Note enclosed in sleeve: A brand new sport has taken San Jose State College by storm! It is the good old backlot game of horseshoes. First introduced by the men who formed a club, classes and even arranges for credits on their athletic requirements, the women have taken it up with equal enthusiasm. The game is played with regulation posts 40 feet apart and shoes that would fit the world's champion Percheron stallion. Patricia Blackweed, who is organizing the women's division, says that with lighter shoes the girls expect to meet the men this spring in competition. Pictured are Patricia Blackwood throwing, Kenneth Friel standing that Gabriel Velez, the college horseshoe champion, squatting.
