Bauer Olds West Hymer Schuebel Track and Tennis
ENNIS is a major sport at Nebraska, and participation is in both spring and fall. Women may be seen playing on the University courts any hour of the day or evening, during the season. In the spring of 1925 tennis held much interest, thirty-two women taking part in the tournament. There were some very good games played, Ruth Wright winning from Grace Medlin in the finals, 7-5, 6-2. The following fall the sport was delayed until Grace Medlin was chosen as manager. Practices began, and twenty-two women were ready to play in the fall tournament.
Track is a minor sport at Nebraska University, but many women have shown interest in it. In the spring track meet, 1925, the events chosen were recommended by the Women's Division of the National Amateur Athletic Federation. The class standings of the meet were: Sophomores 328, Seniors 272, juniors 201, and Freshmen 137. There were seven events run off, baseball throw, javelin throw, basketball throw, hop-step and jump, 65-yard hurdles, 50-yard dash and a 220-yard relay. Margaret Hymer was the high point winner; Ruth Wright and Irene Mangold tied for second place.. Helen West was elected to direct the 1926 season.
