of Sports to Students Conducted as an extracurricular activity after school and at night, intramural sports provided a de- gree of competition that did not demand perfection but did create a desire to win and improve. This in- tramural program is also important because it helps the concerned people learn the importance of good sportsmanship and provides a form of enjoyable exercise. Basketball was the only intramural sport which was initiated before Spring Vacation. It was expected that volleyball, handball, flag football, speedball, and perhaps one or two other sports would be organized and initiated after the mid-term break.
