Competition and sportsmanship are two of the qualities that the intramural department strives to support through its games and tournaments. Contests often become more than a matter of skill when pride comes into play. Many of the teams have been together for two or more years, many started out as purely athletic teams and developed close friendships that withstood the losses as well as the wins. Studio 26, The Acorns, The Family, and The Animals are all now familiar names around campus — they ' re ven better known within the doors of the Intramural office, it ' s these teams and other like them that provide the excitement that is a part of every intramural game and especially the tournaments. The Animals and The Acorns are two of the best known rivals in the women ' s division. Around mid-fall you just had to walk near the Oaks or Maynard and you could hear exchanges of We ' re going to kick your tail and How about a bet on that! Whenever these two teams come up against each other you can be as- sured of a contest, not only on the playing field, but on the sidelines, in the cafeteria, at The Lighthouse . . . anywhere.
