Intramurals

During the past fall season 1050 different men in the College participated in intramural games, a remarkable record for any department catering to undergraduate needs. Four sports comprised the fall schedule: touch football, soccer, tennis, and individual football skills. Four hundred and seventy-three men in the fraternity leagues and 405 men on dormitory teams competed in the touch football games. The remainder of the men were fairly well distributed between the other three fields of athletics.

The season saw some of the finest touch football games in the history of the Department. The Phi Gamma Delta team came through to annex the College championship, beating the Russell Sage dormitory team in the final playoff by a score of 12-6.

In the fraternity leagues, Theta Chi, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Chi, Alpha Delta Phi, Delta Tau Delta, and Alpha Sigma Phi won their respective leagues championships.

In the dormitory leagues, Russell Sage won the final game of the playoff from New Hampshire by a 24-12 score.

The grand old seniors won the inter-class touch football competition. The first year Tuck School team took the Graduate School League by defeating Thayer School, the white-robed Medics, and the second year Tuck men.

In the fraternity tennis tournament, the Delta Tau Delta team went through the entire field without the loss of a set, winning from the Dekes in the final round. In the annual football skills contest, Bill Dwyer '37 of Merrimacport, Mass., came in first in a field of 37. O. O. Linden '39 of Franklin, N. H., and John Donovan of Lawrence, Mass., finished second and third respectively.

And now, as the snow begins to fly and the ice covers Occum Pond, intramural thoughts are diverted into channels of basketball, hockey, volley ball, ping Pong, swimming, and squash. Under the tutelage of Tommy Dent, squash is being expanded and organized on a new league basis.
