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.
