SIX BALL IN THE CORNER POCKET—These unidentified KU coeds make recreation time a
Women Take Cue From Men
If you see a coed powdering her hands instead of her nose, chances are that you're not 'shot'—it's just her turn to shoot.
A few game gals are taking a cue from men who get out from behind the eight ball with a billiard game in the Kansas Union recreation room.
Baseom C. Fearing, recreation manager, said women occasionally come in for afterauction games with other women or for evening games with dates. There aren't enough 'billardists' at KU now to form matched teams though, he said.
But there were teams in 1954. That spring the women really clacked balls across the green felt. The recreation room had just been opened and Mr. Fearing taught a billiards class for women in the
spring semester of 1954. KU entered a team in the intercollegiate meet. They didn't win, but one woman got into the finals, Mr. Fearing said.
Where To Play?
"After women learn the game their main problem has always been to find a place to play," Mr. Fearing said. "Home town 'pool halls' don't always welcome college girls. However many recreation parors have been putting up 'women welcome' signs during the last few years."
Mr. Fearing said he thinks women can outplay men at billiards.
"A steady hand and a fine accuracy are more important than muscles for this game. Women who have to learn from stretch are much easier to teach than men
who have played a little. Playing habits already formed are hard to break."
Billiards Require Balance
Men tend to use throwing and heaving motions of the football field for billiards or bowling, he said. Women aren't as close to the muscle sports and can develop the free swinging arm and delicate balance necessary to control a cue stick.
Mr. Fearing said he thinks many women want to play but are timid about coming into the recreation room. With a little encouragement they come in and when they get down the steps they've lost their "self-consciousness" and are ready to play, he said.
Snooker, standard and pocket billiards are played at the four tables in the recreation room.
