Beta Defeats ATO To Win Fraternity 'A' IM Title
By BILL STRATTON
An alert Beta "A" team capitalized on A.T.O. miscues to win their second consecutive football championship 21 to 0. The Beta's have compiled the amazing record of losing only one game the past three seasons, a 16 to 14 defeat at the hands of Sigma Chi in the 1947 finals.
The score, however, was not indicative of the battle the spinner but battered. But the marmot losers led in virtually every statistical department only to see the Beta's turn three intercepted passes into touchdowns.

Beta Scoring: Touchdowns—Halverhout 1, Gillin 1, Oswald 1. Extra point—Lowrie 1.
The A.T.O.'s took the opening kick-off and drove to the Beta 23-yard line behind the accurate passing of Chet Laniewski before re-enquiring the ball on downs. After an exchange of punts had forced the A.T.O.'s deep into their own territory, Bill Halverhout, a Beta defensive star all afternoon, intercepted a Laniewski pass at midfield and raced to the losers' 6-yard line. Tailback Bob Schwandle rifled a bullet pass to Halverhout in the end zone for the initial tally. Al Lowrie's placement was wide of the uprights.
In the second quarter, tailback Laniewski completed seven out of 12 passes for 63 yards and three first downs. But the victors' defense rose to the occasion to stop two long A.T.O. thrusts. Meanwhile, Beta receivers were having trouble hanging on to Schwanzle aerials as he completed but two passes out of 12 attempts the first half.
Early in the third period after a 15-yard penalty had placed the ball on the 5-yard. Lowrie broke through a wall of blockers to tag Laniewski behind the goal line for a safety and two points.
After A.T.O. end Glenn Tongier took two passes for short gains, Schwanzle took personal charge, He intercepted a pass at midfield and sped to the 26. The Beta tailback skirted right end for 12 yards, then arched a 14-yard scoring toss to Clair Gillin in the end zone. Lowrie place-kicked the extra point.
The losers' made their final bid for a touchdown midway in the final quarter. Laniwieski faded back to his 30-yard line and fired a long pass to center Bob Huckle who took a corner. The ball scampered across the goal line. However, the spectacular play was nullified by an offsides penalty.
With three minutes remaining, Beta's defensive halftback Charles Oswald intercepted a desperation pass and sprinted 30 yards down the sideline behind good blocking for the final score. Lowrie again missed the attempt for the extra point. The champions were again threatening at the final whistle as Schwanzle completed a 20-yard pass to George Nettles on the A.T.O. 11 yard line.
