INTERUNIT SPURTS
EXTENSIVE HERE
Provide Athletic Training For
Those Lacking Varsity
Team Calibre
To provide .athletic training for the
' majority of students at Penn State
who are not quite an to varsity team
standards, an extensive intramural
athletic system has been built up by
;Hugo .Bezdek, director of athletics.
Practically every sport represented
in the intercollegiate competition 'has '
its counterpart in interfraternity, in
terclub, and interunit tournaments.
These 'tourneys are under the direc
tion of experienced coaches and Ire.i
ryuently valuable material is uncov-;
erect for the varsity teams .although;
that is not the primary purpose .of
tramural sports at Penn State
Plans have been underway for elim
inating as much' as possible the class'
'period from 4 to 5 o'clock 'in the af
ternoon and for setting the dinner
hour of fraternities at G. o'clock in
stead of the present 5:30 o'clock cus
tom. By effecting improvements in
these two ways an uninterrupted two
hour period for all-student • athletics
would be made Possible.
Many Students Compete
Evidence of the increasing import
ance of intramural athletics is shown
in the widespread participation of the
students. Fifty-seven groups; repre
senting 853 student participants, en
gaged in intramural football .to make
that sport the most popular in the
Fall season. Cross-countryand horse
shoes swelled the total for...that sea
son to 1,075 students in active com-1
petition.
Sixty teams competed in the bas
ketball tourney and individual cham-;
pions were crowned in ,boxing and :
wrestling. In addition 'to the major ;
sports, intramural handball and vol-'
leyball were held ,in the winter .on
son. More than .sixty -students
peted in the former tourney wnoc ; i
three times as many entered the lat-,
ter competition.
Tournaments run off in the Spring
included horseshoes, tennis, golf, soc-,
cer, track, and lacrosse. Football ;
for those who desired to learn the
fundamentals of the was .also
a feature of the. Spring competition.
Control of the intramural' athletic'
affzirs .of the College is in the hands
of a student sports .council selected
each .year. A general manager is
named by this group : es. well as sep
arate managers for each of three sea
,sonl divisions. Responsibility ' , for -the
competitions in each' sation falls on
.the manager of that division.

Hiking Routes Abound
In Nearby Mountains
Town Reservoir at S
Favorite Retre
Because mountains lie within four.
miles .of. State College on the south
and east and within saven on the
north, students are afforded unusual
facilities for spending their leisure
time in hiking and outdoor recreation.
For the casual hiker the most pop
ular mountain retreat is Shingletown
Gap, in the mountains south of town.
The. roservoir on which State College
relies for part of its water supply is
located there. Deriving its name from
the town situated below it, Shingle-
town Gap is one of three, convenient
for hiking purposes in the first range
of the Seven Mountains. By climbing
the sides of the gap, excellent views
can be seen of State- College, lying in
the Nittany Valley which =tends to
the Bald E'agle range on *he north.
If the road which passes the rcE.r
voir at Shingletown is .followed for
about three miles, Bald Knob will be
reached. It ,is a treeless, steep mound
Lain which reaches 2,:300 feet in neight
and affords a view of the surrounding
mountains and country. Descent can
be made from its tap into Bnalsburg
;which is six miles from State College
by State road.
Bear Meadows Unique
Musser's Gap lies to the ,:est of
Shingletown. From it a trail leads
between the first awl ceeond moun
tain to Shingletown or the gap can
be reached by following the top of the
first mountain.
,One .of tha most interesting long
hikes is into Bear Meadows, a swampy
region in the valley of the fourth
ridge of the mountains to the south.
State' College. It is formed where'
the northern side oethe ridge curves
into a saucer shape. In the Meadows,
grow many rare plants and animals.
Twelve miles from State College the
Meadows are reached by passing
through Wright's Gap to the east of ,
Shingletown. Fonr miles beyond. the ,
Meadows is situated the Nature Study 1:
camp which is operated by that- de
partment of the College during the 1 ,
summer months. A short distance!
farther is the Alan Seeger memorial
which constitutes practically a virgin
stand of forest trees.
