INTRAMURALS INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL Touch football constituted a large part of the extensive intra¬ mural program offered in the Acad¬ emy this year. Competition ran high throughout the grid season as eleven nine-men teams battled it out through a fifty-five game schedule. Intramural director, Stan Wisniewski, and the Rev. Ed¬ ward Roof, C.PP.S., athletic direc¬ tor, supervised the league play. The end of the bitterly contested season found Diver’s Dodges and Remelspach’s Auburns pitted against each other for the cham¬ pionship. In the play-off, the pass¬ ing combination of Divers to Lam- kin proved too formidable for the Auburns. Divers threw twice to Lamkin for twelve quick points. Another touchdown pass to Hughes gave the Divermen a 20-0 victory. the championship, and a perfect season of ten wins. Minature gold footballs were awarded to the champs: Hughes, Fain, Gehring, Neilands, Rust, Lamkin, Nolan, Roy, and Captain Diver. Page seventy-one

TEAM Racking up a better record than the varsity’s, the Cub B-Team repeat¬ ed their last season’s performance of winning fifteen straight games. Coach Scharf’s scrappy reserves have not dropped a contest in the last thirty starts. This record has brought the B-Team, usually only a training field for the varsity material, into the foreground of St. Joe basketball. Puma-Cub rooters can be fairly certain that St. Joe will be well repre¬ sented on the hardwood in the future years, for the B-Team has enough height, drive, and scoring power to provide Coach Scharf with plenty of varsity ability. Boasting a good defense the team scored 499 points to their opponents’ 288. Don Mclnnis, Chuck McDermott, and Jack Bush led the “B Boys’ ” scoring. Senior John Thieme was elected honorary captain for the season. Other members of this undefeated team are Gene Hartlage, Steve Dulack, John Raster, Bob Doud, Bob Woodcock, Bill Kannapel, and Lee Hess.

INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL Intramural basketball, under the supervision of Mr. Stan Wisniewski, hit a new high this year due to the increase in enroll¬ ment. This program en¬ ables the less-able or in¬ eligible students to par¬ ticipate in athletics. Nearly as much spirit is shown in the intramural contests as in the varsity games. 1 1 1 fliA f A1 Cantieri’s Yanks outscored the unbeaten Packers, captained by Jerry Diver, in the final game of the I-M tourney, 32 J.

Captains are chosen by Coach Dick Scharf, and Mr. Stan Wisniewski from among the better varsity and intramural players. These captains then choose their teams and the tourney draws are made. The winning team is awarded by hav¬ ing the players’ names engraved on a trophy that is kept at school. This year’s tourney is just past the second round. Of the sixteen teams participating, only Eder, Diver, Mclnnis, and McDermott remain. Interest in the tourney was great this year; competition ran high and feeling strong. One of the Academy’s most coveted honors is for an athlete to have his name inscribed on the trophy of champions. Page seventy-two
