The next Saturday found the Indians pitted against another opponent that enjoyed a heavy weight advantage. Playing in Sioux City, Oma- ha ' s warriors were mauled to a 49-13 setback even though they drew first blood when Oglesby ' s pass to Graham clicked. Late in the game, the Indians broke through again on passes: Roth flipped a forward to Don Peterson, who lateraled to Bowlin for the marker. A Panther powerhouse, successfully seeking a third straight conference championship for Iowa State Teachers ' College, swept over the Indians 48-0 in the season ' s wind-up at Benson stadium November 14. Hazen intercepted a Panther pass in the third quarter to set up the Indians ' only threat. Oglesby ' s toss to Pangle was good, and Pangle dodged and squirmed through most of the Iowa team before he was downed on the Pan- thers ' fifteen. Two Indians received honorable mention in the all-conference selections: Len Graham as a blocking and defensive end, and Bob Hazen as a linebacker.

Softball Bremer, Grobeck, Ketchel . . . table tennis — Bremer and Edwards Snde pendents leat tke ( reeU tke ail intf It was all Independents this fall in intramurals. They wound up undefeated in the double round robin in softball, and climaxed the season by re- peating in table tennis. Darrel Clemmer captained his mates in the most prosperous intramural season any Barb team has known. Formerly, the Independents were split into five groups, and under this system didn ' t fare so well. This year, with so many stu- dents being called to the services, and many others holding jobs, student intramurals directors Hank Moberg and Ben Miller decided to hove four strong teams, rather than three strong and five weak ones. Consistent strong performers for the Barbs were Al Ringhofer, Ben Miller, Marvin Gerber, Erwin Lowery, Harold Hamilton, Harvey Sopot, and, of course, Clemmer. Phi Sig finished the softboll schedule in sec- ond place, with three victories and three defeats, but wound up in the cellar in table tennis, losing all six matches. Neole Peterson, captain, Don Ostrond, Dale Heinbuch, Wayne Bremer, and Bruce Lefholtz were the standouts for the Phi Sigs. Captain Fred Holmstrom, Lynn Neafus, Roger Lindblom, Honk Moberg, Jack Carter, and Ron- nie Seastedt were the chief cogs in the Theto machine. With Neafus and Moberg chucking, the Greeks were able to push the Independents considerably in softball, but weren ' t able to win more than three table tennis matches out of six. Alpha Sigma Lambda, who was just the other frat in soft boll, surprise the other contestants in table tennis and placed second in the final standings with four wins and two losses, both losses being administered by the Barbs. Captain Allen Peterson, Cal Olson, Earl Rinehart, Wil- liam Beebe, and Allen Scoville were the main- stays of the fraternity. Final standings: SOFTBALL W 1. Independents 6 2. Phi Sig 3 3. Theto 3 4.
