INT RAMURALS INTRAMURALS INTRAMURAL COMPETITION this year was unusually keen and caused considerable campus comment. Until the Final game no accurate predictions could be made as the results were not consistent. The hnal title holder was not determined until the last day of the tournament when the Hesperians defeated the favored Tau Sigs by a score of 22-ll to win the title. The lead was never securely owned by any team throughout the tournament. At Hrst the Tau Sigs seemed the outstanding possibility but fell before the onslaught of the strong E. B. C. team. With the E. B. C.'s in the lead it seemed that they would capture the title but they in turn were taken by the Hesperians who had not been conceded much of a chance up to that time. The intramurals were under the direction of Professor Spalding with the assistance of a board consisting of one member from each society. RESERVES UNDER THE TUTELAGE of student coach Ralph Bradner, the reserve basketball squad fur- nished keen competition for the varsity quint this year. Although they played only two games during the season the squad members appeared regularly for practice. Several were promoted to the varsity before the season closed. The reserve squad was composed chiefly of promising freshman and sophomore athletes and from all evidences many of them will be making strong bids for varsity berths next year. Games played included one with the College High but no Final decision was reached as the game ended in a tie, and there was no overtime period. The other game was with the strong Iamestown reserves. The Viking reserves had the same fate as the varsity and fell before the smooth working Iimmies by a large score. Other games were cancelled because of road conditions which made travel impossible.
