HE third period for both divisions is past the basket .. I ball season and not quite up to the baseball time, so volley ball is the major intramural sport. At first-years ago, say the old timers-this game was not considered so good, but in the past few season it has in- creased in popularity until at the present it can hold up its head quite as proudly as football and basket ball. To the un- initiated onlooker, there seems to be but little skill required in the game, but as one tries to lift hard serves clear of the net or to spike the ball on a return, it becomes evident that this is 21 game that requires plenty of team work and practice before one can expect to make a good showing. What with running, leaping about nimbly, and socking at the ball with both hands, there is plenty of chance for a first class workout and a few thrills extra in a game of volley ball. The faculty-when not too busy sitting in judgment upon the students-turn out and trim most of the teams that the various halls can produce. In Division A this year, Nash had everything its own way in the first loop, producing one of the best intramural teams seen around here for some time. The faculty scored six straight wins but lost the championship to Nash in the playoif. A large crowd witnessed the downfall of the more venerable team which occurred on the fifth Wednesday of the period. In the second league West defeated the Nash Seconds for the championship. Nash Hall was awarded the cup for points. 197
