That ia one department on the campus that ia an aid to the students, both old and new*,in body and in mind. And the real thing behind the department is that it can easily be classed as an outside activity. All of you must admit that you have ad least one sport which you to|Rd4By'like and teat sport can be found in the lineup on intra- Mfcal| sports All thess sports, basketball, softball, football, swim- miag, watervolo, handball. *;>eed ball, volleyball, tennis, track, and nuarerous others are outlined and planned to help -you develop in body, mind, and ^character. The thought that you must keep ahead of all the others is the fact that your purpose for* earning To A. 4 M. is to pursue your course of study, above all. make your studios your number one interest! But, you must have relaxation and outside activities to make your work completes \ The friends that you make at College are the ones that will help you when you fet out i n that misty old world. And there isnt a better place on the campus to make friends than by participation in iatnUNUtal- sports. For instance, the Director of Intramural Ath letics. Mr W L. Penberthy, (Mr Penny,' to you) is one of the finest fi lends to be made here at school and all of ydu freshmen should acquaint yourarlves with him. And Mr. Penny's stuff of workers, boti in the office sad in your individual companies, are some of the finest fellows that you will find. They want to,go out of their way to make friends with yeu, so why not help themf^H Of course, you win run up against some pretty stiff competition here at A. 8 M , but what ia a sport without ompvtitio*? Just any of you ask the fallows in B t '< ■ A Field Artillery, winners of last year's intramural flags, in both the upperclassmen and freshman divis ions, if they had any competition. It waq a hot race, all the way througp'in both divisions! And be fore I go further, let be remind you to take notice of those intra mural flags that will fly in frqnt of Battery A at all reviewmjt|is year. These flags are your company honors for compiling that ru>« points in the entire program of sports. But they do not constitute all the honors. For each sport won as a school championship, the vic torious team receives medals, bronte for thefresh—s n and silver for the upperclassmen, snd they are somethin* to work for, toot We have some af the finest equipment Kyke Field has one of the country^ipiat football grid irons, a classy baseball diamond, and a mighty fine basketball court For iatnunural purposes we have four touch football fields, four 'pt-edball fields, eight tennis courts, the best indoor swimming pool in the South, five handbell courts, two of which are new thia year, one ef the country’s dassiest tracks and over fifteen softball diamonds.

Todd and Rogers are seniors and each have won two bt ters. Price ia a junior letterman and a triple-thranter. Thomason is a sophomore who would play first string on any team in the country.

He is an ex ceptionally good defensive man The reserve strength in the rear is good. Marion Pugh. Henry DHt- man, Henry Force, Boh Hall, John Kimbrough, Odell Harman and BUI l Conataer are the beat of the reserve becks. All aas sophomores except Dittman who is a senior letterman, but they all have bta of football experience. Norton smiles when be looks at that crew.
