MEN 'S BASKETBALL INTERCLASS Minus the quintet representing the Junior and Senior classes. the Frosh-Soph tilts got off to a rather dismal start. Both teams being unexperienced, the first game was little more than ten individuals fighting for a round ball, which is called a basketball, but on that afternoon looked more like a football. There were more fouls in that game than there are on Dr. Potter's chicken farm. Finally, however, after all were untangled. it was discovered fto the amazement of the Froshj that they had won 36-29. Many appropriate re- marks were made after the game, but Folderol Fiorello's was most aptly put. I quote, We wuz robbed. kill da bums. In the last two games the story was quite different. The Soph placed a snappy five on the fioor which proved too much for the Frosh. Good passing and pivots told the sad tale of woe to the Freshman. In the first game, the score was in favor of the Sophs 46-35: and in the second game. 51-46. with Sophs again on top. INTERFRATERNITY Despite the shortage of men due to the present war situation, all three fra- ternities will be duly represented in the forthcoming interfraternity basketball games. At the time of writing, it looks like Kappa Phi will walk away with the championship, with Lambda Chi a poor second and Phi Alpha bringing up the rear. This is due, naturally. to the relative amount of material in each of the frats. fKappa Phi is the largest frat on the campusj The first game, between Kappa Phi and Phi Alpha was practically no con- test. Kappa Phi scored at will with McNamara and Pappas leading the parade to the foe's basket. For the losers, Jasen did a stellar job at defense. The final score was not very encouraging for Phi Alpha: they lost 51-31. There remain other games to be played, but from here it looks like Kappa Phi will run away with them all. l80l

C0-ED SPORTS TENNIS Clark's courts in the past few weeks have been busy with volleys from the Women's College. A tournament was originally planned for last Fall but the coeds decided to establish customs of their own. One of these is to have an annual tennis tournament in the Spring, Many girls signed up and so far Carol Burns, Heidi Burack, and Sue Colton are the favored few. At the time of PASTICCIO'S printing the winner was not apparent. However, the successful girl will receive a trophy and be hailed Women's College Tennis Champion. SWIMMING This year, President Atwood made arrangements for the girls to use the Y. W. C. A. pool Thursday afternoons, under the direction of Miss Hughes. The periods were divided into three groups: life-saving and water safety: swimming and diving instructions: and one devoted purely to recreation. Many girls worked for their senior life saving badge to enable them to do summer camp work: others entered the Red Cross class at Tech to get their instructor's certincate. A few worked on Governor Saltonstall's learn to swim campaign, which may soon become national. The candidates had to complete a series of tests before receiving certificates. At the end of the course there was a swimming and diving meet. Swimming has been popular this year and will be continued. ARCHERY The progress of archery was interrupted by the entrance of old man Wintei', but was resumed when Spring once more took over. Two instruction classes were held in the Fall, at which Miss Hughes explained the use of the instru- ments, and the precaution methods to avoid serious injuries. The girls get acquainted with the bow, the finger, and wrist strap. In the Spring. the regular field was used. The first part of the course was devoted to instructions. and later, tournaments were held. l.79l

Coed '46. an eight-man shell which was obtained through the proceeds from the scrap metal drive, held way back in the Fall of l942, and which was never officially christened, was nicked by the bottle this Spree Day. Dr, Nunnemacher took over the coaching end of things since Dr. lVlelder's departure from Clark last September for a government job. It took Nunny little time to End out that not only was the crew new to him but also rowing was new to the crew. Faithfully. the fellows practiced and yet every man was new except Carl Perkins, who is coxswain. After many strained backs and many crab catching expeditions, things were beginning to look brighter for the Crew, which consisted of: A. K. Stevens, Commodore: K. Schneider, Log Keeper: H. Abelson, A. Gurnnkel, Baxter, L. Jason, Kneller. McNamara, and C. Perkins, Coxswain: Dr. Nunnemacher, Coach. and Dr. N. D. Hoyt. Assistant Coach. By the middle of November they were ready to show their power against Tech, but alas-the lake froze over. Nothing could be done in the winter months-anothing to do but to hoist a two-man shell through a second story window and store it in a biology lab for Nunny to rebuild. As PASTICCIO goes to press, the Clark University Rowing Club's Spring schedule has not been completed. l8l.I
