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.

ning, McKee 11 squeezed by a

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.

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. Bob Stadel passed
to Ted Lerch on the 33 and Bob
Kaul found Terry McDevitt all
alone on the McKee 12 to tie the
first downs at one each.
Stadel Misses Marks
Four Stadel passes were in
complete,and the winners took
over with 1:45 remaining in the
game.
Cornell went around end for 10
yards and then passed to Tom

down as time ran out.
In the final game of the eve
ning, Kappa Delta Rho defeated
Sigma Phi Alpha 13-0. Bob Dan
kayin and Stan Cheslock spear
headed the victors attack.
Cheslock scored the first touch
down of the evening when he
caught a pass from George Simp

extra point.
The second KDR score came oh

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.
