'Outhouses' Try for Intramural Trophy

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

With a line weighting 185 pounds already assured, the "Outhouses," an intramural team which consists of upperclassmen not living in Houses, were confident last night that they could "beat any team in the league."

"We plan to take the trophy without much trouble," Richard D. Estes '50, organizer of the team said.

"A mode of revenge" was the way Estes characterized formation of the unit. Apley, Dudley, Claverly, and Little Halls as well as certain Yard dormitories all have representatives on the squad which is ready to show the Houses that they are missing a wealth of football talent.

Twenty More Wanted

Estes, who started last Sunday with just an idea and the ability to knock on doors found 34 men who wanted to play in the intramural league but could not do so because they lived in dormitories. He wants to add 20 more players to the squad to insure the strongest team in the league. With the first game October 8 the "Outhouses" have talent ranging from a 248 pound six-foot-three linesman to several light, but fleet backs.

Practice schedules will not be so strict that students taking laboratory courses cannot be on the team, Estes promised.

The idea of the "Outhouse" team was suggested by Daniel P. Paul '46, proctor suggestion did not however originate with Paul but came to him from Dolph Samborski. Intramural Athletic Director. In past years there have not been a sufficient number of upperclassmen outside of the Houses to field a strong team.
