We'd bet that it isn't long before the official announcement comes out that the Big Seven and the Atlantic conference have signed an agreement to play in the Orange Bowl. It may even come out earlier than most people expect.
Monday the representatives of the two conferences met with Orange Bowl officials in Durham, N.C., but everyone remained mum after adjournment. A press release said only that everyone seemed to be in harmony and that people believed some sort of an agreement had been reached.
The release went on to say that the Orange Bowl representatives appeared pleased with the results of the meeting, indicating that an announcement may come out of Miami later.
The mention of Miami in the text of the release might be a reliable forecast that the representatives of the Orange Bowl have accepted the terms of the two conferences but that final approval on the move will have to come from the big shots in Miami. If this is true, then the word should be out in a few days.
But before anything can become official, the faculty representatives of the two conferences must again meet and adopt the measure. That will take a little more time, just how long, no one knows.
The whole idea has been on the table for a long time. Every possible means has been taken to insure that the pact with the Orange Bowl be free of any defects. Both conferences have drawn up their separate ideas of what the agreement should contain.
The Big Seven faculty representatives appointed T. DeWitt Carr, Dean of the KU School of Engineering and KU's faculty representative to the Big Seven, as chairman of the committee to draw up this agreement. Dean Carr and his committee made every effort to improve the Big Ten-Pacific Coast pact with the Bowl.
With the Big Seven ideas in one hand and the Atlantic conference ideas in the other, the meeting at Durham was to combine the two so that both conferences and the Orange Bowl would be satisfied with the finished product.
Whether each party will be satisfied is the only remaining restriction on the acceptance of the agreement. Both conferences will again call meetings if the Orange Bowl is in favor of the move and it is at these meetings that the pact will be officially approved.
It's hard to see either conference turning the proposition down. The Big Seven had only one dissenting vote cast when the idea was first brought up. That one was Missouri.
If the Orange Bowl favors the tie-up, New Year's Day, 1954, will see the Big Seven winner playing the Atlantic Conference winner in Miami. And incidently, it won't be the same team in 1955. As the Rose Bowl set-up stipulates that no team can play in consecutive years, so does the planned Orange Bowl contract.
4 Close Games, One Forfeit In Independent, Frat Play
Close games were the rule in yesterday's intramural football games, with seven points being the largest margin of victory. The closest game was won by Beta Theta Pi, who squeaked past Delta Tau Delta, 2-0. Phi Gam and Liahona both were both victors by identical scores of 13-6, and Jim Beam was awarded a forfeit over ISA-B.
Beta 2. Delts 0
Beta scored a first quarter safety, the winning score, when Jim Newby touched the Delt passer in the end zone. The game was a tight defensive battle all the way, as indicated by the fact that the only scoring came as a result of defensive work, while all offensive bids were stifled.
Phi Gam 13, Kappa Sig 6
Phi Gam was never in trouble for the aggressive Fiji defense held Kappa Sig scoreless until the last play of the game, when the losers scored on a long running play. Phi Gam jumped off to an early lead when Warren Johnston intercepted a short pass and raced seven yards for a tally. The Phi Games added to their lead in the second quarter when Bill Blair connected with a long pass to Mark Nardyz for the second counter.
Liahona 13, AFROTC 6
Dick Mehas led Liahona to its first victory of the season by passing for two touchdowns. The first came in the opening moments of the game with Joe Bayless on the receiving end, and the other came in the second stanza with Don Kearnes doing the catching. The tight Liahona defense held AFROTC scoreless until the last quarter.
Jim Beam 1. ISA-B 0
Jim Beam was awarded a forfeit when ISA was unable to produce enough players.
Todays games, all in Fraternity "B" are: Sigma Chi vs. Beta II; SAE vs. AEPI; Phi Psi vs. Delta Chi; and Phi DeltI I vs. ATO.
Coach Frank Potts sends his Colorado cross-country runners into action for the first time this fall, Oct. 17, in the Wyoming Invitational at Laramie. The Buffs, undefended in four meets last year, will be led by lettermen Lloyd Barlow, Bill Gavito and John Kick.
