Ain Ai Pi Phi's C Tri Delts By LLOYD H Sports If you haven't heard by n women, powder puffs, and foo 7:30 on Melton Field, with Pi Delta in the fifth annual Powd The i Phi's have won all f ports from the Tri-Delts say the victory famine will be bro Coaches Joe Patrone and Steve Wadiak of Pi Phi's are optimistic, however, about their team's chances of taking their fifth straight win. And they have every reason to be. The Pi Phi's have a number of veterans back from last year's team which ran up an easy win over the Tri-Delts. Included among these is Francis "Choo-Choo" La Borde (but you won't be), and beauteous Barbara McSwain, an experienced end Also back with the Pi Phi Ar rowettes are Delores Meyer (Oh. Meyer), Greta Miley (I'd walk a Mile-y for one), Jane Lever (Lever Alone), Jeanette Monts (no ser mons please), and the Walkers 4 Walk-er run, they're double trouble) twins, Nancy and Julia, and a host of others toughened to the gridiron wars. Added to these will be several newcomers who have shown promise in practice sessions. They have quickly adapted themselves to the Pi Phi technique and plenty probably will be heard from them before many years have passed. The Arrowettes, however, will depend mainly upon seasoned vet erans who are well versed in pass receiving, pass throwing, pass in terception, and "hooting." Under the capable guidance of Patrone and Wadiak they have quickly absorbed the fundamentals 1950-51 Catalog Will List Added Physics Courses The 1950-51 university catalog will list several courses in the physics department that are not listed in the current bulletin. These courses, approved last Spring by the university council and faculty, will provide a strong major in physics for those desiring it, Charles F. Mercer, head of the de partment, has announced. Several of these courses will be offered next term if there is suf ficient demand. The courses, now under consideration, are "Basic Electronics," "Introduction to Physical Optics," "Introduction to Modern Physics," and "Advanced Electrical Measurement." A com bination of these and the course in "General Physics" will give the student a strong background for continued work to complete re quirenments for a Master's Degree.

They have shown so much skill that most observers have established them as a solid favorite. Tri-Delts Better The Tri-Delts in previous years have faced a situation that no group of girls in their right senses could possibly bear up under. They've been undermanned. But with a year in which to get ready for this fifth Powder Bowl session reports say that the Tri Delts have put in long hours of recruiting and are no longer suf fering from a shortage. They also will have a number of veterans returning to form the nucleus of this year's team. Among these is Quarterback Walton Jef fords, who exhibits plenty of brains on a 130-pound, 5:6 frame and End Mary Louise Gaillard, a slippery end. Another veteran Tri-Delt per former is Martha Petty who an chors the center of the line (and its Petty strong), and Mary Anne Cappelmann (and she's gonna do it in June). The Tri-Delts will not have the experience which marks the Pi Phi's but they have A eoming team. Eight of the members are fresh men, three are sophomores, and seven are juniors. Tri-Delt coaches Eddie McMil lan and Vic Hendrickson have been working their charges hard for this game. The girls are in capable hands in these two old-heads of the "pass-ing" parade and they will be well versed in the fine art of re ceiving tonight. And Men, Too To be certain that the girls could keep their minds on football for an hour or so, arrangements were made for them to bring their men with them to the game. Immediate ly preceding the opening kickoff these husky, male sponsors will make their entrance in flashy con vertibles. At half-time one of these "lucky" males will be crowned King of the Powder Bowl by Beth Fillingim, president of Pan-Hel lenic. Only a few minor changes have been made in the rules of this game as compared with regular football. Two-hand touch will take the place of tackling and powder girls (see page 8), complete wvith hobby-pins and mirrors, will fill in for the usual managers. Delta Squad Ulcorn and Frances Laflorde.
