Gang bangs way to intramural volleyball championship
by MIkE ROSS and with soft fields. This' se- ball title in a manner becoming pie are thinking about different take in $600 for the whole year
by MIKE ROSS
The Men's Volleyball Cham-
pionship went, not unexpected-
ly, to the Bang Gang last Thurs-
day. The only match that mat-
tered was their semifinal win
over the Subsetters, 17-15, 15-8.
After a brief rest, the Gang
mauled the Reds, 15-3, 15-10.
College Volleyball will start
soon; consult the Sports
Chairman in your College for
details on team selection.
Softball continues and the
Whiz Kids stole the Friday
League from the Pro Profs +
3, by annihilating then unde-
feated Buster Flour. The in-
spired Kids sent 28 men to
bat in the first two innings to
pile up 18 runs. The Monday
League's soon-to-be also-rans'
games were washed out in the
deluge, a.s was Tuesday League
action, under bright sunshine
and with soft fields. This' se-
verely dampened any of the
victory hopes for the Grub
Street Hacks (the same men
that gave you the written word)
as they have thus far shown
amazing ineptitude on dry
fields.
The College Swimming meet
was the closest in memory.
With the final relay to go, five
teams were separated by only
five points. Richardson won the
relay, Baker was narrowly de-
feated for second, and Rich-
ardson won the meet, 30-29 over
Baker. The girls division was
no contest as Elise Ragland's
large Brown team blasted
J ones' few super stars. Each
of the sixteen Brown swimmers
scored points in a great dis-
play of depth and organization.
Number Two won the
Women's Intramural Basket-
ball title in a manner becoming
all too commonplace in girls
sports this year — by default.
The Jones (unnamed) intra-
mural squad failed to show up
for two arranged times for their
game with Number Two, so the
game was forfeited.
Girls' Tennis is moving right
along, however. In last week's
tournament in Austin, Jan
Lindsay advanced to the semis
defeating former state finalist
Margo Joiner of UH along the
way, (5-4, 6-3. This weekend she,
Jan Godfrey, Cynthia Evans,
Cheryl Szpak and Michelle
George will play in the San
Jacinto College Tournament,
where "we expect to do pretty
well" according to Coach Eva
Lee.
Due to budget cutbacks and
stolen and worn out uniforms
and equipment, the H&PE peo-
' ' *-■ .Ik Mi
f '\ ;
pie are thinking about different
ways to kgep the intramural pro-
grams operating. It looks like
next year, the entry fee will
be $1 per contestant, with no
refund. This year softb'all is
costing $600 for referees (and
this year there is only one per
game — last year there were
two). Mr. Barker says they only
take in $600 for the whole year
under the present system: 50
per person, with a 254 refund
if there have been no forfeited
matches.
Also, to keep the uniforms
for gym use in good condition,
the staff would like to assess
a $10 per semester "lab fee"
for freshmen taking the compul-
sory P.E. course.
