The war between Adelphi ond Sciiens goes on . . Adelphi champs again . . . The intramural sports program has developed greatly during the past few years to provide the battleground for wars between the various social clubs on Harpur's campus . . . friendly skirmishes these are, of course. A healthy attitude toward inter- club competition has been developed on the athletic fields and has resulted in a spirit of good will between the various organizations. Action took place last spring on the softball diamonds of Mersereau Park, the area football fields during the fall and the local basketball courts this winter. A record number of students participated in these sports. There was also, this winter, a girls' basketball team. Fencing was added to the list of extra-cur- ricular sports activity this spring. Intramural sports were instituted at what was then Triple Cities College in the fall of 1947 by director of athletics Gene Welborn. Each year, in- intramural sports terest in the various sports has increased until now each one is impatiently awaited. The program is especially important at Harpur since inter-collegiate athletics, with the exception of basketball, is neces- sarily limited. In football, Adelphi and Saiens battled it out for top honors. Saiens led for most of the season, but were defeated by Adelphi and finished the season in a second place tie with the Goliards. Action was thick and fast and sometimes bewild- ering at Mersereau Park. Occasionally, the ball car- rier scored unnoticed as some games were finished in semi-darkness. In intramural softball the Adelphi nosed out the Married Vets by a score of 11-8 in the playoffs. Adelphi beat off the Goliards toward the end of the basketball schedule but lost to Baccacia, the intramural basketball championship of the 1950-51 season.
