All three seniors played in post season charity games, Tierney in the East-West Shrine Game in San Francisco, and Sims and Daykin in another Shrine game in Pontiac, Michigan. Of the three, Sims had the best showing, as he was named the game's Most Valuable Player. Sims, who broke Tech's all-time rushing record, gained 86 yards on the ground, and picked up another 86 yards on pass receptions. He spoke on his performance; "I lined up as the fullback in the I, and played a fair game. It was fun, we won and had a good time, too."

Continued on page 23 Then there would be no reason why Tech can't boast both the highest participation rate and the best overall program in the country. Tech still l acks the outdoor fields to really make it the best, but efficient use of the new facilities goes far toward wiping out this handicap. What it'll take to put the program up there is money and people. The age old complaints about intramurals competition lie with the lack of competent officials and scheduling difficulties. The scheduling problems are partly due to the lack of facilities. A shortage of fields, lanes, and courts forces the overlap of a number of ac­ tivities making it difficult in some instances to play two sports in one quarter. The new building will wipe out this complaint. That leaves the single biggest gripe-officiating. Plenty of recommen­ dations have been bounced around from mandatory eye transplants to compulsorary readings of texts such as Clair Bee's ABC's of Hoop Hysteria. Most suggestions are about this realistic. What's needed is a capable person who can commit enough time to teach would-be Tommy Bell'8 and Ron Luciano's. A one day clinic isn't close to enough. A few more people with the interest and willingness to make the con­ tributions of time and effort are needed to get things in shape. Money to con pen sa te these people could come from higher entry fees and the possible reapportionment of activity fees from other sport clubs to in­ tramurals. After all, intramurals benefit most of the Tech community. It'd be a shame to have a first rate building housing a second rate program. -STEVE KREBS TECH TACKLED Florida State yesterday in the opening round of the Metro Seven tourney.
