Hashing is played by a group of 15-20 people every other Sunday here in Columbia. TTie group is led by Vernon Bowen, the Grand Master of the Columbia Hash House Harriers. Bowen said Hashing is a version of an English game called Hares and Hounds. An Australian officer named A.S. Gispert started the game of Hashing in 1938 while staIntramurals off By PAUL ELAM Staff Writer One of the best ways to spend your free time this fall is participating in intramural sports. Last year USC sponsored more than 110 intramural teams and with more than a 1,000 students participating. There are 32 intramural sports to choose from, ranging from innertube water polo to basketball. Teams compete all semester to find the top team of each sport at each level. Herbert CamD. director of intra mural sports, said participation in intramural sports is a good way for new students to make new friends and spend their frpp time.

Gispert sometimes drank too much on the weekends at a local pub. Later, he and his fellow officers would go running in the public park to sweat off what they drank. The run finished at a pub called the Hash House where the officers would drink back what they sweat off. The officers eventually became bored with their run through the park. But then the owner of the Hash House started following them on their run with a truck full of beer. The current game starts with two V^l 1W1VUUV/11, V "Everyone is encouraged to come out and participate regardless of skill. We have A levels for advanced players, B levels for intermediate players, and C levels for beginners. Almost 75 percent of the players at USC participate in B level competition," Camp said. Many students who participate in intramural competition are sponsored by fraternities, sororities, or residence halls. Students also often get groups of their friends together and form their own teams. "It's not necessary to be sponsored by a club to compete. New students are often placed on teams by the intramural office on teams," Camp said. I A A ' raternity 30 - Septe T k i Ifl ?
