Kappa Alp By MATT WARD E Sports Editor s b For the second consecutive year A The Gamecock sports section will e rank the top ten men's intramural r basketball teams every Monday. Included in the poll will be teams I from the fraternity, independent, I and residence divisions. The only \ division that will not be ranked is s the Gamecock League since the league is ineligible to win the campus championship. The top ten as of Monday are: (1 ) KAPPA ALPHA After winning the campus i championship Kappa Alpha has i everyone returning from last i year's team. KA is led by 6-3 center Frank Pollock. Pollock, last y ear's most valuable player in intramurals is one of the league's best players. His play in the playoffs, especially against Alpha Phi Alpha in the finals, is one of the key reasons why the KAs are campus champions. Also returning for Kappa Alpha will be John McArthur and David fTcfafann o V\r* fnntinrmoii<Ann ^Okvtuuv Ui iiav tui TfOiu puouiuild. McArthur is an extremely accurate long range shooter while Estefano assists Pollock on the boards. Handling the ball for Kappa Alpha will be Lee Richards, Bryon Kinney and Brant Bahnmuler. Richards and Kinney played last year, with Bahnmuler being the only newcomer on the starting team. One thing KA has in great supply is excellent organization. One man does not win or lose for Kappa Alpha. Their teamwork is the main reason KA is the favorite to defend their campus championship. (2) ALPHA PHI ALPHA Alpha Phi Alpha came within one some ui winning nit; cttmpus championship before losing to Kappa Alpha in the finals in overtime.
