A T 'Q 55' 01......n... 4I'llllllllllllllllllll 'A' interaGrganization Basketball Th1s sport was the only one which the Dormitories or Fraternities fostered this year and to say the least it resulted in some exceptionally fine show1ngs. .Lomlng before the regular Basketball season it served to put prospective men in trim and to bring out new material. Two leagues were organized, one including the three Dormitories the F aculty and a Davis town team tcomposed of studentsi and the other comprising the eight Fraternities. The Dormitories got under way first and, under the supervision of Coach Driver, played some mighty fast and interesting games, well attended. West played North in the first game and decisively defeated them. The games from then on came thick and fast and in a few weeks the teams were left in about the same position as when they started excepting that the T own team and North Dorm had been eliminated from the running. West, South, and the F aculty had each won two and lost one game to another member of the trio so a triple tie sewed things in a knot until in the playoff the Faculty, in a hard fought game, downed South Dorm and then easily defeated West 41 to 18 for the championship. The regular Faculty team was composed of McCorkle and Abbot, forwards; Landram, center, and Hughes tCath and Maclise, guards. They made up a wonderfully efficient aggregation. At the close of the season All Star teams were picked as follows: First Team Second Team McDonald tSouthi ............ forward Hitch tWesti ...................... forward Abbot tFacultyi .................... center McCorkle tFacultyi .......... forward Liefrinck tSouthi .................. center Landram tFacultyi .............. center Maclise tFacultyi .................. guard Brennan tSouthy .................... guard Hughes tFacultyy .................. guard Dutt tWesU ............................

The lipperglassmen gamed off with a rush and on the third play of the game Red Prante, quarterback, rushed over the line for a touchdown.

In the next game the Seniors tackled the Fresh and Prante again shoved over a touchdown for his class which proved enough to win the game 6 to 0.
