No shortage of pool sharks at Princeton

Colonial Club will host the annual Intramural Billiards Tournament tonight at 9:30 p.m., with "Intramural Champion" t-shirts awarded to the winners of both the men's and women's divisions and points awarded to intramural teams based on numbers of participants.The tournament will bring some of Princeton's finest pool players out of the woodwork, allowing them the chance to test themselves against each other and lay claim to a place among the sport's on-campus elite.The University-wide event will be a welcome change for students accustomed to playing billiards primarily at the local level at their residential colleges or eating clubs rather than in an organized tournament setting.While pool tables can be found scattered throughout the entire Princeton campus, the quality and quantity of competition varies.At eating clubs, pool tables are often an integral part of the social scene and a reflection of student priorities.
