ATHLETICS

Intercollegiate and intramural athletics are under the supervision of the
Director of Athletics and his staff. The University is represented in intercollegiate
competition by both varsity and first-year football, baseball, basketball,

track, cross-country, boxing, tennis, swimming and lacrosse teams. The athletic
plant is one of the finest in the South. Memorial Gymnasium contains three
basketball courts, a swimming pool, a track, boxing and wrestling rooms, and
adequate locker facilities. Scott Stadium, which seats 22,000 people, is regarded
as one of the most beautiful in the country. Lambeth Field has excellent facilities
for track and baseball. Twenty-two tennis courts and four practice fields
for mass games have been built near the Gymnasium.
