(Photo courtesy oftJie Legal Eagles) The University of Texas School of Law has the reputation of being one of the toughest in the nation, and its students look forward to any opportunity to release stress. The Law School intra- mural teams are an active part of cam- pus life, a way to relax and have fun while enduring the rigors of law school. Third-year law student Alan Gluth is a Teaching Quizmaster (TQ), a member of an organization that heads up teams of first-year law students and assists them in legal writing. He is also TQ for a co-ed football team and a basketball team. Although some intramural teams compete with UT undergraduates, the TQ division is in its own league at the Law School. Gluth indicated that co-ed football is generally the most popular sport, although some students play vol- leyball as well. Gluth considers his teams to be com- petitive despite the fact that they do not practice much. My basketball teams got together once or twice and played a few pick-up games at the Rec Center, he commented. Other teams, however, seem to take their recreation more seriously. The Legal Eagles football team, for example, practices two or three times a week and DEFEATING JTREH competes with University undergradu- ates. I ' ve heard the tradition of their team has been around since the forties, said finance senior Hugh Ramsey, whose intramural football team lost to the Eagles 13-7. Gluth explained that aside from being an important tradition, participation in intramural teams provides a way for first-year students to catch the Longhorn competitive spirit, since only about fifteen percent of law students attended the University of Texas as undergraduates. Those interested in watching any of the Law School teams compete should pick up an intramural schedule at the Rec Center. Games take place at the intramural fields. -Story by Peter Bourland Intramural Sports - 5
