For his second year as sponsor of the Boys' Intramural League, Nlr. Paul Ross, boys' phy- sical education instructor, outlined a sports pro- gram that would start in September and con- tinue until May. Some of the sports in the proposed schedule include: tennis, football, basketball, foul shooting, volleyball, wrestling, pingpong, softball, and traclc. These sports are played in the same seasons as the various varsity activities, although competition is only between those boys who talce no part in varsity competi- tion. All of the events are run off in round rob- bin stvle, that is, no team 15 out of the race until it has los wo games Each of the homerooms selects a captain, who along with the captains of other rooms makes out the schedule and selects the referee's for his room's game. To de- termine the school champion in the various sports there is a playoff among the champions of the sophomore, junior, and senior classes. Emblems are awarded the champions of each class with the school champions getting the best emblems. Money for the emblems is earned by the homeroom captains through the sponsoring of dances, movies, and bake sales. There are no qualifications for membership into the Boys' Intramural League and all the boys belong. The Boys' Intramural League has achieved its main purpose of supplying clean wholesome fun for ron varsity athletes Row 1 tleft to right?
