IM Football Crown
Won by Sigma Nu
By ED ARTZT
Pounding viciously away at
each other in a rough and rugged
thrill jammed battle that heard
more official’s whistles than a
bathing beauty contest, Sigma Nu
and Alpha Tau Omega played off
the final round of the 1947 Intra
mural Football Championships
yesterday afternoon. Sigma Nu
toted home the coveted crown af
ter hacking out a hard earned 6-0
Victory.
Both teams were rolling under
full steam every second of the
game. The busiest men on the
field were the three officials,
who paced off a neat eighty
yards in penalties before the
final gun sounded.
Brown Scores
Roger Dick's third quarter aerial
to Merse Brown spelled doom for
the defending champions from Al
pha Tau Omega. The lone tally
came after two-and-a-half quarters
of air tight football. ATO Ramsey
Fendall connected with pass after
pass, but the Sigma J4u defense
wasn’t issuing end zone tickets
to the Tau’s.
A scoreless but red hot fjrst
half saw Sigma Nu displaying
the tougher offense. The ATO
crew couldn’t keep the pigskin
out of their half of the grid
iron, due more than once to the
powerful toe of Sigma Nu flash,
Dick Wilkins.
ATOs Fight Back
When the third quarter got un
der way, a revitalized Tau club
bounced back and started turning
on the heat. Fendall connected
twice to Lynn Hamilton for a
•c izcable hunk of yardage and the
first ATO first down. Fendall
fired a high one to Mo Thomas.
Thomas juggled the ball and
Johnny Kovenz streaked through
to Intercept for Sigma Nu aij^l
.galloped from his own 40 to the
ATO 25 yard-stripe.
An ill-timed shoving penalty
against Alpha Tau Omega pushed
the ball down to the 10 yard-line.
Three plays later Roger Dick toss
ed to Merse Brown for the big six.
.Dick’s attempted conversion flip
to Jim Bartelt was unsuccesful.

BERKELEY, Cal., Oct. 21
Coach Lynn Waldorf today in
stalled a new set of plays for Cali
fornia’s unbeaten football team to
spring against Southern Califor
nia here Saturday in the west
coast’s “game of the year.”
The Bears ran through a dummy
defensive scrimmage against USC
plays, and Waldorf admitted they
“looked all right.” He said the
Bears should enter the game as
underdogs, however.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21 —
USC’s first string fullback, John
Rossetto, out with a sprained back
since the Washington State game,
looked good in his first scrimmage
today, as he joined the Trojans in
practicing defense against Cali
fornia plays.
Former right end Ernie Tolman
worked out at left end to fill the
vacancy left by Paul Salata and
Tony Linehan, both out with in
juries.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21—For
the second consecutive day, Coach
Bert LaBrucherie stressed pass de
fense as he prepared his UCLA
Bruins for the aerial attack he ex
pects Southern Methodist to
launch here Saturday. The Bruins
went through a' rough scrimmage
in which they also polished their
own passing attack.
CORVALLIS, Ore., Oct. 21—The
battered Oregon State college foot
ball Beavers were still licking their
wounds today after the 48 to 6
loss suffered at the hands of
Southern California. They offered
no alibis, although it was suggest;
ed that the sudden change from
soggy Oregon practice fields to the
fast turf of the coliseum may have
hindered the northerners.

Forrest Hall Stars
For San Francisco
Four Added to
Hoop Turnout
Basketball coach John Warren
sent 31 squad hopefuls through an
other steaming practice session
yesterday, with the turnout
swelled by the addition of four
men.
The new candidates were
Kenny Seeborg, JV performer
last season; Don Kimball, Frosh
first-stringer; Hans Wold, a
junior hailing from Custer, S.
j Dak.; and Dick Bryant.
Kimball was the casualty of the
workout, knocking two teeth
loose in a collision with Jim Bocchi.
Kimball, at the time of the ac
cident, was working the three man
pass-weave when he collided full
tilt into Bocchi.
yesterday’s workout was
somewhat of a let-up after Mon
day’s rugged session, although
the men were sent through the
usual never-let-up running tac
tics. In addition, the candidates
sharpened up their shooting
eyes, and practiced working the
ball down-court at iop speed
while doing the chest pass, drib
ble, and bounce pass.
When the University of San
Francisco Dons come to grips with
Oregon next Saturday, they will
have in their ranks a player who
last year set what is probably the
greatest single record for individ
ual game performance seen on the
West Coast. Their fair-haired lad
is highly publicized Forrest'Hall,
USF left halfback.
The All-Coast Hall, nicknamed
“Scooter,” last year almost
equalled an all-time record of
Red Grange. In the Kansas
State-San Francisco game last
fall, “Scooter” carried the ball
five times, made four touch
downs and one conversion, to
singlehandedly ring up 25 points.
Grange’s record stands at five
tallies for five carries.
Hall also set a new gridiron
record with his kickoff returns
during the ’46 season. In seven
games he returned 15 kickoffs for
602 yards. His average was 40.1
yards. Three of these kickoff re
turns resulted in touchdowns. One
was 99 yard's against Stanford, an
other for 86 yards against Santa
Clara and the third for 81 yards
through the Kansas State team.
A “mighty mite” of 155-pounds,
Hall was one of the ten highest
scorers in the nation during 1946,
running up a total of 78 points.
