Bits Of Sports
The entry list for the 1922' Davis
Cup tournament closed Wednesday
with the total number of 14 challeng-
ing nations. These together with the
United States, the present champions,
makes the total number ofa15 con-
testants. This total, it is said, sur-
passes that of any other international
contests including the Olympic games.
The last entry to be received was that
of the Philippine Island association.
The draws for the tournament were
made Friday at the U. S. Lawn Tennis
association.
Reginald James McNamara, winner
of the six day bicycle race held dur-
ing the past week at the Madison
Square Gardens in New York, an Aus-
trian by birth, was naturalized Thurs-
day by Federal Judge Charles F.
Lynch. McNamara will leave shortly
to compete in the Paris six day race.,
He wished to compete under Ameri-
can colors and the special naturali-I
zation proceedings were held to make
that possible.
Ed (Strangler) Lewis is reported to
have challenged Jack Dempsey to a
mixed wrestling and boxing match.
His offer is made 'to disprove the be-
lief held by many sport writers that
boxing is superior to wrestling as a
means of self defense. Jack Kearns,
Dempsey's manager, has accepted the
offer it is rumored.
Six years of organization have plac-I
ed the department of intramural ath-
letics of the University of Michigan at
a high point of efficiency. Michigan
has been a pioneer in the intramural
idea and, as such, has been able to
gain but little from any source save
her own experience. It must be
granted, however, that the department
owes something-to ideas obtained from
other universities, such as Pennsylva-
nia, Ohio State, Illinois, and Wiscon-
sin, but, for the most part, Michigan's
intramural system has grown through
experimentation.
An idea of the growth of the. de-
partment may be gained from a cur-
sory glance at the statistics which
have been kept since its founding. In
the year 1913-14, when the organiza-
tion first took a definite place in Micbh-
igan activities, figures show that there
were 2,058 participants in the 13 sports
then conducted under the auspices of
the department. A gradual increase
took place until the interruption of the
World war, when the number fell to
1,750 in 10 different sports, a note-
worthy figure, nevertheless. Then;
with the coming of peace, great for-
ward strides were taken until, in the
year 1920-21, with 16 sports appearing
on the intramural program, there were
4.068 participants.
Best Sports Selected
The sports comprising the program
have been subject to constant change,
some having been found impractical,
And others having fallen off through
lack of interest. In their stead the
department has been careful to choose
sports which are not only highly de-
sirable, but which meet with popular
'taste. Football, for example, was
dropped because of the large number
of injuries which have always result-
ed due to lack of proper training and
equipment. For the past two years
soccer has taken its place, but has.
been found to lack the necessary
spontaneous interest. In the fall just
past a new game, speedball, the in-
vention of Director Elmer D. Mitchell,
'12, was successfully tried out by fra-
ternity teams. As a result of these
f trial games, speedball will take a reg-
ular place on the intramural program
next fall.
The months that have passed since,
the opening of college have been busy
ones for the department. The inter-'
fraternity soccer tournament, with 31
entries, was won by Phi Gamma Del-
ta, Alpha Sigma Phi losing to the'
champions in the final game. In the
interclass matches, 12 teams took part,
the Senior engineers, led by Al Cuth-
bert,' defeating the Sophomore lits,
managed by Ted Merner, in the final
round.
Cross Country Introduced
While the soccer tournaments were
in progress the freshman, All-campus,
and interfraternity cross country runs
were held, the latter being an inno-
vation on the intramural program. Is-
bell led a field of over 40 yearlings
across the mark in the Freshman run,
and G. H. Griffin, '23E, captured the
All-campus contest. The fraternity
race was won by Phi Sigma Delta, al-
though the first man to, cross the
mark was Isbell, Sigma Nu, with Nee-
ly of Alpha Chi Rho second.
The fall All-campus tennis tourna-
ment in singles was won 'by Weldop
Hames, '24, who defeated John A. Gus-
tus, '22, in the finals. Victory in dou-
bles went to Dunakin and Zook over
Kline and Hodgman.

To Reorganize in Fall
The plans for the future of the
department are extensive. Reorgani-I
zation will take place next fall, thereM
being two intramural managers, ow-
ing to the fact that one is now unable
to cope successfully with both' office
and field work. Director Mitchell
hopes to see several new sports add-
ed to next year's program.
In the meantime the intramural
staff will be kept busy with the re-
mainder of the year's program, un-
