That was some sideline skeptic's opinion that your wandering re- porter picked up while trying to absorb some of the finer points of volleyball last week. I got down to the I-M Building early in the evening in the hopes of gathering some information on the general rules of independent volleyball. * * * I ASKED an athlete who looked like he could tell me what I want- ed to know. He said he could and invited me to play basketball while waiting for the playing to start. I accepted. I shouldn't have. As we raced toward the other side of the gym I shouted, "How many games do they play each night?" He made a back-hand- ed basket and answered, "six." We ran back and forth for an- other fifteen minutes before I found out there are fifteen points to a volleyball game. The game continued as I tried to think up another question and breathe at the same time. * * THE VOLLEYBALL teams are divided into four leagues of four teams each. The teams play one set with each of the others in their league. Then the winners of the vari- ous leagues are matched against each other for first place and the same procedure is followed for second, third and fourth places. The standings are based on the percentages of games won over the games lost. ON TOP IN THE A league with a narrow margin, the Dodgers have won 10, lost 2 and still have six games remaining. The Hawaiians are close on their heels with 9 wins and 3 defeats. The Ramblers "A" have won 4 and lost 8 while Omega Deuteron have dropped 11 and taken 1. In the B League the Owlers 11-1 have a narrow lead over last year's champions, the Mis-Fits, 10-2. The Nakamura Co-op has won one and dropped eleven. The Ramblers "B" have two wins and 10 defeats to date. The C and D Leagues have only completed one round of playoffs. The Newman "A's" beat the Hill- topp.;rs in a 5-1 victory. The Mich- igan Co-opers downed Azory Mu Pi by a 4-2 score. The Physical Eds romped over the Newman "B's" to pile up a perfect score of six wins. Mich.

Residence Sports I~ By JOHN CASE After twice battling to scoreless ties, Phi Delta Theta trimmed Beta Theta Pi, 9-0, yesterday afternoon at Ferry Field to cop the fraternity touch football crown. Last week the clubs floundered around in the Wines Field mud for four scoreless quarters, only to have the contest stricken from the records. LAST TUESDAY afternoon at Ferry Field, the same situation was repeated before the game was called on account of rain after the first half. Regardless of how long it took the Phi Delts to assert their au- thority over the Betas, they real- ly proved themselves to be true champions in every sense of the word. The Beta Theta Pi of- fensive attack was completely throttled by the fast-charging Phi Delt line, sparked by big Dick Strauss throughout the game. Phi Delta Theta opened the game by kicking off to the Betas, who put the ball in play on their own 25-yard line. A FEW MOMENTS later, Dick Strauss fell on a fumbled Beta lateral on the 20, and it was only a matter of three plays for quar- terback John Madden totoss a 20- yard pass to center John Malloy for a touchdown. Doug Wick's extra point at- tempt was good, and the Phi Delts led, 7-0.kAgain the Betas received the kickoff, this time on their 25, only to have safety man Gerry Hahn intercept a misdirected Beta toss for the Phi Delts on the 30-yard line as the, first quarter ended. But Beta Paul Veith bounced right back and grabbed a Phi Delt pass on his own five. A few plays later, Strauss broke through the Beta line to catch the passer be- hind the goal line for a safety, making the score 9-0. BETA THETA PI kicked from their 20 to the Phi Delt 40. and after failing to gain, Blair Moody punted to the opposing 40-yard line as the half ended. In the second half, the Phi Delts received the kickoff on their 20, and again were stopped after three downs. Moody kicked to midfield, whree Captain Madden intercepted another Beta pass for the Phi Delts on the 40. Halfback Doug Wicks then passed to Madden for a first down on the Beta 45-yard line. But here the Phi Delt jugger- naut was stopped; they punted to the 25 as the third quarter ended. Quarterback Johnny Johnstone threw to Jim DeBoer for a first down on the 45, as the vaunted Betas began to roll. "'t ! 4 HOWEVER, after getting to midfield, they punted to the Phi In fraternity swimming meets held last night Sigma Phi Ep- silon drowned DU, 39-25; Sigma Chi beached Tau Delta Phi, 46- 19; Phi Kappa Psi was 46-19 better than Trigon. Phi Gamma Delta swamped Chi Phi, 34-15; Theta Xi showered Psi U., 30- 17; the Betas went 38-28 over ATO; Theta Chi handled Chi Psi, 39-27; DKE splashed 41 over DTD's 23. Delt 35-yard line. Wicks completed another toss to Madden for a first down at midfield. Here DeBoer stopped the Phi Delts by intercepting another pass on the 40.. Phi Delt Jim Ge- larum stopped a Beta scoring threat by grabbing one of their passes on his own 25 as the game ended. In the second place playoffs, Theta Chi nosed out Psi Upsilon, 2-0, on a safety; Zeta Beta Tau whitewashed Phi Sigma Kappa, 13-0, in the third place division.
