INTRA-MURAL BASEBALL UDGING from results, only one group was outstanding in intra-mural sports at Bider this year-the Sigma Nu clan, who captured the lntra-mural Basketball laurels, and then walked off with the lntra-mural Softball crown. Phi Sigma Nu won the first-half of the split schedule of Softball, while Sigma Lambda Pi emerged victorious in the second-half. This necessitated a playoff for the undisputed championship. After some deliberation as to where the three game series was to be played, the opening game was a pitcher's battle. Although Charlie Koch pitched a good game, his teammates were baffled by the submarine hurling of Smoky Ioe. The score was 2 to l. After the defeat in the opening classic, the Phi Sigs sought revenge. They apparently had cooled off before the second game got under way, for when it was over, they had handed the Sigma Pi's a l4-6 shellacking. Going into the third and final game, tied at one all, the teams went back to Cadwalder Park, the scene of the initial game. But the game was played on a different field. Manager Bennett's pitching selection was Charlie Koch, while playing manager Glick decided to give Harold Marcus a turn on the rubber. Sigma Nu hit no less than nine round-trippers during the seven inning game. The final score of this free hitting contest was 26-75 thus making Phi Sigma Nu's the crowned glories of lntra-mural Baseball.

I9 38 INTRA-MURAL BASKETBALL HE Phi Sigma Nu basketball team more than avenged their defeat at the Thgndg Of the Rip Rap boys during the last year's playoffs, for they eliminated the possibility of such a series by making a clean sweep of the ten games pQayed. The Bellevue Cagers, coached by Mario Rossi, that erstwhile varsity flash, twice defeated each of their five rivals in such good fashion that they had little competition from their opponents. Runners-up in the league were the Rip Rap boys, an independent combina- tion. The Hips had given the fraternity clan their toughest opposition during the series. ln both of their games with the Sigma Nu's, the Rip Piaps had either held the lead or tied the score when going into the last quarter: but the long range shooting of Charles Koch, the league's high scorer, proved too much with which to cope. With only a few minutes to play in each contest, the Sigma Nu star would sink' a couple of shots in quick style and finish the game. t ln addition to Koch as number one scorer were Patterson of the Rip Raps and Marcus of Sigma Lambda Pi.
