Surprising Preston T The largest intramural sports program In 20 years came to an end Wednesday as a surprisnig Pi Kappa Alpha team defeated the strong Preston First East team, 5-8 for the campus softball cham pionship. The win for the PiKA team was one of the biggest upsets of a year of upsets in which only three of more than 80 teams entered in the softball program finished the sea son undefeated. Except for a forfeit the PI Kap team .probably wouldn't have been in the playoffs at all. Shakily en trenched in second place behind the powerful Phi Kappa Sigma tean with a 4-2 won, lost record, the PiKA's met Alpha Tau Omega is the final game of the season. The winner was a near certainty to at vance into the double elimination playoffs along with the Phi Kappa Sig team from Fraternity League No. 1. The ATO's defeated the Pi Kap team but were disqualified when a protest was sustained and the gante forfeited to PiKA. The Pi Kaps, however, deserved their championship win. Finishing second in their league and only slightly regarded as a serious threat to the favorites, the Pi Kappa team aided by the wildness of First East pitcher, Harry Bry. son, jumped into a lead early ir the final game that they never re linquished. Preston made a belated rally ir the seventh inning but it fell shor and the Pi Kappa Alpha team had won 5-3 to wrap up the campus championship. Walter Robinson, the PiKA pitcher, worked beautifully and ex ing was in complete control of the game all the way through. Back in April when the softbal schedules first began most observ ers felt that Phi Kappa Sigma and Preston First East were the boys to watch. The Phi Kappa SigE had brilliant Jim Yates, one of the outstanding pitchers in the city and the First East team had tw men who were nearly as good ir Bryson and Jack Mitchell.
