Large crowds gathered to see the sandlotters go through their paces. Several strong teams put in a bid for the title which the Phi Delta Theta club won in 1930. Tillicums, Pi Kaps, Sigma Pi's, Sigma Nu's, and the defending champions being the strongest entries. Two diamonds were made available to the players by Superintendent of Grounds, Forsberg, and needless to say they were in use nearly every night throughout the spring quarter. With the improved diamonds and better equipment, a fast type of baseball resulted. GOLF Golf has yet to reach its full stature of growth, but it is gaining each year. The elements of time and place of holding matches are serious deterrents to this sport. Pi Kappa Alpha, winners of the 1930 campaign, entered a strong defend- ing contingent composed of such well-known players as Bob Bird, Mack Corbett, Floyd Utter and Mellie Jensen. Credulous sports critics conceded the Kappa boys a good chance before they even took to the links, but golf strength is far from constant, and hence in actual play potential strength may prove weakness. TRACK Of all sports falling under intramural supervision, track is perhaps the most difficult to supervise. Director Robbins bad to make many last-minute adjudications of eligibility and entries. Lack of equipment and training facilities hampered the best performances of the competing athletes, but the boys gave a good account of themselves despite these misgivings. A few individual stars competing for one team were able to dominate matters, minimizing thereby any attempt at team play. As the intramural year closes, we may safely state that this athletic movement, taken as a whole, has been the most successful season of intra-collegiate sport. 242 |
