INTRAMLIHAL SPORTS BASEBALL The finish of the intramural baseball league this year saw the Alpha Delts victorious. They were closely followed by the Dolan-Rock organization and the Gaels. The last two games on the schedule showed the best and the worst ball played during the season, with the Alpha Dells winning one of the sweetest games in many a season by a score of 3-2 over the Dolans. In the other debacle the Dolans came through to win over the Gaels by the football score of 19-18. Three runs in the last half of the last inning gave the Dolans their victory margin. SUNIMAIHY Other sports conducted during the year by the Intramural Board were swimming, which was won by the Zephyrsg pool, handball, track, and bowling, which were also taken by the Do- lan-Rocksg and boxing, which was won by the Phi Mus. One of the biggest upsets of the year was the total point outcome of the competition. The Zephyrs, a freshman organization, came through in the final weeks of the school year with a score that threatened to take the title from the longer established teams. Final winner of the year in intramural competition had not been determined at the time of publication but the Dolan-Rocks were ahead in organization totals followed closely by the Zephyrs and the Gaels. Widl the leading squad listed at 2331Ag points and the two followers at 228 and 205 respectively, there was still some question as to who stood the best chance of ultimately coming out on top. The competition this year has not been up to standard in some of the sports while in others, notably baseball and basketball, the majority of the teams showed that they were really out to play the game. Without exaggerating the worth of intramural sports it can be said that this year they would have enabled many more men at Loyola to gain the experience and physical development for which they are designed if they had been administered a little more properly. The trouble and hardship that confronted the board in trying to get the gymnasium at regularly scheduled times should not be present. The intramurals are for the ordinary student who, in the long run, pays for everything at the school. It should be his privilege to come before or at least in line with the other users of the athletic facilities. The traditional rivalries that feature all I-M sports were more than ever present in baseball. With most of the teams rather evenly balanced it was never hard to find a hot contest in progress. The added incentive of beating old rivals certainly increased the number of teams entered in the competition and also provided the necessary stimulus to the playing of good baseball instead of the usual punt and prayer type that has sometimes been committed on the I-M field. 273
