Intra-Mural Proposals .. -
SHORTLY AFTER the opening of the summer semester, Coach Chet
Stackhouse, head of the summer intra-mural sports program, an-
nounced plans for summer competition in softball, golf, and tennis.
One week later, Stackhouse issued a second announcement to the
effect that only two teams had filed applications for the softball league,
and that a grand total of three men had indicated a desire to enter the
tennis and golf tourneys.
Eventually, a sufficient number of softball teams were rounded I
up to permit the holding of a, tournament, but the proposed golf and
tennis matches had to be dropped entirely. All of which indicates
to us that there is soniething wrong someplace.
An intra-mural program can be, and should be, a very valuable asset
to any college campus. Men who, for one reason or another, are unable
to compete on the varsity athletic level, find an outlet for their desire for
sports activity in a program geared to their talents and interests. That,
theoretically, is the function of intra-mural athletics.
But in order to fulfill that function, an intra-mural program must
have the backing of the students involved. And that backing seems
pretty generally lacking on this campus., For the lack of enthusiasm
shown this summer was nothing new. The same thing, with minor
variations, has been going on ever since we have attended the Univer-
sity.
WHAT FOLLOWS is not meant as a criticism of the manner in which
the I-M program is currently handled. It is aimed rather as a series
of suggestions based largely on our own experience, for the improvement
of the program into something approaching fulfillment of its real campus
purpose.
Perhaps the first thing we would offer in the line of suggestion is a
more adequate means for men unaffiliated with either a fraternity
or a large rooming house to compete in team sports. The man who
does not belong to such a group finds it more than a little difficult
to join a team, even if he wishes to do so. A pool of names of such
interested men might help to solve the problem. Teams could be
made up from the names submitted.
Another matter that comes immediately to mind is that of proper super-
vision. We recall quite a few occasions when the lack of adequate officiat-
ing turned what should have been cleanly-contested games into back-alley
brawls. Perhaps it would be necessary to hire officials for a nominal
charge, after first making sure that such officials are qualified to do the
job.

NO QUARTER ASKED:

Concentrating on defensive tac-
tics, Coach H. 0. (Fritz) Crisler ran
the Michigan grid squad through a
rugged practice session yesterday in
preparation for Saturday's -ntra-
squad contest.
Despite a broiling sun which beat
down on. Ferry Field without mercy,
the eager Wolverine charges wound
up signal and line drills with a "no-
quarter-asked" scrimmage. Instead
of the usual varsity Blue-Jayyee
White lineups, the Blue squad was
split into two teams and proceeded
to battle it out from there.
