Kappas, Pi Phis Deadlocked by 0-0 Tie Kappa Defense Spikes Pi Phi Grid Monster The season’s most unusual gridiron encouter woud up in a 0-0 deadlock Sunday as a well-polished Pi Phi offensive was bottled by a seven-man Kappa football crew that effectively turn ed the key in the lock everytime the Pi Phi scoring arrow seemed destined to puncture the goal line. Sparked by forceful drives of scatback Jackie Newburn, the Pi Phi aggregation of pledges suc ceeded in chalking up a lead in first downs, but their attempts to score were blocked by the deter mined defense of the undermanned Kappa pledge team. The brilliant ineffectiveness of the poorly executed plays provided unprecedented thrills for the throngs of spectators that crowd ed the sidelines. Play Abandoned The Pi Phis several times attempted a sleeper play, but were forced to abandon it when Pveferee Don McCollom stopped the game because he could see only six Pi Phi players on the field. Both teams were more adept at batting down passes than making them, and any semblance of an aerial attack bogged down as the pigskin slithered off polished nails. Despite the desperate determin ation of both teams, a spirit of splendid sportsmanship prevailed. According to veteran Field Judge A1 Crosbie, “It was the cleanest game it has ever been my pleasure to officiate.” Blue Game Rally girls Jane Carlisle and Bert Tusing for the Pi Phi Blue and white, and Leslie Palfrey and Dede Hemenway for the Kappa blue and blue were on hand to dispel their 'team’s blues when the going was rough. Members of both teams escaped without serious injury, although many are nursing bruises, skinned shins, and stiff muscles. A group of Fijis generously donated lini ment, iodine, and band-aids for the black and blue players. “The Kappas played a good game. It was fun playing against them. Hope it can be done again some day,” said Joan Carr, Pi Phi captain, as she limped off Gerlin ger Bowl field after the tilt. Kappa captain, Pat Robbins, commented, “Now back to ping pong—but don’t think it hasn’t been fun. Thanks to the Pi Phis for being such grand sports.” Come in and try our Fresh -Homemade Pie KELLER'S DUTCH GIRL Open Daily till 11 :p.m. Saturday till Midnight 1224 Willamette 10 Years Ago (From the Emerald files of 10 years ago.) El Trojan’s warhorse of old, net ted a staggering 34 to 14 defeat over Oregon ambitious Webfoots.
