IMs Start Winter Play;
Hollies, SAE Favored

High Point competition will
move into its winter schedule in the
next few weeks after the exam
period hill, Basketball, bowling,
pool, swimming, squash, and the
perennially favorite boxing will all
share the intramural spotlight.

Memorial Gym basketball gets
rolling this evening at seven. Though
the quality of the action is
pretty erratic, sometimes bordering
on the superb, more often than not
leaning toward the mickey mouse.
High Point league competition will
be hot and heavy this winter.
merging as a pre-season favorite
will be SAE.

Right on their tail, however, is
Phi Gam, the winner of three man
play last year. In the finals of the
five man competition last season
SAE whipped Phi Gam for the
championship, but both houses
have the majority of their talent
back. The Phi Gams won the title
the year before over this same
Grady Avenue gang.

probably be ATO and DKF. Both
teams boast height and experience
enough to pull upsets.

fourth round.

are due a week from tomorrow.

be held during the first week in
March. Last year's winners were
Saint Anthony and effusive Phi
Delts.
