Show GOLF HP HE Pi Kappa Alpha golfing team annexed the annual intra-mural tournament by defeating -^- the Phi Delta Theta fraternity in the final round. Sixteen teams originally entered the meet which was one of the most successful ever run off on the Ute campus. The team representing the winning aggregation was composed of Bob Bird, Jimmy Hodgson, and Chub Utter. Bird and Utter won the two matches from the Phi Delta Theta team composed of Seaton Prince, Bob Porter, and Frank Wissmar. The winners experienced little difficulty in gaining the top honors. Bird was the most consistent of the three. His tee shots and his ability to play the greens earned Bird most of his matches. Utter played a steady game but at times was a little erratic. Hodgson toured the Nibley Golf Course a few strokes over par each time he played. For winning the tourney, the Pi Kappa Alpha trio will receive 100 points toward the all-year participation trophy of the University of Utah. This is the first time that a team intra-mural tournament has been run off. In past years, the tournament was an individual affair. In a spring tournament sponsored by Graduate Manager Stanley Murphy, of the athletic department, thirty-two men contested for the singles championship of the campus. Among these were the following: Pres Summerhays, Bob Bird, Bob Porter, Jimmy Hodgson, Chub Utter, Morris Buswell, Harold Schoettlin, Bob Crawford, and Max Llewellyn. The big upset in the tournament came when Harold Schoettlin, freshmen, took into camp the touted Pres Summerhays with one up on the eighteenth hole. Summerhays is considered one of the most consistant winners on the "U" campus. In the quarter finals, Bob Bird won his match from Schoettlin, while Buswell decisioned Bob Porter in the quarter finals and Delmar Hovey in the semi-finals. At the present time there are four in the running for the finals: z\ble Larsen, Hoitt Ellerbeck, Morris Buswell, and Bob Bird. Larsen and Ellerbeck will play in the quarter finals, while Bob Bird takes on the winner of this tilt for semi-final honors. The victor in this match vies for the championship with Buswell.
