Upsets Highlight Week; Intramural Football Games by Al Lopus Sports Reporter This week was a bad week for the undefeated teams in in tramural football. Three (3) teams who were previously undefeated before this week have all. been upset. First to fall was the faculty, who lost to the Mystics, and then the Perry Esquires upset the Bud Brigade in a tough overtime game. Lastly, the Commuting Com mando overturned the Trojan Rubber Company in a close 4-3 contest. Currently, both dorm and commuter leagues are knotted up in a close, exciting finish. In the dorm league the Trojan Rubber Company is tied with the Mystics in losses, but the Mystics still have a tough game vs. the Woman's Viewpoint Strategic Kick-off by Pam Babcock Sports Writer You may find this hard to believe, but the game of football involves more than rum and coke. How much more, I'm not really . sure. But neither are the football players. Football is actually a very simple game. There are two teams of eleven men -each, two goals at opposite ends of a striped field and one ball. The object of the game is to grab the ball and run all the way to the other team's goal and make a touch down. Simple. But - the guys decide to confuse the game with all kinds of penalties, signals and formations so that we co-eds wouldn't be able to understand. The trouble is that not many guys can understand it either. Right now, I'd like to tell you about the most foolish part of the game - the beginning. The game is started with a kickoff, which Bud Brigade. The commuting league is in the same situation. Both the Bud Brigade and the Commuting Commandos have one loss leaving the Brigade with a season game left. Attendance has been a large factor at the games. Trouble has arisen, however, because the fans are crowding along the side of the field during, the games. This makes it very difficult for a teams' organization of sub stitutes. It would be appreciated if these fans would stay within the standing room only zones. When asked about bleachers for this fastly growing sport, Coach Clarence Stoner, who won't admit he got his hair cut, didn't make any promises. YOUR CANDIDATE R. GORDON KENNEDY happens something like this: The kicking team lines up across the field. The other team is spread suspiciously over its half of the field. While' everyone gapes at him, the kicker picks his favorite spot in the grass to place a tee. He then places the ball on the tee, and after considerable theatrics, he proceeds to kick the ball. Well, by now, the whole world knows what he plans to do! When he finally kicks the ball, the other team is so prepared that they catch the ball before the kicker has time to get his kicking foot back in non-kicking position. Just like the strategy used by the British in the Revolutionary War. They wore bright red coats, stood out in the open, and then wondered why they lost. Really, now...we women know the only way you win in love and-or war is by being very, very subtle. Too bad the guys haven't learned this yet. Well, fans, excitement is mounting, so come down to the Behrend Arena for the greatest football on campus. Cham pionship game is scheduled for Wednesday. November 3, so well see you there.
