In October came the first annual GAA Hallo- ween Party, with approximately 250 girls attending.

laorfa of .garb on oaral Um' .gjlziia Under the capable leadership of Commodore Louis Briner, the Intramural Department of South Side has weathered another victorious season. Mr. Briner has carefully mapped out a successful course each year which will suit the needs of every par- ticipant. ln 1924 only seven sports were included in the athletic program. but by this season approxi- mately twenty difirerent types of athletic competition were open to the boys. This season has also seen a marked increase in registration and participation. South Side's attrac- tive intramural setup has acclaimed the enthusiasm of hundreds of Archer boys eager to take advantage of such a splendid opportunity. Early last fall exactly thirty-three boys signed up for the horseshoe tournament. Those who sur- vived the stiff competition and came out on top were Robert Bredemeyer, lightweight champ, Rob- ert l-lirschy, middleweight successor, and Eugene Haines, the heavyweight victor. During the warmer weather of last fall seventeen boys put in many hot, but well-spent, hours on the tennis court. The winners in this event were Robert Shannon in the lightweight class, and Ralph Wer- ling and Don Stroebel in the middleweight and heavyweight divisions. Ralph and Don both re- ceived medals for their achievement. Tag football offered a healthy pastime to 114 in- tramural participants who made up twelve teams in all. In the lightweight bracket, the Dogpatchers won. Members of this team were Donald Stone, Bill Canderford, Bill Wissler, George Waldrop, Eu- gene Gettel. Robert Shannon, Albert Leakey, Don Clibon, Carl Simmons, and Richard Schmelham. The middleweight champions called themselves the Super Ralph meyer, brock, crown Harry Dallas Prunes and were composed of Paul Wuttke, Werling, Lloyd Doehrman, Robert Brede- Norbert Rehm, George Lohse, Earl Ham- and Richard Schmeding. The heavyweight went to the N.0.0.P. team, composed of Anderson, Don Rietdorf, Harold Werkman, Zuber, Wayne Ludwig, Bob Gildea, Harold Voight, Harry Hines, and Don Duiser. Another fall activity which claimed the time of fifty-two boys was cross-country. However, only forty took part in the Final run, which compelled gch boy to run twice around the stadium.

Exactly nineteen golfers turned out for competi- tion on the links. Tom Hall turned in the lowest score and was named champ. Henry Schaaf ranked second in golfing ability and Jim Rocks was awarded third place. When the colder weather set in, many intramural enthusiasts enjoyed the program laid out for this period. Bowling came hrst and twenty-two Archer bowlers participated in the twelve practice sessions held at the numerous alleys throughout the city. The General Electric Club was the scene of the bowling finals when Robert Miller was chosen heavy- weight victor, and Earl Hambrock stole the light- weight laurels. ln the handball tournament some 145 handball fans rushed to the intramural office to sign up. Mar- vin Reynolds was the heavy champ in the singles, while Bob Dalman and Bryce Augspurger captured the doubles honor in this weight class. Ralph Mey- ers won out in the middle singles and the duo com- posed of Paul Wuttke and Bill Wissler proved to be the high-ranking doubles team. Earl Hambrock copped hrst honors in the lightweight singles, while Paul Greiner and Robert Morton looked too good for the held in doubles. Sixty boys showed their interest in foul throwing. Three rounds were held for eligibility and the final winners were Robert Shannon in the lightweights, Don Clibon for the middleweights, and Raymond Vonderau for the heavyweights. Basketball drew 316 boys to the hardwood this year and this proved to be one of the largest turn- outs this activity has seen in South Side's history. Fifty teams competed and the final three to survive were the Badgers who were the lightweight champs, the Cats who sealed the honors for the middles, and the Flatfeet squad which survived the stiff heavy- weight competition. With all of the numerous activities set forth in the intramural schedule the South Side Intramural De- partment can expect to sail safely through many more years.
