Intramural Program Offers
Wide Variety Of Sports
Roland, Iowa Fans Honor Thompson; Establish Scholarship
.Many of the incoming freshmen,
both men and women, may have
dreamed of participating in a col
lege sport and wearing the school,
emblem. Although a host of ath
letically inclined students win Ne
braska numerals each hear, there
are many more who never get a
chance or which they dreamed.
If such is the case, then these per
sons, to which this article is di
rected, are coially invited to en
gage in their favorite sport through
the intramural facilities provided
by the Physical Education De
partment of the University.
Headed by Ed Higginbotham of
the P.E. Department the intramur
al program offered by the Uni
versity is regarded as one of the
most extensive in the nation. The
intramural activity offers every
one at least one of his favorite
sports ranging from Touch Foot
ball to Squash to Fly Casting.
The Intramural Sports Program
Is so arranged to offer everyone
in the University a chance to par
ticipate in their favorite sport as
well as some sports which they
might like to engage simply to learn
about them. Along with the intra
mural program the University
provides certain classes through
the facilities of the Physical Edu
cation Department in orde that
person may participate to im
prove their skills in leisure time
sports which will be valuable in
fedult life, as well as providing
greater skills that may be utilized
for greater pleasure and success
in the Intramural activities. These
courses stress the following ac
tivities.
Archery, Badminton, Bait and
Fly Casting, Basketball, Bowling,
Fencing, Golf, Gymnastics, Hand
ball, Squash, Swimming, Track
and Field, Volleyball, Weight Lift
ing, Wrestling.
The Intramural Sports Program

3. Seek to provide a welcome

Gary Thompson
community of Roland announced
the establishment of the Gary
Thompson Scholarship Award.
The occasion was Gary Thomp-
ing its three-time all-state and
Iowa State's Ail-American athlete.
Thompson was All-American in
both basketball and baseball this
past year. More than 2,000 people
jammed the town on that day to
pay personal tribute to the one
tabbed as the "Roland Rocket" by
many sportswriters and casters
all over the cc-untry.
"He was AU-American in every
way," was Roland's description of
the sensational but modest young
ster who brought endless tame to
his home town and college.
The original funds for the es
tablishment of the scholarship
were raised in Roland, but con
tributions to the fund are being
added from all over the state and
nation. Every sports fan in the
state, as well as in the nation,
will be given the opportunity to
contribute to the fund which will
be administered by the Iowa State
Scholarship Committee.
No one in Roland knows just
who suggested the scholarship
idea. Any number of gift sugges
tions were made but all at once
the entire community jelled on
the idea of helping other "Gary
Thompsons go to Iowa State."
Roland will exercise no control
