More Handball Courts Needed.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The growth of the game of handball in the University has been little less than remarkable. Whereas a few years ago this game was hardly known here, it is now fast becoming one of our most popular sports. There are more men who rely upon handball for their daily exercise than the number of candidates for either the track team or baseball nine. But although the number of men playing handball has greatly increased, the facilities for playing the game have remained stationary. It is not an uncommon sight to see a number of men waiting impatiently for the chance to play; and many of them who are unable to secure courts are daily forced to get their exercise in the Gymnasium instead of outdoors. Now, it is not possible, with a little outlay, to use the other side of the Gymnasium fence for handball courts, or, if this is not feasible, would it not pay to build extra courts in some unoccupied part of Holmes Field?
