Basketball is always the most pop- ular intramural sport. Played indoors in Varsity Gym, the competition is both the most fierce here as well as the least. Teams form to vie for a cham- pionship or to vie for some afternoon entertainment. Either was pleasing. 300 Sports

Fun And Victories ASU ' s club football team didn ' t have a bright 1980 outlook with the annual decline in the club s membership continuing and the newly-formed jayvee football squad soaking up extra varsity football players. Usual club problems mounted persistently and lack of coverage hindered the club. Despite the problems, however, the team marched on as one of the more consistently successful sports organizations at the University. For the fifth consecutive season, the club made the state playoffs, and another winning season was on tap. That ' s a nice change of pace for a team whose platooning system allows for all members to play and is on the field to have some fun.
