Intramural Football Action Nears End
By Russ Corbitt
Assistant Sports Editor
With league competition rapidly coming to an end, playoff berths are uppermost in the minds of all the intramural football teams.
Beta Theta Pi clinched at least part of the Division 1 championship in the Fraternity A League last night, beating Tau Kappa Epsilon, 69-0.
It was the third victory without a loss for the Betas, who have one remaining game with Phi Delta Theta next week.
HAROLD DRESSER scored three of the Beta touchdowns. Edward Geiger, Darol Rodrock, and Harlan Burkhead each scored two TD's, and John McCormick accounted for the other six-pointer.
Bob Swan picked up nine points, as he kicked a field goal and six extra points.
The Beta cause was aided last night by Phi Kappa Theta, who handed Phi Delta Theta its first loss. The Phi Kaps defeated the Phil Deltis, 12-9, in a tightly-played game.
Phi Kappa Theta scored in the first quarter on a ten-yard pass
from Sandy Cahill to Rich Williams. The play was set up by an interception by Ed Williams, and then a 30-yard pass from Cahill to Ed Williams.
In the second quarter, Phi Kappa Theta twice drove inside the Phi Delta Theta ten-yard line, but the Phi Delt defense stopped the threats.
BOTH THE SECOND and third quarters were scoreless, and the Phi Kaps were still leading, 6-0, going into the final period.
On the first play of the quarter a 60-yard pass play from Dave Trotter to Gary Ace gave the Phi Delta their first touchdown and a 6-6 tie. Steve Pine kicked the extra point, to put the Phi Delts out in front, 7.6
Players' Wives Like Victories Too
By Margaret Hughes
Being married to a KU football player is hard at times.
But, the wives do not seem to mind.
Before the game, he is highly irritable. If KU loses, he is depressed. Out of town, at football practice, asleep, or studying, he hardly sees his wife during football season.
Dick Harp, varsity basketball coach, and Ted Owens, freshman basketball coach, have named their starting lineups for the annual Varsity-Freshman basketball game.
Coaches Name Friday Lineups
The Varsity lineup:
Tipoff time is 7 p.m. Friday in Allen Field House.
The Freshman lineup:
Harry Gibson, 6-3 senior, and Dave Brill, 6-5 junior; forwards; George Unseld, 6-7 junior, center; and Al Correll, 6-3 senior, and Dave Schichtle, 6-2 senior, guards.
Bill Wasinger, 6-4 Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Mike Finnig, 6-5 Troy, Ohio, forwards; Ron Franz, 6-7, Kansas City, center, and Pat Davis, 6-0, Topeka, and John Cahill, 5-10, Kansas City, guards.
"IT'S REALLY like being married to anybody else, except that you have more to be proud of." Mrs. Gale Sayers, wife of KU's All-American halfback candidate, said.
"But I enjoy football very much. Ron even bought me a book called 'How to Understand Football.' But I haven't read it yet."
Mrs. Ron Marsh, whose husband is a starting guard, says: "I don't get to see Ron very much, since he's in swimming and boxing as well as football."
Mrs. Phil Doughty acts as unofficial president of her husband's fan club. A KU graduate, she teaches a junior high class at Eudora.
"My students really get excited about 'Mr. Doughty' and the KU games. Every Monday morning they paste up his pictures and newspaper clippings all over the class room," she said.
"ONE AFTERNOON I drove some of them to Lawrence to watch the football practice and meet Phil. And when he was on a television show, every one of them watched him," Mrs. Doughty added.
Jackie Marsh describ her husband's rather strange schedule. "He comes home from football practice, eats supper, and falls asleep. About 3 a.m. he wakes up and studies into the morning," she said.
The wives have no special diet to prepare for their husbands—"just lots of food," Mrs. Marsh said. The players eat at the training table on Fridays.
The wives especially enjoy going to out-of-town games. "We got to fly back with the team from the Oklahoma game," Mrs. Sayers said. "I am especially excited about going to the Nebraska game, because we are from Omaha," she added.
LINDA SAYERS knows how to handle her husband when he gets "crabby" before a game. "I just try not to pay any attention to him," she said.
But the Phi Kaps were not to be denied, and came back with their own touchdown drive. The scoring play was a five-yard pass from Cahill to Tom Dyerly.
Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Savers both work at Hallmark Cards. The wives agree that get-togethers with other football couples are fun, especially on Saturday nights after the games.
THE PHI KAPS again missed the extra point, and found themselves with a 12-7 lead with about two minutes left.
After the Phi Delts lost possession on downs, Cahill ran out the clock, letting himself get trapped in the end zone for the Phi Delts' final two points.
The division 1 standings now show the Betas on top with a 3-0 record, followed by the Phi Delts with a 2-1 mark. The Phi Kaps are 2-2, Sigma Nu is 1-2, and the TEKE'S are 0-3.
"If KU wins, everyone is happy and jolly," Mrs. Marsh said. "Of course the boys are in a bad mood if we lose, but it doesn't take long until they are looking forward to next week's game."
In Fraternity B action, Delta Upsilon downed Phi Kappa Tau, 32-6, and Sigma Chi defeated Phi Gamma Delta, 6-0.
In other Fraternity A play yesterday, Phi Gamma Delta remained undefeated in its division, by beating Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 32-6.
Tuesday's Fraternity A play also saw the same two Division 1 winners as in yesterday's games.
Feel nervous, run-down?
Been studying too much?
Lack that peppy, wide-awake look?
The Betas rolled over Sigma Nu, 46-0, with Geiger scoring five touchdowns, and Rodrock and Mike Vineyard each scoring one.
Phi Kappa Theta blanked Tau Kappa Epsilon, 22-0, Tuesday. Ed Williams scored two of the touchdowns, and Cahill scored the other.
In B league play Tuesday, Navy defeated Concordia, 13-0; Delta Upsilon downed Theta Chi, 26-7; and Alpha Tau Omega won by forfeit over Sigma Phi Epsilon.
