Spotlight Intramural Softball started early this month as the Gaylords, an independent team, rolled over Phoenix 12-0. In the second game of the season, an impressive faculty team downed Alpha Rho 7-0. In the water windups, Excelsior captured water polo by humbling Alpha Rho 4-0 but the Knights retaliated by capturing the swimming meet held a few days later. Excelsior finished second in the tank finals with Sigma ' copping third spot and Phoenix finishing in her now familiar last place spot. Kay Thompson is still far in front of the ping-pong pack. Kay slipped past surprising Kent Berg and then pasted Len Evans to win the division. An elimination tourney is being contemplated to bring the table tennis play to a close as soon as possible. Dr. Anderson, IM director, reports that all table tennis finalists are to report to the gym Monday at 1:00 p.m. Players not present will forfeit their matches. At press time no date had been set for the annual intramural track meet. Phoenix is defending champion of the meet and should do nearly as well this spring.

Tho Rrnnms from Boise have1 c ' almost the identical team which MaC9 FlfOC Pate took the championship from We- I'iCjU kllCj tdlj ber last year. Weber will counter, however, with one of the best teams to represent the hillside school in years. Coach Mecham reports that the second game is set for 8 p.m. tonight and, if needed, the final tilt will be played at 11 a.m. tomorrow with the winner meeting Snow College, the southern division champion at 1:00 p.m. The Wildcats have stormed through game after game, chalking up ten victories before tasting defeat at Mesa College last week.

Coach Mecham will send big Jim Johnston on the mound in an attempt to capture the first tilt and thus give the Wildcats an edge in the series. Johnston will probably' be used in Saturday's game also. Baty Morrison or Reed Neil-son will draw the starting assignment in the second game of today's double bill. The probable starting lineup for the Wildcats is as follows: Larry Jensen, catcher; Jim Johnston, pitcher; Clark Drayer, first base; Junior Hartley, second base; Uta-ka Harada, ss.; George Stettler, third base; Bill Bell, If.; Baty Morrison, cf, and Reed Neilson, rf.

New officers will be announced and sophomore members will be made alumni. Last Tuesday a party was held with Alpha Rho up in the hills. We played ball, hiked and ate. There were so many wolves in action it was difficult to distin-quish between those that were affiliated and those that run wild. May 20th is the happy day for our club president, Carma Stan-ger. Congratulations, Carma, and we hope you get your pink blanket. and ball Swabbies on the Go With Many Activities Big sister club Phoenix we Swabbies really had a Monday evening. It was supposedly a hay ride but ended up more a hay fight. Food direction was under Sharon Farr (rolls without butter, pickles that were never served ) . Janice Christensen again gave us all a scare doing the Virginia Reel. Her words after she woke up were, "Man I'll make it thru that dance if it kills me." 3-2 to End Ten Game Win Spree After stetching their winning streak to ten consecutive games the Wildcats were eked 3-2 by Mesa although the Cat's had pounded the Coloradoans for 36 runs in two previous games. In the initial- contest Weber scored 13 runs in two innings and coasted to a, 14-6 win behind the steady flinging of ace hurler Jim Johnston. Junior Hartley, Billy Bell and Baty Morrison all collected triples in the first game to lead the college attack. Larry Jensen, hefty backstop, picked up three singles and a two-bagger in his six appearances at the plate. Bill Bell, Weber's Willie Mays', draped a fast ball over the left field facade with the sacks loaded as Weber sluggers routed the Grand Junction team 22-6 in the second set. Reed Neilson was the winning flinger in the second tilt with Byron Anderson replacing Larry-Jensen behind the plate. In this game, Junior Hartley, diminutive second sacker, belted one out of the park with two mates-aboard. Mesa tackled the first defeat in 11 contests onto the Weberites, scoring a singleton off Baty Morrison in the bottom of the eighth to edge the Cat's 3-2 in the final Saturday. Baty silenced the Maverick bats moreso than either of his predes-sessors but Shell, Mesa pitcher, kept Weber in check after a two-run outburst in the sixth stanza.
