PAGE SIX Trojans, Centrovards Win KDRho, Phi IM Football Phi Epsilon Pi stopped Theta Kappa Phi, the Trojans downed the Marauders, the Centovards beat the McKee 11, and Kappa Delta Rho whitewashed Sigma Phi Alpha as intramural football moved into its second week of play last night at Beaver Field. Phi Epsilon Pi opened! the evening’s activities by eking out a 2-0 win over Theta Kappa Phi in a contest highlighted by heads up defensive play by both squads. A total of seven interceptions— five by Phi Ep, two by Theta Kappa—were recorded. The only score of the game came early in the second half when a center snap sailed over tailback Harvey Nixson’s head and bounced out of the end zone for safety Cohen Leads Attack Phi Ep, led by smooth-running Ted Cohen, showed what little offense there was in the contest but could not buck the stout .de fenses of the losers. The winners blew a scoring op portunity early in the first half when big Sid Ginsberg inter cepted a pass by Larry Johnson on the Theta Kappa 23. Cohen passed to Ginsberg on the 15 and then to Sid Groham on the seven. However two con secutive passes were incomplete and Theta Kappa took over on the 20. Phi Ep kept the losers deep in their own territory throughout the contest on the booming punts of Arnie Rosenthal who was used only for kicking. Trojans Beat Marauders Defensive penalties were the big factors in the Trojans victory over the Marauders, two first downs to nothing. The Mauraud ers handed their opponents their first first-down of the game when two penalties—one a five-yard off-side penalty, the other a 15- yard charging violation—moved the yard sticks another 20 yards. Another 15-yard charging pen alty played an important role in the second first down for the Tro jans as Marty Meer passed seven yards to Dale Syherd for a first and ten on the losers’ 47. Both independent squads, al though showing little along of fensive lines, played superlative defensive ball throughout the contest. Harrison Recovers Fumble The losers had an early scoring opportunity in the first half when Dan Harrison recovered a fum bled punt on the Trojans’ 17, but four consecutive passes fell in complete to end the threat. In the third game of the eve ning, McKee 11 squeezed by a Maryland Tops AP Poll; 3 Lion Foes in Top 12 Maryland, well out in front in the national football ratings after only three games, faces a real battle from here on. It isn’t the battle to win games that troubles Jim Tatum’s mighty Terrapins, but one to avoid being forgotten, The Terps have finished the Missouri, UCLA and Baylor—in a gratifying fashion. From now on they’ll play mostly in their own Atlantic Coast Conference with two outside games that ap parently don’t pose any serious problems. Meanwhile, Michigan, a solid second in this week's Associated Press poll of sports writers and broadcasters, takes on sixth rated Army Saturday, then plunges into the Big Ten title race, where every game is a tough one and each victory makes a big impression. So far Maryland has been suf ficiently impressive in that the Terps garnered 88 of 185 first place votes and a total of 1568 points to Michigan’s 27 firsts and 1223 points. Oklahoma, with 13 firsts and 1146 points, edged out Georgia Tech for third place with Notre Dame, Army, UCLA, Texas Christian, Wisconsin, and Southern California completing the top 10. Oklahoma registered the big ?ra ; .n this week, advancing from ifth r’ace to third on the strength of a 26-14 victory over Ep Score Victories By VINCE CAROCCI hard-fighting Centovard squad, two first downs to one. Both teams failed to get an of fensive move of any type under way, and most of the first half was spent exchanging punts. ‘McKee Scores Ist The McKee squad was the first to strike in the second half when tailback Gerry Cornell passed to Jim Rhodes on the second play of the first half. Bruce Mills then hit Cornell for the first down. The Centovards came fighting back, however, with Bob Kaul intercepting a Cornell pass on the McKee 43.

Winless Virginians Have Potential; Could Explode By HOY WILLIAMS Pre-season anticipation builds to momentous heights for any football team, ancf partic ularly when the squad, its coaches, and its fans think that this “year will be it.” For Virginia, that’s the way the 1955 season opened: Suddenly, however, powerful Clemson scored an opening-day win, 20-7; last week George Washington added a 13-0 defeat. What’s wrong with the Virginians? Personnel losses by graduation were light; the distribution of experienced play-' ers by positions is considered ex cellent by Coach Ned McDonald; and a new sophomore class is re garded as the best Virginia has had in recent years. These three facts .were the' things around which Virginia’s rooters based their hopes. Vir ginia has the potential, but in neither contest could it get its offensive machine rolling. Cavaliers Could Explode The Cavaliers, have the poten tial, they can .explode. If they do explode Saturday in City Sta dium the Penn Staters standing nearby will take most of the vi brating shock. Coach Rip Engle and McDon ald practically have the same problem on their hands in pre paring for Saturday’s tilt at Rich mond. Va.—to get their teams to forget about last weekend’s losses, and concentrate on the coming test. In the Clemson encounter two weeks ago, Virginia’s split-T of fense was nearly stalled as it picked up a mere 116 yards on the ground and was unable to gain a yard through the.air. Bill Clarke, junior quarterback from Richmond, has been giving senior Rives Bailey recent com petition for his job after showing his stuff in the Clemson test when he engineered Virginia’s only touchdown. Rives, replacing Baily who owns two letters and was the team’s leading passer for two years, was .backed by left half Herb Hartwell who helped set up the lone tally with a 63-yard run. McDonald, in addition to giv ing his offense pace-setting prac tice sessions, noted some leaks in his line defense against- Clemson when the Colonial backs rolled for yardage when they needed it to maintain possession. Two sophomores, both well ov er 200 pounds, are expected to carry heavy duty for McDonald Saturday with Hartwell, Clarke, Bailey, and sophomore James Bakhitar to work the backfield.
