It’s springtime and once
again everyone’s thoughts turn
to...softball, of course! Now is
the time for students to sign up
for this year’s Round Robin
Tourney in intramural co-ed
softball.
Requirements for the an
nual tourney are simple to
meet: each team must have
five men and five women to
compete. Teams must be sign
ed up by April 15, and games
will begin on April 20.
Each year about, eight
teams participate in the games,
which are held from noon-1 *
p.m. on Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
Loren Swivel, coordinator
of the tourney is optimistic
about the turn-out of teams.
Swivel commented, “Usually
we have a number of teams
participate; and of course, the
more teams we have, the better
it is. This is for fun, not com
petition.”

ball tourney are on the In
