SPORTS program began in the fall with games sched- uled in football. Each team was limited to six men, and the general rules of touch football were followed. Several games were played each week during the noon hour, the most convenient time for the students. This schedule of football games was completed just before the Thanksgiving holidays. ln the meantime about fifty-four games had been played. Fourteen teams, comprising the Senior and Junior Divi- sions, took part in the contests. The Flatfeet emerged as winners of the Senior Division and en- gaged in a three game play-off with the Third Avenue Swing, winners of the Junior Division. These three games proved to be the most thrill- ing of the season. The first two games were split, each team taking a close contest. The championship was determined in the final game when the Flatfeet, showing that they were anything but slow afoot, ran all over the field and literally walked over their opponents. Members of the winning team were crowned intramural champs of football, and were appropriately awarded metals at the annual sports banquet held early in December.

SPORTS DURING THE PAST YEAR the program of intramural sports was revived and enjoyed unusual success. A definite program was organized for the major sports, and the students gave their full co-operation. The real purpose of this program was to enable boys who did not compete on the varsity teams to get a chance to play football, basket- ball and baseball. Most of the student body took advantage of the opportunity thus afforded. A great deal of interest was shown in intramural sports by the boys, and the participants as well as the spectators enjoyed the contests staged throughout the year. Each of the classes entered teams in the various sports, and definite schedules were drawn up and followed. Complete records of the con- tests and the current standings of the teams were published from time to time on a special bulletin board. lllembers of the lVlonogram Club assumed the task of acting as referees of the games. Competitive spirit ran high, and it is hoped that this same fine spirit will be carried on in future years.

These games were also played during the noon hour since it was the only time the Preps could have exclusive use of the floor. Two games were played simultaneously on the smaller floors. Twelve teams represented the Senior and Junior Divisions. Time for play was limited since the players had to have sufficient time to change clothes and get to afternoon classes. liflore than thirty games were played during the season. The Board ers proved to be the best quintet in the Senior Division, with several players showing great promise. ln the -lunior Division it was the Bas- keteers who set the pace. No playoffs were staged to determine definitely the intramural champ. However, the unofficial champs were the Faculty All-Stars who swarmed all over a picked quintet from the Senior Division.
