Horseshoes Start Intramural Sports By KiOY BI.ANTON The spring session, of Injtrarptir- al sports starts Wejdnesd&y with handball followed by horseshoes on Monday),: February 16.. All ef forts ^avej been made by-, the In tramural Dgpt. to put a little more spice in the horseshoe gprrte. Eigh teen new courts are beipg biillt across Ithe street north of Deware Fieldhouse. j These Couiftft will be regulation ctay pitching pifs which will eliminate much of thfe sliding and rolling pf the hiorseshqes when pitched in the old dirt pit*. Mjbre skill and a better pitching arm will be needed to “ring one” in]the clay pits. Fifteen yards of clay is be ing hauled in to make therp courts. Each court will have two six foot square pitchinjg boxes with a post in the benter eighteen inches above the ground. The ppsts will be forty, feet apart to confirm with regulations. Each organization has fwo 4cta pf horseshoes to practice with, so get out and loosen ithe ole pitching arm ’cause the competition is go ing to be a little sltiffer this year. —3 i I T ■ U W i irtr YLE FIELD By PAUL MARTIN ^E?EltTr a Ite Sp r,n ?

Chief problem: for the young mentor is to find and develop a man-under to replace the redoubt able Bobby Layne. Best bet for this position seems to be Paul Campbell, a 170-pound junior from Brccketiridge whose talent as a ball-handler has already b2en pro ven. With two years of experience behind him, Campbell is reputed by some to be better than Layne at manipulating the ball ahd^more expert at faking. Next in line for the post is Bob by Coy Lee, who learned his quar terbacking with the war-time Sec ond Air Force team, and Bill Allen who piloted last year’s ill-fated freshman aggregation. After Jim Canady, starting half- 1 back announced he was / Quitting football, the Steers were left short, in this position. Bubba Shands and dtandall Clay are the only remain ing candidates.
