The CARDINAL I936 I38 Intramurals The Intramural Department of Catholic University reports another successful season of play for the year of 1935-36. During the months of October and November two leagues of Touchball played a full schedule with the winners of each league playing off for the Campus Championship. This team in turn played with Maryland and George- town Universities in an Extra-Mural Tournament. Although Catholic University did not win this tournament, much pleasure was derived from playing against outside schools. Tennis and handball tourna- ments were also conducted with a fair representation in each sport. The winter season was mostly taken up in the playing of basket- ball with three leagues competing with a total of a hundred and twenty-two participating. Two leagues of four teams each were also organized among the seminaries with a total of eighty men playing. This means that two hundred have Played in organized basketball. During the month of March, tournaments in Volley Ball, Foul Throwing, Boxing, and Swimming met with a fair amount of success. The Spring season was regarded as the best of the year with base- ball being the outstanding sport. Eight teams, representing two leagues, played through a very close and exciting schedule. Next in impor- tance was the tennis tournament. Handball and play-ground ball also had a fair turn-out. It has been the aim of the Intramural Department to conduct its program for the benefit of the student body. Included in the pro- gram are games with superior carryover values. Further improvements and increased facilities for this program are included in the future plans of this Department.

The CARDINAL I936 Baseball The re-instatement of baseball as a minor sport at CU. is the masterstroke which changes 1935- 36 from a fine year into the finest year in the athletic history of the University. Regardless of the success of the team this first year, or how the schedule shapes up at the end of the season, this first step is an all-important one towards the goal of placing the University on a par with sim- ilar institutions in offering every facility to satis- fy the desires of its students for physical develop- ment. This first year will necessarily be a slow one for the Cardinal baseball team due to lack of equipment, material and a first class schedule. Yet, these very factors will be the ones to shape C.U. into the baseball school which it once was, and place it far up on the list of baseball ratings; for if, in spite of these handicaps, the grand old sport takes with the students it will Fanjul be because there is enOugh genuine interest and spirit in the student body to place it where it belongs. ' These first few years are delinitely trial ones for baseball, and its fate depends entirely upon the students. To date, indications prove that its reinstatement was no mistake. The tentative schedule includes Maryland, Georgetown, Navy, Mt. St. Marys and Western Maryland, and the squad which is working out under Dutch Berg- man and Doc Clarke is beginning to take on the appearance of a real baseball team. At the time this book is going to press, the interest of the students in general, the spirit and work of the candidates who make up the squad, and the work of the coaches in providing a schedule and shap- ing a team from the material at hand, are all factors which point toward a rosy future for C.U.,s baby sportebaseball.
