Laude, attempts to get a start on the regular basketball season by forming two tournaments of light and heavyweight basketball players. These leagues are high- ly important as they tend to familiarize and develop players who later have a good chance to make the regular Rab squads. The lightweights were divided into six teams with Donald Cooper, Dick Horrall, Ray Hamlin, Clarence McCue, Stanley Carl- son, and Cassius Zuck as captains. Their players weighed 125 pounds or under. Each team played seven games, meeting all of the opposing teams once, and two of the teams twice. Cooper's team, composed of Bailey and Cooper, forwards, Kreker and Phillips, guards, Krivan, center, Ralston and Jensen, substitutes, won the lightweight tournament, this team having won all of its games. Hamlin's and McCue's teams tied for sec- ond place. The good that the intramural tournaments have accomplished must be apparent to all, as Krivan is now a guard on the Rah light- weight team, Philipps is a forward on the second team, while Kreker and Carlson are playing on the third team.
