Fraternity Champ,PhiKappaSig, Blanks Indie Gridders, 14-0 By JOHN BLACK The superior passing of Gip Bonar led Phi Kappa Sigma, intramural fraternity grid champs, to a 14-0 win over the Inebriates, indie titleholders, in a penalty-ridden contest on the IM field last night. It was the first time the IM office officially sanctioned an indie-fraternity playoff. Mike Beattie and Larry Di- Ciacinto were on the receiving end of the touchdown aerials from the accurate right arm of Bonar, Sykes coils Bona 'One Of the Best By DAVE HLADICIC "Gip Bonar is one of the best Quarterbacks to ever perform on the IM gridiron, bar none," IM co-ordinator Dutch Sykes said last night. He had just watched Phi Kappa Sigma's proficient field-general complete 21 of 35 passes in the IM championship game with the Inebriates. Sikes, commenting further. said "I compare Boner with some of the past greats like Sandy Freedson of Phi Epsilon Pi and Sy Troyan of fhe Coal Crackers, who performed so adeptly during the post-war years.

But two plays later Phil Hodges intercepted a flat pass , intended for Pete Searer on the 4-yard line, and the Phi Kappa Sigs had their second crack at paydirt.

Bob Knepp received the kickoff and heaved a soaring aerial in the direction of the Phi Kappa Sig goal. But the elusive pigskin (and a probable tying touchdown) slipped through the fingers of Ralph Bitsko on the 2-yard line. Again an interception proved disastrous to the Indie gridders as Jack Loßue picked off a Knepp toss at midfield. Two successive 15-yard charging penalties against the Inebriates gave the Greeks possession on the 8-yard stripe. Bonar fired twice to DiGia• cinto and Phi Kappa Sigma had another score.

The Inebriates fought back gamely and put together their most concentrated drive in the waning minutes of the game as Knepp connected on passes to Dick Hambright, Ralph Volpe and Dean Rossi.

ANYONE FOR. FOOTBALL? When Pancho Sigafoos, sophomore, pale and sensitive, first saw Wills Ludowic, freshman, lithe as a hazel wand and rosy as the dawn, he hemmed not; neither did lie haw. "I adore you," he said without preliminary. "Thanks, hey," said Willa, flinging her apron over her face modestly. "What position do you play?" "Position?" said Pancho, looking at her askance. (The askance is a ligament just behind the ear.) "On the football team," said Willa. "Football!" sneered Pancho, his young lip curling. "Football is violence, and violence is the death of the mind. I am not a football phyer. I am a poet !" "So long, buster," said Willa. "Wait!' cried Pancho, clutching her damask forearm. She placed a foot on his pelvis and wrenched herself free. "I only go with football players," she said, and walked, shimmer ing, into the gathering dusk. Paneho went to his room and lit a cigarette and pondered his dread dilemma. What kind of cigarette did Pancho light? Why. Philip. Morris, of corris! Philip Morris is always welcome, but never more than when you are sore beset. When a fellow needs a friend, when the heart is dull and the blood runs like sorghum, then, then above all, is the time for the mildness, the serenity, that only Philip Morris can supply. Pancho Sigafoos, his broken psyche welded, his fevered brow cooled, his synapses restored, after smoking a fine Philip Morris, came to a decision. Though he wax a bit small for football (an even four feet) and somewhat overweight (427 pounds), he tried out for the team—and tried out with , such grit and gumption that he made it.

Pancho's teammates were not conspicuously cheered as the little fellow took his place in the huddle. "Gentleman," said.Panclio, "some-of you may regard poetry as sissy stuff, but now in our most trying hour, let us hark to these words from Paradise Lost: 'Alt is not lost; the uncon querable will and study of revenge, immortal hate, and courage never to submit or yield " So stirred was Pancho's teas► by this fiery exhortation that they threw themselves into the fray with utter abandon. As a ecasequence, the entire squad was hospitalized before the half. The college was- forced to drop football. Willa Ludowic, not having any football players to choose from, took up with Panclio and soon discovered the beauty of his soul.
