INTRAMURALS

As usual during the season immediately preceding the spring recess, Intramurals were a bit slow. Because of unfavorable weather conditions, the ski meet had to be abandoned, while ice-skating attracted only a few contestants.

The main event of this period was the interfraternity swimming meet held the latter part of March. The meet was a close one with the Psi U's gathering first place in the entire contest by the slim margin of one point. The Zetes placed second with a total score of is points. Third was Theta Chi with 10 points. A summary of the individual events reveals H. Bayer '38, Phi Delta Theta, winning the 50-yard freestyle; F. Stanley '37, Theta Chi, taking the 100-yard breaststroke; J. Schofield '39, Theta Chi, winning the 50-yard backstroke; and W. Harrison '39, Zeta Psi, leading the field in the 100-yard freestyle. The Psi U's held a slim lead in the relay, barely nosing out the Zetes. R. Graves of Psi U headed the divers. The representation this year was the largest it has been in many years, and showed a keen interest in the competition.

In interclass basketball, the final game has yet to be played with 1938 opposing 1940 for the championship. The foulshooting contest called forth a sizable number of entries, with M. Kantzler '38 of Pi Lambda Phi the ultimate winner.

The fraternity squash tournament is still under way, and the finals are soon to be played. At present the Kappa Sigs and the Psi U's in one bracket and the Dekes and the Zetes in the other are the teams heading the tournament. As for dormitory squash, North Mass. has won its way into the finals, and it is merely marking time waiting to play the winner of the South Mass.-Ripley encounter.

The Kappa Sigs are leading the fraternity handball elimination, having reached the finals already. The final game will be with the winner of the Phi Gam-Chi Phi match. In the consolation tournament, the Dekes are furthest advanced.

At a banquet held at the D. O. C. House recently, selection of the new assistant managers of Intramurals was announced. Ihe following sophomores were chosen: Robert T. Haslam Jr., New York City; Herbert E. Hirschland, Harrison, N. Y.; Richard E. Poehlman Jr., Manchester, N. H.; and Earle D. Stevenson 11, Chicago.

The Department has inaugurated a new policy of administration. In place of the old system of having three managers on an equal plane, there is now a Chairman of Managers elected by the incoming assistants. It is thought that this new plan will eliminate much of the former confusion and more effectively coordinate the managers with the Department and the Department with the director.
