Most marvelous bright, warm day. Arose 7 A.M. To College 8-9. Home. Chored around. Played tennis with H.H. To chapel 12 to 12:59 M. To college. No chem. lab. Watched tennis team practice. Home. Pitched quoits. Wrote letter to Stella. Took walk around town. To bed 10 P.M. Thankful for health.
**********
Quoits is a game quite similar to horseshoes, except played with a ring instead of a horseshoe. The rings are typically made of metal, but can also be of other materials, such as rubber or rope. According to one website, quoits was more popular than horseshoes in the US until around 1930. Here is a British website that tells the long history of the game: UKQuoits. I wonder where Stanford went to pitch quoits and with whom?
