Four Score Shutout
Wins in IM Football
By DAVE BRONSTEIN
Four shutouts and the first successful extra
point attempt from placement in ‘modern’ intra
mural history highlighted IM football action last
night on the Beaver Field practice grounds.
The four teams moving into the second round of
tournament play are Alpha Sigma Phi, Dorm 11,
Dorm 22, and Alpha Gamma Rho.
Alpha Sigma Phi scored only one touchdown
in the 30 minutes of fast-moving play, but that
lone score held until the final horn as the
Alpha Sig’s topped Theta Delta Chi, 6 to 0.
The one tally came after a dazzling display of
passing and ball-handling on the part of a tricky
Alpha Sigma Phi backfield.
Winners Use Pass
The winners advanced the ball deep into Theta
Delta Chi territory on a three-way pass, starting
with Don Ferguson and going to Dave Murphy to
Tom Armstrong. Two plays later the ball was
moved to the three-yard line by an end skirt and
a head-on charge.
With four minutes remaining in the first half,
and the ball on the three, Dave Murphy stepped
back and lobbed an easy pass to Harry Brown
who had just enough room to step over for the
touchdown.
First Half Threat
The main threat in the first half by Theta Delta
Chi ended after a first down pass from John
Wagner to Dick Kuhn brought the ball to the
45-yard-line of the Alpha Sigs.
A touchdown by Theta Delta Chi was called
back in the second half when a linesman was
called off-sides. Jerry Olexa had been on the re
ceiving end of the TD pass from John Wagner.
Stan Ziarkowski had the honor of scoring 'the
first extra point from placement after touchdown
in modern IM history as Dorm 11 eeked out a
7 to 0 victory over Dorm 42.
After four minutes had passed in the second

foot wallop into the bleachers in
right center with Yogi Berra on
base in the sixth provided the
late inning insurance the Yanks
needed.
Once again Collins had risen to
the occasion as he did so many
times during the regular season
despite his .234 average. Both
Cleveland and Chicago were beat
en almost single-handedly by
Collins who hit two homers
against each in vital games.
Rain threatened the game early
in the day but a warm sun broke
through a heavy overcast during
the early innings .In the final
stages of the game, thera were
black clouds hanging low, forcing
the lights to be turned on in the
last of the eighth.
Brooklyn rocked Ford, the lefty
who dared to face the heavy
right-handed sluggers of the Dod
gers, and scored two runs in the
second inning on Furillo’s homer
off the top of the four-foot wall
in right field, Robinson’s triple
and Don Zimmer’s single.
The Yanks came right back
with a pair in their half of the
second on a walk to Collins and
Howard’s line drive homer into
the lower stands in left.
Snider gave Brooklyn the lead
again in the third when he smash
ed a 1-2 pitch by Ford deep into
the upper deck in rightfield,
breaking his own National League
Tecord with a sixth World Series
home run.

half, Dorm 11 struck quickly by way of a bulle.t
pass from Vic Rusich to Lou D’Orsaneo. The play
had been set up on an interception by Ziarkowski
on his own 45.
Jim Short did most of the throwing for the
losing Dorm 42 nine; while Bud Seiffert was
credited with recovering two of the opponent’s
fumbles. Van Sickle also stood out on the line
for Dorm 42.
Dorm 22 and Dorm 14 had a passer’s battle,
with end runs added occasionally, but when' the
final tally was in, neither team had scored.
The win was awarded to Dorm 22 after IM
officials had checked the tally sheet and found
that Dorm 14 had failed to score a first down.
Dorm 22 was credited with two first downs.
The line play of both teams was the high point
of the match. Ron Engle and Hank Rudio were
supercharged as they continued to hamper Dorm
14’s running game. For Dorm 14, it was Dick Bell
and Roger Brooks that stood out on the forward
wall.
Dorm 22 had four chances to score from the five
yard line but were held back by a fired-up Dorm
14 line. Reb Hoover placed his team on the five
on a 30-yard pass play to Engle. Hoover lost six
on an end run; a penalty put his team back five
more yards; a third down pass failed, and an at
tempt for a field goal from the 11 failed.
Alpha Gamma Rho scored the night’s fourth
shutout victory by topping stubborn Lambda Chi
Alpha team, 6 to 0. , j '
The scoring play resulted on an interception by
speedy Griffin. Griffin picked off a pass on the
Lambda Chi Alpha 40 and raced to the goal.
The attempt for the extra point failed. *

Once again the Yanks lost no
time in tying it up in their half
of the third on a walk to Ford,
Hank Bauer's single and two suc
cessive infield outs. Ford scam
pered in from third while the
Dodger infield played back and
Zimmer threw out Irv Noren for
the second out.
Slams First Homer
With the game all knotted up
at 3-3, Collins lined his first home
run, four or five rows into the
lower rightfield seats, to lead off
the fourth inning.
Berra singled to right with One
gone in the sixth, his first hit in
three trips, and the final blast
that knocked loose Newcombe
was under way. Collins looked at
one balKand hammered the next
pitch over the head of Snider in
to the bleacher seats in right cen
ter. It must have traveled at least
400 feet, sailing out of sight over
the auxiliary scoreboard.
Newcombe Relieved
Newcombe steadied to get How
ard on a grounder to Reese but
was sent to the showers after Bill
Martin lofted a long fly over the
head of Junior Gilliam in left cen
ter for a triple.
Don Bessent replaced Newcombe
and Stengel sent up Eddie Rob
inson, a lefthanded batter, to hit
for Phil Rizzuto. On the second
pitch, Martin unexpectedly lit out
for home but was nipped at the
plate by Bessent’s throw.
Even with a 6-3 bulge, the

Dorm 22 Wins, 1-0
Field Goal is Failure
Yanks were hard pressed to hold
their advantage in the eighth due
to a damaging error by Gil Mc-
Dougald at third base.
Furillo Hits No. 3
Furillo’s third hit, a single,
started the Dodgers’ dying swan
spurt. Hodges flied out' deep to
Howard but Robinson’s grounder
bounced off McDougald’s leg and
squirted down the leftfield line.
By the time the ball was retriev
ed, Furillo was on third and Rob
inson on second.
Zimmer’s sacrifice fly to Noren
was deep enough to let Furillo
score and also long enough to get
Robinson to third after the catch.
When Walter Alston, Brooklyn
manager, called for Frank Kellert
to bat for Bessent, Robinson pull
ed his sparkling steal. On the first
pitch to Kellert, a righthanded
batter, Jackie streaked for home
and slid in under Ford’s throw.
Berra, Ford and Stengel bitterly
protested the “safe” call by Plate
Umpire Bill Summers, but they
might as well have been yelling
into a rain barrel.
Robinson’s run made it 6-5, with
Kellert representing the tying run
at the plate. After Kellert singled
into center, Stengel came out for
a few tidbits of conversation with
Ford. The crafty “Old Perfesser”
let Ford stay in the game, long
enough to get Gilliam to pop up
for the third out.

Army-Lion Grid Tilt
To Count Heavily
In Eastern Ratings
Penn State’s and Army’s season-long football aspirations of be
ing strong contenders in the race for Eastern honors this year will
go on the line this Saturday at Michie Stadium, West Point, N.Y.
< Although both teams had their early season headaches, each put
on an impressive opening-day start by demonstrating solid offensive
machines both on the ground and in the air. The Lions walloped
BU, 35-0, and Army smothered Furman, 81-0.
Army and Penn State both
popped' up repeatedly in the pre
dictor’s crystal balls two months
ago as being Eastern grid power
houses in 1955, mainly on the
basis of their identical 7-2 records
la'St year.
This game Saturday will decide
who stands where in the Eastern
picture. Defensive strategy by
both coaches will play a para
mount part in the contest.
Last Spring and more recently
this fall, Army Coach Earl Blaik
made radical changes in his front
line in the apparent effort to give
Army a defensive net as strong as
the offensive team that wai No. 1
in rushing in ’54. *
Blaik’s line changes revolved
■nd guards Ralph Chr ikas
ix-
, ‘ Junior Guard
center Dick Stephenson, and cen
ter Ed Szvetecz.
With the apparent gestures of
flipping a coin’as to decide who
should go where, Blaik indicated
that he had the material for each
position on his front wall; but the
problem revolved around the an
gle of who would be. the best
man in each line position.
Blaik first hinted, of moving
Chesnauskas and Goodwin from
their guard positions to tackles,
and Stephenson from tackle to
guard with sophomore Stan Slater
working at the other guard.
In his', opening-day lineup,
against Furman, however, Blaik
came up with this tackle to tackle

lineup: Chesnauskas, left tackle;
Slater, left guard; Szvetecz, cen
ter; Goodwin, right guard; and
Stephenson, right tackle.
At the ends Blaik also has let
termen starting—two of the 15 re
turning to the team with Art
Johnson, a junior, and senior Don
Satterfield.
Blaik’s radical movement of
line personnel can be attributed
to Don Holleder’s step from end
to quarterback plus' the loss of
Army’s first three tackles and
center.
With Chesnauskas, Stephenson,
and _ Goodwin returning with
considerable experience, Blaik
will have to go along with Szve
tecz and Slater in his front wall
although neither has as much
experience as the first three.
In addition to Slater, just up
from the plebe team, and junior
Szvetecz, Blaik will’ depend on
soph Bill Saunders at right end
to back up Satterfield.
Despite the . fact that six of
Blaik’s first-team linemen are let
termen, he still will lack depth to
substitute by units: In his second
team he has only\ former Junior
Varsity and Yearling material,
with only a few having consider
able experience.
. With a front. wall that weighs
in at an "average weight of 195
pounds, Blaik is again expected
to have his notoriously fast de
fensive line.
