Girls' Sports The basketball league was the forerunner of a host of activities for girls interested in athletics. Under the competent leaderslxip of Mrs. Kenneth Short, a program has been built up that is still expanding. This will make the co-ed athletic program an integral part of college life. Following basketball, a volleyball league was formed for teams composed of boys and girls, as well as a league for girls only. This was a success, and another league will be formed next season. Other activities on the agenda in- cluded badminton, tennis, ping pong, swimming, and indoor softball. Considering what has been accomplished in the short time that girls' ath- letics have been active at Cleveland College, it is safe to assume that they will be part of the program for a long time to come.

Varsity Swimming Probably the most active varsity sport in which Cleveland College men participated was the Red Cat swimming team, which had nine of its sixteen members hailing from the downtown center of the University. Top-notch Cleveland College swimmers on the Reserve team were Tom Izant, Bill Varga, and Bud Thompson. Izant, who specialized in the 220-yard free-style and 100-yard free-style events, was one of the highest point-getters on the squad. In most of the meets he also anchored the 400-yard free-style team, which usually took a first. Thompson usually swam in the 440-free-style and took a number of firsts in that event. Varga is a backstroke artist who swam in the 150-yard backstroke and also in the medley relay events. Other Cleveland College mermen on the Reserve tank squad are Paul Forquer, Glenn Wendell, Fred Selsor, Walter Sawchik, Bill Long, and Lenny Burnham.

Ten-P111 George Dick Robert Ralph Robert Asst. Dean Gluvnn Sedlak Atkinson Vesely Tuneberg Andrew Hendrickson For the first time in history, an organized Bowling League has been for- mally introduced into the fast-rising list of extra-curricular activities. The league was formed on December 2, 1946, when Leonard Axelband and the team managers met to map the plans, draw up the schedule, and write the rules for the league. At this meeting, Ed Drabin, captain of the Tigers, was elected president. Chuck Williams, captain of the Kingpins, was elected vice president, while Bob Matthews and Dave Brown, who head the Zeta Stingers and Spares, were elected co-secretaries. Russ NWolff's Keglers and Jerry Kucera's Zeta Ringers rounded out the eight-team league. On December 15, 1946, at the Clair-Doan Alleys, the new league was spanked into life. Its first words, resounding through the alleys, were, Oh my Gawd, a 7-10 split! However, during the ensuing weeks, less aches and pains and more strikes and spares were encountered.
