Intramural Sports Provide
Athletics For All Students
Fraternities, Clubs, Units Compete For Hon - ors
In Wide Variety of Tournaments
For the benefit of the majority of
students at Penn. State, who are un
:able to meet the requirements for
varsity competition, an extensive sys
tem of intramural athletics has been
developed by Hugo Bezdek, director
. of athletics.
The program intrudes all sports
represented in intercollegiate compe
tition, in addition to some not in
cluded on varsity schedules. Frater
nities, clubs, and non-fraternity units
compete for honors in tournaments
which are conducted in each sport.
The tourneys are directed by exper
ienced coaches and instructors and
although it is not the primary pur
pose of the plan, quite frequently val . -
liable material for varsity teams is
discovered.
During the past year the frater
nities have cooperated in delaying
the dinner hour from 5:30 o'clock un- til 6 o'clock,- and the majority of
classes have teen eliminated from
between 4 'and 5 o'clock in the after
noon. These two improvements have
made possible a full two-hour' period
for recreation- and all-students ath
letics.
The increased participation of stu
dents shows evidence that intramur
al athletics at the College ,is growing
steadily in• importance:
Forty-eight teams took part in the

Much Work
Student athletic managers at Penn
State are elected under a competitive
system' whereby 'candidates begi n .
their quests for . the managerships in
their freshman or' sophomore years
and gradually advance - to positions of
'greater responsibility.
Football offers the opportunity for
a- new student to begin his campaign
for a sport managership. Early in
the Fall a call is- issued' for freshmen
"third assistant" managers and those
who enter the competition are put to
work taking care of football equip
ment and performing many duties on
the gridiron and in the gymnasium.
In this- manner freshmen are given
an opportunity to make early Ike
quaintance with a large number of
students.
After football season the freshmen
who have remained in the competition
are officially known as "second as

The schedule makers have again
confronted Head Coach Robert Hig
gins with a discouraging prospect.
Although last season's varsity line is
back almost intact, and at least four
backs have had considerable experi
ence, the schedule is the toughest a
Lion team has had to face in years.
Last season the' Lions won' . three out

year. The first of these exceptions
comes as the second titl of the season

Of the eight games that the Lions
will play, preseason indications are
that they-will win two and lose five;
Penn should again be a toss-up.
