Editor's Note This is the second in a he-part series on the U n i v e r s 1 1 y ' s in tramural department. by Mark Gordon Sports Editor Intramural basketball and softball are faced with the same ill that plagues the en tire University intramural program a lack of playing space. Basketball, with more teams than any other activity, and softball. with nearly 100 teams, both need more room quickly or the program will suffer serious curtailments. University intramural direc tor Joel Meier, said RASKETBALL has seen a rapid jump in teams as .iust I four years ago. n teams' participated while last vear 1OT squads were entered This! winter Meier estimates! hetwpen 170 and ISO teams will be entered in the pro-1 I from ! !

"We needed four more courts five years ago," Meier said. '"We have so many teams in basketball that we can't offer any other ac tivities during the basketball season." He said a limited volleyball tournament is held after basketball season and a small badminton tourney is staged in the spring. But during the basketball season the Men's Physical Education Building is only open from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. daily for recreational and free-play "WE'RE r LAYING o n every available court Monday inrougn rriaay, the in tramural director said, "so the only times teams can really practice is on Saturdays and Sundays." With space at a premium, games must be scheduled as late as 9:30 p.m. during week days, which Meier said is too late to begin intramural games. The department currently has six courts available for daily use two each at the Men's Physical Education Building and at the Coliseum, and one court at both the East Campus Union and University High School. The Men's P.E. Building and the University High School gymnasium are both available for intramural games from 5 to 10:30 nightly. The Coliseum is open from 6 until 10:30 p.m., and the East Campus Union gym nasium can be used three days a week from 5 until 10:30 p.m. "This year with t h e University High gym open a little longer, we will have ad ditional time to put in one game more a- nigh! there," Meier said. ' But we still have to look to the future for ex pansion." Softball has already been hampered with a cutback in games since the four East campus diamonds are pressed to the ultimate limit, he said. LAST SEASON the in tramural department was forced to schedule softball as a single elimination tourney rather than a double elimination process which had been used previously for years. j "We completely outgrew j the program last year: and i even with the single elimina- i tion, we were barely able to complete the season before the semester ended," he said. Since the softball program is probably shorter on playing fields than any other intramural activity, Meier said eight lighted fields would adequately allow the softball program to be expanded into a football type setup. "Then ue could play in leagues like football does with seven -or eight teams." he said. He added that fast-pitch softball could probably also be scheduled if additional fields with lights could be in stalled. He said it i s anticipated that three lighted softball fields will be installed on the recreational area behind Abel Hall on Vine Street in the near future. "WE WOULD have never been able to offer softball or football if it hadn't been for the increased light we had the past two years with the extra daylight hours," he added. He said when several loca tions are scheduled to hol:l games, a supervisor must be hired to attend all games. Th department lacks both the revenue and the manpower to provide a supervisor a t several locations.

He said the exhibition and fl'nic is being held to raise m-viey to buy frod for starv ing Biafrans who are dying from starvation at an estimated 8.000 persons daily. The events will be held at the University tennis courts between the Coliseum and Men's Physical Education building at 3:30 p.m. The program, held in con junction with the University campaign drive to keep Biafrans alive, will help beginners as well as polished veteran tennis players, Roberts said. will feature Roberts against n,i0rp courts, we won't be able William Roehrs. top-ranked to offer this kind of program plaver on the University ten- for many more years." he nis squad. said "The number of teams 'Bte Ten' pigskin ANYTIME IS POPCORN TIME!
