"We're going to make last year's freshman intramural athletic program look like peanuts," Robert B. Ross 3L, assistant secretary of the Union, said yesterday as he announced the appointment of six freshmen to the Yard Athletic Committee.
Following last year's example, the committee will divide the Yard into two or three leagues of approximately eight teams apiece. It will then award points for placing in the various contests, and add up the total to determine the year's winner.
Last year, Hollis finished firs, followed by Matthews South and Thayer Middle. At the close of each season, last year, the winning teams took part in a banquet.
The committee will appoint captains for each entry to act as district representatives. The program will he expanded this year to include touch football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, swimming, and squash.
The athletic program was instituted for the first time last year, under Ross's guidance, to provide a competitive athletic program for the large number of freshmen who do not take part in intercollegiate athletics.
