After a hectic and hotly contested basketball tournament,
a slightly battered Armulite team found itself in the
championship bracket. Probably the strongest teams ever
entered in an Intramural event were present in this
tournament. The semifinals found the El Monte Blues,
Zamas, M. 0. S., D. S. R., Armulites, and Sequoias all
fighting for the crown. The M. 0. S. defeated the Zamas
in a fiercely contested match, which saw the elimination
of the only team of the season that defeated the champions.
D. S. R. was beaten by the Sequoias in one of the fastest
and roughest games this season. As the finals drew near,
there were only three teams left to play for the crown,
the Blues, Armulites, and Sequoias.

The Blues were downed. by Sequoia after a bitter battle,
and this found them facing the Armulites for the championshIp.
The return of Jackie Robinson to the Armulite lineup
boosted their strength considerably. The end of the
game saw the Armulites winners by a lopsided score.
This is the first year the Armulites have entered into
active participation in intramural, and it seems as
if they are destined to be outstanding in future years.
Led by Marvin Wright, the Armulites were easily the
outstanding athletic club of the school. They led the
football race until ruled out, won the basketball trophy
and then came back to win the baseball title in a championship
game with the Zamas. To these two victors in intra-mural
sports was added a second place in track.
