SNSXX A leg split with her head touching her foot is one move Regina Champagne did as the gymnastic club held an intra-club meet Running for daylight is difficult if the runner can't see it, as Ellender and Meade dorms battle it out in a powder puff football game l 48 The King of Sports lt's that long sought after moment, when you're above the other armchair quarterbacks. That moment in the spotlight when Pistol Pete Maravich couldn't stop you or Don Shula couldn't have called a better play. Intercollegiate sports create a distinct line between competitor and spectator. Special athletes play unfamiliar opponents in strict adherence to the rules. But then there are intramurals, the sports which allow the' average student to take the field against other afternoon athletes. The names and styles of play of the teams always reaffirm the world it is not boring. Names alone can provide hours of enjoy- ment. No one can doubt what the Bayou Boozers and J. D. 8 Seven do off a basketball court. The Short Ones must believe in pysching out their volleyball opponents, while the Sweat l-logs have their idols. No questions are asked about the conduct of BMP or SOB., while Bad News tells the curi- ous what to expect. Physical education majors assist Coach Clark Smith, director of men's intramurals, as referees. lVlen's football intramurals had the largest turnout with four leagues, six teams in three and seven in the fourth, The teams, each with a 16-man roster, com- pete in flag football, each player wearing two flags attached to his waist.

He fell dovvn in the endzone before making the vvinning catch, Play continues on a muddy field as a fumble into a ditch means more splashing and mud than football being played by either team, one league to guarantee stiff competition among the teams. The larger fraternities man more than one team, as the names TKE Cherry, Pike Gold, PKT Bed and the Phi Mu Actives prove. When the regular season ended, the finishes were: Southern League: West Bank All-Stars first and Bayou Boozers second and in the National League: PZK first and Fourchon Boad second. Winners in the American League vvere TKE Cherry first and Pike Garnet second and in the Continental League: BMP first and Top Team second, The playoffs began as Fourchon Boad defeated TKE Cherry 25-7, the Bayou Boozers defeated BMP 13-7, Pike Garnet vvon on first dovvns over PZK after a 20-20 tie and Top Team beat the West Bank All-Stars 22-18. ln the semi-final round, Fourchon Boad set up a meeting vvith Pike Garnet for the title after a 34-7 vvin over the Bayou Boozers. Pike Garnet reached the finals defeating Top Team on first dovvns after a 13-13 tie. A close struggle never appeared as Four- chon Boad captured the title easily 37-14.
