Originated by the Iroquois In dians as a preparation for war, the rules presently used are sim ilar to those of soccer and ice hockey. The basic aim of the game is to score goals. Attackmen ad vance the small rubber ball to wards it by running or throwing. The defense can knock the ball out of offensive possession as long as they avoid the opponent’s head. Meanwhile, the attackman passes to maneuver the ball into a scoring position, staying out of the crease, a nine foot dia meter circle surrounding the six by four foot goal. The midfield is covered by players who act both offensively and defensively. Penalties are called for techni cal or personal fouls and the pun ishment from the game, leaving his team a man short as in hockey. Players are armed with a stick which supports a triangular net, used either in a downward or up ward sweep. Protective gear in cludes a face cage helmet and arm pads and gloves like those of ice hockey. Sporting this equipment Sun day as starters are Gruber, Kent Hubbard and Roger Livingston at attackmen. On defense will be Preston Juvenal, Fred LaGrasta, Mike Mohnkern and Win Whit tens. Chris Litras, Gary Smolen and Rod Speer will start at mid- field, with Phil Lesko protecting the A&M goal.

Due to errors such as double hits, over-powered spikes and pushing, the C2 Cocks put them selves out of contention. Al though they managed a first game victory, in the third game they tried too hard, got in each other’s way and just couldn’t get their gear together. The D2 Dogs at first seemed leery of their playing, overpower ing spikes and serves. Once he eased up, Gary Gooch managed to hit the Cock’s open spots aided by returns from the rest of the team, Bill Chancey, Andy Mc- Kemie, Hector Aldape, Bill Hel- $ wig and Phil Newton. In a game very much akin k the one just described, Ml fell to HI. Both teams seemed skilled, but made the same mistakes of overpowering spikes and serves, stepping on midcourt lines and misdirecting volleys. HI had some remarkably good sets, but failed to take propei advantage of them for spikes Ml had one good server, Car los Bonnot, who kept his cool until his last term. Unfortunate ly, he fell apart when he coil have done Ml the most good. Also in the intr amural spot light are the bowlers who roll out 200 or above everytime thej hit the alley. These are: Ll 1 !
