Betas Take Title In Frat 'A' League
A wide variety of scores marked yesterday's intramural "A" league football games, ranging from Beta's 53-0 defeat of Triangle to Teke's 1-0 victory over PIKA in an overtime. In the middle of the scoring spread was Kappa Sig's 25-13 defeat of Sigma Chi. The fourth scheduled game was cancelled, and Phi Delt took a forfeit from Delta Chi, which was unable to produce a full team.
Beta 53, Triangle 0
Beta scored 47 points in the first half, and then coasted in to clinch the Division I championship in the Fraternity "A" league. In the first period, John Strawn threw two touchdown passes to Ressler, and Simpson added both conversions, but that was only the beginning, as the Betas tallied 33 points in the second quarter.
The scoring came in this order:
Strawn passed to Al Mulliken;
Strawn passed to Don Franklin; Resler intercepted a pass and went 30 yards for a score; Strawn passed to Mark Rivard, and Strawn passed to Don Endacott. Simpson converted after 3 of the five second-quarter scores, and then, in the fourth quarter, threw a touchdown pass to Al Mulliken for the only second-half score.
Kappa Sig 25. Sigma Chi 13
Two third-quarter touchdowns put Kappa Sig on top after it had trailed 12-13 at halftime. Sigma Chi scored on the second play of the game when Farney intercepted a pass and went 30 yards for the tally. Kappa Sig came back when Chestnut passed to Pace on a punt return, and Pace went all the way for the score. Fritzel then passed to Imes for the second Sigma Chi score, and Fritzel converted to make it 13-6.
Shortly before the half, Kappa Sig again scored on a pass on a punt return, with Chestnut passing to Hixon. In the third quarter, Kappa Sig broke the game open with two quick scores. After Getto intercepted a Sigma Chi aerial, Chestnut passed to Chementi for the score, Chestnut converting, making the score 19-13. The final tally came on a pass from Chestnut to McClair.
TKE 1, PiKA 0
In a nip-and-tuck game, Teke squeaked out an overtime victory for its first victory of the season. After the regular playing time had ended in a scoreless tie, TKE managed to pick up two yards on four plays, and its defense held PiKA to only one yard in its four plays.
The top game today pits Phi Gam against Sigma Nu, in a battle for division honors. A Phi Gam victory would clinch the crown for the Fijis, but a Sigma Nu decision would throw the race into a 3-way tie. Other games today in Fraternity "A" play are SAE vs. ATO, and Phi Kap vs. Sig Ep. In the "B" league, Sig Eip is matched against Beta.
Baylor, coached by former Kansas mentor George Sauer, is leading the Southwest conference with two wins and no losses. The Bears also are undefeated for the year, winning five in a row.

Buffs Choose OU Over Cats
Excellent clinical facilities. Athletic and recreational activities. Dormitories on the campus.
Boulder, Colo. —(U.P.) Colorado university gridders—the only common opponent of Kansas State and Oklahoma so far this season—were convinced today the Sooners would defeat Kansas State by "at least three touchdowns" for the Big Seven conference leadership Saturday.

A spot check of Colorado players who participated in the Kansas State and Oklahoma games indicated the Buffs have much respect for the Sooners and little for the Wildcats.
Oklahoma defeated Colorado, 27-20, on a last-minute touchdown at Norman last Saturday, while Kansas State had an easier time winning from Colorado the week before at Manhattan, 28-14. However, comparative scores mean nothing_to the Colorado players.
Tailback Ronnie Johnson, guard Dick Knowlton, and tackle Bob Morton of the Buffalooes all picked Oklahoma to win at Manhattan Saturday by "at least three touchdowns." He was one of those were more certain of an Oklahoma victory, picking the Sooners by four touchdowns.
The Buffs were unanimous in their praise for the Oklahoma club as compared to the Kansas State team. They all said the Sooner line charged harder and that Oklahoma had a better balanced team.
Quarterback Roger Hunt was specific. He said Oklahoma would win by 19 points. None of the Buffs selected Kansas State as the probable winner.
Sultans Top Thursday Loop
Standings of the Thursday afternoon Student Bowling league are Sultans, 4-0; Dragnetts, 3-1; Sigma Chi, 3-1; Phi Delta Theta, 1-3; Alpha KappaLambda, 1-3; and Phi Kappa Psi, 0-4. The Sultans have posted the highest game, 656, and the Dragnetts have the best 3-game total, 1,703. Jack Frost of Phi Deft, has posted the highest single game, 195, and Don Waggoner of the Dragnetts, the high 3-game score, 491.
Manhattan, Kan.—(U.P.) A football coach who majored in transportation and public utilities when he attended the University of Tennessee had a new kind of transportation problem today.
Meek Was Pupil of Gen. Neyland
He is Bill Meek, 33-year-old skipper of Kansas State's surprise team of the Big Seven conference.
Kansas State and Oklahoma meet Saturday in Manhattan for the Big Seven leadership and anyone who has ideas on how to move a football through the rugged Oklahomaans will find an avid listener in Meek.
"Actually, I can blame World War II for the position I'm in," Meek said today. "If it hadn't been for that, I probably never would have taken up coaching."
But the Army gave Meek a job coaching during his four years' service and on his return to civilian life he carried on, with Jim Tatum at Maryland.
In 1951, after four years at Maryland, Meek assumed command of a downtrrodden Kansas State crew. They were lean years—1951 and 1952—but the Meek program of building began to show results this season.
The team has won five of its six starts for the greatest success a K-State team has known since the 1934 squad finished with a 7-2-1 mark.
Football success came quickly for Meek. He coached the Fort Denning Doughbys to the National Service championship in 1946.
The infantry captain who was a star blocking back under Gen. Robert Neyland at Tennessee likes his football "hard and fast." He personally supervises blocking and tackling sessions, insisting that fundamentals must be "letter perfect."
