Grid Stars
Practice
After nearly a three-week lay
off, the spring footballists will
continue their belated practices.
“Old Sol” finally took a turn for
the'better to give ‘‘Honest John”
Warren a chance to run his
charges through needed drill.
With only one practice under
their belts, the spring pigskin
ners will have to settle down to
work to make up for all the last
practice. Still they are not far
behind the other northwest col
leges since bad weather has been,
hampering them equally as much.
Encouragement of all men inter
ested in football to turn out for
spring practice will probably
swell the somewhat depleted
ranks. With veterans such as
Bobby Reynolds, Bill Bodner
gone with the ERC and Bill Da
vis and Ben Hujcomb out with in
juries, Warren has his work cut
put for him.
More and more candidates are
expected to be gone by next fall
and the primary purpose this
year is to get the men in fight
ing trim for “Uncle Sam." Prac
lices include calisthenics, signal
drill, touch football and, of course
the obstacle course.

Betas Trip Pi Kaps
31 to 16 Score
By BILL DYER
Well, its all over but the shouting, and the Beta boys will
take care of that. Yesterday, the Beta Theta Pi aqua power
house copped the intramural swimming crown as they rode
rough-shed over Pi Kappa Alpha by a large 31 to 16 score.
Facing their toughest competition to date, the Betas nevejj|
theless had little trouble in racking up their fifth triumph W:
the tournament. Yesterday’s 31
points gave them a total of 192
tallies for the tournament or an
average of close to 39 points per
contest, while holding their op
ponents to 41 counters in five
matches.
Pi Kappa Alpha was tough in
the individual events yesterday
but lost valuable points as their
relay teams failed against the well
coordinated and speedy relay
squads of the Betas. Bob and
Jack Gurley and Gif fin lead the
Pi Kap squad in the finals. Gif
fin skimmed over the 40 yards
in the breast stroke to cop a first
place with the fast lime of .27:6.
This was the only first gained by
the Pi Kap mermen, although
they managed several second and
third spots. Giffin also placed sec
ond in the 60 yard individual med
ley to pile up half of his team’s
total* score.
Tlie Gurley boys garnered seven
more points between them and
Withers added the last tally. Bob
Gurley took second in the tree
style and breast stroke events
while brother Jack captured a
third spot in the back stroke. Both
boys swam on the free style relay
team. Jackson and Coiner were
also key men in the Pi Gap's at
tack.
There was no fooling in the
Beta’s April first intentions. They
proceeded at once to take every
first place except Giffin’s win in
the breast stroke. That powerful
quartet of Korrel, Finke, Miller
and Abbott were the guiding
lights behind yesterday’s win as
they have been throughout the
tourney.
Korrell steamed to a .20 time
in copping- his only first, the 40
yard free style, and Finke, the
record breaker and ace back stro
ker, captured his favorite race
for the 40-yard distance and used
his specialty as lead-off man on
both winning relay squads. In the
00-yard individual relay, proba
bly the most grueling event on
the list, Miller of Beta splashed
to a win in .37:05 followed by
Giffin of Pi Kap.
Also instrumental in the Beta’s
drive to the crown were Duden,
Moller and Blair. These boys could

always be counted on to pile up
their share of the points.
This year’s tourney was very
successful and several promising
swimmers were developed. Be
sides the Beta's “Big Four” out
standing mermen include Hill and
Tryon of Delta Tau Delta, Fulop
of SAM, a.nd Putnam and AndejJ
son of Theta Chi. Pennington or
ATO was also an exceptional
swimmer but was declared ineli
gible and ATO's one victory was
forfeited to Chi Psi. If ATO had
not been disqualified by that in
eligibility they might have gone
far in the tournament.
