Q5 Gillis, Hammersmith, Spinner, Lyons, O'Loane, Campbell, Rev. Leo, O. S. B. 7 1 Y ENNIS, though not a major sport at St. Martin's, has become more popular this year because of the lack of a high school baseball team. Rev. Leo Hansen, O. S. B., who has been tennis coach at the college for many years, is again coaching. His ability, as a coach and his experience have helped the team in every possib-le way, and with his continued aid the season should be a success. The team, with the exception of one man, is practically last year,s team. Spinner, Lyons and 0,Loane are from last year, Ellis being the new man. Hammersmith and Gillis are also out for a position on the squad. So far the team. has had but one outside match. Puyallup- High School was the Hrst to lose to the team in a hard, evenly matched game. Spinner and Lyons lost to Miller and Smith 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. O'Loane, paired with Ellis, took their doubles from Gray and Baldwin 6-4, 6-3. St. Martin's won two of the three singles events, Lyons taking Miller into camp in an easy victory 6-1, 6-0. Ellis also won from Baldwin 6-3, 6-4, while Spinner lost to Smith 6-4, 6-0. Other matches with Olympia, Lincoln, Stadium, Puyallup and Centralia High Schools are being scheduled and we feel confident that St. Martin's will have one of its best seasons this year.

REV. GERALD DESMOND, O. S. B. REV. RAPHAEL HEIDER, O. S. B. FR. PHILIP BAGAN, 0. S. B. I TRAMURAL THLETICS DIRECTGR 1 1 1 ESPITE the fact that inter-collegiate competition has of necessity received the lion's share of attention in field of athletics at St. Martin's, intramural sports have always occup-ied an important position. Infact, it has been the aim of' tho-se in charge of this important field of activity to interest every physically able student at St. Martin's in one or the other major sport. ' 'Ho-W well this worthy objective has been attained during the past year may be learned from a casual glance at the following p-ages. Leagues in football, basketball, base- ball, and tennis have been organized, with special, divisions in each to accommodate young and old, the beginner as Well as the experienced player. Schedules have been arranged, separate playing lields and reserved hours in the gymnasium have been provided for, appropriate prizes have been awarded-in fact, everything has been done to make these activities attractive. Fathers Gerald, Raphael, and Philip, as directors of intramural sports, have given their all to promote these activities. The arrangement of schedules, selection of referees, adjustments o-f line-ups after one or the other player had been disqualified-all these p-roblems needed experienced and expert direction. The satisfactory solution of these difficulties throughout the season reflected the Wisdom and the whole-souled interest taken b-y the directors, and those engaged in intramural sports have nothing but praise foritheir well directed efforts.
