Al Price sparked the Delts to their win while tossing three touchdown passes, and setting up another TD. Price started the scoring when he connected with Jack Demorest in the end zone. Late in the fourth quarter, Price added insult to the already injur- ed Alpha Epsilon Pi team as he tossed to Demorest for one TD and handed-off to Demorest who pass- ed to Don Davidson for another. The losers lone touchdown was the result of a pass from Herb Zarrow. to Don Mazin. Two pass interceptions that were carried for touchdowns provided enough points to secure a victory margin for Sigma Alpha Epsilon as it topped Beta Theta Pi, 21-7. The Betas had the ball at the mid- field stripe early in the first quar- ter when Ron Norene intercepted a pass and carried it 40 yards for a tally. On the,first play after the kickoff, Norene again intercepted and ran for a score. The Betas were never able to top this lead, but a pass from Gor- dy Barns to Terry Iverson netted them a TD. The final SAE touch- down came about when Bill Ber- nard carried the ball through the center of the line into pay-dirt. Sharp passing by Hal Cruger ac- counted for three of the scores as Lambda Chi Alpha dumped Phi Kappa Psi, 25-14, in a second place playoff. In another second place playoff tilt, Phil Jacobus passed for all the touchdowns as Sigma Chi walloped Alpha Tau Omega, 16-6. In a third place playoff, Phi Kappa Sigma edged - Phi Sigma Kappa, 7-0, on a scoring pass play from Nate Knouse to Jim Vukovich. The other third place playoff game ended in a tie, but Delta Kappa Epsilon won in over- time to top Tau Kappa Epsilon, 7-1. A pass from Jim Reindell to Carl Eckert netted the score. A TD toss from Buzz Newton to Curt Wells gave Sigma Phi a 6-0 edge over Zeta Psi. Trigon whipped Acacia. 12-7. Both games were fourth place playoffs. Gomberg Depth Overcomes As South Quad Teams Fight Taylor Firsts to Close Finish By HAP ATHERTON It wasn't until the final race was held in the intramural residence hall track meet last night at Ferry Field that Gomberg House took the championship over Taylor House by a scant 27%-27/2 margin. With, only the low hurdles re- maining, Taylor was leading Gom- berg by .a % point margin, but Gomberg's Tim Hayes captured third in the event, just edging out Taylor's Dave Zolotow and giving the meet to Gomberg. Fred Potter of Cooley House copped first in the crucial race, covering the 65 yard distance in :08.6. On his heels was Adams' Melvin Edwards, who placed sec- ond. Zolotow Takes Highs Zolotow blazed over the 65 yard high hurdles in :09.4, to give Tay- lor one of its five first places in the meet. Edwards took second in the highs and Jim Rieder 9f Reeves copped third. Taylor gained another first place as Dick Egner breezed '0hrough the mile run in 5:06.7.. Gomberg captured both second and third in the event as Dick McQueen took second with Ed Godfrey on his heels. One of Gomberg's three firsts came as Jim McClurg paced the field with :11.6 to take the 100 yard dash. Ken Spurgat captured sec- ond place for Allen-Rumsey while house-mate Dick Bach and Lloyd House's Jack Watson tied for third. Gomnberg Takes 440 Blain Harper, captaining the Gomberg squad, finished first in the quarter mile with an excellent :59.4. Lloyd's Larry Green fol- lowed in second place with Allen- Rumsey's Guy Berry taking third. In the 880 yard run, Taylor earned another first as Bob Jones covered the distance in 2:15.7.

The powerful Gopher eleven will probably find at least four second- year men facing them when the whistle blows for the opening kick- off in Saturday's tilt. Quarterback Jim Maddock, halfback Ed Shan- non, and ends Ron Kramer and Tom Maentz are sophomores who seem likely to be in the Wolver- ines' starting lineup. In addition, backs Terry Barr and John Greenwood, and linemen Jerry Goebel and Mike Rotunno are likely to see considerable ac- tion against the surprising Minne- sota team. All eight sophomores received stiff workouts as the Mich- igan coaching staff put the Wolver- ines through one of their hardest practice sessions of the season. In a scrimmage which included crushing blocks and bruising tackles, unknown in recent mid- week practices, the varsity men showed unusual spirit as they ran against Gopher defenses and de- fended against Minnesota plays. when an upstart Gopher eleven claimed it, 34-7. It promptly found its way back to Ferry Field the following year, and the Wolverines kept it there until 1927. It was in 1926 that it was rocked the hardest on its shelf. Michigan's great '26 squad, which had already smashed the Go- phers 20-0 that season met them in a second contest up in Minneapolis, and it was there that one of the most dramatic of all jug battles was to take place . . . two titanic teams fought it out in icy weather, and it was Minnesota that took a 6-0 second period lead. The Gophers dominated the game from there on, and it looked like the jug was lost, when, like a page from fiction, Michigan's great Ben- nie Oosterbaan-the same man who will guide Wolverine fortunes this Saturday afternoon-scooped up a Minnesota fourth quarter fumble and dashed 60 yards for a touch- down. He then booted the extra point to personally account for one of the greatest Michigan wins in history. The Gophers piled up 18 first downs to Michigan's two, but the Wolverines led on the score- board-enough to give them the storied Little Brown Jug. Doom Around Corner A Wolverine victory in 1933 made it 16 out of 18 jug victories for Michigan, but doom was around the corner. From 1934 to 1942 the Giants of the Northland under Ber- nie Bierman rolled over the Wol- verines without a break, and in 1935 inflicted the worst drubbing a Michigan team has ever taken- 40-0. Michigan was to start a string of its own in 1943, for it rolled re- lentlessly over the Gophers from SPORTS BOB JONES Night Editor NewT"Silvered-TiP" writes the way you do . fine, medium or broad .with out changing points.

Two victories especially stand out in that decade long string. Howard Yerges stepped into ail- ing quarterback Joe Ponsetto's shoes on a crisp October day in 1945, and with a display of crush- ing power, Crisler's Wolverines pulverized a very strong Minneso- ta squad, 26-0, to keep the jug string alive. 1949 again found the Wolverines up against it, for after losses to Army and Northwestern, it ap- peared as if Minnesota would run wild over Michigan. Bierman had Clayton Tonnemaker, Leo Nomel- lini, Harold Grant, and Billy Bye, but all of them couldn't stop Chuck Ortmann, who led the Maize and Blue to a 14-7 upset victory. The jug is gone now, for the first time in over a decade. It is up to the 1954 team to get it back.

It will take -some rugged foot- ball on the part of Michigan to stop the MacNamaras, Capelletti, Yackel and company.

University Girls Excell At Guessing In Grid Poll By STEVE HEILPERN It's a woman's world! After the grid selections of over 400 Daily readers had Peen tabu- lated, it was found that the women had an edge over the men in pick- ing the winners of last week's games. Actually, only 3.2 per cent of the selections sent in were by members of the "weaker" sex. Although none of the ladies could top the Daily's experts, they compiled an overall record of 73.3 per cent cor- rect on their guesses, while the men could do no better than 70.9 per cent. West Quad Tries The men of West Quad have nothing to be ashamed of, how- ever. They equalled the 73.3 per cent overall total. Unfortunately (for the males), this was the only men's group to compare with the ladies. The East Quadders came fairly close with 71.9, as did the men from the South Quad, who guessed right on 71.5 per cent of their pre dictions. Fraternity men slumped badly, guessing correctly on 69.2 per cent of the fifteen games listed. Merl attending the University but liv- ing outside the aforementioned housing units fared slightly better, with a 70 per cent overall total. Residents of the Law Club, whQ may be called upon to pass on im- portant judgements in later life, seem to have poor judgement as far as football is concerned. The future barristers scored on only 65.1 per cent of their predictions. South Quad Most Responsive A further breakdown of the men's figures shows that South Quad's residents were the most re- sponsive to the Daily's call, ac- counting for 22.6 per cent of the total number of selections re- ceived. There were many entries from off campus. Included in these were one from Michigan State College, one from Iowa and one from Ne- braska. Detroit residents account- ed for 1 per cent of the total, like Plaids? We've Scads! all ARROW-labeled for comfort and style a campus tradition through 8 generations HARRIS TWEED i4 i i.
