Total number of participants in the six House sports was 777, more than 300 more than in the year 1933-34, the previous record. Fall track, an innovation in the intra-mural program, drew 56 men, which more than compensated for the number engaged in House rowing in 1933-34.

Largest proportional jump in number of men in this year's fall program over last year's was in golf. This fall 74 men went out for divot digging, as against 16 last year. Tennis also had a large increase, 243 men being engaged in the net sport this year and only 124 in 1936-37.

Touch football enjoyed a banner season this fall with 147 men participating, 64 more than last year.
