Phi Gam's To Battle Sig Alph's
Fiji's, Alph's Nip Foes In Overtime Semi-final Tilts
By CLINT KANAGA
Amid intensive mud and rain, Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon staged thrilling overtime victories yesterday afternoon to defeat their respective touch football rivals, Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta. The Sig Alph's and Phi Gam's, division champions, were favored to meet for the title at the beginning of the tournament.
Both teams achieved their victories as a result of a special intramural ruling. In case of a tie at the end of a playoff contest, the two contesting teams are each given five offensive plays. The team gaining the most yardage is awarded the game. Dramatic Phi Gam Victory
Never has there ever been a more dramatic victory than that of the Phi Gam's over the Beta's. At the end of the regular playing time, the two elevens were deadlocked 6 to 6. The Beta's, underdogs of the contest, gathered a total of 11 yards in their extra five downs. In the first four Phi Gam downs not a yard was gained although two long passes were dropped.
One down left, and a probable intramural title at stake. Dick Reid, outstanding back this year, calmly faded back, surveyed the field cooly, and then fired a 30 yard pass to Bill Bevan who made a successful leaping catch. Bevan's catch gave the Phi Gam's their eighth consecutive triumph of the year.
Beta's Come Back
The Phi Gam's scored first on a touchdown pass, Reid to Bevan, after a long aerial to Olson had put the Fiji's in scoring position. The Beta's came back in the second quarter, tallying on a 10 yard heave from Geiger to Litttooy. The remainder of the game was a punting duel between Reid and Stoland, Beta end.
The Sig Alph-Phi Delt battle ended in a 0 to 0 draw. Neither team had the necessary scoring punch although both outfits threatened on several occasions. A long pass from Harp to B. Ewers gave the Sig Alph's high hopes at one time but they failed to follow up their opportunity. Newcomer, Phi Delt, passed to Jim Walker twice in a row to put the ball within 15 yards of the goal but the Phi Delt attack bogged down. In the overtime session, the Sig Alph's gathered 16 yards to seven for the Phi Delt's.
Weather Will Keep Women From Game
Rain, cold weather, and pressing Friday assignments have taken their toll and only 24 women have signified their intention of attending the Missouri-Kansas game in Columbia tomorrow.
Closing hours for women attending the game have been extended to 12:30 a.m., Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, adviser to women, announced today.
Jayhawker Eleven Ready--key them.
A large portion of tomorrow's spotlight will fall on two first-year backs, Don Pollom of Kansas and Harry Ice of Missouri. Each is a swivel-hipped sprinter, capable of scoring from any point on the field.

Mount Oread early this morning with a large crowd of students braving the rain and mist at 10:30 to participate in the customary pre-game pep rally. All Roads Lead to Columbia
Tomorrow, all roads will lead to Columbia as Jayhawk and Tiger fans trek towards the scene of the BIG GAME of the season so far as citizens of Kansas and Missouri are concerned.
The two teams opened hostilities back in 1891 at old Exposition park in Kansas City and have met on the gridiron every year since save 1918. Twenty-four victories hang on the Kansas ledger and 17 rest on the Missouri side. Seven games have resulted in ties.
As the opposing elevens prepare to battle before an expected 25,000 fans, for the Indian tom-tom trophy, symbolic of the Kansas-Missouri rivalry, the Tigers must be installed as heavy favorites.
Thus far this season, Don Faurot's Bengals have swept to five victories as against three defeats, while the Jayhawks have managed to avoid a complete season of reverses only by their early-season victory over the Drake Bulldogs.
Bengals Have Won Five
Mizzou is riding at present in third place in the Big Six standings. The
Kansas eleven is mired in the basement, and only a triumph in the Missouri game combined with the expected Kansas State loss to Nebraska could help them improve their position.
Both Elevens Ready
Both teams are primed for the season's biggest game. Kansas spirit jumped overnight with the news that Don Pierce, great Jayhawk center and almost unanimous choice for an all-conference will, be able to play tomorrow despite a twisted ankle. The Tigers, smarting from their defeat at the hand of Oklahoma last Saturday, intend to make their final game of the season a victory.
Among the many sidelights of tomorrow's struggle will be the last appearance in Tiger stripes of perhaps the greatest player in Missouri's history — All-American "Pitching"

Several Tigers Have Injuries
Missouri goes into the game with several injuries, while the Jayhawks, save for Pierce, and Quido Massare who is bothered by a knee injury, appear to be at full strength. Darold Jenkins, Don Greenwood, Ralph Carter, Jerry Notowitz, and Bob Brenton head the Bengal casualty list. However, the return of Myron Council, hard-driving backback who starred against Kansas last year, compensates in part for the loss of other key men.

Finalists Rated As Pre-Season Grid Favorites
Friday afternoon at 4:30 Phi Gamma Delta opposes Sigma Alpha Epsilon for the intramural football championship of 1940. Both teams have impressive records. The Phi Gam's won the Division I title while the Sig Alph's led Division II.
A quick look at comparative records. Both teams have achieved eight straight victories. The Phi Gam's have rolled up a total of 120 points against their opponents' 6. The Sig Alph's have a point total of 106 to their opponents' 23.
Both Conquer Poi
Both Conquer Phi Psi'
A comparison of scores finds that the Phi Gam's turned back the Phi Psi's in the first round of the play-offs 12 to 0 while the Sig Alph's defeated this same team 13 to 0 during the regular season.
Both teams have had rough days. The Phi Gam's eked out a 7 to 6 decision over A.T.O. while the Sig Alph's had to score in the last three minutes to down the Sigma Nu's 12 to 7.
As to the individual makeup of the two teams, both have standout stars. In Harp and Hamilton, the Sig Alph's have two crack backs. Kelechner, Wilson, and Ewers are high class pass-snaggers while Ziegelmeyer and Gage spark a hard-charging line.
Reid Stars In All Departments
For the Phi Gam's, none outshine Dick Reid. In all phases of the game —passing, running kicking, and generalship—Reid is tops. Olson and Bevan, Fiji wingmen, are the best pair of ends in the intramurals Smith and Sherer rate high as blocking backs. Yankey, Reeder, Long, nad others make up a high class front line.
The two teams have records nearly identical. The game should be rated as a tossup.
