Show I know it s up here Monotonus isn't it? Men's Intramurals started out in the fall with Excelsior, last year's winners of the revolving trophy, and Sigma snarling at each other on the touch football field. Sigma went all out to head the league, and after several bitter contests, with the "E" men in particular, successfully ended up in first place. Second and third slots went to the two Excelsior teams with Alpha Rho and Phoenix tying for fourth. Student interest had been high in football, but as intramurals turned to volleyball things began to lag. Dr. Anderson, faculty director, had predicted at the first of the year, "Our Program will be curtailed somewhat in intramurals due to the split campus." His prophecy came all too true when the indoor sports were moved down to the lower campus. Many volleyball games were forfeited because of non-participation, and forfeitures were common throughout the rest of the year. As a result of the games that were played, Phoenix came out victorious with first place. Excelsior, Alpha Rho. and another "E" team took second, third and fourth, respectively. The freshman and sophomore class sponsored a ski meet at Snow Basin and interest revived briefly, due no doubt to the partial school holiday for those who attended. The ski bums of Alpho Rho had the largest total score, though a member of Sigma had the best individual time. _ _ Hey you guys, it's my turn now. "Allah!" I feel like I'm walking on air You heard me, now let go! Look, I can almost touch my toes! Basketball was Excelsior's big moment. They swept the field by taking every spot but third, a position Sigma filled. Excels's three teams won. but they only received points for two of them. Their third team, though it added nothing to their own total, did take 40 points away from the other clubs by filling a winning spot. By the last of January the total combined score showed Excelsior with 350, Sigma with 310, Phoenix with 1.80, and Alpha Rho with 70. This line up-continued static throughout the course of the year, with the only change taking place in scores, as the "E" men pulled ahead by an even greater margin. First place in water polo went, as usual, to Excelsior. Alpha Rho took a second place for the first time, and Phoenix and Sigma brought up the final honors. During Spring Quarter, Softball, tennis, and track, became the ofocal points of the intramurals. There were few surprises and no upsets. As this book goes to press, activities and total score points have jelled enough to predict that Excelsior will win the second leg of the revolving trophy. Just call me "Crazy Leg." |
