Maroon and Gold NOVEMBER 2, 1940 Alpha Pi Wins First Half Championship In Intramural Football FRATERNITY OUTFIT GOES THROUGH FIRST HALF UNDEFEATED BEAT Schedule For Second Half To Be Released Some Time Next Week By Physical Ed. Department CRUISING With Crutchfield (Conlinued fzom Page 3) The first half of the intramural football play off is over, with the strong Alpha Pi team: coming- out on top with six wins and no defeats. I Alpha Pi was greatly aided in winning the first half play off by forfeits. Three of their six wins j were won by forfeits. Although this should not take away any of the glory, it does cause much comment on the part of three teams. These three teams are going to make it hot for the Al pha Pi boys before the last half is over. E^st, ITK, and the Publishing House gang are the teams that the Alpha Pi boys are going to have to beat to win the second half. ITK would be in a tie with Alpha Pi for the top spot if they had not lost to them by a forfeit. Their game ended up in a tie, but ITK used one man that was not eligible j and therefore the game went to the Alpha Pi | team, 1 to 0. Some of the Bookstore quarter backs think that the East Dorm team is going to be one of the better teams in the second half, because of the way they played Alpha Pi to a standstill in the first half of their game, and the way they played agamst the ITK tt am. In the ITK. game Easl scorcd first and held UK scorc- It bS until the last quarter, when ti.obsoii caught a pass down the luiddie and ran over tiie goal un- louchtd.

I Cornell, second ranking of the nation’s elervens, clashes with Co lumbia in what may be an inter esting scrap. Here is a chance for some of that “unpredictableness” to enter, but we doubt it. Princeton - Harvard,, Stanford - U. C. L. A., Navy-Pennsylvania, Tennessee-Lousiana .State and Clemson-Tulane are other games today of nation-wide interest. « * * The football slate in North Carolina is interesting, with the Duke-Georgia Tech battle at Durham claiming top notice. The Blue Devils apparently have come back from the Tennessee defeat and reign as favorites over the Engineers. N. C. State and Furman meet tonight in Raliegh in a Southern conference game which can be taken or left alone, as you like. Davidson entertains Centre this afternoon while Wake Forest played George Washington in Washington last night. The University of North Care lina’s Tar Heels engage Fordham in New York with the Rams, be cause of their triumph over Tu- lane, getting the nod. c A T A W B A Experts' (?)

You can never tell when one of his bullet-like passes is going into the end zone to one of the Publish ing House's capable pass receiv ers for a touchdown. Frank Rob erts is not only a fine passer, but he can kick and run as well as any back in the league. * Sigma Pi looms as a possible dark horse in the last half-play- [ off. They have not looked so j good in their previous games, but O'Connor and Howard Culberth are two backs that any team in the loop would be proud to have. The Freshmen, North North, and South North don't look as if they will give any of the top teams much trouble. North North has one of the better back field men of the intramural league in Ken Herbert, but they have nobody to team with him to produce a winning combination. There was much spirit shown between the teams in the first half and there promises to be lots more of it in the last half play off. ITK, last year’s champions, don't have any intentions of los ing the crown, but Alpha Pi seems EXTRA COOLNE ■‘4 •»?/ Vi Copyrifbt, 1940. B. J. Reynoldi Tobacco Company. Wiiuion-i>«lrm.
