Tuesday, December 5, 1922 INTER-UNIT basketball league is organized Penn State Club To Be Instrum ental In Arranging For Non- Fraternity Games The Penn State Club will again be instrumental in directing an inter unit basketball league in which non fraternity men-will participate. lost year these games were a singular suc cess and marked one of the accom plishments of the Penn State Club. The keen interest and sportsmanship shown have stimulated plans for a more successful season this year, with a greater number of units participating and an enlarged schedule If possible. The units from which teams are or ganised are those as shown on maps of the town in the Ofllclal Directory and Freshman Bible. The schedule Is so arranged that each unit will have the same number of games. A regular league schedule is planned for tho first part of the season while the lat ter part of the season will be devoted to an elimination contest to determine the winning team. This championship Is a coveted prize for any unit and It Is a fast, clever team that acquires the title. As a further incentive, the Athletic Association makes individual trophy awards to every member of the winning team. Managers for unit teams are repre* sentatlves from each unit elected by the non-fraternity men in the unit. Each unit is on its own Initiative to see that it is represented by an active manager who will, work for the beat advantage of the team. It is desired that men who were managers last year and are still in college should make immediate steps toward organizing their units again this year. In units not organized by a last year's manager, any man with the Initiative Is the .right man to get things started. All men interested In assuming managership can get full information as regards organization from Mr. Meyers, Physi cal Education Instructor, whose office is in the Armory or from C. M. Ogborne, Athletic Manager, at 228 West College Avenue. Each team has a quota of eight piayers which shall be composed en tirely of non-fraternity men. Fresh men and sophomores making .their re spective unit teams are excused from regularly assigned gym classes and are only required, to play scheduled games with their respective teams. This excuse Is granted only to those underclassmen who are signed up at the Athletic 'Office for' basketball ms their winter sport. Teams are not limited to such men for their selection of materia], the only requirement for eligibility being that the man live In the unit from which the team is se lected, and that he be a non-fraternity man. Games will be played two evenings a week from eight until nine o’clock. The floor is divided into halves so that two games may be played at tho same time. This condition holds for all except the elimination contests held at the end of the season when the full length of the floor will be used. This year, referees will be picked from capable men In the freshmen and sophomore classes who desire prac tice training'in this work. These men aid "receive gym credit for'refereeing one evening a week and excused from 'regular gym classes. Mr. Meyers will ]flve these men special instruction 'with a view toward developing a num ber of efficient fair men capable of handling a fast, close game of basket ball.

No definite teams have been picked but the men are working hard for places, and it will be difficult to make a selection because of the number of men who are fighting hard. There is a great deal of interest shown among the underclassmen this year in la crosse and where it was difficult in former years to get enough men for a good team, this year there Is enough good material in theifershman class for two teams. At least forty and an equal number of soph omores elected the-sport for physical education this fall. There Is plenty of excellent'material available for a varsity team In the spring, and no doubt after the football season is over a few of the football men will keep in training by playing la crosse. The schedute for next spring will be announced later. PRES.
