TR University of California Ranks Fourth in Size of Its Gymnasium, Which, However, Lacks a Swim- ming Tank. o BERKELEY, March 10.—Professor Wal. ter Magee of the University of Call fornia, who has just returned to Berkeley after spending two months the work of the gymnasiums of the nrom- inent colleges of the East, has prepared an article on university athletics. He says: “T'here is a striking difference between | the appearance of the students at those universities where gymnasium work is | compulsory and those where it is merely option instruction is comb mnasium exerci and physical condition of the young men are especially noticeable and worthy of admiration. An interesting contrast is of- fered at the University of Nebraska, In the colleges where military ined with compulsory where gymnasium work is prescribed for all the women for the first two years, but is merely optional with the men. al appearance of the women was no- s better than that of the male atu- “It is a noticeable fact that the gymna- m work of women at many Americaa colleges exceeds in effectiveness the gym- nasium work for men. This has come about, I believe, because of the great agi- tation in favor of physical trailning for women and because of the realization that the college girl is particularly ia need of systematic physical exercise. “An inferesting feature of college lifc in studying | he carriage, bearing | Ths | for women is the growth of interest in outdcor sports. At Vassar thers are ex- cellent opportunities for rowing and_sail- ing In summer and skating and lce-boat. ing in winter on the Hudson. Basket-ball is very popular, as well as golf, and there | is a track on which the college girls prac- tice for the high jump and sprints and | other track athletics. “A popular feature of the gymnasium | at a great many of the universities which I visited is the swimming tanks. Colum- bia has the finest natatorium in the coun- try. The marble pool is 150x50 and con- | tains 200,000 gallons of water. It is warm- | ed in winter. The depth varies from four to ten feet. The pool is illuminated by | electric lights placed around the sides be- neath the surface of the water. “The West Point gymnasium is similar In its equipment to that of the University of Californfa, with the exception that it has a large swlmm!nlf tank, something of | which California is In great need. The | work at West Point {s by far the best | that T have seen anywhere. “When the extension to the gymnasium | of the Unliversity of California is com- | pleted we will stand fourth among Amer- | ican universities in the amount of floor | space devoted to exercising room.

HERE is no city on this coast that has been favored with so many natural advantages as has the city of Oakland, not only as an attractive placs of residence, but also for the develop- ment of a commercial center. It Is time that Oakland should commence to develop some of those “natural ad- vantages”” and take her place in the front rank of American cities. We not only want to make the city at- tractive for home-seekers, but we ought to do some things that will en- courage capital as well. For where there is capital and money in nty there is bound to be enterprise and improvement. There is really nothing to-day in the city of Oakland that would attract a man with, say, $100,- 000 to invest. Permanent public im- provements have been suffered to lag too long, and we are losing opportu- nities e day to secure some of these hundred thousand doilar men. There is ro question, no possibla doubt, but that attractive municipal bulldings, sanitary and fireproof school-houses, perfect sewer system, parks and boulevards, municipal water supply and cther things that an up-to- date city provides are necessary, and conduce to the building up of the mu- nicipality. There is no way to obtain these within the lifetime of the pr % mence at once its improvement. Hard- ly a day passes that we are not told of the enormous development of trads that promises with the Orlental coun- tries. It s only a few days since that the president of the university, on liis return from the East, sald that the eyes of the ration were on this coast and its trade possibllities, and he said Berkeley was over, offering congratulations. Short- ent populaticn except by borrowing the money on bonds, and I favor mak- ing the improvements at once. But while all these things are necessary and will aid us greatly in securing an increase of population, I think that Oakland’s path to greatness lies in the recovery and development of her water front. It is true that pending the litigation our hands are tied as re- gards the water front company's claim, but there is an opportunity to obtain property outside of the water front company’s lines, and the city the building of wharves and oring should proceed to acquire it and com- trade to her shores. BRI RIR IR R o5+ ot eR 4508+ Beliele HolieR further that the President of the United States predicted a great future for the Pacific slope. The bay of San Francisco is the main objective point of this trade, and if Oakland expecls to participate in this trade and ex- pects to develop her commerce with her own State the time is at hand for action. I certainly favor bonding the city for Improvements, and especially for those things that will bring em- ployment, wealth and prosperity for her people, develop her water front by GeBNeRoRe NN HoR ook %o RoR %5+ RoRe ReNeR 4N ReRe Ro%e No Be%O : [-3-3-3-%-3-3-1 DECLINED TO APPLAUD THE PASSING SHOW Mrs. Darneal Was Not Present at Marriage of Her Daughter.
