The greatly unden rated Junior Fire Protects came back in a Frank Merriwell finish to win 7-6. ' The Mechs, boasting one of the best scoring records in the touch- hall sport, were held to only one touchdown, and that early in the game. The Fire Protects defense was outstanding. Bob Bechtolt, Bill Lease and Bob Duerrstein, all sixty minute men, kept the Mcch’s star passers John Cotter, “Lefty” Mongeau and Danny O’Connell bottled up and Cotter’s running jaunts were kept to a minimum. Good defensive play on both teams kept the score down. The Mcchs score broke early in the game after a long punt by Joe Pruzinski put the hall on the Mech’s 30-yard line. A complete short pass set up the touchdown play. Then came a tricky reverse by the Mcchs that ended with Mongeau passing a 50 yard pass over the goal. The FPE defense. befuddled for a minute, failed to cover Cotter closely enough, al- lowing the agile John to share the hall hear the fence on a beautiful play. Mongeau was smeared be- hind the line of scrimmage on th attempted point after. ~ The play swayed back and forth during the rest of the skim}. ish, in one of the tightest {rays of the season. Three times the li‘l’lil’s were stopped by goal line stands. Then came the hectic final Ill) seconds that spelled victory for the firemen. The Moch’s fine stalling game ran out with 38 seconds still left in the game. O’Connell’s kick was short, out on the Mechs 35. A short pass to lineman Bechtolt set the ball up to the ten yard line where a short pass complete to Lease failed to gain an inch. Twice the Fire Protects were penalized for too much time out. After an incomplete pass over the goal was blocked only 8 seconds remained in the game, On the final play of the game——the gun going oil" as Pruzinski faded back to pass—h pass intended for Kcigher was smothered by the entire Mach backfield, but in their eagerness firemen Jimmy Gleason slipped in to grab the bounding ball for the tying touchdown. Then on the dc. cisive play of the game Pruzinski’s accurate pass to Bechtolt spelled the FPE’s winning point which completed the big upset game of the week. ‘i’i‘ifliri hidflii'iS—m— ithidbhihifi {Elli One of the oldtime favorites is a song called “Whistling in the Dark.” Last week’s Alpha Sig-Phi Ksp game produced a lot of whistling in the dark in the last few seconds of the second half. After the Phi Kap’s capitalization on the A.P.’s fumble the A.P.’s lined up and proceeded to heave long, high passes into the end zone. By this time the field had become very dark and all the lads could do was to stick up their “mitts” and hope. HMM, maybe the A.P.’s don’t live right. Any- way the passes were of no avail. Buck up boys, lights will be fur- nished for the nocturnal affairs upon request to the first vice presi. dent in charge of red tape. To a school that can devote. neither sufficient time nor enough money for regulation eleven man football, the six man game offers an excellent moons for satisfying those who arc desirous of par- ticipating in the gridiron sport. Six man football has all of the advantages of its parent game, but, as far as we can see, none of its disadvantages. The most apparent of its advantages is the great abundance of Spectacular, wide open play, which makes the game colorful, even for the line- mzm, who in the eleven man game rarely secs anything more spew tacular than the clcat torn turf. Since any man can receive a pass in six man football, even the line- man can run with the ball, and running with the ball is great fun -»—~ihal's why backs are backs. Few injuries Another important advantage of six man football is that there are a minimum of injuries, since thcre are few, if any, pile-ups. Injuries in regulation football usually oc- cur when a man is pinned and then hit. Almost all blocking and tackling in six man football is of the open field variety. As evidence oi” the small number of injuries, we havc the record of the game at the University of Chicago, where in two seasons of play there has been no mishap worse than 3. severe “charlcyhorse.” Unlike eleven man football the six main game: offers the small man an excellent opportunity to play on important role, since speed and agility are more than over at n premium. zit Chicago there are innohholi hoheduie it‘ElfiK {iii NOVEMBER 10 ‘i‘lllilii HM!

This Friday the football gang here at Tech is playing the Uni- versity of Chicago. The game, to be played at Stagg. field, promises to be very good, in spite of the fact that our men have had no ex- perience at six man football. We hold this opinion, since most of the men out for the team have had experience in high school or sandlot ball. They’ve all been keeping in condition by playing touchball, which as played here at Ai‘mour, is much like six man football with the possible excep- tion of tackling. We say possible exception since we are inclined to wonder when we see the Jr. mechs in action. This game also has further sig- nificance, since it seems to be the first step towards having intercol- legiate competition in six man football in the Midde West.

Roman Mankus, Sr. mcch, come on the field dressed in two sweat shirts. After two or three plays his outside shirt had been torn and he looked for all the world like Aim Corio in one of her most seductive moments. Freddy Lukens, Sr. chem, came out on the hold dressed in an “A“ sweater and neat fedora. As the towns lined up for the kick oii’ Freddy reversed both sweater and hot and played the rest of the game in this state. After every play the boys rescued Lukcn’o hat and fondly replaced it on his hood. 2‘ "F >i= Perhaps the art of gliding could he added to the HT sports cur- ricula, 'l‘hc site of tho flights could be up and down the “Wind Tun. nel” known as Federal street.

The Tools scored within the first five minutes of play when Kevin Quinlan snared one of Joe Dalton’s passes and the same com- bination worked for the conver- sion. A pass from Jack Chakoian to Hank Pachowicz resulted in a touchdown, but the Molecules failed to tie the score when the kick for the extra point was blocked. The Tools scored their lost touchdown when Joe Minga accidentally batted a pass right into the arms of “Chuck” Marncr on the Molecules goal line. The Molecules Wero behind throughout the second. half and with only seven minutes to play they opened up with an aerial ah tack that netted two touchdowns, one on a pass from Ted Kowalski to Jack Halloran and the other from Emil Pucci to Pachowicz. (Jo-ops Lorie- To Jerks Two days later the Jerks eked out a 6-0 victory over the Clo-ops on a mud laden field which was spasmodicully drenched with rain. The lone score came on a long pass from Roger Friewcr to Len Wasiclewski after a bad punt by the (Io-ops was grounded on the twenty-live yard! line. The main attack of both teams was based on running plays and short shovel passes because the water soaked ball was hard to handle. The (Jo-ops threatened to score in the last two minutes when they ran and passed the ball to the Jerks fifteen yard line, but Lou Marrcsc stopped the thrust when he intercepted a third down pass. Friewer threatened to break away and score many times dur- ing the game, only to be stopped by the slippery going. Molecules Taste Defeat Last Wednesday the Molecules suffered their first defeat in two seasons at the hands of the Jerks by a 13-6 score. Two partially blocked passes were the breaks that gave victory to the Jerks. One came late in the first half when Jim Flemr caught a de- flected pass and ran thirty yards unmolested for a touchdown. Was- iclewski’s try for the extra point was good. Hank Pachowicz re~ cclvcd the kickoff on the Mole- cules twenty yard line and ran eighty yards to a touchdown as- sisted by Jack Chakoian’s timely blocking. The attempt for the con. version was blocked and the J el‘ks lead at half time 7-6. Nine minutes after the start of the second period, the Jerks scored their last touchdown on a long pass into the end zone.

Both teams were hampered by the heavy going, and the Alpha Sig attack which features quick open- ing running plays bogged down considerably. With 2 minutes of play remain- ing, and darkness settling fast, the Phi Kaps puntcd deep into their opponent‘s territory. The slippery ball was mulled by the Alpha Sig safety man, and Ettinger of the P.K.’s recovered on the Mom line.

Early in the first half James heaved a long one to Tubergcn who stepped across for the score. A few plays later the Pi. Raps tal- lied again, James to Valentino. After an exchange of kicks James intercepted a TX pass and streak- ed to a touchdown, aided by good downfield blocking. To complete the first half scoring James tossed a short pass to Dahlcnberg in the end zone. At this point the TX defense tightened and the Pi, Kim attack was temporarily short-nip cu'itcd. They managed to eke out another score on a pass, James to Tubcrgen. This week Delta Lambda Xi, led by "Swivel Hips” Jacobs, will tangle with the Pi Kaps to de- termine the other finalist. The winner will meet Phi. Kappa Sig- ma in final competition for the in- terfratcrnity cup. posits Are you sports-minded?
