Three Win in IM Football
4th Contest
Postponed
Due to Rain
Phi Delta Theta, Alpha Chi
Rho, and Pi Kappa Phi opened
the 1955 Intramural touch
football tourney with shutout
victories last night on the
practice turf at Bearer Field.
The game between Chi Phi
and Sigma Alpha Mu was
postponed because of rain.
Phi Delta Theta, defending IM
football champions, downed Phi
Kappa Psi 6-0 in a game high
lighted by an iron-wall defensive
performance .by the winners in
the last seconds of the game.
Both teams failed to gain much
yardage until midway through
the first half when Phi Delta
Theta gained possession on its
own 40.
Frank DiSalle, Phi Delta tail
back, then proceeded to take his
club in hand. He immediately be
f;an to shower the air with passes,
irst to Bob Young—his favorite
target throughout the game—and
then to Bill Stoddart. -
Young Scores
The victors moved to the 15 on
two plays when DiSalle pitched
out to Stoddard who passed to
Young for the touchdown. The
extra point attempt failed and
the score stood 6-0.
Phi Psi was far from finished,
however. Led by the passing of
Tom Haley and the receiving of
John Spangle and Joe Lizzul, the
losers rolled to the eight yard
line in the second half only to
haVe the Phi Delta Theta defense
tighten and fake possession on
downs.
Last Thrust
Phi Kappa Psi made its last
offensive thrust of the evening
with two minutes remaining in
the game. It moved to the. win
ners’ six on Haley’s passes, but
Phi Delt rose up to the occasion
as a fourth down pass fell in
complete- and the clock ran out.
Alpha Chi Rhd, sparked by the
two-man performance of Steve
Baidy and Hugh Cooper, scored
a touchdown with 75 seconds left
to play to defeat a hard-fighting
Sigma Chi team, 6-0.
Baldv Stars -•
It was ' Biddy •throwing and
Cooper catching from the open
ing kick-off. However, the Sigma
Chi defense tightened whenever
the situation called for it and the
half ended 0-0.
Sigma Chi made its only of
fensive threat early in the first
half when Jim Holmes intercept
ed a Baidv pass on -the Alpha Chi
Rho 15. After three consecutive
passes fell short of their mark,
Ed Lenam’s attempted field goai
was no good and the winners
gained possession on their own
20.

Yanks Favored Despite Mantle Injury
NEW YORK, Sept. 27 (#) —Mickey Mantle remained a doubt
ful starter and the weatherman predicted aj'chance of showers” for
today’s opening game of the sixth New York*-Brooklyn Dodger World
Series, at Yankee Stadium.
Despite a gloomy statement from Mantle that he was ‘‘not hope
ful of playing in the Series—at
least in the first game or two at
the stadium”—the Yanks remain
ed a strong 13-10 favorite in man
to-man betting to take the best
of-seven set. The opening game
price was 6 to 5 with the Yanks
favored.
Mantle tested his injured right
leg in a brief workout at Ebbets
Field today. “It doesn’t affect my
hitting at all,” he said, “but it
| hurts, when .I try to run.”.
Manager Casey Stengel was
not present at the Yank work
. out in the enemy park but he
has indicated he would use Irv
Noren, a lefthanded 'hitter, in
centerfield if the switch-hitting
Mantle is unavailable. Elston
Howard probably will be in
left, and Phil Rizsuto at short,
the other doubtful positions.
In the event of a postponement,
the entire schedule would be
pushed back with No. 1 tickets
good for Thursday at the stadium.
Commissioner Frick would make
the decision of any postponement
after a conference with officials
of the home club.
Carl• Furillo, Dodger right
fielder, missed his second
straight workout, due to a head
cold and a touch of sinus.
However, the club doctor has
assured Alston that Furillo will
be ready to play in the opener.
The Dodgers can't understand
why the Yanks are favored be
cause Stengel's pitching staff
leans heavily to the lefthanded
side and the Brooks have a rep
utation for murdering lefties.
In fact, only one southpaw,
Louis Arroyo of St. Louis, went
the route against them all sea
son while they were romping to
the pennant by a 13% game mar
gin. However, the Dodgers were
only 5-6 against lefties, counting
reliefers and starters who didn’t
last.
Outing Club Plans

The Penn State Outing Club
will hold its third outing of the

Alpha Chi, Rho back then passed
to Larry Metzger for the score
and the victory.
In the final game of the even
ing, Pi Kappa Phi eked out a 2-0
victory over Delta Tau Delta.
Hopidxts Tags Bullock
Stan Hopkins tagged Bob Bul
lock in the end zone after DTD
had intercepted a Ron Rainey
pass on the two-yard line. ,
Bullock put on a one man show
as he ran and passed beautifully
in a losing cause. The DTD back
ripped off gains of seven and
eight yards several times.
But it was the hard charging
defenses of Pi Kappa Phi that
told the story. The victors line
continually forced Bullock to
hurry his passes, four of which
were intercepted by alert Pi Kap
backs.
