Sports Directors: Hugh Rhodes. Cecil Beck, and "Pinky" Berryhill. The intramural program at Harding this year saw greater interest than ever before, with approximately 250 students participating. The success of this program may be attributed largely to the work of its directors, Cecil Beck and "Pinky" Berryhill, with occasional help from Hugh Rhodes. Continuing the system that was started last year, points were given to students for each sport played, plus additional points for making the AllStar Team or being on the winning team. At the end of the year, trophies are given to the students having the most points. This helps greatly to increase the interest in intramural sports. There are various other sports which are not played on an intramural.basis, but are nevertheless thoroughly enjoyed by all-such as swimming, golf, and track. These sports help the students at Harding to develop both physically and emotionally.
