Speed Wall, Nelv Game, Considered
Success By Intramural Officials

"Speed ball is a success." So says
Elmer D. Mitchell, director of intra-
mural athletics; so says Ralph O. Ry-
chener, assistant director; so say the
members of some 28 fraternities who
participated in trial contests of the
.new game this fall.
Speed ball was proposed and work-
ed out last year as a substitute for
soccer, a game which has been in use
for two :years as a fall intramural
sport, but which has not been suc-
cessful to the fullest degree, by Di-
rector Mitchell, and Fred Fletcher, '20,
and Harold Storz, ex-22L, at that time
assistant director and intramural
manager, respectively. This fall, for
the first time the game was given
an official tryout, and in 15 contests
at the conclusion of the soccer tour-
nament it was shown to be not only
highly adaptable to intramural use,
but a gaune which catches and holds
the interest of players and spectators
alike.
Wheni14 games had been played,
each house being awarded 25 points on
the intramural chart, the two aggre-
gations which appeared to be superior
to all.others, Phi Delta Theta and Al-
pha Sigma Phi, donated their services
for a final exhibition game for which
no further points were awared. The
battle was fast and brilliant, and re-
sulted in a victory for the Phi Delt
team, 8 to 4. At the conclusion of the
contest the respective captains, Kipke,
leader of the winners, and star foot-
ball player, and Henderson, Alpha Sig
captain, and former star Wolverine'
basketball player, concurred in their
opinions that the game has come to
the Intramural program to stay. Both
readily admitted that "the name suited
the action".
The game is played on a regulation
football field, with all markings simi-
lar, save that the lines at intervals
of -five yards are unnecessary. The
ball is the regulation soccer ball, and
little other equipment is needed.
Eleven men compose each team, ana
the kickoff is similar to soccer. Therel
is one.great distinction which is de-
cidedly to the advantage of speed ball
in that the rules permit catching of
fly balls. Such a ball, when caught,

may be passed o kicked. The moment ing 3 acotet z uts nture

from a foul line is so counted. Tech-'

hands, gives the opposing side the
ball for a free or drop kick from the
spot where the offense occurred. I
