THE GULF TEAM Golf is another sport that cannot be covered in the LOYOLAN because of its late start. Most of the book has been compiled before the team gets its first chance on the fairways and greens. This year the Loyola squad has found itself lacking in time for practice and also has the problem of replacing almost the entire team of last year which was lost through graduation. Composing the team this year will be three men from the Medical School and one man from the Arts campus. Representing the pill-tossers department of the Univer- sity will be Ray Grunt, a veteran of last yearls campaigns, and two newcomers to varsity golf at Loyola-Bill Lee- , mach and Ted Henz. The captain of the team, Joe Lynch, is the lone Arts campus man on the regular squad. However, be is backed by two alternates from the Rogers Park division of the University-George Kane and Bob lVliller. During the practice rounds the team showed very well and with two members, Lynch and Renz, shooting in the high seventies they can be expected to pull down their share of the vic- tories Lnyola has specialized in this year. The schedule for this year will include home and liome arrangenients with Marquette and St. Ambrose and home meets with Wayne University of Detroit and the Armour Tech squad of Chicago. Out of town meets only will be played with Vlfestern State Teachers College of Kalamazoo and St. Louis University. The increasing interest of the students in all departments of the University augurs well for the future of golf at Loyola. Twenty candidates from all parts of the school turned out. 269 GOLFSTERS.

TP1AlVlllP1. BU RD Under the leadership of intramural director Dick Bren- nan, and assistant director Joseph Czonstka, the 1936-37 Intramural Board completed the most successful season in the four years of its existence. With Alex Wilson and , Leo Newhuusc acting as moderator and secretary respec- tively, the Board worked in perfect harmony to achieve their goal-to interest the students in extracuwicular activities. One of the chief aims of the Board was to interest a greater number of students in intranntrals. This intra- athletic competition among the student body is for the express purpose of getting all the students to participate Rirlmrd S. Brvnmin, Jr. l1lllECT0ll not. And in this the Board was very successful, for almost every event had a record numher of in athletics whether they excel in that particular sport or entries. And every organization entered at the beginning of the year. A new system for running the tournaments was evolved this year. A sophomore was ap- pointed to run each tournament, and he was assisted hy two freshmen pledges. The sopho- mores selected for this work were Bob Birren, ,lack Driscoll, Ed Siunott, and Russ Koepke. Assisting these men as pledges were Chuck Rafferty, Bill Rafferty, Bill Moynihan, Bill Gib- bons, and Vince lVlarazano. Outside the Arts campus, the Medical School completed an unusually successful season, hut the Law and Dent schools were, as usual, lacking the zip that makes for successful iutramurals. Following the plan that was introduced last year with such singular popularity, an lntra- mural Night was sponsored by the Board at which the Hnal contestants in all the intramural tournaments engaged in final play. 270 THE INTRAMURAL BOARD.

THE WIMMI TEAM Loyola was represented this season by one of the most spirited, if not one of the most successful swimming teams, in its history. Coach Alex Wilsoll, in his fifth year as tank instructor, whipped a small inexperienced squad into good enough shape to maintain a .500 won and lost average. Bill Spoeri, who performed on the crack aggregations of former years, was elected captain at the start of the sea- son. He, together with Mortimer Joyce, Ken Kruckstein and Bob White, swam in the free style sprints. Marty Oishaughnessy and Bob Evenson splashed in the distance crawl. The hreastroke was handled by AI Burke and Chuck Jasiel.
