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.

tor Joel Meier, said

is getting away from us."
"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.
