INTRA MURALS

AT the beginning of each year, a- new manager of intramural sports, usually a senior is appointed by Mr. Pollman.  The senior manager in turn appoints underclassman.  It is only the senior manager, however, who is awarded a letter.  The senior manager was Harry Shertinger this year.

Some of the intramural sports offered last fall were: deck tennis, volleyball, shuffle-board, and handball.  Two leagues, the junior and senior leagues, were made in basketball, in which junior and senior home rooms could enter, and the freshman and sophomore league, in which freshman and sophomore home rooms entered.  The cagers on the teams were required to be scholastically eligible for play, the home room teachers deciding if a person was able to play or not.  The teams engaged in round robin tournaments, and in the junior and senior league, Mr. Hartman's home room on the championship, with Miss Gottshall's team capturing the freshman and sophomore league title.  These two teams were awarded a handsome trophy for their fine, accomplishments.

The large foul shooting contest that was open to anyone was held after the basketball season closed. - From the more-than-two-hundred and fifty students who participated in the event, ten boys met in the finals, to have Warren Densmore emerge victorious with twenty-nine fouls made out of forty tried.

On February 10, 1935, was held Fathers' Night, when fathers of boys at DeVilbiss were shown what is being done athletically at school.  Tumbling, handball, deck tennis, boxing, wrestling, shuffle-board, Freshmen gym classes and a basketball game, with the Senior Hi-Y and Mr. Hartman's home room team, were most of the gymnastics which were shown.

Next, an intramural boxing tournament was held at school during home room period in which the boys were divided up into classes, according to their weight.  A five-cent admission fee entitled students to witness the tournament, and many students took advantage of the offer.

A program for spring athletics is now being mapped out by Manager Shertinger, in which any individual may take part.  All students may enter the intramural athletics in that he is not a participant in the particular event in which he might choose to enter.

The DeVilbiss high school tennis courts are free to DeVilbiss students providing they play during their gym classes; however, outside of school hours, the courts are available for the nominal fee of ten cents per person per hour.  A supervisor attends to the care of the courts at all times and they are kept in good condition.  Last fall a mixed doubles' tournament was held for all students in DeVilbiss in which many students took part.  A similar event is planned for this spring, in case the courts will be ready.  Of course there is no fee charged for the tournament as it's promoted by school officials.  Member-, of the DeVilbiss varsity tennis team are not eligible for the school tournaments conducted by the intramural department.  The tennis team has its inter-school matches on the court-, also.

The DeVilbiss high school fencing team under the tutelage of Mr. Pasquier, had quite a successful team this last year.

During the first semester, the Tiger fencers defeated the University of Toledo fencing team, the Knights of Columbus team, and the Academy of Monroe, and the Michigan team.  The ,latter match was the hardest fought of the four, with the score being 13-12.  The Oberlin College and the University of New York invited the DeVilbiss fencing team to matches.  Those on the team are Dick Wageman, Captain; Bill Bryan, assistant captain; George Clay, Bob MacIntyre, and Crosby Keller.

Each team selects an intramural athletic manager, who has charge of entering a team in the leagues and hands the senior intramural manager an eligibility list of players on his team

VARSITY BASKETBALL

THE DeVilbiss Tigers won a city title in a major sport for the first time when a city championship in basketball was annexed by them in the season just passed, with eight victories and two losses.

1. Waite:

Waite was decisively beaten in two frays with the Tigers, 29 to 14, and 46 to 29.  The Waite basketeers were not able to break through DeVilbiss's defense in either game consequently, both contests were rough and many fouls were claled.

2. Woodward:

DeVilbiss won a game and lost one from Woodward, losing the first, 28 to 21, and winning the second contest, 23 to 19.  The Woodward defeat was one of the two setbacks suffered by the Tigers this season.

3. Libbey:

Libbey was defeated in two games by the Tigers, 34 to 22, and 36 to 12.  Libbey was unfortunate in not winning a game during the season, and as it was a weak team, a large number of Tiger reserves played in the contests.

4. Central:

It was just too bad for Central when it met DeVilbiss, for the Tigers came out on the long

end of 34 to 17 and 33 to 20 scores in both struggles.  The city champion DeVilbiss quintet was crowned with the second victory over Central.

5. Scott:

Scott evened matters with DeVilbiss when it defeated DeVilbiss 31 to 24, after a loss at the hands of the Tigers, 25 to 23.  The Scott setback was the second that took place this season.

6. SL John's:

The Tigers won a game from St. John's cagers in a non-league contest, 29 to 22.  The game was won in the last three minutes, as Martin scored ten points and Rae 11.
