GULF TE FIGHTS T KEEP MBIAC CROW ef J. Cowells tees off. Mr. katclzfard Z0 He New 6011611 In Mr. R. Ratchford, the golf team has its third coach in as many years. Mr. Ratchford is an excellent golfer himself and should make a fine coach. This season's front line will be built around four returning letter winners, Ron Freeman, Jeff Cowell, Scott Blonder, and Ed Daly. Freeman, who averages in the high seventies, will lead the team in their attempt to retain the MBIAC Championship. The rnain weakness of the team will probably be inexperience, since the return- ing golfers received little chance to play on last year's championship squad.

Also returning from last year's squad are Bill Hender- son, jim Coleman and Tom Stumbris. The Net- men are enthusiastic over their prospects and plan to begin practice as soon as good weather arrives.

Aww I TR - MURALS With today's emphasis on keeping fit, there is a strong effort being made by schools to ap- preciate the legitimate place and vital impor- tance of a good intramural program. Here at Prep, such a program has been in- troduced, under the able tutelage of Mr. Boyle, SJ., Mr. O'Toole, and Mr. Jakiela. In the fall, they conducted a highly successful touch foot- ball league, with teams formed on a homeroom basis. Games were played at Alumni Field, with the cooperation of Mr. Brosley and Mr. Lavery. The league was highlighted by playolfs to de- termine the various champions. During the winter, the moderators initiated a basketball league, with teams formed on an informal basis. This enabled the members of the student body to play with their own friends. Response was very good, as exemplified by the fact that fourteen Senior-junior teams and twelve Sophomore-Frosh squads, representing nearly one-fourth of the student body, took part. It is the hope of Mr. Boyle and his line staff that in the succeeding years, a representative student group will administer such an intra- mural program. Tentative plans for the spring include softball, and individual events fe.g. track meet, tennis and golf tournamentsl. An intramural banquet, for Winning teams and ex- ceptional performers, is also on the agenda. With such a varied program of sports activities, every- one at Prep should find something to interest him.
