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.

Messner-Hunter Gehres-Hogan-Strada-McDonald Dodge-Hcntschcll-Desmarai5-Woods-Lang Jon LEAG E 1 1 1 LL of the boys who did not make the Varsity or High School football squads had plenty of opportunity to play real football in the leagues, major and minor. The major league was divided into three teams-Army, Navy, and Notre Dame- which were cap-tained by Strada, Carr, and chiappa, respectively. A The major league was under the direction and instruction of Father Raphael, who arranged heavy schedules for all the teams. The rivalry was hot and the teams well matched. Consequently, numerous contests ended with only one point difference in the scores, and many games ended in ties. Each team had played about fifteen games before the series ended. A ' A Captain Strada and his Army team won the Major League tournament with nine victories, two defeats, and four ties. His team included! James Hentschell, Jimmie Woods, Andy Desmaris, Joe Desmaris, Louis Lyons, Jack Hogan, Joe Lang, Lane Dodge, Bob Gehres, and Bonnie Hubbard. At the football banquet, held in the college refectory, Father Edward presented each member of this team with a football letter. Captain Chiapp-a and his Notre Dame team took second place, and Captain Carr's Navy team was third. Both these teams gave the winning eleven many close rubs, and they tried hard to top the list. No doubt some of the boys of the Major League will be placed in regular positions on the squad next year. xjilvsx--.,' . 7--.W .-Ev. 'i i wits.:-ii? ' 21, Lf , - M , .
