Sigma Nu Is Campus Champ By MIKE LOVEJOY Some outstanding defensive play and enough offensive punch to keep their opponmnts guessing throughout won the campus volley ball championship for Sigma Nu over a determained NROTC six, last Friday night, in the Naval Armory. The fraternity men won the first game, 15-7; succumbed in the second, 2-15; and clinched the title with a 15-8 count. Sigma Nu gained the right to play the Independent kings by first besting Lambda Chi. Next they met Sigma Chi, the defending campus champions, who beat them two out of three games. Thursday night found the two tangling again with Sigma Nu winning the first two out of three, Sigma Chi win ning the second game, 11-0. In the double elimination set-up, an other series was needed to deter mine the champions with Sigma Nu coming out on top in two straight games. The NROTC Unit lost only one game during the regular season and this was to Preston Second West. The two teams played each other for the right to represent the Independents in the campuswide playoffs. NROTC won very handily to annex Independent supremacy. The overall championship game saw NROTC winning the initial serve but losing the first game 7-15 as Howard Cassidy, Philip Moody, and Bill Walters did some terrific "spiking" but their drives were met by a determined defen sive minded bunch headed by New land Collier, Dan Donavan, and Carl Hardigg. The second game went NROTC all the way as the Cassidy - Moody - Walters trio shined. The third tilt started off slow with the score staying pretty well knotted up. Sigma Nui got the ball at 2-2 and lost its only after building up'a 5-2 lead. From this point they proceded steadlily to the final 15-8 tally. Other members of the winning aggregation were Jim Abert, Bill Hawley, and Bobby Coleman while "Flash" McBride, "Klu" Faust, andl Dan Castles rounded out the Naval team, which was coached by t.
