I-M Football Begins; Sigma Chi High Scorer
The 1947 intramural football season opened Monday with twelve teams matching strength and strategy for gridiron honors. Margins of victory ranged from two to 77 points.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon scored a and Sigma Chi displayed terrific points while their foe Alpha Kappa Lambda, went scoreless. Phi Kappa Psi blanked Pi Kappa Alpha. 18-0. Other results are: Phi Delta Theta 7, Delta Chi 0; Phi Gamma Date 12, Triangle 0; Beta Theta Pi 13, Phi Kappa 0.
Rosenfield and Thompson led the Sig Alphs in their victory over the Blanks. However, a Sig Alph broke through the Blanks' forward wall to tag the ball carrier for a safety and chalk up the game's only score.
Although the Sig Alphs dominated play most of the game they were unable to muster a scoring threat until late in the fourth quarter. With the ball only seven yards from the Blank's goal line, their drive was halted.
Playing from the "T" again this season, the Sigma Chi offensive was not handicapped by the new clear pass rule, and they scored at will.
Joe Connelly and "Chuck" Wagstaff t a l l i e d four touchdowns each to lead Sigma Chi in a 7-70 out of Alpha KappaLambda.
Williams who started at quarterback for the Sigma Chi's, handled most of team's passing chores. Clark, Shockey, Connelly, Wagstaff and Vogel consistently snagged his aerials.
An alert Phi Kappa Psi forward wall trapped Pi Kappa Alpha ball carriers behind their goal line twice near point in the Phi Psi 18-0 triumph.
In the opening minutes of the game Scott Kelly handed the ball to Bob Mercer on a fake reverse, and Mercer scooted around left end for the zame's first tally.
In the second period Bill Cava-
naugh grabbed a 35 yard pass from
the final touchdown. Both con-
versions were good.
A Pi KA. scoring threat appeared in the third quarter when Gene
Bradley intercepted a Phi Psi pass and scampered 50 yards to the 10 yard line. In four downs, however, the Pi, K.A.'s were unable to cross the double stripe.
On a sleeper play the only Phi Delt touchdown was scored on a pass from Harris, C. D. Williams inverted to end the game's scoring.
Harris, Powell and McIlrath did the tossing for the Phi Deltas, but Bransfield led by Bransfield, prevented scoring with their pass defense work.
Featuring the passing of Dryden and Porter, Phi Gamma Delta, defending champions, proved too strong for the Triangle eight as they chalked up a 12-0 victory.
Two touchdown passes by Schwanzle winkle Geta Theta Pi a 13-0 victory over Phi Kappa. Schell was on the receiving end of both tosses.
Schwanzle set the stage for the first score when he intercepted a Phi Kappa forward near mid-field late in the second quarter. After a series of successful passes, Schwanzle connected with Schell from the 15-yard line for six points. After the second touchdown Bill Jones, whose first attempted conversion failed, made good his second try.
The first tally came when Shields of the Phi Gams got under a ball that had bounced off the fingers of a Triangle backfield man. On the next play Porter lateralled to Shields who tossed a touchdown pass to Hinsaw. Holliman, Triangle center, broke up the attempted extra-point. Dryden connected with Binter for the second tally. This time Thomas blocked the conversion attempt.
Dodger, Yankee Defenses Not Their Strong Points
The Triangles threatened in the last quarter when Hyde passed to Thelen on the Phi Gam ten-yard line, but Binter intercepted a pass on the next play to halt the march.
Defensive strength is usually the least important of the baseball skills in World Series competition, but it is diamond history that numerous classics have been lost because of one fielding boner. In this year's Series, there is little advantage for other team in the ball-handling department.
New York also holds a slim edge at first and third. George McQuinn is recognized as one of the fanciest first sackers of all time, and must be rated over freshman Jackie Robinson. The latter has all the speed of youth, but McQuinn can top that in experience and finesse. Bill Johnson, crack Yankee third baseman, has a better arm than Johnny Jorgenson and is also rated deadlier on ground balls.
But the Bums are great through the middle of the infield, which is where it counts most. Both managers will swear by their respective keystone combinations. Stanky-Reeze for the Dodgers and Stirnsew-Rizzuto for the Yanks, and it seems to be a toss-up. However, the Dodger defenss, sparked by Stanky and Reese, led the National league in
The big Yankee asset in the field is the incomparable Joe DiMaggio, who can throw, run, and gather in the high ones from his centerfield spot as ably as the all-time greats. His presence gives the American leaguers' outfield the defensive edge over Furillo, Reiser, and Walker of the Dodgers. With ex-fast ball pitcher Lindell and Tommy Henrich, the Yank trio have decidedly better arms, and they also get the nod in speed. Steady Dixie Walker has slowed up, and Furillo lacks the speed to be an outstanding flychaser. Pete Reiser is one of the fastest men in baseball, but he is no DiMaggio in the middle garden.
McQuinn Tops Robinson
double plays with close to 170, about 20 more than the Yank infield turned in. This is an excellent basis for comparing the rival second-short combinations, and the Bums' pair get the vote on their two-ply go
Two Men Injured In Opening Games
The intramural football season
every week is the fractured
clavicle by brain.
James Hubbard, Engineering sophomore, suffered a concussion while playing football and was admitted to Watkins hospital. William Reilly, College freshman, was treated for a fractured clavicle at Watkins hospital and was later released.
Oklahoma To End Fieldhouse Work
Norman, Oklahoma. _Completion of the University of Oklahoma fieldhouse, raising the present basketball seating capacity from 5,000 to 10,000 is scheduled to start some time next year. The structure will have a new $40,000 press box and a $3,500 electrical scoreboard.
Dr. George Cross, president of the University of Oklahoma, told the Norman Rotary club last week that these three projects, all of them dear to the hearts of Sooner sports fans, were on the university's immediate building agenda.
Former Professor Goes To Rutgers
Joseph Taggart, former Business School professor, has joined the school of business administration at Rutgers university in Newark, N. J.
Professor Taggart came to the University in 1928. He entered government service in 1941 as an economist and business consultant in the department of commerce.
CORE To Meet Wednesday
the committee on Racial Equality will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at 1614 Kentucky street, chairman Frank Stannard said today.
Asbestos is mined in Canada, Vermont, Georgia, Wyoming, Virginia, South Carolina and in Staten Island, N. Y.
Yank Catchers Weak
Bruce Edwards is often called the backbone of the Brooklyn defense, and will carry a decided advantage over Yank backstops Berra and Aaron Robinson. Neither Yank catcher can match Edwards' throwing arm, and a catcher must be an expert at this art when manager Tim McCarver menace base. The Yanks have a defensive weakness this is it. The footwear Dodgers may capitalize on it in a manner reminiscent of Ty Cobbs base-stealing exhibition many World Series ago, and Pepper Martin's spree against Mickey Cochrane the year he broke in with the Gas House Gang.
