INTRODUCTIOH ■ Importance of Intramural Sports .■■jj.i.cs L_, Definition: The term& intramural snorts. has come into prominence in the last forty years, and especially during the last ten. The compositet:word, intramural^ cones from the Latin words intra. meaning within^ and muralis. meaning wall. Hence, intramural means within the wall, - . and when it is combinediwith the word sports > we get the ;: ^ meaning:: sports within the walls. - Intramural sports will refer to;any sports that are played between .groups in a single school only. c Mo interschooiVsports will be included. ; : - :v ■: V.:-r;, ’ ./i .. • v VI- It has also .been generally accepted by writers in the field . - v V -;:v : vVnp;' : V. • ■ r-p,-!'V : v- that intramural sports shall not be compulsory. Development: Athletic sports have become increasingly more popular since their introduction^ and; practically every boy loves to play games. As competition between schools de­ veloped , the necessity of’putting out good teams became more Pv"'vpV:P w. " P;V>V" -p: -P/"--Vpp:;-j i V P • L-.P-:; .; apparent, and participation•in athletics became limited to p P V ■■p.P. Ip , P.vV.CO:'.- .p, ■ ' only the best athletes in school. This left the boys who were not especially good athletes to amuse themselves. The desire for competition that is inherent in most hoys brought forth activity in sports between unclassified groups. The next step was to have challenge games between freshmen and sophomores, and soon this sporadic competition gradually changed to competition among all the classes and other natural group teams. The colleges showed the way in intra­ murals and the high schools followed. Athletics and intra- murals tended to take the place of hazing, police baiting, and town fights that were prevalent during the early nineties. Objectives of Intramural Sports: If intramurals are properly administered, many valuable benefits may be realized. A study of the objectives of intramural sports as advanced by writers in the field will show just what is expected and what is possible of achievement as a result of participation. McCuen proposes the following objectives: "1. To satisfy a senseof competition that seems . to be inherent: in most American boys. Without the intreunural sports praeti- :: cally all boys who are unable to parti­ cipate in so-called varsity teams are deprived of the thrill of representative -;;y ,.;vCCmimtitivev ;SP©rt. ; a - ‘ . y " 2. To establish good health habit programs. 5. To develop permanent recreational habits, r: This w i n help provide for the worthy ; use of leisure time. 4. To teach sportsmanship. This can best be t brought out through practical situations.

  • Rejecting the Zero-Sum Game in Daily Fantasy Sports: a Proposal for Arizona
    REJECTING THE ZERO-SUM GAME IN DAILY FANTASY SPORTS: A PROPOSAL FOR ARIZONA Joshua M. Messick* The daily-fantasy-sports (“DFS”) industry has been on a meteoric rise since its introduction in 2007. Led by market leaders DraftKings and FanDuel, DFS is a multibillion-dollar industry that has taken advantage of the advent of the Internet and the public’s desire for more immediate results. Commercials and advertisements promoting huge payouts in exchange for small entry fees quickly garnered the attention of not only sports fans, but also many top state officials. DFS operators rely on the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (“UIGEA”) to argue that they are operating legally. Although UIGEA exempts fantasy sports from traditional internet-gambling regulation, there is no evidence to suggest that the drafters contemplated DFS. The questionable legality of DFS eventually caught up with the aggressive business models of DraftKings and FanDuel. Now, the DFS industry is backing state-by-state lobbying efforts to resolve the legal uncertainty. Arizona’s Tribal–State Gaming Compact (the “Compact”) further complicates the inquiry into whether DFS constitutes illegal gambling. Historically, Arizona has considered DFS a game of chance and therefore illegal gambling. In 1998, then- Arizona Attorney General Grant Woods opined that fantasy sports participation is illegal gambling. Several recent legislative attempts in Arizona to legalize and regulate DFS have been unsuccessful. The limits on what Native American tribes in Arizona can do are eliminated by a “poison pill” provision in the Compact if the state expands permissible off-reservation gaming. The triggering of the poison pill also significantly reduces tribes’ obligation to share revenue with the state.

Brown1 School of Life Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ 85287, USA ABSTRACT Populations of Gambel’s (Callipepla gambelii), scaled (C. squamata), and Montezuma (Cyrtornyx montezumae) quail in Arizona have fluctuated greatly in the 100 years since statehood as have regulations governing their take. The greatest fluctuations in numbers have been annual, but there is some evidence for a long-term decline in the numbers of all species. Quail hunt success has declined significantly since 1962 according to both check station information (r2 ¼ 0.27; P,0.0001) and hunt questionnaire data (r2 ¼ 0.35; P,0.001). Past attempts to improve or stabilize quail populations through bag limit and season adjustments have failed to impact quail numbers.

  • Arizona's Spectacular Sports
    Arizona’s Spectacular Sports From football to auto racing, Arizona is a sports playground Looking for a sports lover’s dream? You’d be hard-pressed to find a better location than Arizona, regular-season home to four major league teams, Spring Training baseball, record-breaking professional golf tournaments, three college football bowl games, four major NCAA universities, the 2015 Super Bowl, the 2015 NFL Pro Bowl, the 2016 College Football Playoff Championship Game and the 2017 NCAA Men’s Basketball Final Four. Arizona continues to prove itself as a sports destination and has been named as the chosen location for the 2023 Super Bowl and the 2024 Final Four. The Big Four When the Arizona Diamondbacks arrived on the scene in 1998, Phoenix joined the exclusive club of U.S. metropolitan areas with professional baseball, basketball, football and hockey franchises. Currently, there are just 13 such communities in America that can make that claim. Baseball Arizona fans fell in love with the National League’s Arizona Diamondbacks right off the bat, and the team’s 2001 World Series win over the New York Yankees still ranks as the most significant professional sports victory in state history. The D-backs’ downtown Phoenix stadium, Chase Field, has become a visitor attraction in itself. Basketball Arizona’s original major league franchise, the Phoenix Suns, started playing in the NBA in 1969 at Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Today, the Suns play at Talking Stick Sports Arena in downtown Phoenix. Football The nation's oldest continuously run NFL franchise (it got its start in 1898 as Morgan Athletic Club in Chicago) – the Arizona Cardinals began playing in Glendale’s State Farm Stadium, (formerly University of Phoenix Stadium) in 2006 after playing for nearly 20 years at Arizona State University’s Sun Devil Stadium when the franchise relocated from St.
