THE THBSSBEB
In Eclipse
By Tiny Appling
Amid much weeping, walling, and moaning, intramural bas-
keteers completed first round play this week with two lopsided
routs and a hairline thriller. Rally Club I was forced to call on all
resources to beat a hustling Engineer I team 19 to 14. In the sec-
ond game of the day the All-Stars, featuring Sid Nachalas with
nineteen points, bowled over an outclassed Feathered Flock 36 to 9,
Pre-Laws Overwhelmed
In the final unci in many ways the
feature name th*t Pre-Lawa found a
knowledge of Bays' Cases no asset
ami amid the aforementioned bowed
<>ut to a West Hail team that would
not'.be lobbied, 5<t to 8. The Hallers
featured a fast breqk that saw "Big
Noise." Itumiels, .lack Rodgers, and
linger Si^iith pilu up forty points on
i hen combined efforts, The Pro-Laws
featured- strength conservation and
.•.iiitralleil tbe ball well. On being eon-
