Fifty-three teams have been en-
'ered in the intramural basketball
tournament being conducted by the
WAA, the largest entry ever to be
recorded for this sports tournament,
according to Shelby Dietrich, intra-
mural manager. Jordan Hall leads
the list with six teams.
Because of the uprecedented size
"f the group, it has been necessary to
ask that each participating team
supply a person to keep time and to
score the games. A meeting will be
.eld at 4 p.m. Friday in Barbour Gym
.o acquaint the team scorekeepers
tnd timekeepers with the methods of
work.
Miss Dietrich emphasized that the
persons engaged in this work are just
as much a part of the team as the
?layers, and that they will have to be
resent at every game in which their
.eam participates. "Player substi-
tutes will not be able to act in this
'apacity since the handling of the
ime clock and the correct scoring
methods can't be learned a minute
before the game starts."
