ATO, Beta Reach Finals In Intramural Football
Alpha Tau Omega and Beta Theta Pi will carry their football battling to the finals of the fraternity "A" league by virtue of their wins over Phi Delta Theta and Tau Kappa Epsilon respectively.
Alpha Tau Omega edged past Phi Delta Theta 14 to 12 for a bertain against Beta Theta Pi in the finals of the fraternity "A" league.
The Taus had to came from behind a 12 to 7 half-time deficit with a stirring fourth-quarter touchdown march to make Herb Weidensaul's two important conversion efforts spell victory.
Ace passer Chet Laniewski got A.T.O. off to a good start near the end of the initial quarter by pitching to Weidensau for the first score of the game. Weidensau went into kicking position on the wing to guard the Phi Deltos off guard in passing to Don Aitken for the vital one point.
But the Phi Delts came roaring back. The second quarter was hardly underway when Walt Quiring let go with a tremendous heave, the ball traveling at least 50 yards in the air, to Bob Dannneberg who trotted on over for the touchdown. The play was good for 63 yards. However, the conversion attempt failed.
Then the Phi Delts went into the lead a few minutes later when Gordon Rock made a flashy interception of a Laniewski pitchout and raced 30 yards into the end zone for six more points. Again the Phi Delts failed to convert.
After coming close twice in the final half, the victors pushed over the Phi Delt goal again in the fourth quarter on a short flip from Laniewski to Bob Trego. This time Weidensaul kicked for the extra point.
In the second play-off of the day the Beta Theta Pi "A" team remained undefeated as it downed Tan Kappa Epsilon "A" 20 to 0 in its first game of the intramural play-offs. The Betas had the game well in hand although they didn't score until the second half.
Once again the Beta attack revolved around Bob Schwanzle who three touchdown passes. A 10-yard aerial from Schwanzle to John Stites capped a 60-yard scoring drive in the first minutes of the second half. A 72-yard scoring march materialized on a short pass from Schwanzle to Bill Halverhout in the end zone.
A Schwanzle pass went 40 yards to Jim Floyd who ran 20 yards for a fourth quarter score.
In the first half, the Beta team moved down within the losers' 5-yard line four times but lost the ball on downs and interceptions. The T.K.E. team, led by the tossing of Press Wilson, pushed its way to the Beta goal line in last minutes but failed to get across before the game's end.
K-State To Rely On Aerial Attack
Manhattan, Kan., Nov. 9. — (U,P)— Kansas State state will rely on an serial offense against Oklahoma A. & M. college Saturday.
Coach Ralph Graham said his Wildeats are sharpening up their passing attack and concentrating on defense in practice sessions. He said the squad would be in top shape for the game.
Roland Prather and Walt Gehlback will be co-captains for the Wildeats Saturday.
Pole Vaulting Now Easier
Gary, Ind. — (U.P.) Here's one for potential pole vaulters who shy away from the sport because of the hard landing at the end of the fall. A track coach has invented a landing device by which the jumper hits a net that is counterbalanced. The weights let him down easy.
Driver Crashes Police Cars
Joshua, Texas—(U.P.)-State police and sheriff's officers were investigating an accident when one happened to them. Another motorist failed to observe flares at the crash scene and banged into the parked state police car, knocking it into the sheriff's car.

This Prisoner Is Obedient
Strawn, Texas — (U.P.)—A Strawn man got into a tavern fight at nearby Mingus, Tex., returned here, called up officer Ben Bradford and told him he was going to jail and lock himself up. When Mr. Bradford reached the jail, the man was behind bars.
Rifle arm Dick Gilman, Jayhawker ace passer, stands second in the passing department of the Big Seven conference. Dick, one barrel of the Jayhawker's twin attack, has completed 41 out of 101 attempts for 744 yards.
He's Key Man For Notre Dame
Chicago, Nov. 9—(U.P.)He hasn't a lot of press clippings to his credit, but a lot of stalwart Notre Dame fans will tell you that "Jungle Jim" Martin, co-captain of the Irish eleven, is a key man in helping the team to six more consecutive victories this year.
Martin, who received the facile nickname of "Jungle Jim" because he actually battled the jungles during the war as a marine corps underwater demolition man, switched successfully from end in 1948 to tackle this season.
tackle this season.
“If he hadn't made that switch successfully,” an Irish spokesman said, “we would have been very weak at the tackles, and it might have been a different season.”
Coach Frank Leahy pointed out how successful the changeover was.
"He's been especially valuable to us." Leahy said, "Not only because of his blocking and tackling, but also for his leadership. He keeps the other lads in the line convinced that they can stop the other team, or block to help our backs, and he leads them all the time.
"You know," Leahy confided, "It wasn't until after he'd played tackle a couple of games that we found out that he had a mortal fear when he played end that the other team would turn around him.
"Now, with an end at his side,
he plays a beautiful game."
It sounded strange to hear that a demolition man, whose outfit won a presidential citation for bravery in going ashore for information at Tinian on the eve of the invasion, had mortal fear on a football field.
"It took a lot of guts to make that tackle," one Notre Dame player began after a game. Then he looked at Martin and stopped.
Martin, a quiet 204-pound six footer from Cleveland, earned three Notre Dame letters at end and was good enough to warrant national attention for his work. He was not flashy as a flanker, but his work was so steady that he played both offense and defense and finished second to Terry Brennan in pass receiving in 1947.
"He thought of that citation," the Irish observer said.
This year he took the shift to tackle simply to "help the team" when Leahy asked him to consider the change. He has helped-plenty.

200 Attended 1890 Game
Only 200 spectators managed to scrape up 50 cents each to see Kansas play its first home intercollegiate football game on Dec. 8, 1890. It was the third game in the University's history.
history.
The first game for the Mt. Oreal team was with Baker university on Nov. 22, 1890. Kansas won 22 to 9.
Five days later the Jayhawkers traveled to Kansas City and were defeated 18 to 10 by the Kansas City Y.M.C.A. Then the Jayhawkers primed themselves for their game at home with Baker.
W. H. Carruth, professor of German, was the coach. He was assisted by E.M. Hopkins, professor of English. Professor Hopkins confessed that he knew little of the finer details of the game, but he had seen it played several times at Princeton university.
university. The rules were a little different in those days. The game was played on a field 110 yards long and 50 yards wide. The field was marked off in five-yard sections, and each team was given three trials to make five yards for a first down.
A team was given two points for a safety, two for a conversion, four for a touchdown, and three for a field goal.
The quarterback, who is the all-important man in the modern Tformation, was not permitted to carry the ball.
The game consisted of two 45-minute halves. The only time-outs were when a player was injured and had to be helped from the field.
