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.

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.

BASEBALL WITH THE ADVENT of spring and a fair share of fine weather, the boys were anxious to play softball. Teams were organized, but only a comparatively few played consistently. The small number of teams in active competition is probably best explained by the ravages of that pes- tilence known as spring fever. During the last month of school some fine games were played. Two teams have shown exceptionally well up to the time of this writing. The Wolves, a collection of sophomores, has met and defeated some strong aggregations from other classes. The biggest surprise has been the showing of a plucky freshman outfit appropriately called the Shutouts. They have demonstrated their ability by going so far as to drub the finest team the Seniors could put on the field. They may well wind up the season with the title of intramural champs of softball.
