Phi Kappa, SEP, PiKAWin;
Dorm 39 Victor on Safety
Three fraternity teams and one independent club kept rolling
right along like Old Man River in intramural football games played
last night. Sigma Phi Epsilon edged Beta Theta Pi on first downs,
3-2. Phi Kappa Sigma, led by Lew Snyder and Guy Tirabassi, rolled
over Alpha Chi Rho in the most lop-sided game of the evening, 28-0.
In other games, the independent
Dorm 39 bumped off the Yum-
Yum's, 2-0, on a last period safety.
Pi Kappa Alpha completed• the
line-up of games, defeating Pi
Kappa Phi, 9-0.
Snyder, Tirabassi Win
Phi Kappa Sigma displayed a
powerful offense in drubbing Al
pha Chi Rho, 28-0. Tailback Lew
Snyder and wingback Guy Tira
bassi combined to complete bet
ter than 10 passes and pick up
150 yards. Tirabassi, the speed
merchant of the pair, scored one
touchdown and passed for an
other. Snyder, on the other hand,
pitched for three more. Tirabassi
kicked two extra points. Snyder
picked up Phi Kappa Sigma's
other points on a first half safety
when he pinned Hugh Cooper
behind the goal.
After Alpha Chi Rho lost the
ball on downs, Snyder and Tira
bassi went into their aerial act
with Tirabassi on the receiving
end for 15. Snyder found the
speed demon again, this time for
26, and moved the ball to the 17.
After an exchange of downs, Sny
der connected with Bob Springer
for 12 yards and a touchdown.
Tirabassi's extra point attempt
was wide
After Mowrey punted to Phi
Kap's 28, the winners pushed
downfield, where Tirabassi took
to the air and spotted Ross Stude
baker in the end zone. Tirabassi
tacked on the point. Phi Kap got
two more points just before the
half ended when Hugh Cooper
was tagged behind the goal by
Snyder.
The winners hit paydirt early
in the second half when Snyder-
Tirabassi passes were good for
22, 16, 18, and 12 yards, the lat
ter for the score. Tirabassi booted
the point after touchdown.
Phi Kap tallied for the last
time when Snyder heaved 12
yards to Joe Captain. Tirabassi
missed the point. Steve Beatty
completed 8 passes for Alpha Chi
Rho.
Paced by Don Capuano's fine
passing, Sigma Phi Epsilon de
feated Beta Theta Pi, three first

downs to two
SPE kicked off and Beta moved'
to the winner's 34 before losing
the ball on downs. With Capuano
in the driver's seat, SPE moved
to Beta's 18 before a Capuano,
pass went awry and SPE took
over. Capuano hit Dick Halton
with a short pass and picked up
another first down. The winners
came close to scoring as Capuano
pitched to Ben Lentz and Hatton
for 26 yards. An intercepted pass
stopped the threat. Beta Theta Pi
picked up a first down when Ed
Miller flipped 16 to Bob Ebert.

'seconds when Capuano located
Jim Moore for 18 yards and their
third first down of the night.
Yum-Yum's Stopped
A second period safety scored
, by Dorm 39 eliminated the Yum-
Yum's from the tourney. After
an exchange of punts, Dorm 39
moved to their opponent's 16. A
fumbled pass thwarted the scor
ing opportunity. Orrin Chew
punted to the 35 and the Yum
'Yum's returned for 10. However,
they lost the ball and the 39ers
drove to the 18, where Ronnie
Blend picked off a Chew pass.

'Blend slipped in the end zone
' for the game winning safety.'
Pi Kappa Alpha whitewashed
Pi Kappa Phi, 9-0, in the final
fracas of the evening. The Al
pha's scored their lone touchdown
when Lloyd Hughes took a punt
and galloped 35 'yards to score.

Virginia line waiting anxiously to
years, but it looks as though he

Hochberg, a 22-year-old Johns
town senior, lit the eyes of the
34,400 capacity crowd at Morgan
town, W. Va., Saturday, by put

' ing exhibitions Lions grid fol
lowers have witnessed in recent
years.
Personally accounting for four
of the five times the Lions were
forced to kick in their 21-7 loss
to the Mountaineers, Hochberg
(lifted the ball for a total of 195
yards—an average of 48.8 yards

"It was just about the best
punting I've seen in the last cou
ple of years," is the way Lion
coach Rip Engle looks at Hoch-
!berg's performance Saturday.
I "It certainly saved our skins,"
Engle confesses. "The score might
have mounted higher if it had not
been for Hochberg," he went on.
"All he did was punt from behind
or near his own .goal line four
times and boot the ball to mid-
Ifield each time."
And that's exactly what Jim
did. The 5' 11" 178-pound quarter
back four times was faced with

sent the Mountaineer safety men
scurrying backwards, frantically
trying to get under the Lion's
long-distance kicks before the rest
of the Penn State gridders, dash

And on one occasion, again
standing deep in his own end zone

WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 2& 1955
Another interesting Ingle con
cerning• Penn state* punting per
formance Saturday, Is that the
Mountaineers were able 'to return
Hochberg's kicks for a' total of
only 15 yards. The fifth Penn
State punt, a beautiful out-of
bounds placement by Bobby
Hoffman, went out on the Moun
taineer' seven. '
Although things looked pretty
grim for the Lion signal-caller
when the Mountaineers snagged
two of his first-period passes, he
turned-in a fine job aside from
his performance as a punter.
Alternating in -the five Penn
State games to date with Hoff
man and Milt Plum, third of the
,Lion quarterbacks, Hochberg has
completed 54 per cent of his
passes—seven of 13. The seven
completions have covered a total
of 138 yards for a 10.6 yard aver
age per attempt.
Jim, although a senior. will
have another year of collegiate
football eligibility remaining
when the Lions close their Cen
tennial season. A dislocated hip
injury, suffered during the early
days of pre-season practice. kept
him from appearing in any games
as a sophamore.
Jim's present post-graduate
plans call for a trip to Minnesota
where he will take graduate study
in his present curriculum, physi
cal therapy.
