Hale Kane Earns
All-Mural Crown
Hale Kane, independent men's
dorm, has earned its second
straight all-sport intramural
championship. Although some
sports are not yet completed, the
dorm has a wide enough margin
over its nearest rival that it can
coast to the title.
In second place is Phi Delta
Theta, which jumped from sixth
last year. The next in line is Alpha
Tau Omega, followed by Sigma Al
pha Epsilon in fourth, and Sigma
Chi in fifth.
Hale Kane, with the tennis fi
nals yet to be played, can get no
less than 941 points. If they win
the tennis championship, they will
cop 954. The Phi Delts, in the golf
semi-finals, can do no worse than
850, with a possible high of 870.
Alpha Tau Omega cannot over
haul the Phi Delts, since the high
est it can get, even if its wins the
golf championship, is 846. On the
other hand its margin over SAE,
which has finished its competition,
is a safe 100 points.
Hale Kane got off to a blazing
start last fall, winning first place
in all three sports for 375 points.
Winter term, it was Phi Delta
Theta which walked off with the
highe.st total, 379. Alpha Tau
Omega has cinched a first place
spring finish, with either 267 or
277 points, depending on whether
or not it wins the golf crown.

THREE TEAMS TOO MUCH
Faculty Nine Loses to Students
Despite a tremendous late game
rally that netted two runs, the
Faculty women fell victim to the
combined talents of three student
co-ed ball clubs Wednesday on Ger
linger field, 7-4.
An apparent cause of the defeat
was that the faculty nine was just
worn out by the trio of girls’ teams
which each played one inning. The
older club had to go the entire
three innings without relief.
Mixes ’Em Up
Faculty pitcher Shirley Cox, P.E.
instructor, hurled a masterful ball
game, completely baffling the stu
dent hitters with a variety of fast,
slow-fast, medium, fast-slow, anc
slow ball pitching. Her curve, uf
and down, was also working tc
perfection.
The losers threatened to pro
test the contest in the second in
ning, after going behind, 6-2,
when the second student throw
er, Norma Munie of the Lone
Swatter nine, substituted a
sponge ball for the regular horse
hide.
However, the impartial arbitra
tor, Counselor of Men A. L. El
lingson, overruled the protest. (Be
fore the game began, Ump Elling
son banned all soda pop, sold ir
bottles, from the field.)
No “Coming Home Late”
Faculty member Golda Wickham
ruled her squad with an iron hand.
She didn't tolerate poor excuses,
such as “being stranded on the
bases,” whenever her girls “came
home late.”
The game almost broke up in
the last inning when the students,
feaTTng a last minute faculty come
back, assembled all three of their
teams on the field. Against 21
fielders and three pitchers, the
Faculty batting attack folded, with
the last batter hitting into a double
play.
