Intramural Atheletics
The blight that attacked every branch of athletics last year likewise had its effect
on the Intramural athletics at the university. Until last year this department was
one of the most popular in school as it gave a great number of students an opportunity
to get out in the open for participation in the various sports, which they would
not have otherwise done.
Leagues of clubs, colleges and fraternities had been formed and full schedules
for each had been drawn up. Football Coach John W. Wilce was director of Intramurals
and a student mangement was organized.
Last year very little was done in the way of Intramurals on account of the uncertanity
of things and the disorganization which seemed to be everywhere. Early in
the outdoor season. Coach Wilce was relieved of his duties as the director of
Intramurals, to allow him to devote his time to studies. Karl T. Finn was appointed
to take charge of what activities existed.
A meeting was called and an inter-fraternity league organized to perpetuate the
name of the department. Three leagues were formed and the winning teams of each
league got together for an elimination series to determine the champion of the
school.
Such activities, though small, aided materially in keeping the name of Intramurals
fresh in the minds of the student body, and it is hoped, and it will probably
be so, that after things come to a more certain basis the department of University
Intramural athletics will again be the big feature of our college life.
