Volleyball Inter-Class Basketball Dog fanciers will emphasize the statement that a thorough¬ bred animal is the only kind worth paying any attention to, but the average youngster will tell you with equal emphasis that his mongrel is the huskiest pup in the block and that nothing can lick it. Which probably accounts for the fact that the basketball team that represented the first year drafting, ma¬ chine shop, steam and tractor classes battled through one of the most hotly-contested house league series that Tech has ever witnessed and emerged triumphant over other squads that were thoroughbred in their make-up. The inter-class hoop league was the only house sport that functioned properly this term. It provided basketball fans at the school with some nice exhibitions of leather tossing before the Intermediate league commenced, and it also made it an easy task to pick players for the school team. After a regular schedule which contained games of un¬ usually high quality, the first year composites and the senior electrical aggregations entered a three-game final series for the house championship. The first encounter was won by the elec¬ tricians with a wide margin, the second went to the composites by a single point, and the last battle was decided after the two teams had fought through forty minutes of hectic basketball to finish with a 25-24 tally in favor of the composites. The Zibrick and Moore pennant, emblematic of the house title, was presented at the banquet by Dr. Carpenter, the re¬ cipient being J. R. Anderson, captain of the team. The players who made up the winning team were: J. R. Anderson, F. A. Love, J. Rees, G. Carr, W. Schoeppe, H. Buck and W. Paterson. In the days of old, when Mr. Young was the baby member of the staff and Mr. Fowler was living a blissful existence as an ordinary science teacher, the game of volleyball was a staid and venerable indoor sport which served the utilitarian purpose of checking the growth of waistlines among members of the teaching staff. Annual conflicts between staff and students (at which the staff invariably appeared as victors) first attracted students’ attention to the game, and after a time it became a popular pastime, not only with the old men on the staff, but with the young men of the student body. Last year the sport migrated from the gymnasium to a court between the main building and shops, and interest promptly increased. This year volleyball was placed before the students by the appearance on the court of “Squeedunk” and “Mildew,” which names, translated into English, appear to mean Electrical 1 A and 1 B. There followed a series of noisy and exciting games which served to give indigestion to the Normal students eating in the nearby Cafeteria. At the present time there is good promise of a house league being formed. Several classes are already in shape for league games, and several others will be ready as soon as their members become sufficiently efficient in the art of. argumenta¬ tion to hold their own in the vocal conflicts that invariably run parallel to the physical battles.
