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!

FALL FEATURE ':Let,s have a water fight! It's rainingn Beat Rhodyffn Dirty Rushingv The frosh are awfully 1 7 9 little Fall came in all its glory, or it is spring that does that? Old friendships were renewed, and those who had umissed the boat were mourned. Freshmen, all kinds-big ones, little ones, scared ones, fat ones, skinny ones, green ones, cocky ones, cute ones, descended upon us, to liven the campus with their nightly ice-baths and our conversation with their typically freshman behavior. V They took it on the chin from upperclassmen and were good sports about it. They didn't break anyone's glasses, arms, or legs-for a change. They bragged about their number and their rowess, and said, Gcwait and we'll show P you! Those few warm days took away the incentive to study. Bull sessions thrived. Afternoons were spent in Willy at the movies or in the five and ten. Evenings were spent walking in the brisk night air under the moon. Mornings were spent in bed. MLife was wonderful. The freshmen pushed the sophs around as well as the ball in the pushball contest. Football games were typical. Saturdays were typical. The days were sunny and the grandstands colorful. Somebody gave Jonathan a bath. Some of the freshmen decided to study. The social whirl started. Junior Grace Chapman of Hart- ford reigned as Queen of the Military Ball, at which Gene Brodman played. The Rhody game came and went. No more of this uone-point stuff. Fraternities started rushing 26 y Q
