P. Bagby of the academic department. There were over a hundred taking part in the tourney, and it was one of the most successful of all the sports. It took half of the fall term to decide the winner. The doubles championship was won by Moseley and Weddington, of the engineers. There were twenty-five fraternity teams entered, fifteen departmental, and thirteen independents. The popular intramural sport, handball, was again used by the department. Bradfute, an academ, defeated George Ray in a hard-fought match to win the University championship. There were over a hundred entries and the competition was strong from the very start. The doubles tourney was just as hard, and the winner was never certain. Stofer and Muckleroy of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity defeated Ray and Bradfute for the University championship. The golf tourney was won by Breedlove of the B. B. A. department. He was easily the best singles player. The doubles tourney was won by Downing and Breedlove. The matches were the most interesting ever to be held, and the winners proved themselves to be good players. Their scores indicated their strength. The rifle match was held at the same Xxmz, being won by Tom Hansen, with ninety-eight marks out of a possible hundred. The cross country meet was won by the engineers.

Caf Track Team Half Moon Basketball Departmental Track It was another case of too much Engineers, and the departmental meet was decided early in the competition. The Alecs were too strong in the field events for the rest of the departments, and as a result, won the meet in this department alone. The engineers placed a well balanced team on the field ; the dash men and distance men placed in nearly every event, and the ad- dition of these points gave the winners a good margin. The Academs, as usual, gave the engineers a great fight, but the lack of good men in the field events cost them the meet. The Pre-Laws and Pre-Meds entered fairly good teams, but neither could cope with the Taylor coached boys. ai The greatest of all intramural sports had another very successful year. There were twenty- six fraternities, six departments, and twenty-one independent teams taking part in the round- robin tournament. Never has there been such a successful round of play. The games were all hard-fought, there being a doubt as to who would win from the very first whistle. The teams were placed in different leagues, and as the winner of one league was decided, then this winner would play the winner of another league, and so on until there were only two teams left to play for the championship. After the champions of each department had been decided, the champion- ship of the University was played. The engineers won the departmental tournament; the caf- eteria the independent; and the Half Moon ' s won the fraternity championship. In a post- season game the fraternity champions defeated the cafeteria for the university championship. This was the most exciting and hardest fought race to be held by the intramural department, and the spirit and hard-fought play that marked every contest was tribute to the contestants ' rivalry. The Half Moon team had a number of stars in the lineup, in fact several of whom would have probably made letters in varsity basketball. The guarding of Leissner and Rundell, and the goal shooting of Aycock were the outstanding features of the team. The winners each re- ceived a gold medal for the good work they did, and it might well be remembered by the other teams that this same team will return intact next year. This fact should put the other teams to work in an effort to capture the cup. w LfD mi mi X ±. r o XIT 00 96 B- a r T 7 J] AK -io n §° oc x-o DX XXX A- e- x-x MO DD AX QD B- Ao S- llJ- X9 33 =X D= Xo Pa e 2S3
