Sink or Swim
The goal: sink your opponent’s canoe before you get sunk. More than 50 students kicked off Fall Semester at the Intramural Sports Canoe Battleship competition, held twice a year in the Student Life Center. Equipped with a bucket for each player and one shield per boat (no paddles), the teams compete in several 20-minute heats. The last boat afloat wins the grand prize, the coveted intramural sports championship T-shirt (and bragging rights, of course). No experience required—not even swimming, since it’s in the shallow end of the pool. Open to all students willing to have fun!
We knew the canoe battleship in the 1950’s as the battle of lake Steiner located in the Uinta mountains, very cold up there.
