Though there are teams in intramurals such as the Trojans, Texas and Raindrops all of which recruit players and have won a good amount of no matchampionships ter what team your on you will find good competition on any level, Phillips said. Students who don't have a team they want to be on but want to play and team captains who need extra players need not to worry. We have a free agent list, Schroeder said. It won't guarantee you a spot, but I'll give the list to all of the captains. All students who don't have a team need to do is sign the paper, and the captains can pick up an extra player if they need one, Schroeder said. Schroeder said every year he tries to make urals better than the previous and make things in-tra- m as professional as possi- ble. During intramural basketball, stats were recorded for every player, which people seemed to really like, Schroeder said. Also, new events are added every year. Its not a hard thing to sell, Schroeder said. Everybody wants to recreate, compete, play sports and have fun."
