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

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

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

the final game that they never re
linquished.
Preston made a belated rally ir
the seventh inning but it fell shor

won 5-3 to wrap up the campus
championship.
Walter Robinson, the PiKA
pitcher, worked beautifully and ex

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
