Show INTRAMURAL MOVEMENT""'.s.....:;A. F. Robbins DirectorPreston Summerhays ManagerThe conclusion of the 1930-31 school year marks the completion of the fourth year of intramural athletic activity at Utah. The movement, as evidenced by the hundreds of men who participated in the sports offered by it throughout the school year, is now at its best.It was not ever thus: The nascent stages of the program-times in which Director A. F. Robbins fairly begged for support-proved pillars upon which the system in its bigger and better aspectscould be build-ed. Once launched, the movement carried enough impetus within itself to develop to i t s present status. Though the 1930-31 intramural docket offered no additional sports over last year, a marked in-„ T crease in parti-(jreorge JamesManager cipation and apleasing "tone-up" in the quality of play was noticed by the critical observer.Intramurals, of necessity, have been subordinated to varsity athletics. There is no conflict whatsoever. The intramural scheme reaches out to the studious medic, engineer, or freelance who has only a minimum amount of time to devote to physical diversion. In meeting this need, Intramurals have been singularly successful this year.The following sports were participated in this year: Basketball, tennis, horseshoes, wrestling, swimming, skiing, handball, free throwing, track, baseball, and golf. Direc-ter A. F. Robbins handled everything connected with the promotion of the sports and he was assisted by George James, Preston Summerhays, and Major Garff, student managers, who gave liberally of their time and enthusiasm in the furtherance of infra-collegiate athletic rivalry.The A. S. U. U. will again award trophies to the winners of each sport. At the end of the school year, the organization having the most points will receive the large intramural cup.238 |
