LIFE 1983 Intramurals Above: At Brian Strachota puts up a shot. Bobby Oleisky goes for the block. Intramural sports had become quite an event. It was no longer a simple game of basketball or volleyball played by ragtag teams. In the past two year it had turned into a fairly big event at Park. Intramural basketball and volleyball had become a game with both complex name and uniforms, which just added to the general excitement generated by the games. The names had exceeded past names in both deep meaning and comedy. With such names as Equal Ethnics, Hooptroop, Bricklayers, Supreme Court, and the King and the Knights of the Roundball, it is no wonder that the games were so popular and were always the center of conversations on Tuesdays. “The names have a lot to do with inside jokes,” commented Lee Prohofsky, senior of the Knights. We call ourselves the Bricklayers because of the type of shots we take,” said Brett Duke, senior. The name Equal Ethnics came about because the team had three Jewish people and three Christians. The King and the Knights of the Roundball came about because “After last season as the Seven Dwarfs, we decided on the King and the Knights of the Roundball because of King Tony Taschner, and we had some really good ideas for jerseys,” remarked John Anderson, senior. “We were going to be the New York Slam Exchange, but it didn't go over well!” Others, like the Supreme Court, took their names from basketball memorabilia. But besides the names, plays, and uniforms, it all came down to one thing — having fun — and with the fun that they’ve been having, it'll be around a long time.
