What's in a name? It it's the name of an intramural team, there can be just about anything in it.
coat?
In looking for a team name, players and managers will go to just about any extreme. And some of the names picked verify this. A look at the names of Independent A, B, and C intramural teams will reveal such exotic titles as Clods, Nuggets, Pokes, Cisabs, 1800's, Bad Seeds, 69ers, ASME, Backwoods man. Fig Pluckers, Jacks, ICBM's, Butterballs, Cats, Radicals, Beirhawks, Jim Beams, Blackhawks and Boosers.
A Daily Kansan reporter, in an attempt to bring sanity into this confusion, went looking for explanations of some of these names. Here are the results.
Clods-Mad Magazine, a publication for the college mind, was the originator of this tag. According to the comic book this was an individual who had a corner on the "do no good" market. He was the type who had two left feet and was all thumbs. The team is made
This just goes to prove that it takes imagination nowadays, even if it's just naming an intramural team.
Blackhawks—The comic books also gave birth to this idea. According to team manager Marion Novotny the team took the name of a group of men who are famous for their good deeds. Their members come from different athletic circles. One of their members, Martin Mason, had a 32-point a game average in high school basketball. Another member, Darwin Ashbaugh, averaged better than 20 points a game.
up of freshmen, most of them from Shawnee Mission, who had the habit of calling each other a "stupid clod" whenever they committed a "boo boo" according to team manager Del Weightman.
Fig Pluckers — This is a name which was appropriately "pulled out of the air." It was a group of boys who wanted to get up a team but
ran into a conflict. Most of the players are members of the Law School. Their brother lawyers-to-be had already taken the traditional Law School name of Jim Beam. In order to come up with a different name they "just grabbed" and that's what they got according to manager Chuck Hedges.
Cisabs—This name comes from the devotion of team members to one of their professors. The team, made up of seniors in aeronautical engineering, derived its name from what was termed a "departmental joke" by manager Don Meis. One of their professors is continually stressing basic equations. So in honor of the professor they took basic, turned it around, and had the name of their team.
Chicken Pickers—This was a name a group of students brought with them from their home town about three years ago. What it meant in their home town is not exactly known.
Beirhawks — Sponsored by the Southern Pit. The name is pronounced just like it sounds. No implications of any kind made.
Since the Chicken Pickers took that name three years ago they have won the division championship twice. Last year they were defeated in the finals by the Hookers. This year the Hookers have changed their name to the Cats. The Cats this year have varsity football players Larry Carrier, Jerry Baker and Don Feller. They also have one of KU's past basketball players, Ron Johnston.
