Sigma Nus Slump; Win, 2-0: Betas Nudge Kappa Sigs, 6-0 Safety Beats Phi De!ts One hundred rabid football fans turned out for one of the most exciting', and rough, touch foot ball games of the season, as Sig ■na Nu beat Phi Delta Theta 2-0 yesterday on the slimy surface of the “mud flats." The erstwhile point-crazy Nus were stopped completely by a stalwart Phi Delt defense, get ting their winning margin by a safety in the second quarter. Af ter an exchange of quick kicks the Phi Delts took possession of the ball on their own two-yard line. The first play resulted in Wayne Williamson crashing •through the line to nab the Phi Delt back in his end zone. Passes Stopped The fast-breaking long passes of the “Jai-in” John Bubalo and liis gang were stopped cold by the alert defensive playing of the Phi Delts, while the vaunted run ning attack of the losers came 1.o a complete halt, thanks to the muddy, slow field and the speedy Sigma Nu defensive men. The rough and rugged tussle threatened to break out into riots several times with the line play being particularly vicious. Whitman and Dick spark plugged the winners while Elliot Wright and Hank Burns were a continuous threat both offens ively and defensively for Phi Delta Theta. Lineups: . Sigma Nu. 1’iii Delia Theta.

At this point Ed Dick, all con ference player from The Dalles, Ed Devaney and Roger Wiley, all staters from Bremerton, Wash ington, Kenny Hume, Stan Wil liamson and Leo Grosjasques seem to stand out, but are hard pressed by a squad' of 50, includ ing many former high school stars. Twice a Week For the remainder of the fall term the Ducklings will drill twice a week, from 7:30 to 10 o’clock in the evenings. In the ab sence of Coach Hobson, who will be more than busy with the var sity hoopsters, Laddie Gale will tutor the boys in their night workouts. Thus far, Coach Hobson has stressed conditioning and fun damentals, spending a lot of time on each candidate, be cause, according to Hobby, be fore the season opens, the Coast Conference may let down the bars and make freshmen eligible for varsity teams, in which case many of these boys would be filling empty varsity spots.' At the beginning of the win ter term, the squad will get back to practice five afternoons week ly in preparation for their opener in January.
