tion of several non-student players. The Soccer team will still play as an independent and hopes that ASGU can throw more funding their way. Gonzaga University Athletic's strongest asset, the Intramural pro- gram felt no pain in 1971-1972, add- ing another sport in the Spring, mern's slow pitch softball and strengthening the innertube basketball program, now in its sophomore year. lt was a year of upsets in the men's intramurals, the only team that built a dynasty and kept it being, Joey Au- gust's a men's fast-pitch softball team. The Botchagaloupies, winners since Bud Presley's days, finally suc- cumbed to the Front Street Review in men's basketball. And the Kota Skata's the John Miller- quarterbacked flag football team, fell handily to the Lioners in the Fall championship. written by- Bill Burnett photographed by- Staff mm .3 54-vase ff: 14211 4 W., we Mmm' X C. by Siu 1' 1 1'

The Zags are most likely the hottest thing in Collegiate baseball favored, not losing a contest since the middle of March. A victory there could take them to the Regional Championships where an- other could take them to the NCAA Collegiate World Series, a place no Zag baseball squad has ever been. 'AWe've won the good ones handily and we've slipped by with some too, Koentopp said. What I have to attribute our success to is confidence. We are not afraid out there. The degree of dif- ficulty of our schedule helps us out there. Each year we take a trip to California where we play some of the nationls collegiate powerhouses like University of Southern California, San Fernando State College, and UCLA. These games get any type of fear out of our systems. By going down to California early, we get ahead of some of the other teams in the area. What makes us successful is that the players want to stay ahead. Fortunately, we usually do.' Koentopp credits most of the defensive prowess to his corps of four pitchers, Mike lVlcNeilly, Steve Kertz, Wade Carpenter, and Mike Davey. lVIcNeilly, the most consistent, has been drafted by the professionals three times, but prefers to finish his college ed- ucation at Gonzaga first. On the offensive side of the diamond, Koentopp credits the at- tack to speedster, Jerry Rogers. jerry is, more than anyone, the key to our offensive attack. If he gets on base the pitcher is afraid he'll steal. l-le becomes rattled and has a difficult time throwing to the next batter. ln this way we've started more than one rally. Jerry is the type of guy that really makes things happen, Koen- topp said. While the Zag win streak zoomed to 28 games, Koentopp felt that Hat least fifty per cent of the wins can be attributed to that recent phenomenon called The Snake Pit. Sort of an alcohol- drenched combination of Chicago's bleacher bums, and Don Rick- les, the Snake Pit has, many a time, contributed to the ignominy of an opposing teams physical or mental mistake. HThe players are really glad to see the Snake Pit functioning, said Koentopp. Mc Neilly says, 'get the Pit out, we need 'em.' So, the baseball team shoots for a National Championship in 1972 and Larry Koentopp feels that they, f'Are an 85'Zn better team than we were when we lost to USC two months ago. Overwhelming student support of a referendum to fund the Hockey Club has resulted in continued ice-time for the Zag skat- ers. After placing second in the PIHL lPacific lntercollegiate Hockey Leaguel in the 1970 campaign, the funding difficulty had the team lose ice-time for practice and games. The shortage of pracitce pushed the team into third place behind Selkirk College r rand University of British Columbia. Early scheduling and COHVCH- ient practice time should give the Hockey Club, with their en- thusiastic Canadian management and their dedicated coach Dan McDougald a chance to rise again to the top of the standings. The waterpolo team, the Bullfrogs, under the go-get-'em di- rection of Ed Hagan was established as a squad this year, but with Hagan leaving with the graduating class of 1972 doubt arises as to future successes. The Soccer club blossomed again in the Spring with the addi-
