INTRAMURALS VOLLEYBALL OLLEYBALL was the second event in the intramural sports curriculum. The large Senior and Freshman classes were each represented by two teams, whereas the Juniors and Sophomores each had one team. The season was divided into two parts. The highfjumping Juniors captured the iirst round, but the second half of the schedule saw the Juniors tie with the scrappy Sophomores for the top position. In a playod series for the championship, the juniors snatched the first two games to become the volleyball champs for 1939. The Freshmen I players made a decided bid for top honors, but the best they could pull out was a third place. Finishing in the last three spots were the Senior I's, Senior II's and Freshmen lI's. A great deal of interest was shown in this year's volleyball schedule. Excellent cooperation by the participants and rooters combined with good generalship to become the main factors which made for an exceptional season. Sir sir INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL LASS LEAGUE BASKETBALL reached a new peak of competition and interest this year, and the steamfrolling quintet wearing the Freshman gold sent statisf ticians dusting off old record books as they highfpowered their way to the intramural championship of 1940. Displaying a furious passing attack, accurate markmanship, tight checking, and splendidly organized by Coach Joe Broderick, the Frosh started to roll with the opening whistle of the season. Wheii the smoke of the class league battle had cleared away, they were riding high in first place with a string of eleven victories against one defeat. The big guns of the Frosh attack were husky Wayiie Axelson and his highfscoring partner, Ed Skuzie. Ax was not only an excellent team man, but also he set a new individual mark of twentyfnine points in a single game, and a highfscoring record of 224 points in eleven games, smashing Rolly Lewis' 1939 record of 184 points in eleven games. Skuzie contributed an array of uncanny shots from all angles to take second place in the scoring race with 15 S points. Frosh Captain Paul Barham led his teammates ably, and his deceptive passing set up many scoring plays, while Dick Ashton added some long swishers and tight defensive work. With eight wins and four defeats, the Sophomores had the double distinction of taking second place and being the only team to defeat the Frosh. High scorers for the Sophomore Green were Barney Eklund and Bob Silva, with eightyfsix and seventy' seven points respectively. Ma1'v Wzillace's 111 points helped the Seniors cinch third place, while Stan Lewis in only eight games aided the cause with 111 points. Three wins and nine defeats was the reading on the Seniors' ledger. Outclassed, but not outffought, were Eldon Turnidge's last place Vinegars, with two victories in their twelve games. Art Carlson led his mates with eighty-four points, and big Bud Ramey rang up seventyfsix counters for the Blackshirts. With several class leaguers in line for promotion to the Varsity, and with new talent developing in the Independent League, next year's season promises to be every bit as successful as this year's fine showing.

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.

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.
