"The status of intercollegiate athletics may be somewhat in doubt but in tramural sports at the University of Minnesota will be continued as long as we have even two men who want to compete in some ac tivity," W. R. Smith, intramural director at Minnesota, declares. Team sports, as usual, are the most popular in intramural, with basketball leading the way. Over 1,000 men are participating in the annual winter tournament which will ultimately lead to the all-university finals and championship scheduled for March 4, the night of the yearly intramural carnival. Individual sports such as box ing, wrestling, table tennis, fenc ing and swimming also have a big following at Minnesota and they will come to a climax on March 4. Besides physically developing its own men to aid the war effort, Minnesota, like a number of other universities and colleges, has loaned its athletic facilities to the army and navy. Conditioning classes for the armed service men, who are on the campus for tech nical training, meet at every hour of the day.

Next Tuesday evening should be a busy evening for I-M aspirants with both class "A" and "B" semi final playoffs on the docket. The "A" pairings just released find the Phi Gams pitted against the Kappa Sigs in the opener and the torrid Phi Delta facing the Farm House men in the nightcap. Indications point toward a Phi Delt-Phi Gam championship tussle, but the late performances of both the Farm House and Kappa Sigs, although not as flashy as the fa vorites, give indications that an upset in either game should not be too much of surprise. The Kappa Sigs rose to the oc casion, by running wild during the second half of the championship DU game to dump the favored DU's, while the Farm House, al though in a fairly easy league, gathered enough needed experience in the breather games to play the favored Beta to a standstill in the title game. In class "B" the DU's will face the Phi Delts and the Betas will meet either the ATO's or SAM's. The ATO's who are undefeated must win over the once-defeated Sammies in a Monday night game. If the Sammies win, another game between these two clubs will be required. When SAM Bob Bramson dropped in 15 points against the ZBT's the other night he cinched l-M high scoring honors for the season, y In four games Bramson scored 40 points for an averaae of ten per game. Phi Gam Don Andreson who was recently called to the Army Air Corps ranks next to Bramson wun w points m lour games. If Andreson would have been avail able for the Phi Gam-Delta Sig game, chances are that he would have taken over the number one spot from Bramson. The Phi Gams averaged 30 points per game and the Phi Delts averaged 29 during this season's a regulation l-M game is only 24 minutes in length, you can see that our l-M department can boast of two more-than-a-point-a-minute ball clubs. When the Alpha Sigs beat the Theta Xi's in a basketball game last week it was the first I-M vic tory of any sort for the winners. In three "B" games the ZBT's have scored only 3 points -ovhile their opponents have sent 108 markers through the netting. When the ATO and SAM "B" clubs meet next Monday evening fans will see the two "big" men of the Innocents Society facing each other Mort "Zube" Zuber and George "G. Willie" Abbot. Dr. Elbert K. Fretwell, professor of education at Teachers college. Columbia university, has succeed ed Dr. James E. West as chief scout executive of the Boy Scouts of America. ttiii$ris -- , - - jMHf W.

A. finals by Indiana, and in 1942, they advanced to the quarter finals. Ray Evans, who was named also as an all-America n football player last year, is one of a select few who have made both grid and cage Helm's Foundation a 11-American teams.

George Gast is going to take a swell memory with him when the Iowa State junior goes to the army next month. As a sophomore, Gast dropped a tournament decision to Leon Martin of Iowa Teachers. From that moment on he lived for the time he would even the score. In the dual meet at Cedar Falls in 1942 Martin wrestled heavy weight so they didn't meet. But last Monday night the match fi nally took place and Gast turned in "the greatest match seen in Ames in more than 20 years to de feat the 1942 intercollegiate run nerup in the 175 class. It was the first dual meet loss in Martin's carreer. Probably the finest tribute paid Gast after the match was given by Roy Martin, father of the de feated Panther star: "That was the finest match I've ever seen. I want to shake Cast's hand."
