The Junior College offered no formal football schedule for 1946. But the various departments of the college curriculum staged some intramural football games to determine which group could claim the championship. The team from the Liberal Arts department emerged the champs by virtue of a 6-0 victory over the Business Administration team. The Business Ad- ministration team had previously beaten the Pre-Medical team also bya 6-0 score. Marty Legatz coached the Liberal Arts team to the championship.
