INTERDORMITORY SERIES GOES TO STANDISH HALL

As a result of statistics compiled by the Department of Physical Training, Standish Hall with a total of 25 points, has been declared the winner of the winter championship in the Freshman interdormitory sports competition with Gore Hall two points behind and Smith trailing in last place with 15. The points are awarded as a result of competitions in hockey, track, squash, basketball, and indoor baseball. The number of men in each hall winning their numerals in the regular Freshman sports is also an element in deciding the championship, an element which in this case proved to be the deciding factor in giving the victory to Standish. The winning dormitory in each of these six events secured five points towards their total, the second three, and the third one. In basketball, however, so many men reported that it was necessary to divide them into two sections, and have each division counted as a separate event.

As a result of winning the championship, Standish Hall will have its name engraved under the heading of Winter Sports 1921-1922, on the bronze tablets in each of the three halls and will also receive the small bronze plaque which moves from hall to hall as the winter championship changes from one dormitory to another. The spring interdormitory series will begin soon when competitions between the three start in baseball, rowing, track, tennis, and handball.

According to statistics recently published by the Department of Physical Education, skating and squash were the most popular sports open to Freshmen this winter with a total of 157 and 146 men respectively. The following list, showing the number of men entered in branches of athletics open to members of the class of 1925 as a means of satisfying physical training requirements, is exceptionally large, due not only to the number of Freshmen playing on class teams but also to the fact that a very large proportion of men registered in more than one sport:
