Both quints were speedy. but it seemed that every spurt of the Yanks brought on a greater spurt by their opponents. The winners outscored the present city champlons from scrim- mage and the foul line. Fifteen Le- gion fleld goals were made against the Yanks' twelve. Armstrong made seven points with thirteen tosses from the foul line for the victors, while Heddens and Waxman between them pocketed five of fourteen free tosses for the Yanks. Armstrong and Tabor, the Legion forwards, played stellar floor games and they were ably assisted by Lowe, Gardner and Harris. Hughes was sub. stituted for Lowe in the second half and contributed to his team’s point total. The Yanks opened play with Heddens, Ingley, Waxman, Catlin and Ford in the line-up. Ingley did the best work. Goetz and Sauber were employed as substitutes. Aloysius and Mankattan teams were victors in District League games.

But Of course, intramural sports are not confined to the closed season, but it is at this time when the stress and furore of the great outdoor campaign is rele- gated to the rear that the authorities are able to give most of their time and attention to the cause of sports for all. Making Good Headway. In the course of a western trip, the writer was greatly interested in the progress that has been made in this direction among the institutions of the big ten. At some places, notably Mich- igan, Ohio State and Iliinois, headway has been commensurate with the great reputation which these institutions en- Joy in Intercollegiate sport. Indeed, there seems but one more step to take and that is to follow the example of Princeton and a few of the other great eastern centers where in- trumural exercice is compulsory. At Michigan and elsewhere in the west freshmen are compelled to take gymnas- tics, but from sophomore year on thelr participation in sport is purely volun- tary. It is. thus, incumbent upon the in- tramural directors ghat the sport s tem be made attractive. How well they have succeeded in this at Michigan is made evident by the fact that some five thousand students out of a total en- roliment _of 6.500 are participating in the sixteen sports appearing on the intramural program, while at Illinois four hundred freshmen are now plaving basket ball, and that throughout the student body there are now in existence 110 regularly organized basket ball fives. One Man Is im Control. The great success of the intramural syetem “among certain of the big ten institutions is due to the fact that they are under the deflnite control of one man, an intramural director, whose duties are confined strictly to the organ- izing and carrying on of non-varsity sports.

The literal meaning of the word “intramural” is “within the walls,” a definition which carries us back to the times when cities were so sur- rounded. The word, therefore, hardly applies in its strict interpretation in a general sense it is sufficiently descriptiove, meaning athletics within the walls of the university, or, in other words, sports as carried on ‘among the students of a university as opposed to intercollegiate athletics conducted t%varsny teams. n 1918, rdue followed in 1920. and Indiana and Northwestern in the same year. Wisconsin, Iowa and Chicago have remained aloof from legisiation which, of all things, is the thing needed to put intramural sports on a high plane. Tt is interesting to note that in ad- dition to the sports gemerally In- dulged everywhere, such as basket ball, gymnastics, swimming and the like, the various conference schools have developed games that are dis- tinctive to each. As, for e speed ball. u new and fascinating merger of foot ball and soccer invent- ed and played at Michigan: tag foot ball at Purdue, curling and ice boat racing at Wisconsin, skiing at Minne- sota. and wrestling at Purdue (the Princeton cane spree idea), water basket ball at Illinois (waier polo with the teeth drawn), and volley ball at Indiana. Indoor Base Ball Popul Indoor base ball is everywhere pop- ular, but as the science of this game has ‘progressed there is a large and growing demand among the confer- ence schools that the size of the in- goor floor be reduced. Tt fs felt that 5 much better one and would even come to stand as a close rival to out- door base ball. In speaking of the games selected for intramural play. Elmer D. Mit: chell. the very eflicient intramural director at Michigan, pointed out that choice is directed partly by stu- dent interest, but that over and above this consideration care should be taken to apply games that favor the general aims of the intramural idea, which include the uncovering of var- sity material, social purposes, recrea- tion and physical development. As to the last, Intramural sport among the conference institutions is not now to be regarded as having attained the dignity of direct and comprehensive physical education and cannot be un- til” the system is made compulsory.

February 19.— Willlam J. (Bill) Clarke, the old Ori- ole star and later a catcher on early Washington American League teams, has been re-engaged as coach of thi year's Princeton base ball team. This makes nearly twenty years that Bill has taught the wearers of the orange and black their base ball ropes, and during this time he has turned out some splendid teams, including cham- pionship aggregations. He arrived in_Princeton today and met Capt Jeffries and the candidates for the team. Princeton lost over half of last year's team by graduation and starts the season with a number of vacan- cies 1o be filled. The entire outfield has graduated, while in the inficld the 1088 of Capt. McPhee at second and of Gottschalk at third will be keenly elt. Capt. Jeffries, one of the most versa- tile - players ever in Princeton uni- form, can be called upon to play where he is most needed. Last year he played right field, pitcher and catcher. Cooper and Berg, both sen- jors. first base and shortstop, re- spectively. are the infield veterans. There ar¢ a number of promising catchers available. one of whom should be able to relieve Capt. Jef- fries from that work and strengthen the team correspondingly. Down the Alleys The curtain was rung down on Sherman's alleys Saturday night with a throng present that packed every inch of standing room to see the one- ball tournament staged by the Ma- sonic League.
