Half of Men Participate In Intramural
Despite limited facilities, KU has a flourishing intramurals program, a program that is as old as the University itself.
Last year about 2,700 men, or nearly half of the male students, participated in some form of intramurals. Peak participation was reached during the basketball season when more than 1,500 players and more than 125 teams played in cramped Robinson Gymnasium and its annex.
MAJOR SPORTS offered in the intramurals program are touch football, basketball, volleyball, and softball. Popular individual sports in the program offered different times throughout the year are tennis, basketball, horseshoes, golf and handball.
Details for joining and forming teams for the touch football competition will be announced soon in a letter to campus living groups.
Beta Theta Pi won the "A" Hill championship last year in touch football, as well as claiming the "B" and "C" crowns.
WALTER L. MIKOLS, the present intramurals director, looks forward to the time when the intramurals program can be expanded. He feels the construction of a new gymnasium is the key to future expansion.
A new Robinson Gym is one of the priority projects in the KU master building plan, but money has not yet been appropriated for its construction.
Mikols has been director of the program since 1952.
The first form of intramurals were football games involving traditional rivalries, such as the Law School-Medic rivalry. This game was played at every homecoming until it became part of the regular intramurals program in 1932.

This is just one area to be explored in a series of articles on "Physical Fitness and KU"—beginning Monday, Sept. 16, in the sports pages of the Daily Kansan.
