Between
the Lions
s- with
The Sports Editor
s That the sudden ending to the in
> tramural football tournament did not
prove anything very decisively must
be apparent to anyone who can con
ceive of a game’s being decided by
. the number of yards gainecf in two
inches'of snow in six extra-period
tries. To say that no decision would
ri have been better than' so indecisive
a one as was necessary when the
m’" gome, was played under the condi
tions that prevailed Sunday is'not
*' casting any reflections on the credit
.and glory naturally due the winners.
. Any team that can wade through all
opposition to enter the finals must
deserve commendation. But, we can
not help but feel that ending the tour
ney in a - co-championship would have
. been fairest under the circumstances.
. Although the, press, generally, has
passed the Lions by in its recognition
of outstanding players of last fall,
those men who actually played against
the Lions turn in a far different ver
dict Captain “Spike” Collins was
picked for a halfback post on Col
gate’s all-opponent team, while Cap
tain-elect Slusser and, “King” Cole,
‘by ten out of eleven votes, were*
'named to An interest-
fact about the Colgate selection
■■ of Captain Collins is .that he was the
• ; only man named to contest the right
of the famous Chase of Brown to the
quarterback post.

This and That
Appointment of Temple's new football
coach not only stirred up aiot of dis-

“The lineup for the 1933 basketball
team won’t be definitely settled until
after the pre-season practice game
with Lock Haven State Teachers Col
lege on December 30,” replies Coach
Spike Leslie to any request for a first
string lineup.
• Even though the Lion court aspir
ants have had ample opportunity to
show what they are capable of doing,
Leslie will not yet make a final do-,
cision-as to the team that will oppose
Susquehanna in Recreation, hall Wed
nesday, January 4.’ “Anything can
happen in that length of time,” he
says.
Moser Still Absent
Quite a number of things are hold
ing up Spike’s final decision but the
major reasons for further delay seem
to be Walt Moser and the much-need
ed center. Walt is still absent from
daily practice drills and will probably
not be seen in the squad rbnks until
the basketeers return from their va
cation period on Wednesday, Decem
ber 28.
When Walt does return, it is doubt
ful if he will break into .the lineups
of the opening games. For one thing,
it is rumored that he is still nursing
the bad knee he acquired last season,
and then again, .he’ll probably be a bit
out of condition after his protracted
absence from practice. As things
stand now, Norry McFarlane and
Dave Thomas seem to be Spike’s best
‘bets for the forward berths.
Center Post iit Doubt
. The center assignment is still knot
ting Spike’s eyebrows. Wittum and
Henning • are fighting nip 'and tuck
for the assignment while Moore is an
other possibility ready to step in at
most any time. Henning has been
number one center in recent scrim
mages. Although he usually takes
the tap from Wittum, Carl has the
speed to outplay him in actual scrim
mage.
•'As far as guards are concerned,
Leslie seems pretty set on a combin
ation of Conn and 'McMinn.' Jack
Meyers, nevertheless, is likely to play
quite a bit in this department before

WINS FINAL GAME
BY 21 YARD MARGIN
Alpha Chi Rho Eleven Loses in
Overtime To’Uch Football w
, Contest Sunday
Gaining ten yards from scrimmage
while its opponent lost eleven in an
extra.' period; Sigm'a-Phi Epsilon de
feated Alpha -Chi' Rho by a yardage
gain of twenty-one yards and an of
ficial score of-6-to-0 to gain the intra
mural football championship Sunday
afternoon.
Handicapped by over two inches of
snow that covered the field, and a
soggy, ice-laden ball, both teams were ;
unable- to display consistent running!
or passing attack. Play see-sawed j
back and forth in the middle of the I
field for the greater part of the con-j
test, with neither team receiving a real!
scoring opportunity.
Teams Evenly Matched
The two teams played on even terms
until the extra period,. Alpha Chi Rho
dominating the'first half play while
the victors drove as far as the Alpha
Chi Rho twenty-five yard line one or
two occasions. . Both ‘elevens were
forced to resort to punting after their
offensive thrusts had been blocked by
stubborn defensive play on the part
of their opponents. ’
i In .six overtime downs, Alpha Chi
Rho lost eleven yards on running
plays and two attempted passes, Pfoor
to Millington, were grounded. Sigma
Phi Epsilon resorted to running plays
and Keith Parks, quarterback, hit the
Alpha Chi Rho line six times for short
gains that netted ten yards and the
championship.

Twenty-seven spectators jammed necessary when a member of the los-
New Beaver field Sunday afternoon in ing team bumped into one of his own
the great Wash Bowl game which de- punts on his way down the field and
eided the winner in the race for the {was comfortable for several minutes,
intramural football crown. j He regained consciousness, however,
.after a local doctor was called from
his Nome and applied salt treatments
to melt the icicles which had formed
in the wound.
Long before the game started; in
fact long before it was even sched
uled to be held (They decided to play
it off at 2 o’clock -Sunday afternoon)
the crowd started pouring‘in. One
spectator was -observed entering the
stands at 1:47 o'clock and two more
joined the rush for seats at 2:02
o’clock.
Two pre-game casualties were re
corded. One field-linesman froze to
death after becoming lost in the snow
j near the fifty-yard line, while another
1 of the spectator's was stricken with
J snow-blindness in a search for the |
goal-posts. The referee was reported
{to have frozen one of his hands before
: tongs were secured ,with which to
handle the ball in the second quarter.
From then on the game took on the
aspect of a tong war.
Five members of the winning team
were reported to have had two sum
mers' experience as icemen while the
losers could muster only three who
had had the same educational back
ground. They evened the tide of
battle, however, by sliding into the
fray an end who once had a relative
living near Hudson Bay.
•Between the halves, ‘the crowd
gathered around several small fires
that were started in the west stands
and, in the absence of the usual band
formations, compared footprints to
see which man on the field .had the
biggest ‘feet. Head Linesman Flood
won out over' Referee Brewster, al
though his wrestling tactics in using
a toehold were questioned by two for
mer Bucknell students, and lusty boo
ing resulted.
