The bowling tournament, which was held at Scott's bowling alleys, held more interest than usual. Eleven boys were present to break up the pins, but it was Robert Klotz who succeeded in hitting the cen- ter for strikes and spares the most times. Basketball proved to be the most popular sport of the entire intra- mural program. Sixty-four teams with a total of three hundred twenty- four players took part. The heavy- weights were divided into ten leagues of four teams each. Each team played three games in its league. The highest from each league en- tered the finals, which were in the form of a direct elimination contest. The Archers, a smooth - clicking squad, walked away with the heavy- weight championship. In the middleweight class the same system was used with fifteen teams divided into three leagues. The In- dians tomahawlced their way through this league with comparative ease. The lightweight division consisted of nine teams, which were divided in two leagues. The round-robin sys- tem was employed, and the Name- less carried away the honors. For spring sports Mr. Briner of- fered track, tennis, golf, and base- ball. There were many entrants in these activities as the spring weather made everyone want to get out-of- doors and enjoy himself. Mr. Briner introduced intramural sports when he First came to South Side in the fall of 1929. Wrestling-First Row: H. Ertel, K. Mil- ler, F. Knight, E. Grifiin, B. Miller, Bosserman.
