INTRAMURAL HIGHLIGHTS

Extra time for extramurals
The Intramural Office offers
three basic levels of sports compe
tition of which Extramurals, or as
they are most commonly known,
Sport Clubs, are the mostly highly
skilled and highly competitive. Ex
tramural sport clubs are those
clubs on campus which work out
and compete on a regular basis
against other institutional clubs
across the state. Texas A&M has
organized clubs in the following 23
sports: Archery, Bowling, Cricket,
Fencing, Gymnastics, Handball,
Judo, LaCrosse, Horse Polo, Vol
leyball, Rugby, Racketball, Skeet
& Trap, Soccer, Water Polo,
Weightlifting, Bike Racing, Wres
tling, Rodeo, Tae Kwon Do, Ori
enteering, Field Hockey, and Sail
ing. The majority of these clubs
have both a women’s and men’s
team.
Every fall these clubs recruit and
train new members. If one looks,
he’ll notice flyers posted all over
campus. Just as there are different
levels of competition in intramural
sports, so are there also different
levels of organization among sports
clubs. Some work out once a WKek
and play once a month, others
work out twice a day and even
tually compete in the NCAA Na
tional Championships.
So, if intramurals doesn’t cover
that competition or skill level
you’re looking for or if you’re just
interested in getting involved in
one of these activities, check into
extramural sports. For information
as to who to contact or how to get
involved, come by and see the
friendly staff at the Intramural Of
fice in DeWare Fieldhouse. Also,
keep watching the McDonald’s ad
for Extramural articles and game
schedules and results.

Team managers may find some
new opportunities among familiar
patterns.
Intramural sports will offer com
petitive tournaments in the follow
ing team sports: Basketball, Bowl
ing, Flag Football, Flickerball,
Soccer, Softball, Volleyball, and
Water Polo. Each sport will be
divided into the following divi
sions: Coips, Fish, Men’s Dorm,
Women’s Dorm, Men’s Inde
pendent, Women’s Independent,
and Co-Rec.
One of the two major changes
this year is that entries in team
sports will be taken in two com
petition options; AB or BC, with
the exception of Volleyball, which
year is that all teams will qualify
for the playoffs in team sports.
The playoffs will be on a single
elimination basis. The class at
which each team will compete in
the playoffs will be determined by
the won/loss record in round robin
league play in the following man
ner: all teams entered in AB with
winning records shall advance to
the A playoffs; all ttams entered
will offer the additional competi
tion option, Jungleball. Leagues
will be formed according to the
division (i.e. Corps, Men’s Dorm,
Women’s Independent, etc.) and
competition option AB or BC. All
league play will be round robin.
The second major change this
in AB with losing records shall
advance to the B playoffs; all teams
entered in BC with winning re
cords shall advance to the B play
offs; and all teams entered in BC
with losing records shall advance to
the C playoffs. Any team may peti
tion the Assistant Director in
charge of that sport to go into a
higher class in the playoffs.
Divisional Champions shall ad
vance to All-University Playoffs in'
their respective classes with All-
University Champions in each
class to receive Intramural T-shirt
awards.

sports as: tennis singles, golf sin
gles, handball singles, home run
hitting, badminton, and more.

to wait for cancellations or unclaimed courts.
The Intramural Office would like
to extend a hearty welcome to the
new and returning Aggies. All
TAMU students, faculty, and staff
are invited to participate in the
fastest growing intramural pro
gram in the nation. We feel the
rapid growth is because of our at
tempts to provide appealing and
satisfying programs for almost
every individual. It is important to
us to make every intramural ex
perience a good experience
through quality programming.
The Intramural Staff is dedicated
to serving mainly the students of
Texas A&M through organized
sports tournaments, as well as free
play recreation opportunities. We
feel that winning should not be
come more important than the joy
of participating in a chosen sport.
The Intramural Staff includes:
John Angel, Assistant Director
Pat Keller, Assistant Director
James Welford,
Assistant Director
Susan Pockrus, Secretary
Esse Bibeau, Secretary
Janice Strong, Secretary
Dennis Corrington, Director
Jim Jeter, Associate Director

sports, the IM Office may offer
what you like. Come by and check
