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. The interfraternity bowling tourna- ment brought victory to Delta Theta Exclusive designs in HATS and GOWNS MRS.

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- STUbENTS LUNCH , 409 EAST JEFFERS09. OPEN 6:30 A. W. TILEL 11:00 P.
