“More students play handball
than any other sports activity on
the campus,” said Professor C. E.
Tishler, head of the physical edu
cation department.
Coach Kay George said handball
is a sport which he definitely en
courages his linemen and backs to

“Not only is the game enjoy
able,” George added, “but also
playing handball helps our boys
gain agility and maneuverability
needed in good football players.”
Both George and Tishler agreed
the present handball courts were
inadequate. 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.
