Then in the final, in another sudden-death overtime, an Alpha Chi Sigma's forward lofted a shot at the Kappa Delta Rho goalie. In a hurried movement, the KDR net-minder slipped the ball behind himself and fell on it, As he turned around to find the ball, he knocked the winning goal into his own net, and Alpha Chi Sigma won. Bowling Aids Betas Bowling, a new tournament added to the intramural roster last year, helped the Betas. The Betas took a big lead over the rest of the field in the competi tion on the 12 new alleys in Rec reation Hall. Reviewing the top five this year as compared to the toppers in 1954-'55, only Alpha Chi Sigma crashed the standings . . . Beta (1) was third last year, Phi Kappa Sigma (2) moved up from fifth, Delta Upsilon (3) climbed from a fourth place finish in 1955, and Sigma Nu (5) dropped from sec ond last year. Phi Delta Theta fell from first to fourteenth as Alpha Chi Sigma finished fourth. Theta Delta Chi jumped •from 32nd to ninth and Theta Chi moved two spots from 37th to 12th. Only 48 points separated Theta Chi in 12th and Delta Tau Delta in spot number 20, 488-440. Southpaw Ed Drapcho, who set a new Penn State mark of 19 strikeouts in one game, easily led the team in this department dur ing the 1956 campaign. He fanned 83 in his 80'; innings on the pitch ing mound.
