Dernocratically planned and efliciently organized, the Council is comprised of representatives from each fraternity and the non-fraternity group. It is the responsibility of this council to organize schedules, rulings, and procedures of athletic games between the groups. The aims, to promote friendly rivalry and enhance the spirit of sportsmanship, are efficiently attained. The organization originated in 1935. Each year it awards a plaque to the group with the highest score in each sport. At the end of the season, the group having the highest total points receives a trophy. It must be won for three years in order to be kept permanently. Lettermen in the major sports and outstanding athletics in the minor sports field are eligible for membership in the Men's Varsity Club. Now in its seventh year the group was first formed to foster closer relationships between the ath- letes and to maintain high standards of sportsmanship. Each fall the Varsity Clubsponsors the Football Hop, the outstanding first semester dance. This year's dance, featuring Jimmy Lunceford, topped them all. In recognition of their prowess in the sport's field, the senior members of the Varsity Club receive jackets with a big appropriate C over the left pocket. , INTHAMUHAL EIJUNEIL INTRAMURAL COUNCIL First Row, left to right: Coul- ter, Odess, Cepuch, Guyer, Horvath, Geer, Scinto.

WI1lVIEN'S VARSITY ULIB Aiding in the organization and participation in women's sports at the University, the Women's Athletic Council ably supplements the work of the physical education instructors by providing for uextra curricular .w,omen's athletics. The group is composed of women students' -elected for their inter- est and skill in SP01'ts. 15' The success of the intra-mural sports program for women, initiated last year, is attributable to interest which the mem- bers of the council have taken in organizing and promotnlg the intra-house activities. l Social events are included in the council's list of activities, and the Barn Dance and Came Party this year are success- ful examples of the monthly socials the group has sponsored. The council is closely co-ordinated with the W'omen's Val'- sity Club, which elects three members of the council HH- nually. ' Closely co-ordinated with the WOl11CU,S Athletic Council, the Women's Varsity Club is an active organization COQI' posed of girls who have demonstrated their superior abil1tY in advanced sports and who have earned their letters in at least two sports. The Club compensates for the discontinuation of W0Il1eH,5 varsity teams by planning a series of -playdays between C0'Cd teams of the University and those of other schools. The Varsity Club is also responsible for the intramural SPONS for women. It offers awards to women who qualify ill ad' Vanced Sports and to outstanding participants in the intra- mural activities. 16 7 w . mill' lu I, gi' 4 f. agilllglwuyi' H1119 Iypr lfllfgii 11 C wil in Dunfif my ni athllligkl lilenlilih gi file I1 The of? to Zilla' bointf viii orlff to 'off tht an lien?

Coach Christian's charges started the 1940 season in spec- tacular fashion. Badly handicapped by injuries and inex- perienced reserves, the ul-luskiesn toppled a favored Coast Guard eleven, then went on to beat Mass. State, Wesleyan, and the University of Maine. This brilliant winning streak was broken by an underdog, the oft-beaten Buffalo outfit which nosed them out by one point. Then Rutgers, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire in rapid order slammed Connec- tieuts' hopes into next season. From the opening whistle of the Coast 'Guard game to the final one of the New Hampshire game, with the exception of two quarters of the Mass. State game, the Huskies were forced to put forth their best efforts Without a letup. The line was over-shadowed by one of the finest backfields Of recent years, but played steady ball with several flashes Of superb teamwork. In the Maine game, with Connecticut leading 13 to 6, and but seconds to play, the line led by C0- captain Papanos, reared up and held Maine for four playS within the five yard line, taking the ball on downs as the game ended. At the Dadgs day game with Wesleyan, big uMoe Payne plowed in on the first running play of the game, and scattered the interference like chaff. aPot,' MQ111' threw Capadaqua for a two yard loss, and Wesleyan was through before they got started. They couldnit go through, over, or around the line.
