the training. A college man should
pass it easily.

started on your way to serve America
and advance yourself in aviation.

Sigma Phi Tops Kappa Psi
For Intramural Softball Crown
The steady pitching of the depend
able Jack Boone and costly errors on
the part of a shaky Kappa Psi in
field enabled the classy Sigma Phi
softball team to blast out an 11-5 vic
tory and grab the intramural crown
from the Kappa Psi club in a loosely
played contest last Friday afternoon.
The triumph gave the winners a one-
game advantage over Kappa Psi In
the hotly contested intramural race
and insured Sigma Phi of the Soft
ball Trophy for the second successive
year. The trophy will be officially
presented by Coach Brunansky.
Kappa Psi opened up early as they
sent one run across the plate in the
first frame. Singles by Watts and
Mann, along with a passed ball, ac
counted for the one-run lead, but
Sigma Phi came right back to knot
the count in their half of the third as
Ernie Johns scored on a fielder's
choice.
The see-saw scoring continued in
the fourth when Boone tallied for
Sigma Phi, only to have it offset by
two markers by Kappa Psi in the last
of the same round, giving the losers
the lead for the last time. Mann with
a triple and Atkins with a single pro
vided the heavy stick-work in ac
counting for this temporary lead.
From the fifth on, the story was
entirely different as the powerful
Sigma Phi’s went on a scoring ram
page that put the game on ice. Three
walks and three hits netted the vic
tors five runs and a lead that the Kap
pa Psi’s could never overcome, try as
they may.
Despite a four-run deficiency, the
Kappa Psi’s still put up a gallant
fight to the finish and man; J ed to
push across one run in each of the
final two stanzas. Another four-run
splurge in the final frame assured
Boone of the victory that he so well
deserved.
Led by Shaw and Hoffman witn
two hits each, the Sigma Phi’s col
lected a total of nine hits from the
offerings of fire-balier Lewis Nance,
the most that he has given in any one
game all season. In addition to that,
Nance handed »ut ten free passes,
which, added to three errors, spoiled
the chances of the favored Kappa
Psi’s.
The losers tagged Boone for seven
hits, six of which were equally divid
ed among Mann, Atkins, and Watts.
