Seniors, Sophs Head Intramural Team
According to a vote of the class
intramural captains and the boil-
ing down of the intramural direc-
tor and the sports editor of the
RAMBLER, three seniors and
three sophomores made the all-
intramural football team for the
1952 season.
Besides the six sophs and seniors
there were two freshmen and one
junior. The seniors are Luther
Burleson and Jim Seago at ends
<#nd Bill Holland iij^the backfield.
The sophomores are Bill Mat-
thews, back; Gerry Bronson,
guard, and Buz Hudgins, center.
The freshmen are Hayden Ed-
wards Jr., guard and Jimmy
Brown, back. The junior that made
the all-intra team is Bill Brey in
the backfield.
The boys that made the team
were chosen by Gerald Baum,
senior captain; Jerrell Newton,
junior captain; J. C. Nichols,
sophomore captain, and Jimmy
Brown, freshman captain. The
captains were not allowed to vote
for a player on their ,-own team
although they probably would not
have done so if they were permit-
ted to. Intramural director Pat
Simmons and RAMBLER sports
editor, B&fe Hudgins, tallietj the
votes.
There were also throe seniors
and three sophomores who re-
ceived honorable mention as a
close second team. Three juniors,
in this case, also made honorable
mention. The seniors are Jimmy
Coontz, back, and Ralph Robinson
and Dale Howard, guards. The
sophomores are John Stevenson
and Law Stokes in the backfield
and Gene Boeuner on an end. The
juniors are Joe Lindsey, back;
Tom Brockett, end, and Charles
Deason at center.
There were some players that
might have made the team had
they not been the "unsung heroes"
in the line. To them go the sat-
isfaction of having gotten to play
and the personal knowledge of
having played the best they could.
Remember in all the intramural
sports this year to play the best
that you can because in each case
there will be an all-intramural
team chosen.

Many Well-Played Games
Highlight 'Mural Football
Looking back over the year's
intramural football season we see
many well played games. The
freshmen although finishing in the
fourth position had a small but
determined team, and a hard
charging line which dealt misery
to their opponents. They consisted
of Hayden Edwards, Jr., Charles
Martindale, Randall Fincher, Paul
Hood, and Burl Short. The fast
but light backfield were Alvin Bar-
ker, Charles Redmond, Barry I^ees,
Jimmy Brown, and Kay Kramer.
The end% of the fish Gene Puma,
Delbert Taylor, Don Renshaw, and
Dan Allen are certainly not to be
left out. They were, outstanding
not'only on offense but as "well on
defense.
Probably one of the best intra-
mural football teams in the past
years was the sophomores with a
hard charging line consisting of
Ray Tims, Billy Portwood, Tommy
Riley, Buz Hudgins, J. C. Nichols,
John Ed Francis, Gerry Bronson.
The superb passing and running of
the sophomoites baSkfield led them
to a tie for first place with the
seniors. This backfield Was com-
posed of Don Vassey, Bill Mat-
thews, John Stevenson, and Irl
Holt with Buz Hudgins alternat-
ing at intervals. The magnetic
ends responsible for a considerable
number of points were Gene
Boettner, David Latham, Tony
Hernandez, and Nolan Agee.
The juniors while winning sec-
ond place also had a championship
team with a remarkable line both
on defense and offense. The line
included the following. Wayne
Huddleston, Charlie Deason, Bill
Walker, and others. The juniors,
like the fish, had a hard time mus-
tering a full team. The accurate
passing and dazzling running is
accredited to backfield men, Bill
Brey, Joe Lindsey, and Jack Dem-
etruk. Snagging short and long
passes were the ends Tom •Brock-
ett and Kendall Bond, who were
also a great benefactor ■ ,,to the,
powerful Junior line. 'r
At last, but surely not the least
was the large senior' team, under
the management of Gerald Baum,
which played remarkable games of
catch-ijp to tie the sophs for first
place. Responsible for this was the
heavy line consitsing of Doug Har-
ris, Dale Howard, Ralph Robinson,
Gerald Baum, Donald Holt, and
Ralph Stafford. The backfield and
ends equally matched the linemen
on offense and defense. Compos-
ing the backfield were Bill Lee,
James Cole, Bill Holland and Bob
Holbrook. * The ends were Luther
^Burleson, Richard Anderson, and
Jim Seago. .gt
Any Group or Organization May Enter

the campus may enter the co-edu-
cational volley ball singles elimi-

Tennis Gives Way
To-Other Sports
Results of the girls physical ed-
ucation classes find the sport of
tennis slowly giving way to that
of volleyball and badminton which
is to begin very shortly according
to Miss Catharine Wakefield,, head
of girl's p.' e. department. All
girls who are interested in these
sports should contact Miss Wake-
field soon for further information.
Boy's p. e. classes under Dan
Hart, physical education director,
are playing the sport of "^basket*®
ball because of the lack of facili-
ties of playing room for softball
and football. In the immediate
future bo^'s volleyball will begin
in the p. e. classes, although in-
tramural volleyball will not be
started until next semester.
Coach Hart's assistants consist
of the following, Luther Burleson,
and Gene Kruger. directors of p.
e. 121; Radford Gregg, Tommy
Riley, and J. C. Nichols of p. e. j
111.
For other information concern-
ing volleyball get in touch with
your p. e. instructors.
