A chaotic game of "Capture the Flag" invaded the Whitworth campus Sept. 21, as the east side of campus defeated the west side 125-85 in an intense game.

The playing field stretched campus wide in the first half, but shrunk to only the Loop in the second half. The winners from the east enjoyed Didiers as a reward for their hard-earned victory.

In the Challenge League for Ultimate Frisbee last week, the Hillbillies squeaked past the Spartans by a score of 11-10. Team B-Rob beat the Bagpipers 16-8 and the Happy Trees took apart the Avengers 18-1. In the Power League for Ultimate Frisbee, MUD, Kamchatka and Mutombo all stayed undefeated. Scores included MUD over Shipoopi 13-6, Square Bears over T.I. Midnight 14-10, the Ninja Turtles falling to Mutombo 12-8 and Kamchatka beating The Royalty 15-7. MUD picked up another win beating T.I. Midnight 11-8 and Mutombo won 10-8 over the Square Bears.

On the soccer field, there were quite a few close games in the Challenge League last week. Germdog and Brother Grimm drew 4-4, Worst Enemies tied 1-1, Wooksack squeaked by the Princesses 4-3 and the Honkers won 7-4 over the Pinecones.

In the Power League, freshmen Straight Thugz took down seniors Vance Refrigeration 3-2. Senior Jeff Rodland, three year intramural player and star for Kamchatka, explained how freshmen impact intramurals so soon.

"Since freshmen often come right out of playing for their high school team where they played sports all year long, they bring a lot of talent to intramurals," Rodland said.

Rodland added that upsets happen because of how recently freshmen have played sports competitively.

"Most seniors haven't played the sport at that kind of competitive level for a few years," Rodland said.

Other scores in the Power League included the Ninja Turtles beating the Peace Keepers 11-0 and the Average Joes taking down the 007 Mafia 14-5.
