To Prominence Club sports are one of the new additions to Harding's sports program. Returning to prominence after taking a backseat to intramural athletics for several years, club contests proved to be one of the most popular forms of recreation during 1956-57. The real importance of athletic tournaments is to create a greater spirit within the clubs themselves and build more understanding between boys social clubs. Softball initiated the school year in club competition with Sub-Ts edging out the Sigma Tau Sigma club and Mohicans in close contests. Ragball also went in favor of the shipmen, but not until after a hair-raising game with the Sigma Taus which ended 18-13 in favor of the Sub-Ts.
