Intramural 1n addition to the varsity squad under Coach Whaley, an intramural squad of about 75 members was organized under Coach Scheid. The purpose of this squad was to give boys who failed to make the varsity a chance to participate in the sport, also to develop material for the varsity squad. To create more interest the squad was divided into teams representing the leading colleges of this section. A pull-robin schedule was drawn and the games were played on Mondays and Wed- nesdays. Much interest was shown in these games not only on the part of those participating but also among many outsiders. The teams were very evenly matched thus making some very inter- esting and exciting contests, With completion of the schedule Northwestern', and Chicago' were tied for first and Notre Damei' was next in line. lt was decided to play off the tie, also to have a picnic-supper for all boys who had competed in the sport. This special attraction created much interest among the boys. At last the given time arrived, and there was hardly a boy missing. The game was first on the program and what a game it turned out to bel Northwestern jumped into a 2-O lead at the quarter but were trailing 4-2 at the half. They were still trailing 85 at the three-quarter mark. During the last period Northwestern came back strong with but forty seconds to go. Chicago was leading 10-9 and then Bailey dropped in a pretty one to give Northwestern the game. The eats were next on the program and how those boys did eat! After every one had eaten their full, Coach Scheid presented the Northwestern team with a silver loving cup. Eddie King was presented with the Rubin trophy for the player making the most fouls in the league games. Captain Tom Wylie of Nebraska was given the 'Mansfield Cup as Nebraska made the most fouls as a team. lt was then announced that medals would be given to the members of the North- western , 'LChicago and Notre Dame teams at a later date. lt is hoped by everyone that the Intramural Meet will be an annual event in the school organization.
