IM Football Begins Play With 3 Games
Delayed several days by wet ground, the race for the Hill's touch football championship got underway Friday, Sept. 30. Still hampered by several wet fields, only three games were played, two "A" games and one "B" game.
In one "A" game, Sigma Chi defeated the Sigma Nu 13-0. Playing to a scoreless deadlock in the opening stanza, Sigma Chi hit paydirt in the second period on a 15-yard pass from Gary Braebek, Winnetka, Ill., junior, to Chuck Taylor, Wichita freshman.
Again in the third period the Sigma Chi's offense started to move, climaxed by a 25-yard pass from Brabeck to Tom Beard, Bartlesville, Okla., freshman.
Sigma Phi Epsilon was downed by Kappa Sigma 1-0 in the other "A" team game. The game ended in a scoreless tie. The Kappa Sigs made seven yards to the Sip Ep's none in the overtime, giving them the victory.
The Phi Delta tallied again in the third period on a 15-yard pass from Graves to Mike Hayes, Stafford freshman.
In the only "B" game, Phi Delta Theta beatphi Kappa Psi 13-0. Starting off fast, the Phi Delts scored in the opening quarter on a pass from Dean Graves, Kansas City, Kan., junior, to George Kinney, Garden City senior, which covered 30 yards. The extra point was also scored on a pass from Graves to Kinney.
Score Named Top Rookie
ST. LOUIS - (U.P.) The Sporting News announced that Herb Score of the Cleveland Indians and Bill Virdon of the St. Louis Cardinals were chosen, rookies-of-the-year in the American and National leagues.
Kansas will probably be established as a favorite against Iowa State. This will be the first time in a long time that the Jayhawkers won't go into a game as an underdog.

Wait May Be Over For Brooklynites
United Press Sports Writer This could be the long-awaited day on which "next year" finally comes to Brooklyn.
By OSCAR FRALEY
Through years of bitter disappointment the war cry of "wait 'til next year" has been the almost perennial promise of the Flatbush faithful. Seven times before they got almost to the summit before they were frustrated in the World Series.
But only once before have they been as close as they are today when they go out needing one win in the remaining two games to take that World championship for the first time.
It's been a long, long wait, as for 55 years the Dodgers knew nothing but frustration. That's how long they've been in the National League—and how long they've been waiting to win a World Series.

BOULDER, Colo.—Kansas lost a football game here Saturday but they did it in magnificent fashion. Out-weighed and out-manned, but never out-played the Jayhawkers gave a shining example of what a team with guts can do.
The entire team played an excellent ball game. No individual could be singled out. The lighter KU line more than held its own against the CU forward wall, tabbed by many as the best in the loop and one of the best in the nation.
Tackling by Kansas was of the old bone-crunching variety and the Kansas pass defense was of excellent caliber. Wally Strauch on offense was sensational and John Francisco and Dick Reich both looked good. Dick Blowley played his old reliable game.
Jim Letecvits and Lynn McCarthy, along with Paul Smith and Don Martin slowed the vaunted Colorado single-wing offense down and succeeded in turning the Buffs back whenever they tried to go wide.
From tackle to tackle the KU line played sensational ball both on offense and defense. Frank Gibson, Gene Blasi, Jim Hull, John Drake, Tom Leo, Bob Kraus and Dudley Budrich all looked great and Frank Black at center played one of the finest球 games of his youthful career. Black's only bad moment came on an attempted punt when he centered the ball over Ted Rohde's head into the end zone. A penalty saved the day, however.
Senior end Paul Smith made a key block on John Traylor's punt return in the second quarter. Traylor took the ball on the 10, headed to the right, was boxed in, reversed his field and went left, cut the corner and then was away as Smith mowed a would-be tackler down.
Traylor, along with Letcavits, returned the favor on Ralph Moody's punt return in the same quarter. The little 155 pounder threw a scything block as did Letcavits to break Moody loose for a 35 yard runback.
