Tishler added that A&M could easily use 20 new hand ball courts. Tishler give three reasons A&M could not build new handball courts in the near future: 1. The large space which hand ball takes up (almost the size of a small two story building). 2. The present construction of the costly new P. E. plant. 3. The future plans for re modeling the present P. E. plant. Tishler concluded that if new and better courts could not be built soon, he would like to see repairs and better lighting for the present, poorly conditioned courts.
