BARRISTER FOOTBALL TEAM-Smnding.' Pete Bass, Ar- thur Foster, Marv Cherin, john Westberg, Al Buhler. Kneel- ing: Bill Edwards, jim Singer, Henry Simpson, Roland Machold. One chilly afternoon in October, the football machines of the Va. Law Review and the Va. Law Weekly again came to grips, as is the annual custom. Also, pursuant to tradition, members of the faculty served as the officials, this year the task being ably performed by Spies, Cowen and Rees. Displaying a devastating attack, the Law Review Corsairs surged over the hapless Weekly Warriors for one of the most impressive shows of football prowess in Mad Bowl history. After the necessary preliminaries of the game, both teams converged on a keg of beer and operating with a unison that belied their great rivalry, soon dispatched said keg. It's anyone's ball in true style of wide open intramural play. Under the direction of Athletic Chairmen Bill Edwards and John Merchant, the Law School participates actively in the intramural program of the University. Behind the coaching of Bill Edwards, the football team rolled to an impressive six win-three loss record, reaching the finals of the University playoffs before being eliminated. The team was blessed with an abundance of stalwart perform- ers', among whom were Marv Cherin, jim Singer, Pete Bass, and Edwards. Law Review offense sets itself for attack. Another game that aroused a great deal of interest and not a little consternation, was the inception of what the victors decided to title the Law School Football Champion- ship. The initial step was taken by Delta Theta Phi who brashly challenged star-athlete laden Phi Alpha Delta to the crucial match. Operating behind a pass conscious of- fense, the Delta Thets swarmed to what was passed off as an upset. Somewhere along the line Phi Delta Phi and Sigma Nu were forgotten as immediately after the crushing 18-6 win the Delta Thets claimed the Championship.

Ted Rogers again took the tennis crown, this being the third year in a row. Also entered in the tournament were John Phillips, Bobby Payne, and Waller Horsley, john Dew and Lauriston Castleman are entered in the squash tournament.

Fight for the rebound as Barristers take win in close game. Although the fraternities and independent teams claim all its competitors, the Law School is well represented in the boxing tournament, an intramural sport which is a highlight on the winter scene. Of those competing, jay Corson and Bob Grymes are the most outstanding, both of whom are defending champions. But the big sport on the winter scene is basketball, and the Law School always has one of the better teams in the competition, going to the finals often and recently winning a University Champ- ionship. This year the Barristers, under they direction of coach Ben Slavitt, is shaping up as a definite contender for the University title. Among those counted on by Slavitt are jim Harvell, John Merchant, Bob Goolrick, Tony Genovese and jim Cabler. Because of the response shown by the first year class, another team was organized for this year. The Attorneys, composed solely of first year men and coached by john Merchant, hopes to be the Law School's second chance at the University trophy. Showing well in the first few games are Roland Machold, Si Brewer, jim Singer and Lou DeLuca.
