THE THRESHER
Intramurils Reach 500 Per Cent
511 Boys In Intramurals So Far;
Basketball Schedules To Be Set
When the final tabulation of basketball entries was made
it showed that 511 boys had signed up to play intramural sports
at Rice so far in 149. A goal of 1000 participants has been
set for this year and if entries continue to be heavy the goal
should be within easy reach. The 511 total included entries
in touch football, tennis singles
and doubles, squash singles,
badminton singles, table tennis
singles, handball singles, and bas-
ketball. Doubles competition will
come after the first of the year
and *-vith other sports to choose
from the boa] will most likely be
reached when softball entries come
in.
Getting back to things at hand
we have these developments: The
intramural basketball situation is
beginning to look up. Team cap-
tains met with John Plumbley in
the lounge and, although several
captains were absent, much was
decided concerning league play
and schedules. This is a tentative
arrangement but if captains can
agree it will be the final team or-
ganization for play which starts
immediately after Thanksgiving

Holidays. Teams were played in
leagues according to their ability
to play on a certain day or night.
As it looks now there will be no
Monday League. In the Tuesday
bracket we have the Filthy Five,
Slippery Slimes, Donkeys, and the
Five Macs. The Wednesday arrange-
ment is NROTC Barnacles, CCC,
Sharkeys, Ancient Mariners, and the
RAF. Thursday finds the Archi-
Sharps, PT Haskeens, Hustlin'
Mummies, Rally Club, and the MF's.
Friday looks like the Roaches,
Dubbs, NROTC Sea Hawk, Fubars,
and NROTC Zoomers. League sched-
ules will not be drawn until all
team captains inform the Physical
Education office exactly when they
can play. With but one gym avail-
able in the afternoon after 4:30,
some games will have to be played
early in the evening. Team captains
are urged to notify officials if and
when their clubs can play early in
the evening.
Individual sports took over the
spotlight in intramural play with
table tennis, badminton, handball,
and squash being the menu until
Januai'y 14 when champions in these
sports will have been crowned.
The Sapor Six Has Doae It Again!
Top Field of 23 Football Squads
In Ragged Intramural Competition
by John Plumbley
The Super Six has done it again!
Never has such a team dominated play in Intramurals*
They started their winning streak four years ago and climaxed
their career with a convincing 12-0 win over the Dubbs last
Friday to cop the '49 crown going away.
They dominated a field of
a
23 teams this year and headed
the same number in 1948. They
came through league play undefeat-
ed and went into the playoff series
against the Donkeys. Bill Fairchild's
boys put up a stiff battle but class
came out on top and the Super Six
won 18-0. In the Donkey game it
was the passing of Cy Baird and
the catching of Carrol Baird which
spelled defeat for the winners of
the Central League. Cy completed
10 passes, 3 of which hit for touch-
downs. He found Carroll* Baird with
a pair and rounded out his after-
noon by connecting with his usual
lattery mate, Tom Cox, for the
other.
Enter Finals
They gained the finals when they
swept passed the faltering Black
Aces 26-6. Again it was the passing
of Cy Baird. He flipped scoring
shots to Carroll Baird, Tom Cox,1
and found Bob Squires twice over
the scoring line. The winners pick-
ed up the extra two points when
Chick Harris of the Aces fumbled
over his own goal line.
In the meantime the NROTC ani
the Dubbs were doing business over
on field number two. For the first
half the NROTC dominated play due
mainly to the pass catching of Bud-
dy Gregory. The Dubbs found the
range in the third stanza however
and pushed across the only score
of the game. The score resulted
from a blocked kick deep in Navy
territory. Truett Peachey broke
through and the ball went over to
the Dubbs on the Navy 10 yard
line. A needle-threading pass from
Ernst Carlson to Bill Bishop put
the ball on the 3 yard line. Carl-
son again took to the air and flip-
ped to Boo Odem standing all alone
