Sports Corner
All-Intramural
Team Announced
By RICK CASEY
As a Christmas gift to campus football fans we are now
presenting the ‘6 4 All-Intramural football team.
This list was brawn from lists submitted to us by the
different coaches with their suggested all-star teams. From
these recommendations Mike Christofoletti, director of intra-
murals, and yours truly conjured our version. After cutting
several deserving members from our team our stomachs and
minds revolted and we couldn’t find it in our will power to
make the team any smaller. This is and explanation of the
fact that our team has two centers, six guards, four ends,
two quarterbacks, six halfbacks, and two fullbacks.

Congratulations to all those listed here and to those who
barely missed.
Hate to bring up a sore subject, but how long has it been
since a St. Mary’s intramural championship was won on a
forfeit? The fact that the Barons won the championship that
way is no- reflection on the fine brand of ball they played,
especially during the playoffs, but doesn’t it make you sick
at heart, Rho Beta?
I understand that the Rebels had considered losing to Rho
Beta in order to knock the Barons out of the playoffs. That
would have been quite a stratagem, but the Rebels preferred
to go undefeated. Well Rebs, your sorrow should be drowned
by now.
Sunday’s game showed that not even championship teams
are beneath using shady tactics. Both teams used questiona-
ble means to try to run out time while they were ahead. All
of those offsides couldn’t have been completely unintentional.
The basketball team, though not sporting a glossy record,
has shown unpolished potential that should be shining by the
time league play opens. I haven’t cancelled my reservations
to Kansas City yet.

points of the game. Their
first score was on a two yd.
plunge by Ken Habaicht.
The PAT attempt was no
good. Jim Zerillo accounted
for their second score with a
60 yd. run from a shotgun
formation. Zerillo passed to
Mike Lane for the two point
conversion.
Last Sunday’s matches were
set up by the two semifinal
games the week before. The
GDI’s played Tau Delta and
Sigma faced the Barons.
The Independents had an
easy time with Tau Delta de-
feating them 33-0 in what
turned out to be a practice
match for their final game.
The Barons surprised most
people by putting away Sigma
without much trouble, 23-6.
Bobby Gene Novae led the
Barons in the win over their
traditional rival with three
touchdown passes. Sigma
made their only score on a
pass from Ken Habaicht to
Tony Fender.

KENNY SAMPSON RECEIVES the NAIA All-American plaque
for his performance on last year’s Rattler team. Bro. Eugene
Gittinger made the presentation at the half-time intermission
of Tuesday’s game.
StMU’s Zone Style Pays Off,
Rattlers Turn Back A&I 61-53
After breaking even on a
four game road trip, the Rat-
tler cagers treated a native
crowd to a 61-53 victory over
Texas A&I Tuesday night.
Coach Ed Messbarger
flashed a new zone defense
throughout the game and a
point-prolific stall for the
last four minutes to give the
Rattler quintet their third vic-
tory against as many losses.
A&I managed to stay close
throughout the game until, with
four minutes left, Coach
Messbarger called for a time
out and had his team go into
a stall to protect a three point
lead. Buddy Meyer took over
and dribbled all over the of-
fensive court with the use
of well-placed screens. Mey-
er’s ball handling and de-
ceptive moves confused the
A&I team enough to allow him
to score on three easy lay-
ups. The Rattlers enforced
their stall with stout rebound-
ing power that gave A&I only
one shot. The Snakes’ ball
freezing tactics managed to
enlarge the margin from three
points to eight points by the
end of the game.
Meyer has led the Rattlers
in scoring, with an average
of 13.8 points per game. Al-
though Buddy is the high point
man, his scoring value is sec-
ondary to his skill in ball
handling and passing. He has
also been very tough from
the foul line, hitting on 28 out
of 33 foul shots.
FG AVERAGE
Hank Cox has averaged 12.2
points a game and has matched
his scoring with 6.2 rebounds
per game and tough defensive
play. He has a respectable
field goal percentage of 42%.
Richard Mabins has been
the most accurate member of
the team, hitting on 21 of 42
field goal attempts for 50%.
He has averaged 8 points and
6.7 rebounds a game.
Bonowitz is leading the Rat-
tlers in rebounding with 6.9
a game. He is also producing
top-notch shooting with 47%
from the field.
As a team, the Rattlers have
shot 41% from the field and
have averaged 54.5 points a
game.
Squeak Past GDI’s 22-21 in Thriller
Barons Win 8th Title in Row
The Barons won their eighth
consecutive intramural cham-
pionship in a row by squeak-
ing past the GDI’s, 22-21.
For the second straight year
the Barons beat a team in
the playoffs that had beaten
them during the season. The
Rebels downed the Barons 9-6
in regular season play but
couldn’t repeat the perfor-
mance.
The Barons were the first
to light up the scoreboard when
Bobby Gene Novak followed a
40 yd. run with a four yd.
pass to Gus Strauss for a TD
after five minutes of play.
Novak passed to Ralph Holt
for a two point PAT to make
the score 8-0.
The Rebels gained their
first score when John Hemmi
dropped the ball in the Baron
end zone to give the Inde-
pendents two points.
Late in the first half Novak
led a 65 yd. drive with 56
yds. worth of passing for the
second Baron touchdown. The
scoring play was an eight yd.
pass from Novak to Fred Poth.
The PAT attempt was no good.
With 15 seconds left in the
first half, the Rebels crossed
the goal line for the first
time on a six yd. pass from
George Rodriguez to Charlie
Orozco. The extra point at-
tempt failed. At the half the
score was Barons 14, Rebels
8.
The Rebels came out strong
for the second half with two
touchdowns in eight minutes.
The first one was a 40 yd.
run off a double reverse by
Jerry Simon. Again the Rebels
couldn’t score the bonus point.
The GDI’s third touchdown was
scored on a spectacular 47
yd, punt return that sawOroz-
co dodge the whole Baron team
to score six points. Caesar
Garcia booted the extra point
to put the Rebels ahead 21-14.
The Rebel defense tightened
up until, with four minutes
left to play, it loosened just
enough to allow Novak to toss
a 43 yd. pass to John Hemmi
for six points. The score was
21-20.
The Barons, losing by a
point, called for a PAT pass
from Novak to Holt. Holt
caught the ball on the 2 yd.
line and went into the end
zone to give the Barons the
winning two points. This play
was characterized by a con-
troversial call as to whether
or not Holt’s right flag was
grabbed before he reached
the end zone. The Rebels ar-
gued, but the score stood at
22-21 and that is how the
game ended.
BOBBY GENE NOVAK GETS a Rebel fist championship game. Novak completed the
in the face during action in last Sunday’s pass for a 26 yd. gain.
IT SWIMS
Ford Motor Company's new mili-
tary truck floats. Air-inflated seals
and internal air pressure keep the
body and mechanical components
dry. Its water speed is 2.5 mph.
IT CLIMBS STEPS
Climbing over a 27-inch high step
or negotiating a 60% grade when
fully loaded is no problem for this
Ford vehicle. Proof that it can go
over rough cross-country terrain.
IN FACT,
THE ARMY’S NEW
TRUCK
GOES ALMOST ANYWHERE
Early in 1963, Ford Motor Company received a contract
from the U.S. Army to design and develop a 5-ton cargo
truck for use in tactical military operations. Before the end
of that year, the first test unit had been designed and built.
This new vehicle, called the XM656 cargo truck, was sent
to the Aberdeen Proving Ground for 40,000 miles of testing
—twice that required for military acceptance. The vehicle
was tested against road conditions that might be found
anywhere in the world: swamps ... loose sand ... hilly back-
country . . . and highways. During the test, the truck carried
a 10,000-ib. payload and, half the time, towed a 13,000-lb. load.
Outstanding characteristics of the truck's design are its
foatability, improved cross-country mobility, light weight,
reduced need for maintenance and a multi-fuel power plant
that will run on anything from diesel oil to gasoline.
This is only one of many exciting new developments at
Ford Motor Company. From manufacturing to marketing,
we are finding better ways to do things. Career opportunities
at Ford Motor Company have never been better. Schedule an
interview with our representative to find one just right for you.
