Competition is recognized as a valuable aspect of educa- tion, and athletics provide a constructive means for this competition. In the fall intramural teams play football on Saturdays. This year seven Learns engaged in the light for the champitonship. At the conclusion of the regular season, the stars of the various teams participated in the interttlass championship games, the sophomores and juniors challenged by the freslnnen and seniors. Also in the fall was the pre-season basketball tournament. Winter brings girls' and boys' basketball games. More students participated in this year's basketball program than in any other previous year in Peabody's intra- mural history. Twelve boys' teams. divided into three divisions of four teams each, battled weekly lor the title. Two games were played each Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday nights. At the end of the season all twelve teams participated in a single- elimination tournament. Besides this active participation by the boys in the basket- ball prograln at Peabody, live girls teams played every Xtlednesday night, The thrilling climax ol' basketball was the interclass tournament in which the individual performers ol' the teams during the regular season joined the other mem- bers of their class, hoping to prove their class the strongest. The skill displayed by the participants was second only to the spirit by everyone. Each class selected cheers leaders to represent its hopes at the games, and a trophy was given to the squad chosen as the best during intermission at a dance after the finals of the tournament. Sfmt The Sophomore-Junior Tigers defeated the Freshtnan-Senior kc Q Rebels in the second annual interelass llag football game by a QQ 5 'H ' score of I3-7. The game, which rang down the curtain on the intramural season, was a rough and exciting contest from the opening kiekoll to the linal whistle. Both defenses sparkled except for moinentary lapses, The only score of the lirst half came in the linal seconds when Johnny Wlebb of the Tigers tossed a touchdown pass to Patil Murray. In the third quarter, Webb and Murray connected again for the Tigers. Milt Cooper scored late in the game for the Rebels, who threatened once more before the game ended.
