Way up! Falcons versus Quesmar. lost by the scant margin, of one point. The Falcons came back, however, to down an unusually strong Alumni aggre- gation and win by one point in the third overtime game in three starts. This was by far the most interesting game of the year. Cliff Axclson and joe Broderick fought it out for scoring honors, and when the smoke had cleared after thc battle we found that each had garnered eighteen points. The season's records reveal some startling facts. Even with our victories standing at four out of eleven games played, the comparative score discloses that the Falcons broke even with their opponents, each scoring a total of five hundred and one points. Broderick, high scorer for the season with 164 points, was followed by Archer with a total of 106. Graduation will take four of this year's Varsity, with jerry Archer, Stan Lewis, Foo Folsom, and Steve Scott relinquishing their maroon and white suits. joe Broderick, Elmer Grout, Dave Henderson and Arthur Petrie will remain to form the nucleus for next year's quintet. Thus closes a season of basketball that was perhaps not outstanding from the viewpoint of games won and lost, but was a most successful one in the satisfaction it gave-the satisfaction of getting physical, mental, and spiritual good out of giving one's best for the honor of his school.

INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL OUCH FOOTBALL marked the heginning of the intra' mural sports for this year. The league was organized and superf vised by Coach Louis Hart and his assistant, Haven Crum, who scheduled and officiated at most of the games. A highlight of the season was the large participaf tion and the hearty cooperation of the players. The league was comprised ol: six teams: Seniors 1, Crimson Tide: Seniors ll, Trojansg Jun' iors, Red Raidersg Sophomores, Bruinsg Frosh I, Alley Cats, Frosh Il, Green Hornets. The Junior Red Raiders, whose supe- riority estahf lighdd them as Seniors vs. Froslz prefseason fa' vorites, lived up to all expecf tations hy finishing on top hy a safe margin of two games. The Red Raiders won nine games, tied one, and played the entire season without a defeat. The Senior Crimson Tide man' aged to conquer all opposition except the juniors to finish in the runnerfup spot. Following the Junior and Senior I squads were Fresh I, Sophomore, Senior II, and Frosh II, in that order. The star of the Junior chamf pions was joe Broderick, whose sticky Hngers managed to pluck the pigskin out of the air even when he seemed to he completely su rroun ded by Qppgngnlgg, Jlllliflfs US. FFOSII Jerry Archer, the lleetffooted hack of the Crimson Tide, intercepted nu' merous passes for a generous share ofthe Seniors' points. Lady Luck played an important part in some of the encounters when the hall skidded from one play- er's hands to another's, hut ex' cellent hlocking and linework were the dominant 'Factors in the Juniors' victories. A great deal of credit is due Mariorie Cochrane, Edith Scott, and Beulah Fryer for the excepf tional way in which they kept the statistics of the games. Seniors vs. Soplzs
