MASSAGE ROOM IN ATHLETIC BUILDING USED FREQUENTLY

"Students Have Not Enough Curiosity," Says Rubber

Although many men are frightened away from the massage and steam room on the third floor of the Indoor Athletic Building because they are under the impression that n additional fee is charged for services, on an average of 12 athletes take advantage of its facilities every day and have their kinks rubbed and steamed out, under the vigorous pummeling of S. R. Gerard, masseur.

"If the average student had a little more curiosity, I would have a great deal more rubbing to do," confesses Gerard. In addition to the boxers and wrestlers whom he bakes and soothes regularly. Gerard is visited every afternoon by pseudo--athletes presumably seeking the eternal Fountain of Youth. Mr. Gerard also objects to the type of student who vaguely wanders into his office, luxuriously stretches himself out upon one of the tables, and demands to be rubbed "Oh, anywhere, Might try my back: I'm all tired out.

If a man has wrenched a muscle swimming, or pulled a tendon running, Mr. Gerard will be only too glad to work over him.
