Beta, TKE, Phi Gam, ATO Win As Playoffs Begin
The Beta's, Teke's, Phi Gam's, and ATO's advanced in the quarter-finals for the fraternity intramural championship Nov. 12. All of the winning teams protected their records against defeats in some of the closest fought battles of the entire intramural football season at the University.
The undefeated Beta “A” team downed once beaten Sigma Chi 13 to 9 in a play-off game Friday. The Beta's, unscored on in five games, pushed across two touchdowns in the second period and then held their margin over a rallying Sigma Chi that drove the length of the field three times in the last half only to be stopped all three times by the Beta defense.
Sigma Chi opened the scoring in the first quarter with an eleven yard pass from Lee Vogel to "Odd" Williams which climaxed a sixty yard scoring drive. Ruell Reddoch kicked the extra point.
The Betas fought back to score on a fifty-five yard pass from Bob Swanzie that bounced off to score the finger tips of John Stites and two sigma Chi defenders into the arms of Beta end "Chuck" Spencer, who was lying on the ground in the end zone. Bill Jones kicked the extra point which tied the score 7 all.
Again in the second quarter a titally deflected pass was snared by Beta John Stites on the eleven yard line to set up the final Beta tally. Swanzle passed to Clair Gillin in the end zone for the touchdown. With the frantic last half effortsigma Chi's Dick Shea broke through the Beta line to tag Swanzle in the end zone for a safety and the final score.
Teke 21. Sig Ep's 7
The Teke's (5-0) won a division play-off, 21 to 7, over the Sig Ep's (4-1).
The Sig Ep's took an early lead, scoring on a long pass on the second play after the initial kick-off. Don Wright passed to Paul Fink who streaked 50 yards for the touchdown. The extra point was also added by Fink.
The Teke's bounced back to tie the score only five plays later on a pass from Press Wilson to Bob Grissom. The extra point was made on another pass play from Wilson to Walt Yoakum.
The only score in the half was made by Jim Silvius who intercepted a Sig Ep pass and made a 50-yard dash to pay territory. Wilson then faded back and completed another pass to Don Korris for the a point to bring the final score to 21 to 7.
In the second period Wilson connected another touchdown pass, this time to Don Korris, then added the extra point by completing one to Jim Silvius.
The Phi Gams (5-0) squeezed out a 7 to 0 win over Phi Psi (4-1). The Phi Gams barely edged the Phi Psi in an evenly matched battle for playoff honors. The fiercely contested battle was typical of these two teams who fought for the game right down to the final whistle.
ATO 12. Phi Kappa 6
Phi Gam 7. Phi Psi 0
ATO (5-0) ended Phi Kappa's (4-1) playoff hopes with a 12 to 6 victory. The ATO's displayed their offensive punch by taking a strong Kappa team which threatened throughout the game but lacked the offensive drive to upset the stronger more versatile foes.
Refined Or Unrefined
Halloween Is Halloween
Binghamton, N. Y.—(UP)—Pupils of the Henry W. Longfellow school here staged a pre-Halloween play, to point up the moral that Halloween pranks are unrefined and dangerous. When heartened parents left the school, 15 of them found the air gone from their automobile tires.
Louis May Fight Bivins In June
Cleveland, Nov. 15—(UP)—Heavyweight champion Joe Louis said today he would fight Jimmy Bivins in New York next June for the title if Bivens proves himself a worthy challenger in their six-round, no-decision exhibition here Wednesday night.
It had been indicated that Louis probably would take on the winner of the forthcoming Joe Baksi-Ezzard Charles bout as the logical challenger, but the champ said that was not necessarily so. He said the Baksi - Ezzard fight would not be an elimination contest and that one of the fighters he meets on his current exhibition tour might be regarded as a better contender.
Louis said, "It's up to the people to decide who I'm gonna fight next June. If the people believe Bivins put up the best showing against me, then I'll fight him for the title."
Kansas Wins Big 7 Meet
The University's two-mile team broke their own record to win the two-mile race at Manhattan Nov. 13. Bob Karnes led the Jayhawkers to the wire as they set a new low of 19 points.

Karnes ran the distance to *win* in 9:39.2 to finish ahead of Bill McGuire of Missouri and his teammate Harold Hinchee.
Placing behind Kansas were Oklahoma with 41; Iowa State 51; Colorado 60; Missouri 62; Nebraska, 100; and Kansas State, 107.
Individual finishers behind the first three were Gene Shaver, Iowa State; John Jacobs, Oklahoma; Dave Breidenthal, Kansas; Solcum, Oklahoma; George Fitzmorris, Colorado; Clif Abel, Kansas; and Bill Chronister, Missouri.

It's The Pass That Does It
New York, Nov. 15—(UP)—For several bone-crushing weeks now the college football boys have been footing for yardage until the pig-skin pitchout had become almost as extinct as Mayan slang or the nickel Havana. No more did each weekend produce a new "slinging" Sammy Baugh, a Sid Luckman or a Davey O'Brien.
But they did a swifter turnabout Saturday than a defeated politician and the old aerial offensive had become so unfamiliar that it turned the tide in any number of games. All we'll mention is a half dozen.
Slingin' Pandel Savic of Ohio State, who curve-balled two six pointers as the Buckeyes upset Illinois. 34 to 7.
Consider the fireball flinging of:
Singin' Arnold Galifaia of Army, who picked Army up by the seat of its battered britches and throw the touchdown with 30 seconds to play which kept Army undefeated, 26 to 20, against gallant Penn.
Pitching Bobby Gage, who pitched a pair of payoff passes to keep Clemson undefeated as it kayoed Wake Forest. 21 to 14.
Slingin' Jim Noonan of Harvard, tossed three T.D.'s to give Brown the D.T.'s by an unset 30 to 19 count.
Flipper Gil Johnson, who fired a aouchdown pass as the gun sounded ot give S.M.U. a 14 to 12 conquest of Arkansas.
Flippin' Charley Justice, flipped two and caught one just to relieve the monotony as North Carolina steam roller moved. 49 to 20.
To be perfectly fair about it, though, some of the backward lads who hadn't heard about this new, quick air mail brand of football got along very nicely by the obsolete method of slugging it out on the ground. Representing the infantry were:
Billy (That's Me) Bye of Minnesota, galloped for three touchdowns as the Golden Gophers beat Iowa, 28 to 21.
And those two unheraided substitutes, Bill Gay and Johnny Landry, whose running saved the day and Notre Dame as Gay carried it over for the last period touchdown which tamed the Northwestern Wildcat, 12 to 7.
Jimmy Joe Robinson, who ankle for two touchdowns—one on a 100-yard kickoff return—as Pitt upset Purdue. 20 to 13.
Rockingham, N. H.—(UP)—The tombstone of Josiah White, in a local graveyard, is inscribed with the information that when he died at the age of 96 he left 386 descendants.

Sooners Favored To Burst Kansas Big Seven Bubble
Oklahoma was a top-heavy favorite today to pick up the marbles in the 1948 Big Seven football campaign at the expense of Kansas, despite the fact the Jayhawkers still were unbeaten in conference play.
By UNITED PRESS
The Oklahoma-Kansas meeting is set for Lawrence, Kansas, next Saturday. Anything but a clear-cut Oklahoma victory would be downright dumbfounding.
Missouri, with still a mathematical chance for at least a tie, is matched against Nebraska at Lincoln in the other conference game, while Kansas State is booked against Oklahoma $ \textcircled{6} $
Kansas, a four-touchdown favorite, deat K-State its 21st conference loss, and had to put down a Wildcats surge in the second half to turn the trick.
A. & M. at Stillwater, Okla., and Iowa State is slated to meet Arizona at Tucson, Ariz., in other games. Colorado, through for the year in Big Seven competition, will call it a season against Colorado A. & M., at Boulder. Nov. 25.
The quality of the victory left doubt around the circuit that Kansas will escape unscathed when it tangles with Oklahoma next Saturday and then takes on Missouri five days later in a Turkey Day special at Columbia.
Oklahoma added strength to its claim for the championship last Saturday by smothering Nebraska at Norman. Okla. 41 to 14.
A Kansas triumph over Oklahoma and a loss to Missouri would throw the race into a three-way tie, providing Missouri defeats Nebraska this week.
Missouri's 27 to 13 victory over Colorado was made possible only when a fourth-string halftail and a "B" team fullback, Ed Stephens
Again it was Jack Mitchell, Oklahoma's candidate for All-America quarterback honors, who set the terrific pace. Oklahoma cruised most of the way, rolling up 549 yards on the ground and in the air and accumulating 22 first downs.
While Oklahoma was teaching Nebraska the fundamentals, Kansas was sweating out a 20 to 14 victory over poor but surprising Kansas State.
and Bill Houston, fired the tea.0,
The result was four second-ball touchdowns. The game was Colorado's last in loop play and left the club with a 2-3 record for its first season in the Big Seven.
Iowa State's dismal exhibition against the powerful Spartans drew only 8,000 fans, the season's smallest turnout at Ames.
Michigan State completely outclassed Iowa State, 48 to 7, in the latter's non-conference stand at Ames, Iowa. It was Iowa State's fifth loss in nine games and left only Arizona on the Cyclone slate for the season.
