Forge Ahead
In Football
By MIKE LOVEJOY
Co-Sports Editor
Phi Sigma Kappa, led by the
strong ping pong playing of Bob
Blakely, moved up into a tie for
first place for the Overall Sports
Trophy over the past week. Blakely
beat Phil Garfinkle, representing
the Phi Epsilon Pi, in three
straight games for the Intramural
Ping Pong championship.
The ping pong tourney was
staged just after the Thanksgiving
holidays and, ran for the entire
week. The play was set up into
two brackets. Blakely went through
his bracket beating the represen
tative from Pi Kappa Alpha,
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Lambda
Chi Alpha, and Kappa Sigma, in
that order, to gain the right to
meet the victor of the other bracket
for the title. Garfinkle stopped
players from Pi Kappa Phi, Kappa
Sigma, Kappa Alpha, and Phi
Sigma Kappa to win his spot in
the finals.
The ping pong victory gave the
Phi Sigma Kappa's a campus
championship in one minor sport
while the Sigma Chi's gained a
similar championship in volleyball
to begin this year's intramural
sports program.
Eligibility Ruling Altered
At the meeting of the Fraternity
Intramural Council held last Mon
day, the ruling for the eligibility
during the touch football season
was changed to read as follows:
Any man who is a member of
any.,. fraternity can play touch
football for that fraternity as
long as: he has not received a
varsity letter in football at any
other school, he has not played
on the freshman tean this past
season, he has not played on the
"hohunk" team this past year,
and he is not now attending the
university on any form of ath
letic scholarship. This means that
many teams will be able to use
previously ineligible players.
Other business brought up at
this meeting was over an intra
mural bowling tournament. The
smaller fraternities asked that a
howling tourney be included in
the intramural program and to
have points awarded as if it were
a minor sport. This idea was given
to the individual members of the
council and will be voted on at
the first meeting of the council
after the holidays.
Sigma Chi -Tops
At present the touch football
season is heading the agenda of
intramural- play. Dick Tinmen and
Bob Royal, the student intramural
directors, have done a fine job
in lining off many fields, rounding
up referees, and in general carry
ing out a most successful intra
mural football season. The teams
are split up into three leagues with
just two more weeks, after the
holidays, before the play-offs
begin.
In Fraternity League Number
Two a strong Sigma Chi octet is
leading all comers by virtue of
their three straight victories. These
victories, plus their unbeaten stint
in volleyball, gives them a clean
winning slate in their defense of
the Overall Sports Trophy which
they won last year.
On the first day of the season
the Sigs , stopped an inferior
Kappa Sigma eight, 19-0, on a
cold, cold December 6 afternoon.
Coach Spec Granger's aspirants
were sparked by the fine passing
of Charlie Rosson who was re
sponsible for all the scoring. Ros
son opened up the game early in
the first quarter with a long pass
to his wingback, Lee Koty, for the
first touchdown of the game.
The "Chi's" scored again in the
third and fourth frames when long

and Jimmy Cox were absent when
Landis Perry)
wingback Bobby Gunnels were suc
cessfully completed for six points
apiece. Waters caught a short pass
over the middle for the extra point
following his touchdown pass re
ception and the game ended a few
minutes later, 19-0, Sigma Chi.
December 10 was the big game
in this league with the defending
league champions putting their
title on the block when they meet
the strong Sig eight. The Sigs
kicked off and the Lambda Chi's
scored on the first series of plays
with Delance Posten taking a long
pass in the end zone for the TD.
He caught a short pass over the
middle for the extra point to put
the Lambda Chi out fit out in front
7-0. The Sigs tied the game up
late in the second period on a long
aerial from Rosson to Koty which
was caught in the end zone. Gun
nels scored the extra point and the
half ended 7-7.
The third frame was a scoreless
affair with the two lines battling
"tooth and nail" for the hall. In
the fourth quarter Rosson faded
back and the speedy Gunnels out
raced all defenders, turned, pulled
in the pass, and( out-ran the safety
inan iifor the touchdowvn. The extra
point failed and the Sigs had won,
13-7.
The third Sigma Clhi victory wvas
sp)earheadled by the strong line
play of IHob Holmes who wvas high
scorer, blocking a pu nt in the end
zone in the third period for six
points, and tagging a man behind
the goal line for a safety in the
final frame. The Pi Kappa Alpha
eight was the victim of th~e 28-6i
Sig onslaught which wvas a hotly
contested gatme all the way.
.Jimmy Cox was the offensive
thrust for the Sigs, throwing three
touchdown passes and two extra
point passes. Koty was a target
for two Cox aerials while Steve
Coleman caught an extra point
pass as (lid Rosson. The victory
put the Sigs far out in front of
their league.
Phi Eps Win, A Thriller
In a thrilling League Two game
the Phi Epsilon Pi eight stopped
a game, but outplayed, Kappa
Sigma squad, 7-0. The only score
of the game came late in the third
quarter when Larry Koenig threw
a pass to Tom Kurtz who stepped
in the end zone for the score. An
other pass from the same Koenig
to Phil Garfinkle was responsible
for the extra point.
In other play in this saie league
the Lambda Chi's stopped PIKA
on a single safety, 2-0; Sigma
Alpha Epsilon beat PIKA, 6-0;
and the same SAE team stopped
Kappa Sigma, 18-0.
Sigma Na Impressive

to graduation the defending fra
ternity champions, Sigma Nu,

only outing to date. They beat the

Phi Kappa Sigma's in a thrilling
game, 13-7. Coach Wayne Kilgore,
playing from the tailback slot,
directed his team to their triumph
with two long passes. The first
series of plays saw Kilgore pass
to Phil Moody, only to have the
play called back. Then in the sec
ond quarter Kilgore faded and
threw a long, long pass to speedy
.Jim Enori who made a beautiful
catch in the end zone for the score.
Emori added the extra point with
an end run.
The Phi Kappa Sigs tied the
score up in the third frame when
Bob Oliver threw to end "Boony"
Bowen for the touchdown. An
Oliver to Dick VanHorn pass ac
couited for the extra point to tie
the game.
In the fourth quarter Moody
streaked down the sidelines under
the pass of Kilgore and raced into
the end zone with the game-win
ning six-pointer just before the
end of the game. This gave the
"Nu's" a 13-7 victory, their only
win, while they have had two
games postponed due to rainy
weather.

Swimming Hopes
Pive returning lettermen, two
fron last year's Frosh ~teau,'and
one, transfer, mtke uo the back
bone of Co6aoh Jimmy Ratliff's edi
tion of the Gamecoek' 1955 swim
ming team. The tanlnen meet the
University of North Carolina and
North Carolina State, the power
in ACC swimming circles, on Jan
uary 7 and 8, respeg.tively.
Perhaps the outstanding mem
bqr of this -year's squad will be
Levi Baranski, a transfer from
R.P.I., who "can do most any
thing." Coach Ratliff expressed
the opinion that Baranski is the
only Inember of the team who bad
any swimming experience prior
to college. Baranski will be used
in the Individual Medley and
wherever else an entry is needed.
Otis Ethridge, a breast stroke
specialist; 'Jim Turner, Eddie
Floyd, and Bill Walters, all free
style swimmers; and Bill Peel, a
diver; comprise the list of re
turnees. Bobby Campbell and -Hal
Lefferts, who worked out last 'ear
as freshmen, also add some ex
perience to the team, both being'
free-style swimmers. A strong
swimmer in Bobby Reagen, who
does not become eligible until sec
ond semester, is expected to bolster
the team considerably in the breast
stroke division.
No'rth Carolina State and North
Carolina will again be the favored
teams in this section of the coun
try. Many people see a surprising
team in Clemson, who upset Duke
last week end, with the latter
school among the top three in the
conference in past years. Virginia
also has a strong team with Wake
Forest andi Maryland not having.
a team in the conference. At the
ACC meeting over this past week
end it was suggested that it be
compulsory that all schools have
a team entered in the 1955-56
season.
