1953 WITTENBERGER Copy write by Co-publishers Marie Schulz Fred Hoffman C 5 i-t C3 erg E Here is your 1953 Wittenberger, presenting as complete a picture and record of your college, its spirit and its progress, as possible—only you may fill in what it has not recorded. It is a book of guidance for those returning, and a book of remem- brance for those leaving. MISS WITTENBERGER Miss Marcia Louise Hickman was chosen as Miss Wittenberger for 1952-53 in a final judging by A1 Capp, nationally known cartoonist of the famed comic strip, L’tl Abner. Originally six- teen girls had been selected by the editor, and from this group eleven were chosen by Pi Delta Epsilon, national journalism honorary, to be judged by Mr. Capp. Miss Wittenberger Candidates Marie Schulz Maralyn Spenny Julia Fraunfeltcr Mary Lou Rutz Edith Brown Jean Tussing Janet Walz Nancy Stavers Betty Lou Kind Elizabeth Wiegand Introduction.................. 1-5 Administration .... 6-14 Seniors.......................15-32 Academic......................33-66 Juniors and Sophomores . 67-94 Freshmen.....................95-110 Student Senate...............111-113 Athletics....................114-157 Publications.................158-165 Dramatics....................166-169 Dorms - Housemothers . . 170-171 New Buildings .... 172-173 Hamma .......................174-181 Sororities and Fraternities . 182-218 Advertising..................219-240 You arc now a senior and have watched Wittenberg grow for four years. We arc asking you for a statement of your observation of the progress and spirit of Wittenberg. These arc the chief sentences of a little note the editors of The Wittenberger sent me. When editors so command a senior, there is only one answer possible and that an affirmative one. Progress in these four years was almost inevitable. A great and solid foundation was here, built by Dr. Rees Edgar Tulloss through the twenty-nine years of his administration and by his predecessors- It was chiefly a matter of carrying forward on the impetus already established. , Most noticeable, of course, is the steady growth of the something we call the spirit of Wittenberg. It is hard to define. Surely it includes our growing sense of unity, of belonging together, of family. Our campus friendliness, our increasing concern for main- taining our spiritual heritage and values, our good pride in our good school, arc also a part of it. I feel blessed in each day that I spend at Wittenberg. Most of our students have the same sense of privilege. This is the flowering of the spirit. Like every other senior I am proud of the Wittenberg faculty. Year by year it has grown stronger until today we have a great faculty. These are men and women deeply and broadly trained, loving teaching and students, and with deep affection for all that it Wittenberg. This I have noticed in my four years and it has filled me with gratitude. Material growth there has been, of course. New buildings—the addition to Recitation Hall, the biology greenhouse. Learner Hall, and the new Woodlawn — with plans for more in the immediate future, especially the exciting Weaver Chapel and the new Library. These are the years when we became entirely free from indebted- ness, when the Christian Higher Education Year Appeal brought nearly half a million dollars into our treasury, when the Spring- field campaign was launched and ended with total pledges of $544,000. These were years of heavy financial problems resulting from the sudden drop in enrollments, but they were good years, none the less, because Church and community and alumni came to our rescue handsomely. Many other matters should lx- included—the wholesomcness of our athletic program and the improvement in all intercollegiate athletics; the new surge of alumni loyalty; the improvement in student government; the growing maturity in fraternity and sorority life; our wider service to our local community; our intense eagerness to live our Christian faith in all our daily campus life. Space is here only to mention them. God has been good in allowing me these four years at Witten- berg and permitting me to lx- a senior. Even more wonderful is the fact that I need not graduate. One cannot ask more than to be a perpetual senior in a college so beautiful as Wittenberg- John Masefield wrote a paragraph several years ago that sums up my feelings. I have used it often. It goes like this: “In these days of broken frontiers and collapsing values, when the dams are down and the floods making misery, when every future looks somewhat grim and every ancient foothold has be- come something of a quagmire, whenever a college stands, it stands and shines; wherever it exists, the free minds of men, urged on to full and fair enquiry, may still bring wisdom into human affairs. There arc few earthly things more beautiful than a college. Clarence C. Stouchton President, Wittenberg College Springfield, Ohio Administration Directors Deans Finance Public Relations Admissions Registration Business The spirit of tradition of the old, with the spirit of progress of the new, houses the administration of Wittenberg. This building has become the center of directive force on everything since it became the principal building of Wittenberg’s life in 1884. W. EMERSON RECK, Vice-President WENDELL C. NYSTROM, Dean of the College JOHN N. STAUFFER, Dean of Students Deans Wittenberg’s deans are an exemplifying factor of the spirit and progress of Wittenberg. They arc willing helpers in every function of administrative, faculty, and student life, and are progressive leaders in the building of a greater college. HULDA SALLEE, Dean of Women K. G.

Roger Marquart, graduate of 1922. died while serving Wittenberg on May 23, 1952. He become the Witten- berg College physician in September of 1950. Since his under-graduate days Dr. Marquart held a keen interest in the development of Wittenberg. From 1929 until 1934 he had been the college’s ath- letic physician. Besides giving his profes- sional skills. Dr. Marquart had turned his hobby — photography — to the college’s service. For several years he had made many pictures for the college, including motion pictures of athletic events. MRS. RENA COPPESS, Nurse MRS. ESTHER SHOCKEY, Nurse MRS. EDIT 11 THOMPSON, Receptionist Whether a headache or flu, chicken pox or just a physical, this building and its staff acts as an integral part of Wittenberg. It serves everyone, without exception, and keeps epidemics from holding up college schedules. There is no busier place at Wittenberg than its health center.

Stauffer, Dean Hulda Sallee, Dean STUDENT SENATE Student Senate in its first year has proven to be a progressive, indus- trious, and truly representative governing legislature for Wittenberg students. Student Senate began in the fall semester of 1951, when a committee was formed of Boost “W”, W.W.L., and the Student Council. This committee was to organize a system for a new student government. Work began in the spring of 1952, and by March the committee had decided upon the system of student government now existing. Final approval was given by the faculty, and a student vote completed the amendments and gave absolute approval. Since that time the Student Senate has operated continuously upon almost all campus issues. The standing committees are: Campus Public Relations, Social, Re- ligious Activities, Service, and Election. The legislative body is made up of group representatives from all social and unaffiliated organizations, the presidents of the Pan-Hellenic and Interfraternity Councils, the chairman of the standing committees, and the editor of the Torch. They hold their meetings twice during each full school month to carry out the functions necessary to keep student-faculty-public relations on an even keel. The Student Court is composed of seven justices; three seniors, two juniors, and two sophomores. They have the power to interpret the constitution, adjudicate questions, and to try cases in purely student affairs, and to impose suitable fines or disciplinary action upon the negligent student. The Student Senate would like to thank the two deans—Dean Sallee and Dean Stauffer—and our faculty advisor, Professor Braun, for their advice and help throughout the entire year.

It has been philosophically stated that the Year Book of a College portrays, in the main, the lighter, more buoyant phases of college life. However, a careful study of the recordings will provide an insight into the nature of the more serious aspects of that life. Certain it is that leisure-time activities are assuming an increasing importance in the curricula of colleges everywhere. Results of extensive investigations in numerous colleges reveal that participation in any wholesome extra-curricular endeavor, including athletics, is not in- compatible with high grades and scholarly achievements. As an integral part of Wittenberg’s modern Health and Physical Education program, athletics not only offer students wholesome leisure- time activity, but also provide them with excellent laboratories wherein the theory of most curricular study can be applied, further developed, and more readily evaluated. The spirit and overt behavior exhibited by Wittenberg students as they entered into, engaged in, and emerged from, athletic competition during the past year reflects the underlying philosophy and principles of a modern, progressive Physical Education. C. B. Juedes FOOTBALL The best season in over ten years! That was the mark set by the Tiger football team of 1952. Led by Co-Captains Don Labenda and Lynn Bristow, the Fighting Lutherans combined spirit, determination, and the will-to-win to roll up a record of five victories and four defeats. Master- minded by “Uncle Tom” Ness, the gridders probably hit their peak in the superb victories over Morris-Harvey and Oberlin. Yet the losses to Denison and Ohio Wesleyan were two of the finest games ever seen in the Witten- berg Stadium. Featuring the running and throwing of All-Conference Quarterback George Reash, the offensive team was a constant threat. Running from the straight “T” formation, the Cardinal and Cream unleashed such backs as All-Conference Don Henderson, the league ground gaining king, Bill Varble, Dave Wappner and Bristow. Of course, the line, headed by such stalwarts as Jack Grant, Roger Bishop, Milo Billman, anil Labenda, all of whom were All-Conference selectees, could always be counted on to open those all-important holes. Freshmen Guard John Adler contributed to many a game with his fine extra point kicking. Yet it is the defensive ball club that is counted on to stop any enemy threats and get the ball. With such games as the Oberlin and Ohio Wes- leyan tussles as proof, the men of Coach Bob McCormick turned out to be one of the best defensive units in school history. Credit for this goes to such men as Randy Shields, Hal Adams, Norm Ervin, and Gus Katschka in the front line and backed up by Ron Bechtel, Jerry Gillikin, and All- Conference Don Wood. At the annual banquet held in Myers Dining Hall, Don Henderson and Jack Grant were named Co-Capts. by their team mates to head the Tiger grid fortunes for 1953. At the same time Don Labenda was named as Most Valuable for the past season. Later both Labenda and Wood were named to the highest honor in Ohio collegiate football, that of first string berths on the All Ohio team. Both men were named on the defensive platoon. Labenda, the all-everything tackle, was selected by the Cleveland Browns as their 24th draft. WITTENBERG 27—MORRIS HARVEY 13 In their opening game the Tigers rolled over the champions of the West Va. Con- ference in one of their most convincing wins of the year. Highlighted by Bill Varble's 94-yard touchdown run, the game was decided when John Adler recovered a Morris Harvey fumble in their end zone.

With the loss of four veterans from last year, Coach Cliff Juedes was confronted with the task of rebuilding. Using as a nucleus Seniors Roger Bishop and Chuck Henry, Juniors Don Henderson and Bill Gocttman, Sophomores Ronnie Moore, Bill McKaig, and Don Scott, and then adding freshman sensation Jack Hawken, Coach Juedes produced a hustling, fast-breaking, young and spirited squad. What it lacked in height, it more than made up in outstanding team-work and ability to out-rebound taller opponents. With this team the Lutherans faced a schedule of 21 games, 14 of which were on the road. The Juedcs-coached team opened with victories over Transylvania and conference oppo- nent Oberlin. The following week the Lutherans took to the road for two conference games. The Wittenbergers won the first game over Hiram in an overtime only to go down the follow- ing night to their first defeat of the season at Mt. Union. The Lutherans rebounded to out- class their next two opponents, Kenyon anti Wilmington. Thus, with a record of 5 wins and 1 defeat, the Fighting Lutherans were ready for an all-important eastern trip during the Christ- mas holidays. Their first game on New Year’s Day was against the Number 1 team in the nation—Seton Hall. The Wittenbergers lived up to their title of “Fighting Lutherans” as they battled on even terms with the “Skyscrapers” throughout the first half. The score was 35-32 at halftime. However, in the second half the Lutherans couldn't cope with 6T1” All-American Center Wally Dukes. Seton Hall maintained its undefeated record by winning 75-60 but was hard-pressed the entire game. This game made the Lutherans a team to be feared and they proved it the next night by eking out a last second victory, 67-64, over a strong Wagner College team. Playing their third game in as many nights and lacking their usual speed and fight, they went down to defeat 80-62 to a much taller Adelphi quintet. The Lutherans brought their Eastern trip to a successful close by breaking even in their four contests with tremendous team victory over Rider College. The Wittenbergers trailed 65-49 as the final frame got under way but a sensational fourth period rally produced a phenomenal 41 points and the Lutherans over- ran Rider 90-77. The Juedes-coached quintet returned to Springfield a seasoned outfit eager to play the remaining eleven games, nine of them against conference opponents. The first game was the always-tough Battling Bishops of Ohio Wesleyan. The Lutherans piayed one of their most outstanding games of the season, copping an overtime thriller 96-92. The Wittenbergers had all five starters in double figures with Captain Bill Goettman setting a new Wittenberg scoring record of 38 points. The previous record of 33 points was held by the late Earl Fisher since 1943. The Lutherans disposed of their next conference foe, Denison, to the tune of 74-72. However, it proved a costly victory as Don Scott suffered a lacerated head, Bill McKaig a pulled leg muscle, and Bill Goettman a severe leg injury which sidelined him the remainder of the season. The Lutherans then faced a rugged Mid-American Conference Kent State team and came out on the long end of the score 81-76. With a 10-3 record the Lutherans appeared headed for a conference title but hopes were shattered by a fourth defeat, this one at the hands of Muskingum. This was an indication of things to come as Wittenberg, after defeating Wilming- ton for the second time, lost its remaining six games to conference foes. The Lutherans suffered consecutive defeats to Ohio Conference Champions Akron 91-75, Denison 78-49, Marietta 92- 70, Heidelberg 64-57, Wesleyan 67-58 and then closed the season with a loss to Capital 82-66. This gave the Lutherans an 11-10 season record and a 5-8 conference record. As this year’s squad loses only two seniors, another strong team will represent the college in 1953-54.

Lack of adequate depth attributed to the season record of 0-9, but we look to next year with six returning lettermen and two nu- meral winners. Scores showed an improvement over the season, but it was not enough to bring Wittenberg into the win column. Bill Emery led the scoring with 107 points, followed by Bob Bowen’s 75 and Bob Hilty’s 35. Special recommendation goes to Bowen, a four year veteran, and the lone senior on the squad. Letters were awarded to Bowen, Emery, and Hilty, while freshmen John Richards and Bob Kohut received numeral awards.

Wittenberg did not reach its stride until the middle of the season; by that time three games had been lost, and three rained out. The team was high-spirited enough during the end of the season; however no combination of players seemed to bring good results. They were weak on the mound, and scoring for both the Tigers and their op- ponents ran wild throughout the season. Even with all this trouble, Coach Maurer and his stal- warts captured a better than 500 record for the season, and won five of the last six games.

In addition to this growing division of teacher training, the department pro- motes physical education through a varied program of service courses and through active intramural, intermural, and recreational programs. ? Rho Chapter of Phi Delta Pi, national professional physical education fraternity for women, has been on campus since 1950. This year the group of physical education majors and minors scheduled regular meet- ings planned to aid its members professionally. The chapter joined with the Women’s Service committee of the Student Senate to plan the lead the Alma Mater Pageant of 1953.

Plans for a WAA cabin neared reality when the group was given access to the building located on the northeast corner of the football stadium. WAA executive councils, meeting monthly, conducted all intramural tournaments and formulated intra- mural policies. Women’s club teams participate intrscholastically in hockey, basketball, and rhythmic swimming. Hockey and basketball clubs, coached by Mrs. Doofie” Dillahunt, scheduled games with the Uni- versity of Dayton, Wesleyan, Antioch, Western, Miami, and Cincinnati.

As the years passed the enrollment of women increased, and with this increase grew an increasingly fervent spirit. The young ladies felt equally as competent as the men about campus, and furthermore, they wanted an opportunity to prove that they had capabilities also. At the same time several faculty mem- bers were cognizant of the need for these college women to be able to work together in a cooperative and intelligent way. It was Dr. Charles G. Shatzer, now dean emeritis of the college, who originated the idea of pre- senting the women with a problem project in the form of a May Day Pagent. This plan was realized in the years of 1918 and 1919. In both years the women of the college elected one of their fellow students, on the basis of popularity and participation in campus affairs, to be crowned May Queen. In 1920 Wittenberg held its Diamond Jubilee celebration and the faculty wanted to commemorate the occasion in a spectacular style. A faculty committee then began planning what was to be the first Alma Mater Day celebration ever held. It was presented in the hollow between Myers Hall and Zim- merman Library with the women, who had so successfully carried out the May Day Pagent as the participants. For the past several years, it has been under the direction of WWL, but this year it will be under the co-direction of WWL service committee, and Phi Delta Pi, the Physical Education honorary. Standing in the center and highest point of campus, Myers Hall, Wittenberg’s “Old Main,” begun in 1846, for many years was the whole college. Then it contained classrooms, laboratories, and dormitory for men. Its illuminated cupola at night makes it the focal center of campus. Now housing 140 men students, it contains the busy Student Union, the College Bookstore, and offices for student publications. 5 v . JO® V - ® _ e :4o ¥t°: 95 m C ,ast issue “' � •” 3£ 0 y- %0 W.

Composed of fac- ulty members and administrative officers, the committee is most largely interested in getting students started right in their publications. If the students kill the en- gine, the starter is there to make the pur rings purr. All members of the committee arc available in advis- ing editors and stall members of annuals, newspapers, magazines, booklets. And so have they been helpful. Annually the committee listens to such students as apply for head positions on publications. Anyone may apply; the committee decided who should assume the responsibility of editing and publishing. Work of individual students on publications is re- viewed periodically, so that the committee may be in a position to recommend advancements.

The TORCH is an independent student newspaper, and so published continuously since 1914 as the official campus news weekly. It is pub- lished every Thursday except during examination week and vacation periods and is edited and financed by the students. The TORCH is given over to general news regarding the life of the institution and to the expression of the student attitude with reference to college affairs. Th TORCH is the first college newspaper in America to Ik published entirely by ofTset lithography, a process which has enabled the stalls to experiment with new journalistic methods in college publishing. The publication is a member of the Associated Collegiate Press, the Ohio College Newspaper Association, and the Intercollegiate Press. With offices located in rooms 2-4 Myers Hall, the paper completed its 39th year of publication with the largest staff in its history. Innovations for the year included a special Election issue for November, the Home- coming Issue, the New Students Issue, and special editions for Greek Week and Founders Day. The TORCH has consistently received awards for excellence in jour- nalism from the Associated Collegiate Press.

Ever since its founding in 1845 Wittenberg has maintained its department of theology. Through long decades this department was known as Wittenberg Theological Seminary. Since 1906, how- ever, it has been called Hamma Divinity School in recogniiton of its leading bene- factors, Dr. and Mrs. M. W. Hamma. Thirty years ago I came from graduate study and a pastorate in Chicago to teach in my alma mater. All the members of the faculty into which I was invited had been my beloved teachers. They drew me into an atmosphere of Christian fellowship and confidence for which I shall never cease to be grateful. Although all of them, with one exception, have gone to glory and others have taken their places, the atmosphere of mutual respect and devotion which they engendered continues to bless the school. When I came first as a student Hamma had only one building, Keller Hall, which provided both classroom and dormitory. I witnessed the construction of Hamma Hall with its attractive chapel in 1915. Today we have in addition the new Learner Hall, equipped with deanery, dormitory, lounge, refectory, and visual aids rooms. Accredited by the American Association of Theological Schools, Hamma main- tains high academic standards. Not a few of her recent graduates have gone into graduate study at various universities leading ot the doctorate. Increasing recognition at home and abroad has come to members of the faculty for their outstanding con- tributions as authors, editors, lecturers, preachers, and churchmen. Progress at Hamma in recent years has included expansion of her enrollment from an average of twenty-five to thirty students to more than a hundred; the introduction of a clinical training program; organization of the Hamma Choir and of Hamma Wives; extension of intramural athletics; expansion of service to the churches through pulpit supply; various benevolent projects, such as aiding theological students abroad and contributing to inner and foreign mission work; and the establishment of a School of Theology for Laymen, one of the first projects of its character in America, involving last semester three sections, one in Springfield, and two in extension, at Mansfield and Toledo, with a total enrollment of one hundred and fifteen laymen. The spirit at Hamma is humble and wholesome. Students manifest the genuine- ness of their Christian faith through voluntary participation in such interests as daily chapel services, weekly evening devotions, preachiog missions, and Foreign Mission Fellowship, clinical service, and the supplying of pulpits. For the wholesome spirit, growth, and influence of Hamma Divinity School we give hearty thanks to our God, who had blessed her so richly through the years. May He continue to enrich her life and service! 7VW COLLEGE jCIBRARY The view of the chapel-library from the east, along a mall to be con- structed from Woodlawn Avenue 100 yards away, will emphasize the library which will furnish space for 200,000 volumes, provide modern, well-lighted and well-ventilated reading rooms, and include niches dedicated to the mem- ories of great scholars and great teachers. The library is still unnamed. About $350,000 of the money needed for the building has come from the Christian Higher Education Year Appeal conducted by the United Lutheran Church in 1950. The remaining $250,000 is still to be raised. Design, materials, and unusual mass effects will add to the beauty of the chapel library, which will be constructed of light rose-colored brick, trimmed with limestone. The room will be of slate green flat shingle tile, complimen- tary to the red in the brickwork. Adding to the beauty of the building will be an enclosed garden court lying between the library wings which will run out from the building on the east. WEAVER MEMORIAL CHAPEL Different perhaps from any other college structure in the world, a magnificent building will rise on Wittenberg’s campus during the next two years, a monu- ment for all time to men and women who have expressed abiding faith in the values of Christian education. It will be a chapel-library, a happy combi- nation made feasible by the unusual contours of Wittenberg’s beautiful fifty- five acre campus. The view from the west, approximately that shown above, will empha- size the chapel, an edifice which will enable 1200 students and teachers to worship daily in an atmosphere completely churchly. The main entrance will be through a free-standing lighted tower which will rise 150 feet above the campus, a symbol of faith, hope, and Christian fellowship to all. Wittenberg’s house of worship will be known as the Weaver Memorial Chapel in honor of the late Mr. and Mrs. Elgar Weaver, whose benefactions gave the college its astronomical observatory twenty-five years ago and more recently $650,000 of the $1,250,000 needed to erect the chapel-library. Jh Memoriam Dr. Otto H. Bostrom, beloved professor of ecumenical theology and Bible of Hamma Divinity school, died unex- pectedly in his home June 10, 1952. Dr. Bostrom was born in Torekov, Sweden in 1889, and came to this country when he was sixteen. He received his Ph.D. at Yale University, and D.D. at Augus- tana Theological Seminary. His special interest was music, and it was for this interest that many of us re- member him. While at Hamma he di- rected the Hamma choir, which he himself founded almost as soon as he arrived. He was also choir director at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran Church. He was appointed a member of the public relations division of the national Lutheran Council in 1944 and served until 1947. In 1945 and 1946 he was di- rector of the Lutheran Service Center in Paris, France. In 1948, he went to Hol- land as a representative of “The Lu- theran” to the Amsterdam Assembly. During these and other trips, Dr. Bos- trom traveled extensively throughout northern Europe. Hamma Divinity School Faculty Dr. W. D. Allbeck Dr. A. J.Traver Dr. E. E. Flack, Dean Dr. T. A.

Covering an eleven day period, the purpose of the event, as out- lined by Interfraternity Council, sponsor of the event was to “orient pledges and actives to a concept of a Greek world larger in scope through association with other fra- ternity men; to introduce the com- munity to some purposes of Greek life; to bring about socially a better association between fraternities and faculty.” To achieve this three fold pur- pose open houses were held at all fraternities; one day was set aside as “community service day ; ex- change dinners were given, and finally, a banquet honoring all new actives took place. Chairman for the week was Dick Neal, assisted by IFC Presi- dent Jack Grant, Vice President Bill Lesher, and Stan Traub, Dick Langdon, and Faculty Advisor Dr. William T. Coyle. The week was acclaimed a com- plete success and will undoubtedly become an annual event in the lives of Wittenberg fraternity men in the years to come.

Newest innovation to the team sports was the cross country race. This addition was made with an eye to- ward the development of a squad capable of competing on the intercollegiate level and to begin conditioning for basketball aspirants. Runners trained for three weeks before the race and some unexpected fine talent was noted. Pi Kappa Alpha won the first three places to easily win over the Dorm League and Phi Gams who garnered second and third, respectively. Alpha Tau Omega captured the football trophy as they defeated the Pi Kaps in the “A” vs. “B Leagues playoff. Both teams were undefeated for the regular season and the victors managed to score only one in the championship game to win 7-0. Hamma squeezed past the Phi Gams in the handball contest as they finished with a 24 wins and 2 loss record while the challengers recorded a 22 and 4 mark. Dorm League finished third with 15 wins and SMosscs. The Badminton cup remains in the possession of the Phi Gams as they copped the trophy for the second con- secutive year. Their arch rivals for the award, the Delta Sigs, came in a close second and the Dorm League, third. Alpha Tau Omega and the Delta Sigs ended the “A league bowling bout in a tie while the Phi Psis proved to be an easy winner for the “B” League crown. Dan Winters of the ATO’s copped individual high honors for the year with a fine 158 average for 27 games. Ed McGinnis, Dorm League, was second with a 57 average and Ron Schott and Bill Leffel tied for third with 156. Results of the “roll off'' for the “A” league honors had not been completed at press time. Tennis was won by the ATO’s early in the year and the Lambda Chis were second. Rain and cold weather hampered maintaining a schedule, however. “A” League basketball was also won by the ATO’s as they ended the season with a 9-0 record. The Lambda Chis were second and the Phi Gams third. In the “B’’ league it was the Lambda Chis who copped the trophy. The All-Intramural squad, picked by the opposing teams, proved to be a tough match indeed for all comers as they defeated the Junior Varsity by a 78-57 margin. Competition is still underway in baseball, swimming, volleyball, golf and track.
