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

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

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.

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
