Water Winners While softball was getting rained out this semester, several teams took to the water by choice playing water polo and innertube water polo. An ex hilarating game, water polo re quired players to swim the length of the pool and then shoot for goal, preferably more often than the opposing team. Innertube water polo is very similar except that players are hampered by the need to travel through the water while sitting Paper Towels Clean Up Last Monday saw the end of a season of sets, spikes, blocks, and digs as Volleyball Triples ended. A fast sport, triples requires extra skill and hustle as three players must cover the area normally covered by six. Experienced players sharpened their skills while newcomers to the sport learned to react quickly and hit more precisely. There were many exciting contests, but when the finals were over, these teams were the 1982 champions: Class A Men’s Paper Towels Women’s Trouble CoRec Devils Class B Men’s Team Women’s WRM Team CoRec Steady State Congratulations to all the competitors, and especially to this year’s winners! INNERTUBE WATER BASKETBALL — The Jebbies Haas Hall Wins It All in an innertube. While all teams are appeared to be splashing their ways to a good time, a few of them earned championship titles in the process. In water polo the win ners were: “Humanoids” (men) and “The Team” (corec). In innertube water polo, “War Eagles” won the class A cham pionship shirts, and “Mutants” won the class B awards. Congratulations to the 1982 water champs! Last Thursday, the Intramural-Recreational Sports Department held its annual steak fry to recognize those individuals who have contributed to the success of the 1981-82 program and also to present a variety of intramural awards to this year’s deserving winners. Everyone attending enjoyed the barbeque (alas, steak is too expensive these days) and then settled in for the award presentations. IM-REC Sports Director, Dennis Corrington, first acknowledged several people in attendance and thanked them for their support in various areas. Without these peo ple and their assistance, the Intramural- Recreational Sports Department would not be able to do all of the things it now does. Dennis went on to introduce the people behind the scenes — the IM-REC Sports staff. Finally, the highlight of the evening the 1981- 82 awards were presented. This year, E-l re ceived both tKe Fish division flag and the Penber- thy-Tishler award after accumulating a combined corps and fish total of 3,360 points. Squadron 1, with 1,708 points, was awarded the Corps Intra mural All-Year flag. In the Men’s Dorm Division, Davis-Gary earned the A division award for dorms with more than 250 people, while Puryear won the AA divi sion (dorms with less than 250). Haas Hall walked away with the Women’s Dorm A division all-year award, while Keathley received the AA division prize. The Athletic Award of Excellence is given to the residence hall that accumulates the most cham pionship points as a result of placing in divisional and/or all-university playoffs throughout the year. Dunn Hall, with 372.5 points, earned the Men’s award, while Haas Hall added yet another trophy to its collection winning the women’s excellence award with 410 points. The Corps, Fish, Dorm, and Independent divi sion teams owe much of their success to the conscientious and diligent team managers who keep them informed of entry deadlines, schedule changes, etc. and do their best to motivate players to participate in intramurals throughout the year. It’s not an easy job, but some team managers work especially hard. This year’s outstanding team managers were: Corps Bob Hubbell (L-2) Men’s Dorm John Thornton (Puryear) Women’s Dorm Tammie McGinnis (Haas) Men’s Independent Rick Taylor Women’s Independent Jana Harter And where would you be without game offi cials?! Some players would argue we might be better off, but generally games run smoother with officials on the field or court. The following offi cials were recognized for weathering all the grief and still doing outstanding jobs: Ron Bergquist, Thomas Brow, Chris Kimmins, Joan Smith, Chris Seams, Scott Smathers, and Mary Lou Youngblood. Other key individuals who received jackets for their outstanding contributions as student workers included: senior, Corine Sasser, for her work as a building supervisor; another senior, Mike Bishop, for his work as a sport supervisor and student assistant; Mary Kimmins, for her cooly competent and always pleasant supervision of individual and dual sports; and Cindy Phillips, whose attitude and enthusiasm made her ID Checker of the Year. These are the people that keep things going when the staff goes home at 5:00. In the words of one individual, “They get all the grief, and none of the glory.” Hopefully, they didn’t get too much grief, and they’ll be back next year to go through it all again. The annual steak fry is our chance to give them a little of the glory they deserve. So THANKS to everyone who worked this year or volunteered their time, support, and/or dollars! YOU helped make the Texas A&M Intramural-Recreational Sports Program one of the best in the country.
