Is Old Nassau making a gridiron comeback? If so, it's all
due to Charlie Caldwell, the coach who engineered the most
hair-raising form reversal of 1946. His 17-14 victory over Penn
last fall restored the Tigers to respectability in Eastern football
society. Known for trying the unorthodox, he has parlayed the
power of prayer into the greatest revival of football enthusiasm
ever seen at Princeton since the game was invented there in
1869. Don't miss the exciting article, "They Weep No More at
Princeton." in this week's Post . . .

Stage Bitter
Grid Battles
Four bitterly contested intra
mural football games were played
on the Coliseum grounds Tuesday
night as all teams began to hit
there mid-season peak. Delta Tau
Delta showed the strongest of
fense with Jim Sharp pitching his
mates to a four touchdowns and
a 27-0 win over a hard fighting
but outclassed Tionecr Co-Op
team.
The Delts showed plenty of
speed in all departments coupled
with some classy blocking when
it was needed.
In a little closer contest Phi
Kappa Psi shook loose from a
strong Brown Palace outfit to
come out on top 13-0.
With Tom Donahoe passing to
Whenke and Neidfelt for touch
downs the Sigma Chi men took a
13-7 verdict from a scrappy Kappa
Sig team. Kappa Sigma escaped
shut out by scoring on the last
play of the game on a two yard
pass play.
Delta Upsilon kept her slate
clean by pulling out a 16-2 victory
over fheta Xi. The DUs were
held to even terms until midway
in the second half before they
