Von thr* crown of tin* intramural
tiasketball eon "creme ami thereby
eloscd one of 1 hr* longest anil most
beetle seasons in (lie before of the
University.
This year some .°>fl teams, repre
senting halls, clubs, fraternities, and
free lancers, divided into five
leagues tussled hard for victories,
not only for their respective or
ganizations Imt also for the love
of the game.
In league A T’hi Kappa Psi emcrg
f*d triumphant; in It Independents
Came through, while I’lii Delta Theta
proved most potent in (' and Alpha
Tail Omega and Beta Theta T’i gath
ered the laurels from leagues I) and
E, respectively. All matches were
round robin, arranged by flilbert
Herman ce of the physical educa
tion department. The finals were
straight elimination tilts.
The manner of running off the
contests were slightly different this
season Ilian in previous years, which
witnessed elimination matches with
only one consolation tournament.!
Thus in the 10lit! L’7 year, the (piin
tets narrowed down lo only two,
Phi Delta Theta and Sigma X11, in
which the former won by the score
of l.'l to 1 li in n great mix. This
same was evident in the TD27-28
Season when the Sphinx, one of tin*
best teams In ever grace an intra- J
mural basketball floor, copped the
championship by a score of II to 10
from Sigma Nil.
Tlie difference in I lie tournament
this year was in the fact that all
teams played steadily up to the1
finals, whim the fives with the most
victories were allowed the privilege
of fighting it out for the title.
Some 20 years hack an inter
class basketball competitive spirit
became evident and games were
drawn up and played by men picked
from each class. As time grew on
and living organizations made their
presence known, compel it ion in this
sport ensued between the various
houses, la I'HH-lf) the first sched
ule was drawn up for inler-frater
nily contests, though no authentic
results or data were retained.
