During the Fall, football and bowling predominated, but as the weather grew colder, the basketball court became the arena where the heated and closely contested intra-class struggles took place. Ping-pongland bowling continued throughout the year and then Father 8,0 Wh , 01m s lor me Ie ad pi fl. Herlihy, SJ., inaugurated the boxing tourna- ment .... For two weeks, the gym was packed with a howling, cheering crowd of devotees of Fistiana, watching their friends and classmates give and take the leather in ring-wise style. The intramural season was indeed a suc- cess, ior not only did it disclose a wealth of hitherto unsuspected talent, but it also achieved its prime purposeg that of having all the stu- dents actively participate in a physical training program. . , -5 ning Pong' Wfkin Me 'Mt 6

The field at Bennings echoed the crack of the bat and the thud of the well pitched ball as spring training got under way. After two weeks of intensive practice a squad of twenty was chosen to represent Gonzaga on the diamond. From this group of capable players, Coach Ioe Kozilc selected a start- ing nine which met and overcame the best teams in the district throughout the nineteen game schedule. Behind the masterful pitching of Gil Lansdale, who holds the District High School strike-out record, the team fielded and batted in winning style. Brilmyer and Carroll also performed capably on the mound. Atkinson, Zanger, Glenn, Hogan and O'Leary made up the steady infield, while Beatty, Tancredi, Crans- ton, Breads, and Gerhardt proved to be stellar gardeners. Front row. L.-R.-R. P. Gibbons, F.

The students, who because of a lack of time or ability were unable to seek positions on the varsity teams, took full advantage of the com- plete intramural program at Gonzaga. The competition between strongly supported class teams was constantly keen. And, of course, besides the desire to uphold the honor of the Picking out a receiver. class, the thought of possessing one of the many coveted awards was the added great in- centive which caused the games to assume the status of major contests instead of just being occasions of wholesome, body-building exer- cise. For this reason, the quadrangle, the large yard, the gymnasium and the bowling alleys were constantly put to good use by excited, competitive-minded students. And when the final results were published, the members of the teams representing 4-A, 3-C, 2-E, 2-A, l-B and l-C received their miniature iootballs and basketballs from Fr. Herlihy, SJ.
