Moodies Defeat ATO, Win Hill Championship
For the first time in intramural history, an independent team has captured the A team hill championship. Moodies edged Alpha Tau Omega, fraternity winner, 13-12 Wednesday to claim that honour.
The game was closely played all the way with ATO claiming a 6-0 lead at halftime. Jim Trombold threw to Dale Gulledge from two yards out for a touchdown early in the second quarter.
Moodies evened things in the third quarter when quarterback Tom Slaymaker, passing from his own end zone, hit Fuzzy Martin with a 50-yard pass and Martin romped in with the score. The play covered 70 yards and gave Moodies a 6-6 tie.
Moodies began a march late in the final period, but were stopped near the ATO goal line when an alert ATO defense intercepted a pass. Moodies stymied the ATO attack and forced a kick. Bill Howard dropped back to punt for ATO, and on the snapback was rushed badly. He barely got the ball away as it slid off the side of his foot and went out of bounds on the ATO 15-yard line.
However, ATO roared right back and, with Jim Trombold throwing, marched in for another score. The payoff pitch was a 45-yard pass from Trombold to Bill Howard. ATO missed their second attempt at an extra point, which later cost them the ball game.
Moodies took two cracks at the touchdown before Tom Slaymaker, with the ball on the 2-yard line, passed to Bob Preston for the second Moodies' score. With the ball game riding on the extra point, Harry Solder kicked the ball through the uprights and Moodies had themselves a Hill championship.
Intramural football records date back to 1931, and since that time no independent A team has won the football championship.
