McKee 11. by defeating the Cenirovaxd independent team two first downs to one. remains in the IM independent race. The Cenlrovard squad, in ac cordance to IM rule which eliminates each team as it loses, has been eliminated. The extra point try from place ment was low. The Strokers scored their lone three-pointer on a field goal from 11 yards out by Tom Sarnecky. Lou Prato started the Strokers on their scoring play by inter cepting a wild Hams’ pass on the Hams’ 45 and racing to the 40. Three pass completions gave the Strokers a first down on the 11. Don DeJoseph, who despite the rain was a threat with his long passes, charged between tackle and end to place the football on the 7. Two short pass attempts failed. On fourth down, the Strokers lined up on the 11 for a field goal try and Sarnecky made good. Sarnecky had kicked an early field goal but a penalty nullified the play. Dean McCartney and Mclntyre, showed well for the Hams. Dave Hichie and Chuck Agnew also stood out. The final score was the Hams 6, the Strokers 3. By the second game of the night, the field especially around the 50-yard line—had be come conspicious with water pud dles. The ball was passed more often despite its slipperyness. Delta Chi lost a heart-breaker to Alpha Chi Sigma, 1 to 0. The first half was a scoreless battle. The ball remained deep in Alpha Chi Sigma territory throughout the period’s 15 min utes. Fred Evans and Gene Banker combined to push back the Alpha team. Banker was on the catch ing end of an early game first down pass. An aerial from Evans to Bill McMurray gave the Delta Chi nine in their second and last first down, of the night. The second half was a complete reversal of the first. Alpha Chi Sigma twice was knocking on the Delta Chi TD zone. Each time the losers stood up and unyield ingly held ground.- In the Alpha Chi Sigma drive was two first downs. Joe Nock passed for both of the game-tying first downs. With the game tied at two first downs for each team, each team was given three overtime plays to attempt to advance the ball as far as possible in the other’s territory. Delta Chi had first opportunity with the ball and moved 15 yards on a pass from Evans to Dan James. The Alphas picked up 10 yards in their first play. Delta Chi was 11 yards in Al pha Chi Sigma territory after a pass nlay going from Evans to Banker. The super- By DAVE BRONSTEIN charged Alphas suddenly came back with the clincher. Nock slipped past one driving Delta Chi lineman, started to run to his right, and struck sharply with a pass to Fred Miller. Mil ler was four yards deep in Delta Chi ground. On Delta Chi’s final attempt to make up the four yards, an on-rushing linesman broke through the offense and tagged the loser’s ball carrier. Ray Carpenter and Jack Bash charged hard throughout most of the night for Alpha Chi Sigma. The winners played with the same starting nine during the 30- minute game in the rain. Bob Archibald, Bill Hastings, Bob Benson and Bob Pray played a strong game for the losing Delta Chi’s. Virginia Has Fullback, 20 By ROT WI ELI AMS Virginia is no Army when it comes to football power. But the Cavaliers do have 20 lettermen returning; a fast, powerful fullback and linebacker in a sparkling sophomore; and a heavy line. That’s why Lion head coach Rip Engle is laying his Saturday afternoon strat egy just as cautiously as when the Lions were ready to take on Army. Virginia has dropped two. That’s where it stops according to Lion assistant coach Tor Toretti who scouted the Cavaliers against George Washington Saturday. I “Virginia has potential. Against George Washington it couldn’t get a sustained drive going because of bad breaks, fumbles, and penalties,” Toretti explained. Toretti went on to explain how misleading comparative scores can be: “Georgia beat Virginia, 20-7, but the Cavaliers managed to lead 7-6 during part of the game. Clemson was the same team that stopped Georgia four touchdowns to one, and Georgia is one of the better teams in Southeastern Conference. Offensively, Toretti said, Vir ginia has the horses but hasn’t j been able to get them pulling I in the same direction. Feature ’Belly Series* “Virginia features the ‘belly series’ with the fake to the half back, and we can’t disregard 'that.” Toretti said. With Jim Bakhtiar, of Abadan, jlran, running the fullback slot Virginia has another potential threat. The 6-1, 205-pound sopho more, has been rated by Virginia hopefuls as being the best all round fullback the Cavalier’s have had in years. They expect 'him to be their most valuable jback since Bill.

Jenkins saw limited action in ’54, but won a letter as a sopho more and showed good progress in spring practice.
