Individual style often works better than stand- ard layup form, as Ed Cook demonstrates. Dick Delporte positions for a rebound. Basketball seems to be in the blood of many Hoosiers, and this year so much interest was shown in the sport that an intramural league consisting of 18 teams was formed, with seven usually on each team. The league teams played twice each week under the sponsorship of Mr. Wash- burn and Mr. Cahill. Boys were divided into two groups, the Red League and the White League. The Lions were the champions of the regular season Red League, and the Cowboys kings of the White. The leagues had team captains, and each team's captain helped to run the league. Several meetings and planning sessions were necessary to run the sched- ule as smoothly as possible, and to help plan the tourney at the end of the season. The Colts, under captain Don Kabrich, captured the tourney title over Fred My- rick's Giants, 93-89, to cap a success- ful intramural year.

' ruinettes' were istrict 4 volleyball champs Although the sporting world is pri- marily made for males, BHS proved that the opposite sex can hold its own in interscholastic competition. Taking part in six sports, the Bruin- ettes of Coach Miss Virginia Peckinpaugh got the District 4 volleyball title-after playing until 3 a.m. In badminton, Pam McConey reigned as the singles champ, and the team of Joni Phillips and Brenda White captured the doubles title. Gymnastics, track, and softball were three other sports that the girls participated in, besides the popu- lar female version of Hoosier Hysteria, The girls' basketball team won seven of its eight scheduled games, losing only to arch rival New Castle in the season's final contest. Blackford hosted the district invita- tional gymnastics tournament. In true Bruin spirit, the girls of BHS showed the county that basketball and volleyball famong othersj were not strictly for boys. .51 is Et'eryone'.t all eyer-except Bubbles Phillip: Crightj.
