BASKPI'1'l4ALL The athletic schedule of Balboa High School underwent a radical change last fall with the introduction of intramural athletics. This new system gave an opportunity for all boys to participate in sports rather than merely the few who were varsity material. The first sport to fall under the intramural program was basketball. One hundred and twenty boys responded to the call, and under the direction of Mr. Ward, language teacher, ten teams were organized and a playing schedule made out. Early in the intramural games, Arroyo's Los Macs and Michaelson's 'Sixty-Niners forged ahead, and throughout the season these two teams set the pace. In the end, The Sixty- N iners came out one game short and Los Macs were set for the series with Cristoba1's winning team. Unfortunately for us, however, in spite of Arroyo's brilliant shooting and Huff's con- sistent floor game, Los Macs fell under when they met the boys from the Gold Coast. All the games of the series were very closely played, Balboa losing two of them by one and two point margins. l Although it must be admitted that some of the students, especially the varsity men, have not been in favor of intramural games, after all is said and done it is more Profitable to have a large number rather than a select few receive this training in playing the game.
