Sigma Pi Kappa Phi, Te, Touch Football Se By MIKE In two "knock-down-draf teams two of them emerged i an aggregate from Pi Kappa to annex the fraternity volley stopped a driving crew fron 15-11, to come out on top of th The Sigma Nu-Pi Kappa Phi tilt was almost Sigma Nu all the way but the latter let the winners know they were in the fray. One of the hottest contests to he witnessed by yours truly, in al most any sport, occurred between the NRO's and Ten. 29. The game was begun at five in the afternoon and after each team had won a game apiece, by only the minimum necessary to win a game, two points, it became very dark and Ten. 29 tried to finish the game inside. The NRO's objected and after much argument and consult ing of those who were in the know, it was decided to play the game the next day. So last Wednesday was the scene of a closely fought game where the Ten. 29 six made a deficit of 13-4 all the way up to 13-10 but they lost the ball and very soon after, the game. If it can be arranged a game will be played between the two winners of the two leagues to de cide the Campus Champs. This game will be played if time permits and if the two teams can decide on some agreeable time. Wilma Hughes, student director of intramural sports, had this to say about the 1951 volleyball season: "The teams and individuals in the Fraternity League were the most talented I have seen since I have been at Carolina. The season was a big success except for the decreasing lack of interest as shown on the part of some of the independent ball clubs. All in all, though, I am very pleased and I hope the turn out for the rest of the Intramural program will be as keen as was that in the volley ball." It is almost impossible to have winning teams without a few out standing ball players and this sport of volleyball is no exception. Perhaps the most versatile ball players out on the courts were Dwvane Morrison, Phi Sigma Kappa; Charles Bone, Sigma Nu; H. P. Smith, Ten. 24%; Jim Aus tin, NROTC; and Thurston "Tut" Vernon, of Ten. 24, who stands alone as the b)est front line man of the campaign. Play ini the touch (eight man) football season officially got under way last Wednesday with three games. Over in Fraternity League No. 2, Sigma Chi and Lambda Chi b)attled to a 0-0 stalemate in a see-saw battle right down to the wire; Phi Sigma Kappa stopped Kappa Sigma, 12-0, in a Fraternity League No. 2 tilt, and in the only Independent League (No. 1) Ten. 24% heat ASME to the tune of 19-6. The football season will continue on past the Christmas holidays and should end some time in the first two weeks of .January with the same playoff plans being made after the season's finish as were used dluring volleyball.
