By FRAN FANUCCI, Sports Editor
MR. GRID. MR. IRON PAY A VISIT
I sort of expected someone to knock on my office door. especially
following the football team's win over Penn Saturday, but I was
surprised when it wasn't my old friend Wally the sports fan. Instead
it was two of his friends—Mr. Grid and Mr. Iron.
"Are you the sports editor," they inquired. After I gave a posi
tive reply Mr. Grid explained that Wally had to leave college for a
year and so they would take up where he left off. I didn't want to
appear rude and tell them I was busy so into the office they came,
facts and all.
— You have a nice place here." Mr. Grid said. "but it could
use some new typewriters and a smaller desk." "I know but I
can't complain about the service and I'm sure that we'll have
some new equipment shortly." I answered.
"I saw you at the game Saturday," Mr. Iron said, "and you
seemed pleased with the action." "I was, and what did you think?"
"We looked great," Mr. Grid interjected. Why everyone was
complaining about us lacking a break-a-way runner, but did you see
.Alberigi (Ray) and Kane (Billy) run? They're not so fast as Lenny
Moore, but who is?"
Before I was able to answer, Mr. Iron put his two cents in.
"And don't think Plum didn't look great. Why his ball handling
was excellent and his passing was almost perfect, especially the
one so Alberigi for the touchdown."
Mr. Grid interrupted and I knew I was in the middle of a dis
cussion, where I would have to sit on the sideline. "You forgot
something brother," Mr. Grid accusingly said, "what about Caprara's
faking and blocking. Why every time he went up the middle three
guys hit him whether he had the ball or not."
"1 know," Mr. Iron said, "but if we're going to discuss every
body then let's talk about the line. They were the real. heroes of
the game. Why Sam Valentine looked so good that the writers in
the press box named him the top lineman of the day."
Pick Lions Over Army !
"Let's ricit throw our weight around." Mr. Grid said. "Plum
was picked top back of the game, so let's give him some credit."
"Okay. Okay," Mr. Iron said, "then let's give credit to all the
lineman." Dick DeLuca, Dan Radakovich„ Jack Calderone, and
all the ends looked good and if you want to know something the
second team was right up there, too, see?"
"Go ahead and nrag," Mr. Grid said angrily, "but io me the:
best time to brag will be after the Arm 3, game. Penn was green
and young and we looked awfully good, which together is poison.i
so hold your tongue until this weekend."
"I don't give a hoot what you think, Mr. Iron said, "We're!
not going to Army with the same boys as last year_ This year's!
team has the most spirit and cooperation that I have ever seen up;
here. And believe me they remember last year's game all too well.;
In fact I'm picking them to win. What do you think?"
"I think you're right," Mr. Grid surprisingly said. "but all
I said was not to brag too soon."
"Oh." Mr. Iron said, "so you heard about Gene Mikelonis
(Army halfback) tearing his knee ligaments, too?"
"Do you think I would brag so hard if I didn't know," Mr. Grid
said. But let's not go overboard on this. He might be out for the'
year but Earl Blaik always has some "green" reserve (so he calls'
them) that takes over where the other guy left off."
"That man (Blaik) has scorcaphobia." Mr. Iron laughed. Why .
he keeps his first string in the game until they ask to be taken out.
and then he refu , es. Why can't he be like old Rip. He played 36.

personnel."
"Okay boys," I interrupted, "it'5!•61000554.0040410

time to be going. I hate to do this TAE but I have to write two stories imr . Now
and then 'study. You know how it

and Mr. Iron left

Alpha Chi Sigma, Stiff's Boys,
Raiders, Phi Gam IM Victors
A beautiful display of team work highlighted Alpha Chi Sigma's 12-0 victory over
Alpha Phi Delta in Intramural football action last night.
In other games, the Raiders from Watts beat the Zips from Hamilton Hall, 1-0; Stiff's
Boys, another Hamilton Hall team, beat Jordan 1 in an overtime, 1-0; and Phi Gamma
Delta edged Theta Kappa Phi, 1-0, in another overtime.
Alpha Chi Sigma's Joe Nock sparkled with a fine aerial attack that
pushed Alpha Phi Delta back.
Nock's main receiver was Fred
Miller—also a fine running back.
However. it took the Alpha Chi
Sigs the first half to get rolling.
Nock's interception of a pass from
Ben Amato on Alpha Phi Delta's
40 started the scoring. A long pass
put the winners on the defenders'
15. Nock scored on a run around
left end.
AMATO RECEIVED the kick
off and attempted to pass. The
alert Nock again intercepted and
five plays later scored on a five
yard run to finish the scoring.
The Raiders nipped the Zips in
a close 1-0 game. In the first half,
the Raiders seemed to be the
stronger club but were unable to
score. John Lewis of the Raiders
threw a long pass from his own 20
to Bill Larson who moved to the
Zips' 45 for the only first down
of the game.
ON THE FOLLOWING play,
Steve Wojdak of the Zips inter
cepted a pass and returned to the
Raider's five. The Zips ran into a
brick wall, however, and were un
able to score.
Stiff's Boys edged Jordan 1,
1-0, in overtime. In the first half,
a .long pass from Fred Wolfe to
Chuck Palmer a combination
that was outsanding throughout
the game—put the Boys on the
Jordan six-vard line.
Two plays later a pass from
Palmer to Marty Scherr moved
the ball down to the half-yard

line. The Jordan men were able
to hold and robbed the winners of
a touchdown.
THE GAME moved back and
forth with neither team gaining
too much ground. In the second
half, Stiff's Boys were forced to
punt from their own 15, traveling
only to its 33.
The Jordan, players took ad
vantage of the situation with a
pass from Jim Thompson to Bob
Brickman, putting them on the
victor's 12-yard line to give them
the tying first down.
In the overtime the Wolfe-Pal
mer' combination payed off. A
short pass to Palmer put the ball
about 2 yards over the midfield
stripe and Jordan was unable to
push it back.
THE FINAL game also went
into overtime. Phi Gamma Delta
sneaked by Theta Kappa Phi in
another 1-0 game.
Both teams were tied at two
downs apiece at the - end of the
regulation time. In the overtime
the arm of Terry Hutton hit Bob
Bookman and Jim Lessig with
two passes for the necessary yard
age to win.
During the game, Hutton's
passes and fine running ability
sparked the Phi Gam men. Hut
ton ran 20 yards for the first
(first-down and later passed to
iLessig for the second. Theta Kap
'pa Phi managed to tie it up, forc
ing the game into overtime.
