Show Jntramumls - for the Competition waxed extra keen this year in intramural play as the members of the various Greek tongs came forth with unpre-cedented enthusiasm in the hope of crowding an already over-crowded trophy case for next year's rushing activities. The Sigs and the Sigma Nus quickly grabbed the limelight by meeting in the finals of both the fall basketball and ping pong tournaments. The Sigma Chi boys surprised the would-be bookmakers when their "David and Goliath" quintet trounced a more experienced Sigma Nu team 18-9. However, the wearers of the Snake were quick to retaliate. Led by Frank Allen, their paddle wielders became champs by ousting the Sigs in a close 2-1 match. Not to be counted out of the year's running, the Pi Kaps raised the hopes of their rooters by entering a casaba team of former high school stars who racked and socked their way through to the winter quarter basketball title. They won the hard way, defeating the fall champs in the first round and the strong Sigma Nu team in the quarterfinals. In the finals, they outclassed the surprising Sig No. 2 team and snowed them under with an avalanche of baskets. They went down in defeat, however, when they met the powerful independent team, who called themselves the Kappa Stranoes, in the playoff for the school title. Other winter quarter tournaments found little change in the results of former years. The rugged boys of the Phi Delt fraternity continued their monopoly of the boxing competition; and the skiers from the Sig house extended their reign as top winter outdoor sportsmen by taking the Ski Carnival hands down.
