Roy heaves the ball to win for the Sophomores. One of the Athletic edi- tors invaded Coach Ew- art's room on the third floor with the question, t'What is the value of in- tramural athletics? His reply may be summed up in the following paragraphs. Although there has been some justified critic- ism of the usual type of athletic program in high schools and colleges in years past, there are few people today who would not agree that the merits of athletics far exceed their less desirable features. The opportunities which sports give for developing such highly desirable characteristics as loyalty, Page Sixteen sportsmanship, cooperation, initiative, determina- tioin, and the like are generally unquestioned, and they have come to be accepted as among the most necessary elements in school life. The construction of large gymnasiums and playing fields which pro- vide the facilities for participation in sports, makes it evident that those of experience fully recognize their value and are anxious for their children to have the experiences which athletics offer. It is the purpose of the intramural program to offer to every boy in school the opportunity to take part in the sports of his choosing, and to enjoy and benefit from these experiences.

ATHLETICS skill or proficiency is required or necessary to the contestants in any sport, although proficiency is recognized by determining champions in the various activities. The prime purpose of any tournament however, is to experience, Hthe fun of the game, rather than to establish champions. It is hoped that such participation will not only offer temporary pleasure, but will also help to cr'eate an interest and a desire to take part in wholesome athletic ac- tivities throughout life. The intramural program is administered in every detail by a group of Junior and Senior boys comprising a sports committee known as The Intra- mural Athletic Board. This group determines what sports shall make up the season's program, and each personally supervises the administration of at least one sport a year. The cfzmmittee this year was made up of Edward Slutz, Eugene VVhipple, Jim Tedrow, Curtis Conant, Gerry Edwards, and Bendy Nathan. VVhatever success intramurals ex- perienced is, to a considerable degree, the result of the efforts of this group. The editor thanked Coach Ewart for his opinion and went on his way to find out just what had been done along this line this year. He found out that there had been quite a bit of activity. In the first place he discovered that the Fall program had been centered around two events, Touch Football and Tennis. The first was an inter- elass affair while the Second was individual. In the first event the Seniors defeated the Juniors and the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen. Then the Seniors defeated the Sophomo1'es to win the Touch Football title. There were eleven entrants in the Tennis Tournament. Of these several were eliminated in the first round. The final match was played between Albert Ehringer and Edward Slutz, both members of the Senior Class. Ehringer was the winner. Among those ente1'ed were Harold Sapp, Jim Pitch- er, Francis Bouxsein, and Eugene Whipple. YVinter Intramurals were chiefly concerned with Basketball intermingled with Checkers and XYrestling. The Basketball tourneys were played off in three series through the Home Rooms. In the first group every team played every other team. The winners of these games then played each other while the losers did the same. Then a final tourna- ment was arranged according to the results of these games. In this Room 208, a Senior Home Room was the winne1'. Several entrants took part in the Checkers Tournament which was won by Glenn Allen. As for wrestling about sixty boys entered. At the time this section goes to press the results are not known. The spring program will consist of an inter- class track and field meet and another tennis tourn- ament. - --:Q 1' s' g ulllKll'.llll'.llUlClSIlill1llll 'liILll Vl'1 A :H-szaaQm,t .- -.-----.-.- 4-' A , . i wan. 1 - E , y:: , ,v:f,..vv:3:!, .0 1?1 .L 456.1 X . - 4-A ' gee! , Q.. -' fl if K' ' vvo 4 9 ' ' ' v 9,s:s 0090009939941 ' s Q 0 Q O O , sf-sfvgfsa-Qwiww ' .
