Intramurals Players enjoyed their season Enigma: a riddle, a basketball player, an unexplainable thing...wait, a basketball player? That's right, in fact there was a whole team of enigmas in the intramural basketball circuit. Strange and unexplainable things followed this team around all season. Sunnie Thompson scored a basket for the opposing team. It was after half-time and we had just switched baskets, Enigma player Ieanne Wallace said. Sunnie got the ball, forgot that we had changed baskets and went in for the lay-up. The Enigmas also had a Homecoming King, Ward Thomp- son, who was selected from a court that included jeff Smalley and Duane Cornforth. Ward was crowned king partly because he was the only one in the homecoming court who showed up at the homecoming game. Even though they never won a game, not even by forfeit, the En- igmas' spirit was not broken. We practiced once at the beginning ofthe season, Jeanne said. But after that we didn't care. We were playing to have a good time, not to winf, ThI'0W Elway. Passes, dribbles and teamwork are what make a great basketball team. Catherine Shamblin of Dribble was taken by surprise when Carmon Wright of Open Containers passed the ball. 18 Intramurals Paul McEntirv Lay--Up.
