Phi Kappa Psi, Alpha Tau Omega Meet
In Fraternity A Championship Battle
By FRANK SORENSON
Sports Staff Writer
Two giant -killers took to the
field and emerged victorious
Thursday evening as the tem
perature dropped to near-freezing
forcing the participants to
don heavy sweatshirts during
their intramural football playoff
encounters
An underdog Beta Theta Pi B
team proved their might by
downing the favored Delta Tau
Delta B's 14-6 to win the B
league championship and another
trophy for their show case.
THE BETA'S shot to third
Jilace in the B team rankings

Individual, Team
Champs Named
Delta Tau Delta's Bob Serr
was the individual champion and
Sigma Chi captured the team
championship in the final re
cults of the All-University free
throw tournament.
Serr won individual honors by
defeating Jack March of Sigma
Chi in a playoff. Both had com
pleted the final round by dump
ing in 46 out of 50 attempts. A
total of 456 men attempted to
qualify for this year's tourna
ment and 320 participated in ten
tournaments of 32 men each.
OTHER INDIVIDUAL winners
included Bill Nelson, Phi Gam
ma Delta; Bill Wells, Phi Delta
Theta; Bruce Miller, Sigma Phi
Epsilon; Dave McCammon, Sig
ma Phi Epsilon; Kenneth Vosika,
Sigma Chi; Jack Hawkins, Sig
ma Chi; Don Wanek, Sigma Chi;
and Pat Romberg, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon.
The winning Sigma Cbi's piled
Hp a total of 35S pniatg to eas
ily triumph In the team division.
Their nearest rival. Phi Gamma
Delta, was 84 points behind with
266 points. Others high np en
the list included Sigma Phi Ep
silon, 262; Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
124; Beta Theta Pi, 109; Phi
Kappa Psi, 107; and Delta Tan
Delta, 100. Eighteen teams broke
Into the scoring column.
Forty-six free shots was the
best individual mark with seven
participants tied for the dis
tinction. Among the seven men
were Carr Trumbull, Sigma Chi;
Dave Brandon, Sigma Phi Epsi
lon; and Bert Linn, Phi Gamma
Delta as well as champion. Serr,
March, Wells and Nelson.
ons commenced. However, they
set about to prove they were
better than scores showed them
to be.
They started out slowly but
surely by downing a strong ATO
crew 20-J2. They then went on
to tromp the Sigma Chi Juniors
27-6 to set the stage for the
championship encounter with the
front running Delts.
Only two days previous the
Delt Juniors had been ranked
tenth in the all University rat
ings, just to show .how fallicious
comparative scores can be.
THE WINNERS garnered all
their points in the first half
scoring seven markers in each
of the two quarters. The losers
threatened by tallying in the
third, but that was the end of
the scoring for the night.
Phi Kappa Psi and Alpha Tau
Omega set the stage for their A
championship encounter Monday
by downing Sigma Alpha Epsi
lon and Delta Upsilon 26-20 and
12-6 respectively.
In what was the second major
upset of the tournament, the
Tau's ran and passed by the
DU's in a very closely played
game.- - -
. -
THE DU'S, heavy favorites to
go all the way by virtue of past
performances, were just another
team that night, but continually
threatened to wrestle the lead
from the eventual winners. The
losers were off their pace, but it
is very doubtful if they could
have won anyway. The Taus
played almost flawless ball and
cashed in on many DU mis
takes. The winners scored first on a
surprising pass play that put
them in front 6-0. They failed to
convert the extra point and the
score remained the same. The
DU's not out of the game yet,
struck back with a series of
plays that paid off late in the
initial frame with a TD to knot
the count up at 6-alL Their con
version . was knocked down by ,
the Tau secondary and the half
ended at 6-ali.
THE TAUS came raging back
after the rest to score on a se
ries of plays that carried from
their 15 to the paydirt line. The
scoring march was featured by
the passing of Mac Bailey and
Bill Weber. That terminated the
scoring for the evening.
Bailey and Brown along with
Weber starred for the winners
while Captain Tom Tolen and
Bill Harmon led the vanquished.
AN ALERT Sigma Alpha Ep
silon team almost turned the
trick in their nme with the Phi
Psi's but finally fell 26-20.
. The winners trailed at the first
quarter mark 6-7 and again at
the half 13-14. The Sig Alph's
then pushed over their last TD
of the evening to bring the count
to 20-13 which stood until the
final stanza.
The winners then caught fire
and hit paydirt for 13 big points
in the next series of plays to
provide the winning margin.
Bachman and Rankin passed
for two TDs apiece while Bill
McGarry was the individual star
of the game by passing for all
the Sig Alph's markers.
PHI DELTA Phi again ad
vanced in the tournament by
downing Presby House 9-8. The
Phi's scored in the first frame
while holding the Presby's score
less. They then went scoreless
in the second while the losers
were picking up six valuable
markers. Each team scored a
safety in the second half to end
the scoring for the encounter.
In the only other game, the
Ag Jokers pulled somewhat of
an upset by downing the Dental
Juniors by an impressive score
of 31-0.

As Cage Teams View Slates
With all Big Seven basketball
clubs now preparing to open
their 1953-54 seasons, Iowa State
has its woes and Oklahoma its
high hopes as a survey of pre
seasonal power is conducted.
The Cyclones list five return
ing lettermen in forwards Jerry
Davis and Barney Alleman,
guards Dutch Van Cleave and
Larry Wetter, and center Chuck
Duncan. Alleman will report
following the grid season.
COACH CLAYTON -(Chick,)
Sutherland must replace four
seniors from last year's squad,
including 6-8 center Delmar
Diercks, all-Big Seven Cyclone
star who ranks as Iowa State's
greatest scorer in history.
The other graduated letlerrnen
are Sam Long, highest scoring
guard ever to play for Iowa
State, Virg Byerly and Clare
Eussie.
Getting set for a tough sched
ule that includes eight games
against five of last year's col
lege powers picked in the first
ten of the national United Press
poll, Oklahoma began basketball
practice with three returning
regulars.
Coach Bruce Drake, starting
his 16th season at OU will re
turn nine lettermen. And he'll
need them all while playing the
difficult December slate that
finds Oklahoma meeting Illinois,
Ohio State and Wisconsin of the
Big Ten Conference, Oklahoma
A&M of the Missouri Valley, and
Washington of the Pacific Coast
League.

should be formidable next month
in both the mile relay and the
40 yards of the Sugar Bowi
meet at New Orleans, -
Coach John Jacobs' junior
speedster blazed the 500 in 55.8
seconds, two-tenths better than
the world mark of 56.1 set ten
years ago by Cliff Bourland of
California.
MAS 'IB TEN BROKE the string
35 yards ahead of three compet
itors. Three watches caught him.
He wasn't paced but ran prac
tically alone around two full
curves, turning the 220 in 22-5
seconds and the 440 in 48.4 on
his way.
At New Orleans, Matbbura will
probably run the open 440, then
come back and anchor Jacobs'
Sooner mile relayists who have
won that event or its 1,600-meter
equivalent three years in a row
. ml the Sugar BowL
Coach Drake will have
full-time assistant coach for the
first time in three years. John
Grayson, coach at Nebraska
Wesieyan University the last two
seasons, will help Drake.
Big Seven rules delayed the
start of Sooner drills until Nov.
1 although some of Oklahoma's
non-conierence foes have been
practicing for nearly a month so
the Sooner hoopsters are eager
to hit the court.
OKLAHOMA LOST two let
termen from her squad of last
year that tied for fourth in &
Seven scoring. They were Cen
ter Tom Churchill and Forward
Ronnie Dwyer.
The nine returning lettermen
are Ron Blue, Larry Hamilton,
Lynn Hart, Sterling Jones, Lesr
ter Lane, Dink McEachern, Wal
ter Morrison, Jerry Newman and
Bob Waller. Sam Thompson, a
1953 squad man, also returns.
Oklahoma's average height this
year will be 6-24 and the av
erage weight 177 pounds.

As generally expected, there
was again plenty of excitement,
the usual share of upsets and a
few surprises as well as disap
pointments in Saturday's college
football action. Many of the
teams ran into a flurry of bad
weather as snow and near-
freezing temperatures made its
initial appearance on numerous
gridirons.
Close to home, the monopoliz
ing Oklahoma Sooners nearly
got their long Big Seven win
ning streak snapped before a
fourth - quarter touchdown by
Larry Grigg gave Bud Wilkin
son's clan a 14-7 squeak past
Missouri. As it was, Oklahoma
stretched their streak to 39
games and continued to roll
merrily along to their sixth
straight Big Seven title. .
Bill Meek's Kansas State
Wildcats pushed Kansas all over
the field at Lawrence, but got
only one touchdown to win by a
7-0 margin. Very! Switzer was
the individual standout in the
game of fumbles that was due
largely to a wet snow that fell
throughout the game.
NEBRASKA WON their sec
ond straight Big Seven contest
by rolling past Iowa State 27-19
after ringing up a 27 r 6 third
quarter lead while Colorado
rolled past once-beaten Utah
21-0, mainly on some timely in
terceptions by Carroll Hardy and
Frank BernardL

team which wasn't supposed to

Bowl hopes alive and at the
same time virtually wrecked any
ideas Ohio State had about par
ticipating in the big New Year's
Day clash. Leroy Bolden. the
Spartans' little Negro halfback,
tallied three times to lead the
28-13 win past the rugged Buck
eyes. PAUL GIEL had another one
of his unusual afternoons by
scoring twice and passing for
another as Minnesota stopped
Indiana 28-0. Iowa smothered
Purdue 26-0 and Wisconsin clob
bered Northwestern 34-13 in
other Big Ten action.
Down in the unpredictable
Southwest, Texas tumbled Bay
lor from the undefeated ranks
by edging the favored Bears
21-20 largely behind the accu
rate toe of Phil Branch who
converted three straight times.
The Longhorn triumph put them
into a first-place deadlock with
Baylor, who is seeking its first
Southwest Conference title in 29
years.
" Southern California put a tem
porary damper on the Rose
Bowl hopes of surprising Stan
ford by edging the Indians 23-20
in the last 14 seconds on a 38
yard field goal by little Sam
Tsagalakis. Quarterback Bob
Garrett was great for the losers
with a dazzling display that re
sulted in 20 completions for 324
yards and three touchdowns.
JOHN LATTNER ran back a
Pennsylvania kickoff 92 yards
for a touchdown after the keyed
up Quakers had taken a 7-0
lead and Notre" Dame went on
to post a 28-20 triumph. The
Irish Ail-American also set up
two other touchdowns with
spectacular runs.

Louisiana State, 32-14.
Miller's CAREER SHOP
By BOB SERR
Sports Staff Writer
Coach Bill Glassford sends
his charges against the Colorado
Buffaloes Saturday before the
homecoming crowd at Memorial
Stadium. The large throng is
expected to witness a wide open
brand of football as Homer Jen
kins, Buff backfield star, returns
to the lineup this week.
The Cornhnskers may be with
out the services of star tackle
Ted Connor. Connor is report
edly doing- fine at the student
health center, but it will not be
announced for a few days if
he will be able to play Sat
urday. He suffered a slight con
cussion at Ames Saturday.
A CORNHUSKER victory,
combined with a Missouri loss to
Kansas State, would place Ne
braska all alone in third place
in the Big Seven standings.
The Tiger-Wildcat fray should
be the top attraction of the week
in the Conference. Oklahoma
could clinch their sixth straight
title by defecating Iowa State
Saturday in Ames.
Cornhuskrr Coach Bill Glass
ford stated that the Cornhusk
er's cause has been helped of
late by the improved line play,
especially between the tackles.
Senior Jerry Paulson and jun
ior Bob Wagner have turned tn
outstanding games of late with
center Bob Oberlin. The down
field blocking has greatly im
proved since the earlier show
ings, Glassford said.
JOHN BORDOGNA and
Sophomore Jon McWilliams have
sparkled in the backfield in the
recent victories. Bordogna loads
the Husker's scoring with 34
points. McWilliams, who has
recently displayed some out
standing running, broke into the
scoring column with two touch
downs Saturday at Ames.
Outside of the possible loss
of Connor, both teams are going
to be a f top strength at game
time. The Cornhuskers will be
trying to score their first win
over the Buffs since 1949.
Nebraska is seeking its third
consecutive Big Seven win.

Simply: "Will pick you up at eight
