Show R1 s^r-^S INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS EALIZING the value of athletics in the life of the student, the Intra-Mural Sports Department of the University of Utah included in its program this year a large variety of athletic activities. Interfraternity, interclass, and non-organization types of keenly-contested competition composed the divisions of intramural sport. Included were baseball, basketball, tennis, handball, horse-shoe pitching, wrestling, foul-throwing, skiing and track. A silver trophy is annually awarded to the organization winning the most points in intra-mural competition. The variety of competition not only gives athletic advantages to the students, but creates a better feeling and closer relationship between classes, fraternities, and non-fraternal societies. Basketball It was a brilliant Pi Kappa Alpha basketball team that played through the University of Utah's annual intra-mural basketball tournament in 1930, coming into the final game with the outstanding non-fraternal organization, the Pilmids, and emerged victorious, 27 to 26. The championship game was played in the Ute men's gymnasium and attracted the attention of more than 500 interested spectators. Both quintets displayed their best brand of playing in the concluding quarter. On numerous occasions, the Pilmids had the edge of the battle, but it was short-lived as a Pi Kap member would sink a goal from the mid-floor. Members of the winning team were Ray "Tiny" Forsberg, forward; Bob Bird, forward-I erry Watkins, forward; Pratt Kesler, center; Howard Summerhays, guard; and Red Gleave guard. Wrestling The Utopian Club has a lion's share of star members of the wrestling fraternity and for that reason proved to be peer of the mat sport among the organizations on the hill. The winners moved into the finals without being defeated. Sigma Nu was the other finalist. The Utopian mat men won more than half their matches and when the contest was finished, discovered they had amassed 17 points against 8 for the Sigma Nu's. Ray Hardie, Archie Eberts, Otto Bohl Les Grames, Bill Wrathall, Edwin Hersey, Don Hibson, and Horace Rutledge composed the winning Utopian wrestling team. PI K. A.
