Intra-Mural Football
Summary
As of many seasons before, the
non-varsity participants began to take
the football field along with the var
sity members in order to prepare
themselves for the big task—the play
off for the campus championship.
There was no “let-up” in the in
terest, number of participants, spirit
of play, etc., from the years past in
spite of the war conditions. There
were twenty-three Freshmen, eighteen
Sophomores and fifteen Juniors taking
part in the highly spirited event.
The Freshman football team com
pletely dominated the play by defeat
ing the Sophomores, Juniors and “All-
Star” group for the championship of
the campus.
The success of the Freshman group
was due largely to the magnificent
handling and coaching of Captain
Warren G. Parsons of the varsity
squad, ably assisted by Maurice
Moore, Parson’s teammate. These two
young men drilled their group day
after day in order to prepare them
for their great accomplishment.
Freshmen defeated the Sophomores,
7-0, the Juniors, 7-0, and the All-Star
group, 19-6. The success of the Fresh
man team afield will, without a doubt,
be credited^ to its flashy, quarterback,
Intra-Mural Plans
Intra-mural plans for the rest of
the year will be as follows:
I. Basketball round robin and tour
ney.
Foul-shooting.
21.
Goal-Hi tourney.
II. Volley ball tourney.
III. Softball round robin and tour
ney.
IV. Badminton tourney.
V. Outdoor tennis tourney.
VI. Hand ball.
VII. Horse shoes.
J. C. Walker. Time and time again,
Walker completely baffled his oppon
ents with his timely signal-calling and
deceptive ball-handling.
In the Sophomore game, Walker
passed to Shields for the only score
of the game. The pass traveled 20
yards in the air and was caught by
Shields in the end-zone.
The Sophomore group, sparkled by
fullback Colemon Kerry, saw many
chances for a score, but by many
penalties, they were set back on four
or more occasions.
. The Freshman-Junior game, too,
was a thriller. Nearly 200 students
and faculty members witnessed the
Freshman push over a touchdown in
the first minutes of plav which proved
to be the winning punch. Fullback
Lawrence McCollum carried the ball
over from the 5-yard line with a line
buck.
The Juniors never witnessed a
chance to score, because of many
penalties and other “set-backs.” At
tempting to run from a T-formation,
the Junior team was very loosely or
ganized and were real!” out-played
and out-smarted by the bustling
Freshman group.
The Champs sought another oppon
ent in order to prove their suprem
acy—an All-Star team composed of
Sophomores and Juniors united to
play the Freshman team—and were
defeated 19-6.
The touchdown was made in this
fashion. For the Freshmen Donner
intercepted a pass and ran 50 yards;
Lipscomb threw a 30-yard pass to
Shields, and J. C. Walker connected
to Shields with a 20-yard pass for
the final tally. For the All-Stars,
Kerry bucked center for three yards
and the only score.
