Intramurals

Throughout the season, Calhoun proved its dominance at volleyball, helping to raise Calhoun to third in the Tyng Cup standings. The greatest challenge is still ahead, though, as the volleyball team prepares to meet Harvard.

The champion Trumbull soccer team will also look to topple Harvard's champs. Trumbull won the soccer championship last year, but was denied a match when their Crimson counterparts did not make the trip to New Haven. "We haven't played together as a team in a couple of weeks," Phil Gorman, TC '01, said. "We're pretty good, though."

Yale intramural teams may face an upward climb when they reach Cambridge this weekend. Historically, the host university claims most of the intramural face-off championships. Former competitors looked to humor as a secret weapon."We made fun of them," Alex McCain, CC '00, who faced Harvard last year as a member of the Calhoun coed football team, said. "They took everything a little too seriously."

For some, The Game will take second stage to the IM matchups. Others look forward to a nice relaxing afternoon in Harvard Stadium after trouncing the Cantabs in their IM matches. "I'll be sitting in the stadium cheering for our football team as well," McCain added.
