Columbia Hall, S
By Buddy Horres and Kevin Sullivan
Two important intramural football games
were decided in overtime this week as the
regular season schedule nears its end.
Third-ranked Columbia Hall I literally
beat the pants off No. 4 Douglas 6-0 Wednesday
night.
A Douglas running back dove through the
middle of the line and reappeared on the
other side with his flags still in position and
his pants dangling beside his ankles.
The victory "was a little shaky," said
defensive player and coach Bill Rockefeller,
"but we came up with the big plays when
had to."
In the other contest, undefeated and
second-ranked Sigma Nu captured the
fraternity league title with a 13-7 victory
over Sigma Alpha Epsilon Tuesday.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon jumped to an early
lead on a touchdown pass from quarterback
Ray Ricchi to Tommy Foster in the first
half. The touchdown marked the first points
scored against the Sigma Nu defense this
season. Ricchi caught Foster's pass,
switching positions for the conversion point.
The score was 7-0 for the rest of the half.
In the second half, Sigma Nu scored on a

ame."
"This is one of those rivalries where you
an throw the record book right out the
indow;" Bell said. "They are the kind of
jam who will keep on fighting and won't
ive up. They're going to be fighting for
leir lives and we're going to be fighting for
urs, so it's going to be real tough."
N.C. STATE, 4-3, lost to Clemsou, North
arolina and Maryland.
The Wolfpack uses an I-formation offense,
he ground game is led by sophomore Joe
fclntosh who has rushed for 572 yards in six
ames and averaged 4.3 yards per carry.
In the passing department, quarterback
'ol Avery has completed 89 of 152 passes for
,067 yards for an average of 152 yards per
ame. His favorite target has been split end
lickv Wall, who has caueht 19 Dasses for 346
ards and four touchdowns.
The Wolfpack has a veteran line
iveraging 243 pounds per man.
"N.C. State has been an option-oriented
ffense, but they are beginning to throw the
tall more," Bell said. "Tol Avery has a
trong arm, drops back well and has a great
bility to scramble and run.
"Joe Mcintosh is an outstanding running

^icky Wall is a great receiver," Bell con

Dickerson grabbed a pass to set up the

With less than a minute left in the fourth
quarter, Sigma Alpha Epsilon fought upfield
with blocking from Steve Trewhella and
steady plays from quarterback Ricchi. A

The overtime period allows each team
four plays to score from the 10-yard line.
Following an incomplete pass, Sigma Nu

Parker to Billy Kimbrough. The conversion
attempt was intercepted.

the playoffs, but they still have one game to
go.

DEFENSIVELY, THE WOLFPACK may c
use a variety of formations. The strength of
their defense, according to Bell, is a quick
secondary and a strong pair of linebackers. 1

"They have great speed in their secon- i
dary," he said. "All of their defensive backs c
run the 40 (-yard dash) in the 4.4- to 4.6- ?
second range. They like to blitz off the i
corners a lot and they have two fine c
linebackers in Andy Hendel and Vaughan
Johnson.-Their defense hangs in there and
fights, and we'll need to execute well to <
move the ball on them." 1
