March 17. He sai d, "We'll be better than last year. Metro is something of a mystery, bu t Bu rke and Northwest definitely have to be co ns idered for that, but I really do n't know what's going to happen at the meet. " Weat he r has also had a major impact on practice for girls ' t rack . Accord ing to Mr. Do n Glasgow, coach , practice for th e discus has been the most seri o usly affected .

Glasgow feels that although the team appears to have no "superstars at th is po int, many of the girls are doing really well. " Increased competition and further instruction on technique should help th e girls' performances, accord ing to Glasgow . He feels that Joan Learch in the sprints and Joann Wetterberg in the hurdl es will be strong . He added , " Judy Burke, in the high jump, has really made a lot of prog ress and she'll be rea lly tough this year,"

Pre-season predictions for conference champions were correct as The Wartz and The Sky King met in the intramural basketball finals . Also as predicted The Wartz won the contest. One surprise though was the margin of victory. The Wartz had to make a strong comeback to pull out a two point victory. Two of the Sky Kings' top players Bruce Kruger and Jon Skoog both fouled out late on disputed calls. Along with the team title The Wartz also placed three individuals in the final top ten scorers. The top ten went like this: 1.

Mac and Scudder each competed in only three games with the rest competing in over 7. With the intramural basketball season now over a new intramural sport picks up where basketball left off, intramural hockey . Last year hockey was somewhat of a hazzard to play ..With numerous fights breaking out each week , with the referees taking little if any action . "This year there will be no contact, we have come too close to having someone seriously injured , when we started intramural hockey we did not mean for that to happen," said Mr. Max Kitzleman intramural hockey director.
They're off. Due to inclement weather Tom Tritsch and Larry Roark are forced to practice
their starts in the hallways after school.
This year fights will be handled differently than they were last year. "If there is a fight they will be kicked out for the day, if they ever fight again they wili be kicked o ut of the league for good, " stated Kitzleman . This year, for a change from last year, some hockey might be played .

Ab ility to quickly improve on basic skil ls w il l be the key factor to the succes s of the baseball team , accordi ng to Mr. Bob Moscrey , coach . Weather conditions have prevented th e team from practicing on the f ield . The park ing lot is temporarily being used fo r this purpose . This situation has slowed the team 's effo rts toward d ef e nsi ve improvem e nt. Moscrey ex pla ined that the prospective players have been concentrating on running and oth er d rills inside the school. Moscrey sa id that 52 boys tried out for th e team, which was later reduced to 38 after th e indoor practice sessions. He est imated that the next cut would take place in approximately one week. He explained that the team will have a different outlook than last year. The pri mary difference this season is the lack of vars ity experience. "We've got a young team with some so phomo res having a chance of making varsity ," said Moscrey. This "you ng team " has created a lack

o f ex pe r ie nce, especially in the pitc hing area , according to Moscrey. "We've got qu ite a void to fill in pi t c hing , par ti ally because of graduation ," he added . Mosc rey explained that no people on the team have experience in pitching . Sen iors Dan Arnold and Craig Ladwig , (the only two returning members from last year's team) primarily play infield and outfield , however they might serve as pitchers th is season .
Moscrey feels that the team may have the potential to improve last year's 8-7-1 record , but a general lack of experience might make this more difficult. He added that an "overall good attitude" will help to make up for this deficiency . The toughest competition in the Omaha area, according to Moscrey will come from Burke, Creighton Prep , and Northwest, teams which have several members with varsity experience .
