Description
Leo Deutsch
Intramural Sports
Any time of the day or night you will
probably find Leo Deutsch, intramural
director, rushing around the St. Ambrose campus keeping tab of the sports
program which he inaugurated at St.
Ambrose in 1947.
Deutsch, who is also line coach in
football, first set up an intramural program at St. Rita's high school in Chicago and in six years as director Leo
had one of the finest sports programs
in the Chicago district. Deutsch believes that "every student should be
given a chance to participate in some
form of competitive athletics while in
school. In this way," he continues, "the
students become better acquainted with
one another and physical benefits are
received through participation in the
program."
Starting from scratch in 1947, the St.
Ambrose sports program is gaining
momentum each year and at the present time over 700 students are participating in intramurais. Basketball holds
the No. 1 spot in popularity with over
360 students participating. Softball rates
second with over 200 participants and
is followed by volleyball with 160 competitors. Other sports which have widespread interest are: bowling, swimming,
water polo, ping pong singles and doubles, golf, and tennis. Director Deutsch
