PLAYOFFS
Ha!e Kane A s and B's Triumph;
Phi Delts Eliminate SAE's
In the first clav of the intramural volleyball playoffs yesterday
afternoon. Hale Kane, last year’s A and 15 champions, showed
their screaming gallery that they still have the material to
possibly dominate the play again this year as they emerged
victorious in both A and 15 contests.
Sigma Alpha Kpsilon, who throughout the season looked like
it might be the team to beat for
the championship, was eliminated
when both A and B squads suffered
defeats at the hands of Phi Delta
Theta A’s and Hale Kane's B
teams. Theta Chi rolled over Nest
or hall in two straight games.
Sigma Nu, playing the entire
season with only five men, was
downed by Hale Kane's powerful
A team in two out of three hard
fought games. In the fiist game
Hale Kane's Bob Miurhead and
Bob Fase spiked their team to a
15-6 victory. Tom Swalm went on
a short spiking spree for the loos
ers but Hale Kane always bounced
back.
The second game saw Sigma Nu
take command from the beginning.
Jerry Mock of Sigma Nu displayed
some of the best placed spike shots
seen this year as Hale Kane was
repeatedly pulled out of position
and Mock's spike was always
placed where they weren't as Sig
ma Nu won 15-3.
The last game saw both teams i
call on every bit of ability they had
in trying to beat the other. Swalm.
Mock and Joe Segura combined
spiking and easy tips over the net j
in an effort to confuse their op
ponents but the high spirited Hale
Kane apparently wasn’t about to
be fooled by anything and Miur
head and Fase went into action;
with their deadly spikes. This1
spelled Sigma Nu's doom as Hale
Kane tallied 15 points to eight for ;
their opponents.
Phi Delta Theta then moved on
to the court with Sigma Alpha
Episilon's A squad. SAE broke into
an early lead in the first game. The !
Phi Delta found themselves on the
short end of a 13-5 score as they
rallied behind the spikes of Bob
Wegner and Dan Hendrickson to
narrow the margin to 13-11. SAE
then got the ball and took the next
two points to post a 15-11 victory.
The second game saw Phi Delt
behind by a score of 9-4 as things
looked like SAE might win this
one without all the hard work of
the first game. Again the Phi
Delts bounced back and with as
sisting set shots from Norm Kolb.
Dick Morse. Jim Gibson and Gene
Lewis, Hendrickson and Wegner
spiked their team to a 15-12 vic
tory.
The third game saw SAE unable
to get going until too late. Despite
Bob White, Bob Carlson and Mike
Kittredge's attempt to spike their
SAE team to a victory, a win just
wasn’t in the books as Phi Delta
Theta went on to win by a score of
15-12.
Hale Kane's B squad moved an
other notch* closer to the class B
volleyball crown in its match with
the SAE B squad.
Hale Kane, after dropping the
first contest, 11-15. came back to i
drop the SAE's without much diffi
culty, 15-10 and 15-3.
As it has been all year, the Ha
waiian lads were sparked by one
Martin Magi, who nearly broke the
backs of the SAE boys with his
driving spikes and his tricky
“change of pace" spike. Si Wong
and Jim Tsugawa were the chief
setter-uppers for Hale Kane. j
Jim Tennyson gave the SAE
team a good man to work around
Coach Denies
Rift, Ram Says
Propaganda
I.OS ANGELES CPt Rumors of j
dissension among members of the
San Francisco 49'eis professional
football team are denied by Coach
Buck Shaw and several of the
players. Head Coach Hampton Pool
of the Los Angeles Rams views
the story as designed to lull the
Rams to sleep and fire the 49'ers
to greater efforts. The story ap
parently originated with Frank
Finch, pro football writer for the
Los Angeles Times. Finch said a
member of the 49'ers told him that 1
“we've lost confidence in our
selves.'' Finch also said he was
told older members of the squad re
sented Shaw's singling out star
rookie back Hugh McElhenny for
special praise as he was said to
have done on a recent TV pro
gram from Chicago. Both Quar
terback Frankie Albert and Cap
tain Norm Standlee of the 49'ers
denied there was ar.y team dissen
sion.
Coach Pool of the Rams, who de
feated the 49’ers 33 to 9 last Sun
day, said the San Francisco play
ers were fired up for the return
match in San Francisco even be- j
fore they left their dressing room
last Sunday. He continued: “Buck
must have read them the riot act
behind those closed doors. But
Buck always was a master psy
chologist.”
for spiking. Tennyson was the
main cog in the first game victory
for the SAE's.
Theta Chi, league four champ
ions, moved into contention for
Class A honors by literally smash
ing Nestor Hall, league three
champions, 13-2 and 13-2. Theta
Chi proved that they might be the
dark-horse in the running after its
very impressive floor game against
the inexperienced freshmen boys
from the “Cardboard Castles.”
Don Kriger was the sparkplug
behind the Theta Chi attack. His
consistent spiking and all-around
play was outstanding.

USC Presses Spartans
The powerful Southern Californ
ia Trojans have forged into second
place in the national Associated
Press football poll. But there's an
opportunity for an even higher
rating in the final poll of the year
—to be taken next week. Michigan
State is first in the current rank
ings. This Saturday, the Trojans
meet Notre Dame. The Irish lost
to Michigan State a couple of
weeks ago in a game in which the
Spartans recovered several Notre
Dame fumbles. And a convincing
USC win over the Irish might make
midwestern sportscasters and edit
ors sit up and take notice. The
Trojans gained second place in the
AP poll by beating UCLA last
Saturday. USC moved up from
fourth place to the runner-up spot.
There were few changes in the
lineup of the first 10 teams this
week. The major change was Mary
land's drop from eighth to 15th
place, following a 27 to 7 loss at
the hands of Alabama.
Here is the way the first 10
teams finished in the poll. Michi
gan State first, followed by South
ern California, Georgia Tech, Okla
homa. UCLA, Mississippi, Notre
Dame, Alabama, Tennessee, and
Texas.
