In in- tramurals, the Sophomore -Junior team put a 2-1 edge over a fighting Freshman squad in the third game of the women ' s hockey tournament, and Yankee Stadium uppcd with a surprise victory over heavily favored Old North, 31-19. This left Coward, Coble Co. to face the unbeaten Clowns for the foot- ball championship. 2nd . . . Under a cold grey No -ember sky the Clowns rode again as Coach George Poggioli ' s charges ran away from the out- manned Yankee Stadium .sextet in the second half. Held to a 26-24 margin at half time, Mann, Grubb, Kaufman, VVhiteomb, Lupcr, and Ferrell got busy and took the champion- ship by 45-30. Coach Toad sat on the side- lines and griped. 5th . . .

Greensboro ' s contractors were gi en a chance to make Guilford ' s dream coinc true. loth . . . The Freshman class met with true Freshman spirit and planned a class picnic. 1 2th . . .
