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. CONVERGING ON THE ball, these two players fight to get the ball over the net during intramural volleyball practice. f at - y ggfrfgdzg YW Q Q . 1 't1L: 3 i A . ,- . T it V!

This year the Marauders improved greatly over the previous two years. The Cagers ended the season by tying with Wasson for second place in the South Cen- tral League. ln the first of six pre-league games, the netters captured wins against Arvada, Bear Creek, Greeley West, and Cheyenne Mountain consecutively. The Ma- rauders were ranked second in the state at this time. They started the S.C.L. season after falling to Man- ual and Greeley Central by losing to top-ranked Cen- tennial. The Cagers bounced back to defeat Harrison in a non-league game and narrowly fell to Wasson in a league game. Being tied with Palmer for last place after these defeats, the Marauders pulled themselves out of the cellar by defeating Palmer and were back on the track. After beating Palmer, the netters defeated Pueblo East, Fort Morgan, and Pueblo South to put themselves in third place in the S.C.L. ln the last game of the season, the Marauders de- feated the Trinidad Miners by a margin of fourteen points. The Cagers went on to compete in the newly organized league tournament. ln the league tournament the Marauders earned third place by beating Trinidad, 70 to 50, falling to Centennial 81 to 78, and defeating South 65 to 55.
