I THE MICHIGAN DAILY Speed Wall, Nelv Game, Considered Success By Intramural Officials as the official intramural sport. Di- rector Mitchell plans to have the game copyrighted, and the rules print- ed and distributed to other institutions which have, for some time, been look- inrfr en Qo hn ntP N "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.
