By AL SCHWARZ Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon yesterday won the I-M football semi-finals to gain positions in the championship playoff. Lambda Chi overwhelmed Phi Delta Theta, last year's social fra- ternity runner-up, by a score of 20-7 to win a position in the first round playoffs which will be held next week. Captain Fran LeMire quarter- backed the Lambda Chi's to their sensational win. LeMire passednfor two touchdowns, ran for one and passed for two extra points. On defense he was also outstanding, intercepting three Phi Delt passes. LeMire passed to Jim Pickard for the first touchdown, and extra point. The second Lambda Chi touchdown came on a pass from LeMire to Dick Good. Chi's final tally came on a run by LeMire and a pass by him for the extra point. Phi Gamma Delta bowed out of the playoffs when they were beat- en by Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 12-6. Double Passes Click A\ double-pass play set up both of S.A.E.'s touchdowns against the Phi Gams. On the first of these plays Craig Morris passed to Carl Corneliuson who in turn passed to Ron Norene. The play covered forty yards. On the next play. Morris passed to Larry Wise for a touchdown. The second of these double-pass plays was a reverse from Morris to Corneliuson who in turn passed to Morris. This play was good for about 35 yards. The second SAE touchdown came on another dou- ble pass from Morris to Corneliuson to Bill Mestdagh. Again. the extra point attempt was unsuccessful. Fred Lyons ran back an SAE punt for 60 yards and a touch- down for the Phi Gams. The spec- tacular run was for no avail as it was called back because of a penalty. The Phi Gams finally scored on a pass from Jack Wheel- er to Van King. Zeta Beta Tau squeezed past Delta Upsilon in overtime to win a place in the second round play- offs. On the first play of the game Ivan Kushen passed to Harry Israel for a ZBT touchdown., DU bounced back quickly for two touchdowns. Jim Sergeson passed to Bob Adams and to Bob Brown respectively for the touchdown. ZBT retaliated with a series of plays which ended in their second touchdown. ZBT finally won in overtime play by the narrow mar- gin of four yards. In other games Sigma Chi beat ATO, 12-7. Forrester beat The Penthouse Seven, 13-0, and Tri- angle beat Beta Theta Pi, 26-14.

Here are this week's games: r O WIN in football, a team must have the desire to win. Without this desire, players are only ma- chines, only shells of what their real potential offers them. Last week, Michigan had its col- lective noses rubbed into the sod of Memorial Stadium. Michigan was not only beaten, it was humiliated. Certainly every player did his best out there at Champaign last week. But Michigan did not. As a team, the Maize and Blue did not have that desire to win-and as a result they failed miserably. The loss has tagged Michigan from coast to coast as just another flash in the pan. The "experts" said that it was a string of "lucky" games that boosted the Wolverines to the very top rung of collegiate football. When that string ran out at Champaign last Saturday, the vultures were quick to devour the carcass. Scribes the nation over gleefully pounded out the obituary of the team "that almost fulfilled its press clippings." Michigan became the "chumps of the west" to many. Champaign stuuents cheerfully predicted that the only bowl that Michigan will ever see now would be on a breakfast table. The team that had electrified the nation the week before, was now football's biggest goat. The team that thought it could do anything had a rude awakening to the facts of life. The biggest fact this team forgot was that football games are won by,60 minutes of vicious play. Michigan was far from a vicious football team last Saturday. They waited too long to get tough, and when the blue chips were down- they didn't have what it took to pull another miracle. All of this came to be because of an opponent that WANTED to win so badly that it did.. The Illini were so emotionally keyed that not even a brick wall could have stopped them . . . let alone a Michigan team that was playing its "flattest" football of the season. MONDAY Ben Oosterbaan and company be- gan picking up the pieces. The wreckage was cleared away-the workable parts put back in running order. The parts are all still there. The machine will work as good as it ever did if Ben can find some fuel. This Saturday a team from down in Indiana provides an opportunity to test this machine. No one needs a history book to tell them that the test will be anything but easy. It doesn't take an historian to hark back to the Michigan Stadium that grey November day last season. The 1955 Indiana yearbook-the Arbutus-summed it up very well indeed when it said "The big time boys were always aware of IU's potential. Remember the Michigan game? A lot of Wolverines do. They wish they had never heard of Bernie's boys. We saw a bat- tered Wolverine after the game muttering, 13-9, 13-9." Can Ben get the fuel to wreak revenge on the Hoosiers? We can only hope so. Michigan has to beat Indiana to stay in the running for the Big Ten title and a berth in the 1956 Rose Bowl Classic with UCLA on January 2nd in Pasadena, California. Not only must Michigan beat Indiana-but it must convincingly defeat them if the torn Maize and Blue banner is to be respected once again. There is an old football adage that goes "When Michigan loses, someone has to pay." We hope it is Indiana that pays in full Satur- day afternoon in the Michigan Stadium. PHIL DOUGLIS, Sports Editor WASHINGTON A)- M ov i n g swiftly to rebuild the Washing- ton Senators, the club's new presi- dent, Calvin Griffith, yesterday acquired five young players from the Boston Red Sox but had to surrender two of Washington's old proa, Micley Vernon and Bob Porterfield. It was a 5-for-4 deal as the Senators also gave up left handed pitcher Johnny Schmitz and re- serve outfielder Tommy Umphlett. In return for these players, the Senators acquired three pitchers and two outfielders, all 25 or younger. The biggest name among the five belongs to outfielder Karl Olson, 25, whom Griffith already has labeled Washington's center fielder. dhrisley Other Outfielder The other outfielder is Neil Chrisley, 22, a lefthander who bat- ted .320 with Nashville of the Southern Assn. last year. The three pitchers; all righthanders, are Dick Brodowski, 25,, Al Cur- tis, 23, and Truman Clevenger, 23. Vernon twice won the American League batting championship and wound up last year at .301. Brodowski made 16 relief ap- pearances with the Red Sox last year, winning one and losing none. I-1I Scores VOLLEYBALL Hinsdale 5, Allen Rumsey 1 Reeves 6.

Then to complete the humiliation, the Daily Women's staff, on a challenge by the Sports desk, submitted its entries, and, as you may have guessed by now, its average was higher than that of the sports staff. The twelve women entries com- piled an overall record of 104-76, for an average of .577, while the sports staff averaged only .466 with a 77-88 record.

'M' Practice Gains Spirit For Indiana The Wolverines pr acticed in earnest yesterday to try and re- gain some of their early season form, still remembering last week- end's tragic episode at Champaign. Again this week Michigan can- not possibly hope to be at full strength. Coach Bennie Ooster- baan is definitelyryorried over the left halfback situation. Terry Barr received an addi- tional wrench in his charley-horse and Jim Pace is still suffering from a sprained ankle. However, Pace may get the starting assign- ment at halfback in the Indiana contest. Dave Hill was seen on crutches yesterday afternoon, but practiced anyway. Lou Baldacci is still limp- ing and Tom Hendricks received a terrific clout on the head at Cham- paign. Both will be ready for ac- tion Saturday, however. .Qosterbaan sent the regulars through extensive offensive drills, which were followed by a scrim- mage against the reserves. In concluding an afternoon of rough contact work, the squad then turned its attention to a short work-out on the tackling dummies. Here the Wolverines began to show a little of the spirit which will be needed this Saturday, as it seemed that each time a pair of cleats dug into the turf and a body dove forward, there was a Hoosier running on the' receiving end.

Bud Wilkinson's top-ranked Oklahoma Sooners received word Monday "to go ahead and make plans to compete in the Orange Bowl" from Reeves Peter, Com- missioner of the Big Seven Con- ference. The Sooners are the first team to receive a major bowl bid. The Sooners last visit to the bowl was in 1953, when they beat Mary- land, mythical "national cham- pion," 7-0. Oklahoma's probable opponent? Maryland. * * * DETROIT M)-The Detroit Free Press said Tuesday night an agree- ment will be signed shortly be- tween the Big Ten and the Pacific Coast Conference to bar "in-per- son" scouting of possible Rose Bowl football foes. Scouting, the paper reported, will be limited to the use of films of two regular season contests. The suggestion first came from UCLA to Kenneth L. "Tug" Wil- son, commissioner of the Big Ten and was relayed to officials at Michigan and Michigan State, the probable Big Ten Rose Bowl can- didates. S* * * Joe Gordon was hired as first base coach by the Detroit Tigers Monday. Gordon, former second base great with the New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indi- ans, replaces Lynwood (Schoolboy) Rowe, who has been offered a job as manager in the Tiger farm sys- tem. This Has Happened .,. One of the most outstanding performances, ever, in I-M com- petition occured this fall when Gomberg House won the residence halls cross country title. The red- shirted athletes "walked" away with all honors by taking a first, second, sixth, seventh, and eighth with its five entries. Riskey was amused by an un- usual happening also this fall, when a team stormed to the I-M Building to protest a touch foot- ball game. It seemed that with the score tied with three minutes to play an interference penalty was called on a long pass into the end zone. The ball was placed down on the one yard line and a touchdown soon resulted. The eventual losers claimed that the referee was not in a position to make a decision and that an infraction was not made. I-M rules wisely deny a team's ,ight to protest a judgement of an official. The losing team did have a legitimate protest, I-M admin- istrators admitted, which had been completely overlooked. College football rules state that on an interference play in the end zone, the ball is td be placed one yard out with a first down in order. I-M rules, however, say that the penalty is one-halt the length of the field from the line of scrim- mage. The protesters had a hidden gripe, after all, and the remaining three minutes of the contest would be played over. Off They Go . . So far this season with two sports completely finished and twc more at significant stages, there are many familiar faces among the I-M leaders. Leading the pack in the resi- dence halls division are the spirit- ed, red-jacketed boys from South? Quad's Athletic Club-Gomberg It looks like another fine seasor for that well-organized house Close behind, one can find Taylor. Williams, and Lloyd. The social fraternity scramble sees Sigma Phi Epsilon, Phi Gam- ma Delta, and Phi Delta Theta out in front with Lambda Chi Alpha and Sigma Alpha Epsilon alsc among the early-season high-point getters. Finally, a new power has ap- peared on the independent tean level-the Seldom Seen Kids-whc seem to be winning all honors a present. 1 FI V VOTE FOR JOE COLLINS for SIDE C. _0 t U I1 NOW Is the time to go to Follett's Bookstore for the most won- derful selection of personal Christmas cards in town.
