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.

Chief problem: for the young

this position seems to be Paul

behind him, Campbell is reputed
