Show INTRAMURALS In billiard competition were Dick Cracroft, Dick McFarland, and John Mathis. Guys Named Joe The University of Utah intramurals, Utah's largest athletic program, again lured teams from every organization on campus. Without scholarships and downtown coaches behind them, students competed for the simple love of the game. As individual competition started, Pi Kappa Alpha pushed over a touchdown to outscore the Betas in the finals of touch football. The Phi Delts downed pins and competitors in bowling action to outscore the Pi Kaps in the championship match. The Pi Kaps rejoined the victory parade by out-scoring the Betas in the volleyball competition but only after a heated duel. In basketball the fluctuating Pi Kaps were down as the Air Force ROTC crew racked up a 10-point victory and the intramural cage crown. Final score: 36-26. The Air Force crew again showed its strength in the boxing program by defeating the Pi Kappa Alpha team. Individually, independent Bob Gaw-ronski won the heavyweight title with Ron Huber, Del Boccignone, Jim Allred, Jim Gray, Bart Rowe, and Del Rowe the other boxing champs. Sigma Chi and Beta Theta Pi scrambled to the last match in the wrestling competition before the Sigs walked away with the crown. Carl Smith of the Navy ROTC waltzed off with the heavyweight title; Dick Watkins, Don Walder, Spade Cooley, Ken Butler, Pep Cooney, Ray Johnson, and John Robinson copped other titles. The Sigs continued their winning streak by pocketing the most balls to win the billiards crown. Sigma Nu's felt the defeat in this duel. The Pi Kaps came back into the limelight by knocking off the Sigs in the table tennis contest. The Betas outscored the Sigma Chi's in the skiing competition held on Alta's slopes, but only after a slide-rule tabulation determined the close race. Wrestlers and boxers.
