They played four games and lost three. In their first game the MI-luskies pups met the Marian- apolis Prep team and were able to hold them to twelve points although the visitors favored a unique style of play which at times closely resembled a trench fight. Molloy and Keish were casualties. - The next week saw the yearling's only victory as they out- played and outscored the Springfield Junior gymnasts in a wide open game, 18-0. In the first quarter Scussel snared a 30-yard pass from Harris to set up the score and then tallied on an end sweep. In the second quarter Harris ran 60 yards on an intercepted pass then bucked five yards to score. On October 26, the confident White-men traveled to Prov- idence to be treated to a most artistic and enthusiastic drubb- ing at the paws of the Brown cubs, 33-0. On Homecoming day the Rhody Ramlets eked out a 7-6 victory. Harris, kicking kept the ball in the Wooly one's territory most of the lgameu. In the third quarter, Zorn in- tercepted a pass and marched 20 yards to the Kingstonians' doorstep and Scussel smashed over for the score. The con- version failed by a few feet. For the rest of the morning, the air was thick with Harris' passes to Beck but they failed to make any impression. I ' Despite what seemed to be a disappointing season, Coach Van Bibber is looking forward to welcoming a group of boys who have shown plenty of iight and have given promise of rapid improvement onto next year's varsity.

A .keen spirit of competition was much in evidence this past season as bigger and better teams vied for honors on the intramural gridiron. This season the teams were divided into two leagues in order to reduce the number of games played by each team and thus Htted the competition into the necessarily short season. The winning team in each league, MX and Phi Mu, battled in a play off to decide the Univer- sity Champion. Eta Lambda Sigma was the winner. The season got off to a good start as a powerful MX ma- chineunder the leadership of Verinis and ,laskilka crushed a fighting non-frat sextet 14-0. On the same bill'Alpha Phi established itself with a decisive 14-7 victory over Shakes. In its next game Alpha Phi with Nick Gardner again showed its power as it stalemated Gamma Rho to a 13-0 victory. Then, despite the rally stimulated by Jerry Nash, Sigma Phi fell before Tau Ep 24-19 in the season's debut for both these teams. Nash played only the second half, ofthe game but scored all of Sigma Phi's points. 'Litvin and Robinsky were outstanding for the victors.. Pi Alpha Pi iinished out the first week of competition by beating a weak F aculty-Grads team 13-6. MX, in the other half of this bill, again trampled under a team as they muzzled Phi Ep 37-0. With Verinis and .laskilka again holding the reins it was definitely no contest for Phi Ep. The second week of competition play found MX still as- serting its superiority as it downed Tau Ep. Phi Ep next bame up against Sigma Phi and seemed to be in a slump as they lost 12-0. Nash and Humphries starred for Sigma Phi in the game. Phi Ep again went under a few nights later .at the hands of Non-Frat 12-7. Sigma Phi moved into second place in the MA leagues when they turned back Non-Frat 14-13. The MA league -leaders, MX, smothered Sigma Phiis hopes by defeating them in a later game. Tau Ep decided the occupants of the lower berth when they handed Phi Ep its fourth- defeat. ln the MB league Alpha Phi and Phi Mu turned back all competition and tied for first place. The play-off in the league aroused enough interest to get the season's largest crowd. They were not disappointed as the superior play- ing of Krause and Coolidge of Phi Mu turned back Alpha Phi after a tough game. All individual or team performances were forced into ob- livion when MX met Phi Mu in the inter-league playoff. This contest was the most spectacular and thrilling game of the season as MX was represented by its full strength of Verinis, Jaskilka, Verbillo, Miller and Karo. They were matched against Krause, Coolidge, Finnegan, Fryer, and Leonard of Phi Mu. Accurate passing and teamwork en- abled MX7' to take an early lead. Phi Mu threatened through- out the game as K1'ause's long passes came very near com- pletion each time. MX was the superior team however and deserved the 21-7 victory. POOL AND PING PONG A new fall intramural sport was introduced this season with a pool and ping-pong tournament being sponsored by the Mediator. Competitions within each house determined the combination to representit in the tourneys. The games were all played on the table of the fraternities. MX? was dominant here also as M,lim Conners and John Yusievicz won the pool championships. MCrash Crosky of Phi Ep was individual champ in Ping-Pong. Silver cups were award- ed by the Mediator. 25 ffgy A 'Karim-..J bf ff Q. 97 W M XO -9 X X MW R524 if X 2 'S ' Q .31 fit' fs 'bf' 1xxs m Main!
