BASKETBALL
March 1919

Intramural basketball came to a close early in March, with the Kappa Kappa Kappa team winner of the interfraternity series and the senior quartet undefeated champion of the college. Although no intercollegiate contests were, attempted this year, the interfraternity and interclass games successfully accomplished their object and maintained an interest in the sport fully equal to that manifested in the varsity fives of past years.

Phi Sigma Kappa, Delta Tau Delta, Beta Theta Pi, and Kappa Kappa Kappa were the leaders of the four fraternity leagues at the close of the first round. Beta Theta Pi defeated Delta Tau Delta and Kappa Kappa Kappa won from Phi Sigma Kappa in the semi-finals, and the two winners met for the championship February 28. Kappa Kappa Kappa finally carried off the honors in the deciding battle, winning a hard-fought contest by a 9-8 score.

In the preliminaries to the interclass final, the sophomores took two successive games from the freshmen, and the seniors won the single contest played with the junior five. The 1919 team proved too strong for the first-year men in the closing game of the season March 4, and the college championship went to the seniors with a 22-16 win.
