Betas,DU's Battle In Intramural Finals
Beta Theta Pi and Delta Upsilon will play today for the Fraternity "A" Hill football championship in intramural touch football. Kickoff time is 4 p.m. at the intramural fields.
The two teams advanced to the championships by winning in the second round of the Fraternity "A" Hill playoffs yesterday.
THE BETAS, who are looking for their fifth consecutive Fraternity "A" Hill football title, were last defeated in playoff action by a DU team in 1956. In 1957, the Betas did not compete in the playoffs.
Beta Theta Pi slipped by Phi Delta
Theta, 3-6, while Delta Upsilon was
whipping Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 16-0.
In the 13-6 Beta win over the Phi Delts, defense eventually proved to be the deciding factor in the outcome of the game. The offensive play of both teams was sporadic.
The Betas then started their initial scoring drive, moving 55 yards in nine plays for the touchdown. The score came on a five-yard pass up the middle from Beta quarterback Morgan Metcalf to blocking back Keith Kreutziger. The conversion was good on a fake kick, when Metcalf passed to Jim Emerson, and gave the Betas a short-lived, 7-0 lead.
The Betas could not put an effective offense together against the tough Phi Delt rushers until midway through the second period.
TWO PLAYS later, the Phil Deltis came roaring to score. Phi quarterback Del Campbell rolled out and passed 40 yards into the Beta end zone to end Mike Holland, who had slipped through the Beta secondary.
The extra point attempt failed, however, when Kreutziger, a Beta rusher on defense, knocked down Campbell's pass.
The third period was another battle of the defenses, until the Betas split the Phi Delt secondary with less than a minute left in the quarter.
At that time, Metcalf launched a 50-yard aerial to end Dave Phillips, who was caught at the Phi 10-yard line. Two plays later—the last play of the period — Metcalf riffed an eight-yard pass up the middle to Emerson for the score. Bob Swan's conversion attempt was blocked, and the Betas held a 13-6 margin at the end of the third quarter.
TWO PLAYS LATER, it looked like a Phi Delt repeat — a quick comeback after a Beta touchdown.
Keith Abercrombie, a Phi Delt blocker, took a pitchout from Campbell and completed a 40-yard aerial to end Gary Ace on the Beta four-yard line.
But then the stubborn Beta defense held. Five plays and three penalties later, the Phis had been moved back to the Beta 30, where they lost possession of the ball on downs.
The ball exchanged hands one more time, but neither team could show another consistent offensive attack.
The DU victory was their sixth straight this season without a loss.
DELTA UPSILON fought its way into the Fraternity "A" finale as they blitzed for all their points in the second quarter, defeating Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 16-0.
Pinpoint passing by Tom Hamill paced the DU second-period rout. Scoring on two long drives and a safety, Delta Upsilon was never

threatened after this decisive quarter.
End Gene Shofner caught an 18-yard Hamill aerial for the first score. Four plays later, SAE quarterback Jim Meyer dropped the center snap in his own end zone, giving the DU's two more points.
