· ~"' .. PAGE 8 AGT edges Phi Delts "by Bob Jacobs The intramural football season ended November 8th when the Bachelors of Alpha Gamma Tau beat the Phi Delt's of Phi Delta Theta by a score of 6-0. This victory by the Bachelors, who ended 8-0 on the season, clinched the intramural football title. The Phi Delt's held a firm second place with a record of 6-2, losing twice to the "Blue and White Machine" of AGT. The Preachers of Delta Pi Alpha placed third registering a 3-5 record. Last place was shared by Gamma Bela Chi and the Independent teams each having a record 1-6-1. When asked what factors produced such a fantastic season, coach Jesse "Bear" Houston of AGT replied, "Our success was due to the great team play of both our offense and our defense. Our offensive line of Wolfing, Schmertzler, and Froggy provided excellent protection for Stang. Our receiving corps of Duckett, Dickeye, Weller, Fields, and Davidson continually beat the op- posing secondary. Our defense made up of Brownley, Muench, Manny, E.Z. Nels, Crazy Jack, Buzzy, Blazer, and Abbott intercepted a record 43 passes on the year, and allowed only one touchdown all season. "Overall, the team spirit, talent, and coach all contributed to a great season." So, congratulations to the Bachelors on an unblemished season; and, congratulations are also in order for each and every participant who Quarterback Mike Bricker (10) hands off to Tom Botts (30) as Western Maryland rolled over Susquehanna l 7-7. made the season possible and took to the field with an unsurpassed degree of sportsmanship each game.
