Betas, Sig Alphs Win Capture Playoff Berths
Beta Theta Pi won its sixth straight division title by trouncing Sigma Chi, 32-13, yesterday in Fraternity “A” Division I play.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon captured second place in Division I, slipping by Delta Tau Delta in the final 30 seconds of the game. 26-21.
By winning yesterday, both the Betas and Sig Alphs will advance into the Hill Championship playoffs which begin next week.
IN SPITE of the 32-13 score, the Betas had difficulty with the Sigma Chis until midway through the third period.
The Sigs jumped off to an early 7-0 lead when quarterback Bob Benz hit Norm Schwarzkoph with a 32-yard scoring heave and booted the extra point.
The Betas, however, led by quarterback Morgan Metcalf and receivers Don Warner, Laird Patterson, Bill Geiger, Karl Kreutziger, and Jim Emerson, stormed back, pushing for three touchdowns to hold a 19-7 margin at the intermission.
Beta noticed its first score two minutes after the Sigs broke loose when Metcalf hit Warner with a 30-yard scoring pass. They scored again in the first period after a 40-yard drive when Metcalf threw a 10-yard bulls-eye up the middle to Kreutziger and Bob Swan converted.
THE WINNERS got their only touchdown of the second quarter with a Metcalf-Emerson combination from three vards out.
But the Sigma Chis retaliated quickly in the third quarter and temporarily moved back into the game. After stopping two Beta drives inside their 25-yard line, the Sigs moved 40 yards in six plays to narrow the gap to six, 19-13, at the end of their third period. The score came on a 10-yard pass from Benz to Dave Barrier.
Then the Sigs' roof fell in. Two Beta touchdown drives ate up seven valuable minutes and put the defending champs out of reach.
THE FIRST of the fourth-quarter tallies came on a 10-yard, Metcalf-to-John McCormick pass, and the second on a three-yard toss to Emerson. Swan added the conversion after the final touchdown.
One of the deciding factors in the game was the alert Beta defense, led by rushers McCormick, Kreutziger, and Ron Greenlee, and middle linebacker Emerson. The tough Beta chargers forced Sig passer Benz to hurry his tosses, four of which were picked off by the alert Beta secondary.
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon-Delta Tau Delta contest was a see-saw match right down to the wire.
THE DECISIVE blow for the Sig Alphas was struck in the final 30 seconds of the game when quarterback Jim Meyer orbited a 49-yard aerial to Mike Mason. Mason, who made a terrific over-the-shoulder grab on the Delt three, stumbled, but his momentum carried him into the end zone for the winning touchdown.
Only seconds before, Delt quarterback Steve Lunsford had thrown a 10-yard scoring pass to Bill Steel to knot the score at 20-20. Another Lunsford-Steele combination on the conversion attempt gave the Delts a 21-20 edge.

John H. Garner, sweating out the
Cuban crisis in the sensitive Key
West area:
"I believe anyone in their right mind is afraid of what might develop from the Cuban situation. But, I'm much more afraid for my husband who is on a sub in the blockade."
Then Meyer dropped his bomb. The Alphs, however, scored on long passes most of the afternoon—and Mason did a good part of the catching.
HE PICKED OFF a 34- yard scoring toss from Meyer in the first period, and was running through Delt defenders most of the afternoon.
Dave Stinson notched the second SAE six-pointer on a 22-yard pass from Meyer, and Jeff Heitzeberg hauled down a 45-yard aerial for the third Alph score.
Jim Christian and Dave Culp scored the first two Delt touchdowns
In other fraternity "A" action today, two winless teams, Tau Kappa Epsilon and Lamba Chi, will battle to stay out of the Division I cellar, and Phi Gamma Delta and Theta Chi play in Division II. The Phi Gams, with a win today, can clinch the Division II runner-up spot and assure themselves a berth in the Hill Championship playoffs.
Gale Sayers of Kansas and Missouri's John Roland, two of the classiest rookie halfbacks in Big Eight history, have turned the torrid battle for individual rushing honors into virtually a two-man duel.
Sayers, Roland Battle for Big Eight Rushing Honors
They switched places again in this week's tabulation with Sayers regaining the top spot he held two weeks ago following the KU-Iowa State game.
Savers vaulted back into the lead this week on the strength of his record-shattering performance Saturday against Oklahoma State. He ripped off 283 yards in 22 carries for a new one-game conference record, giving him a season total of 709 yards in 97 carries.
Roland, who picked up 104 yards on 24 carries against Iowa State Saturday, has 622 yards in 109 carries. Roland and Iowa State All-American Dave Hoppmann, third in conference rushing with 462 yards on 120 carries, are tied for first place in scoring with 54 points. Nebraska quarterback Dennis Claridge is third at 48. Sayers and KU fullback Ken Coleman are tied for the tenth spot with 18 points.

Pall Mall Presents~ GIRL WATCHER'S GUIDE
CAMPUS TYPE II
Don't let this girl's costume fool you. She's not really a mad scientist. She's a girl—a real, live girl. It's just that she has to prove something—to herself and to her family.
She has to prove that she has a brain and that, if she ever has to compete with men on their own terms, she can do it—and win. But she really doesn't want to compete with men. In her heart she wants to attract men and eventually, marry one. The girl watcher should not let this situation disturb him, however.
If the girl is watchable, she should be watched, no matter what her motives or ambitions may be. The same thing is true of a cigarette. If it's smokeable, it should be smoked—and Pall Mall is the most smokeable of all!
Pall Mall's natural mildness is so good to your taste!
So smooth, so satisfying, so downright smokeable!
