IN PRELIMINARY
Final io Decided Pick, ‘
With the Freshmen winners on
3rd and 5th, and the Juniors victors on
4th, the Odds carried off the honors
in the lower team preliminaries of the
apparatus meet last Wednesday.
This meet was the first held under the -
new plan by which five teams from the
three lower classes compete in exercises
on horses and parallel bars. Indian
clubs and floor drill, features of for-
mer gymnasium meets, were omitted.
The Freshmen, at a disadvantage with
but one season’s practice, went through
the exercises with a degree of form and
precision which could only result from
hard work. Striving to uphold the
tradition of skill established by the reds
in their Freshman and Sophomore years,
when they were winners of the gymna-
sium meets, 1921 did some pretty work,
losing on third team by half a point,
All three teams were more at ease on
the horses than on the parallel bars. Both
K. Johnson, '21, and M. Bradley, ’23,:the
third team captains, showed skill in hand-
ling their teams. P. Smith, ’22, led ‘her
team through an unusually original op-
tional exercise on the horses.
Places were awarded as follows:
3rd team: 1923, 29 points; 1921,
284%
points; 1922, 2214 points.
4th team: 1921, 29% points; 1922, 26%
points; 1923, 24 points.
Sth team: 1923, 38 points; 1922,'24
points; 1921, 18 points.
The final score was decided in the
second meet for the third, fourth, and
fifth teams, which took place today. The
judges for both meets were Miss
Dowd, H. Zinsser, ’20, and H. Ferris.
