As the newly appointed Sports Editor for the Cluster it will be my
job to keep the Mercer student body up to date on all the activities going
on in the field. With the help of fraternity and sorority representatives
I shall try to keep you posted on all their Intramural Activities.
A new idea of my own, which
appears for the first time in this
issue, is a sports editorial on what
I call the Intramural Football Game
of the Week. As you know each
Tuesday and Thursday the fratern
ities, MIMA and the lawyers have
their annual struggles on the grid
iron. It is impossible to write up
each game as there are eight a
week so I choose the most outstand
ing ones and try to give them
credit. In this issue you will find
write-ups on the Snakes-Atoms,
and Crescents-Willards games.
Another new idea is to select the
players of the week and the most
outstanding team effort. The win
ners for the week of October 20-27
are: Tom Butler, Mike Crook,
Harry Davis, Rufus Dowell, Arthur
Browning, Tuffis Mallory and Pete
Black.
The most outstanding team ef
fort goes to Phi Delta Theta for
their efforts in their game against
Sigma Nu.
SNAKES TIED BY ATOMS
The ATO Atoms came to the
field last Thursday with a record
of one win and three loses. They
were to play the Sigma Nu and
were looking for their second win
of the season. The Atoms were
considered the underdog due to
their record.
The Sigma Nu Snakes kicked off
to the ATO Atoms who drove on
two plays to the Snakes 10-yard
line but lost the ball on an inter
ception. The Snakes could not get
their offensive team into gear and
finally lost the ball on an inter
ception to the Atoms. ATO then
moved the ball to the Snakes 5-yard
line. The next play was a pass from
Glen Cowart to Hunter New for an
Atom T.D. The conversion attempt
failed and the score was Atoms 6,
Snakes 0.
After the kickoff the Snakes
mounted an offensive which went
deep into Atom territory but
Cowart managed to intercept a pass
and thu ATO’a were on the run
again. Taking the ball on their own
20-yard line the Atoms tried to
move but the Snake defense held
them and they punted on fourth
down. The Snakes then took over,
but their short pass patterns, were
unable to shake up the Atoms’
secondary. On fourth down the
Snakes punted. The Atoms returned
the ball to their own 15-yard line.
The next play could have broken
the game wide open for the Atoms
but the pass which was intended
for Charley Stewart bounced off
his chest and the Atoms, after two
unsuccessful attempts, were forced
to punt again.

For the next few plays neither
team could get enough staam to
move forward. In the last of the
second quarter Harris, the Snakes’
Q.B. fired a long bomb which set
them up on the Atoms’ 6-yard line.
The next play the Snakes broke
through the ATO line to score their
first T.D. The conversion attempt
failed. The score was Snakes 6,
Atoms 6, at the half.
The third and fourth quarters
were mainly offensive thrusts with
the defensive units holding them at
the goal line. It was a real pleasure
to witness “Tuffie” Mallory’s de
fensive plays and Red’s high spiral
ing punts. It was also a treat to
see the ATO Q.B. turn red every
time a play didn’t work. With
neither team being able to score in
the second half the score remained
at the end of the game 6 to 6.
The Atoms’ 6 to 6 tie with the
Snakes is by no means the signal
that they are on their way to the
top. Their are other teams to be
played and the Crescents and
Willards haven’t had their chance
yet.
As for the Snakes, their two tie
games in a row is no indication
that they are losing their touch.
The Snakes offense is still very
powerful when it gets in gear and
its defense is also stiff. The Snakes
will probably win their next three
games and will still have a good
grip on the lead when they meet
the Eagles, who are currently un
defeated.
PHI DELTS — KAPPA SIGS
Tuesday, October 25 was the first
time that the Phi Delt Willards
and Kappa Sig-Crescenta had met
this year and the first great game
of the season.
The Willards kicked off to the
Crescents who moved the ball to
center field. The first play for the
Crescents was a 20-yard pass from
Crook to Dunnaway which put them

Wills’ defense then tightened up
and held the Crescents for two
on the Willards’ 2-yard line. The
cent in the end zone. The conver-
cent in the endzone. The conver
sion attempt was blocked.
For the rest of the first half the
two teams moved up and down the
field but neither offense could
score. It was in the last few minutes
of the First half that Mike Crook
scored the second touchdown for
the Crescents on a 16-yard run,
which took him past three Willard
defenders. The first half closed
with the Crescents 12 and the
Wills 0.
The second half started with the
Crescents’ kickoff which was taken
by the ''Wills' Q.B, Rufus Dowell.
Dowell with time to spare found
his man, Dave Willbenks, deep in
Crescent territory and fired a pass
to Willbanks who was brought
down on the 15-yard line. Three
plays later Dowell went over the
goal line for the Willards’ first
was good and the score was Cres-
score of the day. The conversion
cents 12, Willards 7.
The game then returned to a
defensive battle with both teams
trying desperately to score again.
The offensive teams proved no
match for defensive teams until the
last quarter when the Willards
mounted a great drive to the Cres
cents’ 6-yard line. With one and a
half minutes in the game, and four
downs, the Wills tried to cross the
goal line but the Crescents' defense
was too tough.
The Crescents then took over the
ball but were not able to mount an
offensive drive and punted to the
Willards. The rest of the game was
a great defensive battle with each
team giving their all to the effort
The final play found the Wills still
behind 12 to 7. Both teams played
a fine game.
