Mr. james Haines, assisted by Brother Robert Leamnson, directed the Saturday morning contests. Bring- ing about a chance for those who are unable to partici- pate in varsity sports to enter the athletic program, the intramural games foster a greater cooperation and sports- manship among the players. It is a good chance for more students to use the facilities of the school, and the in- terest generated is evidence of its wholesome effect. In the final play-offs, the strong Medigons captured the junior-senior title from the Dunkers. Before the upper league game on Friday, March twentieth, the crowd of backers watched the upset of the Argonauts over the Camel jockeys, as they stole the freshman-sopho- more championship by one point.
