Sy vngcE CAHOCCI
Phi Gamma Delta, Irvin Hall, and . Navy advanced to the semi-final round of the Intra 2
mural football tourney last night.
Phi Gam, sparked by the passing
.wizardry of Chuck Christiansen, -scored three first
downs while stopping Delta -Sigina Phi from reaching paydirt to ;pan a 141 victory.
Phi Gam struck with lightning-like rapidity the first time it got its hands on the ball.
Christiansen,-running wide to his
right, hit Terry Hutton with a
pass, moving the ball-to the losers'
45 for a first down.
On the next playthe Phi Gain
tailback tossed to bon Ferguson
who passed to Bob Brookman•for
another first on the Delta. Sig 20.
Marty liambrick stopped the
Phi Gam •march as he intercepted
Christiansen's • mad pass . on thb
four-yard line.
With. time running out in
the• second period, - Christiansen
passed to Frank McFadden for
the third first down. Beautifully
sidestepping two . on-rushing Del
ta Sig defenders, the `Phi 'Gam
tailback fit McFadden with a 30-
yard aerial as time ran out.
Irvin Whoa
Irvin Hall whitewashed . the

it meets Syracuse Saturday before what is expected to .be the second capacity Beaver
Field crowd of the Centennial season. Navy was sold ,out, and Pitt, the finale, makes

three home sellouts. To add to this, customers will .. get an added treat when more than 4000
high school band members .participate in the annual half-time band show .
The game, the always-colorful[

five-year contract after, finishing
a six-year stint 'with SyraCuse,
has worked his unbalanced wing-'

total of 114 points in five games.
_With a 3-2 record to date.
Syracuse has defeated Boston
University. 27-12; Army. 13-0.
and previously unbeaten Holy
Cross. 49-9. Pitt dropped the
Orange in the season-opener.
22-12. and Maryland inflicted
the second loss, 34-13.
With sixteen lettermen return
ing this year after posting a 4-4
card in 1954, Schwartzwalder is
out to do what has been denied
Syracuse for 21 years—win on
Beaver Field.
With the series at lb-12 for Penn
State, Syracuse holds the edge in
the scoring this year with 114 in
five games to the Lions' 109 in
six. The Orange also has the ad
vantage on defense, giving up on
ly 77 points to 97 by Penn State

The evening's scoring was held

problems. Developing a passing
attack (the Orange hit on only 23
of 'Bl in \'s4) with Ed Albright at
the flipping slot has been the
' paramount problem. This year Al-
bright has hit on 10 of 15 for two
touchdowns and a net gain of 173
yards.
Albright sat out the Boston U.
game after fracturing his hand
against Pitt. He has, played in the
Jut three games. Albright of
Reading, was replaced by Ferd
Kuczala, sophomore. also from
Reading.
The center problem also was a
Syracuse headache when Paul
Slick graduated to cause a dou
ble-barreled loss. In addition to
his center duties Slick backed up
the line with fullback Bill Wet
zel who also graduated.
Pete Schwert, senior 210
pousider who stands 8-4, was
switched in spring practices
from left end to center in one
of Schwartswalder's experi
m:ntal changes.
In addition to getting a more
dangerous passing attack started
the Orange evidently have man
aged to solve another problem—
that of a more balanced ground
attack (last year it averaged 230
yards per game).
In the backfield, a three-man

the second score in two minutes
of play.
An intercepted pass again re
sulted in another Navy score.

touchdown. The play covered 92

yesterday.

Brown, successor to Rickey, em
phatically labelled Bragin as a
"Brown man" and said he will
stake his record. as general man
ager on Bragan's performance
with the team.
Rickey wasn't at the news con
ference,, and reportedly was en
route to Mexico to look over some
player prospects in the winter
league there.
This - much was clear: Bragan's
name popped 'up in speculation
about the new Pirate field man
ager within minutes of the' an
nouncement by Fred Haney en
Sept. 25 that he had, been WA
he would not be retained for this
year.
At that time Rickey still was
general. manager and the immi
nence of his retirement had not
,attracted any very great atten
tion. So the gossip that linked
IBragan's name 'to the job
,was
traceable to his association with
Rickey over a good many of his
baseball years.
Bobby, originally an infielder,
switched to catching while with
the Philadelphia Phillies in 1942.
