Now that we are free to resume our activities. I. M. sports once again leap to the ioreiront of campus thought. The last sport to be contested was badminton which was held just before Christmas. Brent Dubach supplanted Phil Woodward as the singles champion While a team from Smith took the doubles trophy. Dibble took first handily to become the first hall this year to capture two team trophies. Basketball now moves to the center stage and the season promises to be one of the most bitterly contested in recent history (but, at the same time, in the spirit of goodwill and gamesman- Ihi ).

GOLFERS JUDGED. 0N CLOSED CIRCUIT By ADRIENNE LEMMONS Grinneil's golfers are on television. Closed—circuit, that is. Coach Edd Bowers, using videotape experimentally as a teaching device, found it effective in showing students what's wrong (or right) with their teeing techniques. “In football coaching, television tapes are more economical than the movies currently in use,” Bowers said. When movies outlive their usefulness, he added, nothing can be done with the old film. TV tapes, on the other hand, can be erased and reused, he said. The TV equipment, which includes a camera and a monitor set, was lent to Bowers by Ray Slanderwick. a 1952 alumnus who played iontball and basketball under coach John A. Ptitsch. Standerwick, now living in Grinnell, sells classroom furnish— Lngs, including television sets designed for educational use. Bowers was not fully satisfied with the equipment models be used Though he obtained “excellent” results using it with his golf class, he found that football pictures were somewhat unclear. “Besides," he said, he was unable “to replay the tapes in slow motion, and this proved to be a major drawback." Bowers is keeping his eyes open for improvements which will provide clearer photographs and enable him to use slow motion. Such a machine, he said, would cost about $2500, while the one he now uses sells for around $1500. it might be a good idea, he suggested, for the college to boy its own closed-Circuit. Available on a school-wide basis, it could be useful in several other departments in addition to athletics, Bowers said ”There will always be the problem, of course, of athletes who would rather be TV comedians,” stated the Grinnell coach. "Instead at concentrating on their swings or their passes, some will prefer to clown for the beneiit of whoever might be watch- Ing.” But videotape, at least, can always be erasedl he concluded.
