INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL Intra-mural basketball eansed the most excitement for Moses Hall since intra- mural football. Competition was close between the Berry League, the Gooseberries, Raspberries. liilderberrics, and Cranberries, and the Nut League, the Do-Nuts, Peanuts, Chestnuts. and Bntternuts. Emerging from dither of games, the Goosebcrries and Peanuts clashed for the finals and after a elose battle. the Gooseberrics were defeated. Although their brand of basketball was better. they lacked the man-power to offset the strong Peanut team eaptained by Gus Sehimke.

The two highest scorers were Pnlver, with forty-two points, and Maher, with forty points.

Both regulation-size pins as well as duck-pins were victimized. During February and March a bowling tournament was held with six teams contesting.
