Recap
By Jim Riddle
Upsets Rock Intramural Grid
Play; League in Three-Way Tie
NO TEAMS—Most coaches be-
fore tlie season, like to moan and
cry about how sad the team is, and
how many stars the other teams
have. In fact, in most schools, the
Athletic Department has to order
an extra gross of towels, just to
supply the coaches.
Southwestern, however, is not
plagued by this yearly flood. In
fact, the coaches here are hopeful-
ly confident that the team is in
good shape, and should win more
than it loses...What a day this
would’ be if they do. See you to-
night at the game.
The Independents in the only
“as predicted” game as they beat
the haples KA’s, 13-0. Other games
of the week follow.

ANOTHER THING—With the
crop of new students and freshmen
on campus this semester, the old
- question “When will Southwestern
return to varsity football?” has
been asked many times. Many ofxus
wondered for some time if South-
western could not support a team.
The answer is that Southyest-
ern could probably support a team;
but whether it would be a winning
team is another question. I was
talking to one of the coaches the
other day. and he said he thought
that if Southwestern ever returned
to the varsity gridiron, he wanted
us to go ail out. Perhaps he was
thinking of a school very similiar
to SU in size, bacilities, and en-
rollment, located in Seguin.
Like Southwestern, this school
had an excellent baseball team
last year, beating such teams as
SMU, Rice, Baylor, and Texas Tech.
The students and alums felt, how-
ever, that the athletic program
wasn’t complete without football.
And so it was reinstated.
This year, out of four games, this
team has won only one. And that
was against UCC, no football
power by any strech of the imag-
ination. Last Saturday, the team
lost to East Texas State, 64—0.
This, I think, is a perfect example
of what could happen at SU, and
so ends the discussion.
The Pikes upset dope Tuesday,
as they slipped by the favored Phis

no good.

NIGHTCAP—I suppose every-
one has heard of the small school
coach in the Central Texas area
whose team had lost its first three
gamesf*by scores of 33—0, 49—0,
and 54—-0. Last week, for the first
time, his team scored. Uttering a
loud exclamation, he cried. “Now
what ? We haven’t practiced points
after touchdowns f”...This crazy

Southwest Conference is really
gone, man, upset!! What about
those Aggies ? and those Mus-
tang? And Baylor: OH course
there’s always an odd wad in the
crowd. Poor, helpless old Long-
horns. Oh well boys. There’s al-
waysnext year. Remember it’s not
whether you won or lost, but how
you played the game.
The game was closely fought all
during the first half, with one
play making th"> difference. The
Pikes managed to spring Sullivan
loose down the middle. Sullivan
carried the frieght for twenty,
yards, handing off when he got in
trouble. The play went for a TD,
and the extra point try was good.
Halfime score was Pikes 7, Phi 0.

Sigs mixing running play v.th
their aerials. Phi receivers seem d

the air with passes. They were
unable to gain, however, until
Cardwell heaved a perfect pass

King, who carried to the Pike 22.
Brack for the score. Brack, who
played a fine game at wingback
all day, made an outstading diving
catch, and the Phis were behind
only one point. Try for extra point
failed however. At the end o the
game, the Pikes were in possession
on the Phi 30 yard line.
