletes to appear. At this command lovely, graceful forms in purple and gold came running, leaping, jumping onto the field. Their dance served as a reminder of the many exercises of the Greeks for the development and beautifying of the body. In the group representing Greek athletes were Ruth M. Westmoreland, Fannie Allen, Carolyn Lem on, Frances Brock, Sophia Sullivan, Thel ma Fuller, Doris Murphy, and Annlizabetli Madison. The dances by the class representatives and the Rhythmics groups were only a part of the show. The next event was an archery tournament. Although this is something new on our campus t he contestants bravely en tered into the sport and made a creditable showing. The scores were as follows: Clara Haywood, 17 points (one goal, three hits); Rachel Davis, 5 points, one hit; Lottie Lyons, 5 points, one hit. On account of the rain the baseball game was postponed until afternoon when two teams, made up of members of three of the college classes, played the game. Although there were few spectators for this event, the game went off very well. The teams were as follows: Players from the Freshman and Junior classes against the Sophomores. The scores amounted to 10 for the Sophomore team and 7 for the Freshman and Junior team. The baseball game brought to a very suc cessful close the Athletic Meet on Spelman’s fifty-second anniversary. The representa tives of all groups had been trained by Miss Leolya Nelson, Director of Physical Educa tion, to whom much of our success in the athletic and aesthetic features is due. the Freshman was also checked by two other guards, Leo Christopher and Willie Cotton. The Freshmen, too, had some strong guards in Louise Long and Lilly Douglass. Louise Long’s steady guarding checked the fast shooting of Jewel Crawford. At the end of the first half the Freshmen were scoring 10 and the Juniors 8. With the beginning of the second half the Juniors went into it with more enthusiasm, having found their opponents, and the game ended in a tie 13-13. As a whole is was a hard, but smooth, game; only a few fouls were incurred by either side.

A. M. Ballantyne, S. Houston Baker, and H. II. Landon, Jr., representa tives of Atlanta University buildings com mittees, greeted Spelman students and fac ulty in Chapel March 21st. Mr. Ballantyne said that designing is a very complicated business and involves knowledge of material together with knowledge of how to unite material to make a work of art. The ques tion of style is very important. Referring to the new dormitory, he said that this building has the style of a Greek temple. Mr. Ballantyne thinks it will not he long be fore Atlanta University will be one of the finest universities in the South. Mr. Baker who superintended the furnish ings of the new dormitory, said that it does not take a lot of money to decorate a build ing, but that it does take good taste—the simpler, the better. Mr. Landon, the third speaker, humorous ly corrected Mr. Ballantyne by saying in regard to the University that the fact is not, “will be a great University but is a great University now.” Suiting the song to the speeches on ar chitecture and designing, Mr. Harreld di rected the singing of the hymn, Except the Lord Build the House. On March 22nd, Mr. Howard K. Beale, Professor of Economics at Harvard Univer sity and former professor of Mr. Dean, who will be an instructor at Atlanta University next year, addressed the chapel group. Junior-Freshman and Senior- Sophomore Basketball Games On April Fool's Day the Freshmen played the Juniors and the Sophomores played the Seniors in two lively games. The Junior- found theirs no easy game, especially with the fast Freshman forward, "Lit Bit” Holmes. But with the Junior Pres ident guarding, the swiftness of "Lit Bit” was a little bit checked.
