Intramural Lead

STOP
The end of the first week of
intramural football saw the Wild-
cats whip the Horn Hill Raiders,
30 to 2; the War Babies topple
the Border Bandits, 27 to 0; and
the Savages beat the Mets, 44 to 6.
The Wildcats, beaten in their
opening game with the Savages,
completely overpowered the pre-
viously unbeaten Horn Hill Raid-
. . . are designed for budget conscious
people. There’s no service charge . . . .
no minimum balance required, and 20
personalized checks cost only $1.50.
The impossible has happened. The great Texas Longhorns
were decapitated by the Arkansas Razorbacks. This week,
sportswriters and coaches throughout the country were search-
ing feverishly for a new number one team in the nation.
The Southwest conference is in great danger of being won by
an outsider, as far as the Longhorn fans are concerned. UT now
has a 1-1 record in conference play, while Arkansas is 3-0. It
seems that David may have killed Goliath, or is Goliath just
playing dead? If you will stay tuned to your radios every Sat-
urday afternoon, you will find the answer to this question and
many more. I might add that you will not find the answers
to your tests. I know, I tried it.
I have to add an apology to my faithful readers, my mother
and father, and those who had some extra time on their hands
and decided to waste it reading my column. It seems that I
predicted Army to win over Louisiana State. This may have
seemed like a good pick, but it wasn’t. Army played Virginia
last week and, I might add, the Mules lost. I hope that no one
will hold this honest mistake against me (the wrong pick,
not the column).
I was told to try picking 100 games this week. The reason
behind this suggestion, I gathered, was that my chances of
getting one game right are much greater than if I picked win-
ners in only ten games. I was going to do this, but then thought
how bad it would look for the sports editor to make 100 mis-
takes instead of ten.
The United Press International has come out with its new
top ten rating, and there are quite a few changes from last
week, with Texas losing and Michigan also going down the
path of the vanquished. If the remaining football season con-
tinues as it has been during the past several weeks, we may
see a couple more first place teams hit the dust. The new
standing is as follows:
1. Ohio State
2. Alabama
3. Notre Dame
4. Arkansas
5. Nebraska
6. Texas
7. Louisiana State
8. Syracuse
9. Georgia Tech
10. Florida
Let me change the subject for just a minute and inject a sport
that affects the SEU campus in a direct way. The Hilltopper
basketball team has been practicing for the past several weeks.
Any student who wishes to watch may do so, and I would
recommend it. If you want to get a better idea of what to
expect from the team and to know the team members better, it
would be advisable to see the team in practice. You also get
a better knowledge of the time and work put in by each and
every person connected with the sports program here at St.
Edward’s.
Now, for my weekly mistakes—I mean my football predic-
tions :
Duke over Army
Pittsburgh over Navy
Alabama over Florida
Illinois over UCLA
Notre Dame over Stanford
Ohio State over Wisconsin
Arizona over Wyoming
Baylor over Texas A&M
Texas over Rice
Oklahoma over Kansas State.

BzaygSotck,
medal at the Olympics in this
event, he worked under a great
hardship. The 260-pounder set a
new Olympic record with a toss of
200 feet, 1% inches even though he
had torn muscles in his rib cage.
“Every time I threw, it felt like
someone was trying to tear out
my ribs,” Oerter stated after-
ward. He had his right side froz-
en in order to prevent internal
hemorrhaging.
The swimmers and the basket-
ball team did a fine job also. The
basketball team defeated Korea
116 to 50 for its 45th consecutive
triumph since its introduction in
the games. “Bad News” Barnes
of Texas Western scored 26 points
in this one-sided game.
Another remarkable perform-
ance was turned in by 18-year-
old Don Schollander in swimming.
He won gold medals in the 400
meter free style (in world record
time of 4:12.2), the 100 meter free
style, the 400 meter free style re-
lay and the 800 meter free style
relay. With his performance and
the performances of others on the
swimming team, they have been
able to win 16 gold medals and a
total of 37 out of a possible 56.
The main event still to come is
the 1,500 meters in track and
field. This race will pit Peter Snell
from New Zealand against the
US’ Dyrol Burleson.
38 Records Set
In World Series
The recent World Series ended
the 1964 season by setting 38 new
records and tying 20 more. Mickey
Mantle led the way by setting 10
new records and tying two for
total series play. Mantle’s per-
formance this year allowed him
to set total series play records in:
most bases on balls (18), most
strikeouts (54), most runs (42),
most runs batted in (40), most
total base hits (123), most long
hits (26), most games played (63)
and most series played by an out-
fielder (12).
Pitcher Bob Gibson of the
champion St. Louis Cardinals had
his name added to the record
books by the most strikeouts in
the seven game series (31).
A few of the records tied were:
most times home stolen in a seven
game series (1)—Tim McCarver,
St. Louis and most consecutive
strikeouts in one series (5)—Mike
Shannon, St. Louis.
Of 18 new records set by the
clubs as a whole, the New York
Yankees set all but one. St.
Louis had the most grand slams
in one series (2). The Yankees
have most games won in series
play (99) and most games lost in
the series (65) just to mention a
few.
The United States Olympic
team had collected a total of 71
medals as of Tuesday, October 20.
Of these 71 medals, 31 were gold,
21 were silver, and 19 were
bronze: first, second and third
places respectively. The Russians
have garnered 48 medals—16 gold,
13 silver and 19 bronze.
The US team has been set back
twice in events that they expected
to win. Ralph Boston was beaten
in the broad jump by Lymn Dav-
ies from England and Hal Con-
nolly, ’56 Olympic gold medal
winner, failed to win a medal in
the hammer throw.
Two surprises were the wins in
the 5,000 meters and the 10,000
meters by Robert Schul and Billy
Mills, respectively. Schul showed
great strength in his “come-from-
behind” victory over Germany’s
Harold Norpoth with a time of
13:48.8. Mills’ victory came over
the world record holder, Ron
Clarke, and the best field ever
entered for this distance. Mills set
a new Olympic record by turning
the distance in 28:24.4. This was
the first time an American has
won these events since they were
introduced into the Olympic pro-
gram.
Al Oerter gave a fine show of
strength and determination in the
discus throw. Though this is the
third time Al has won a gold

ers 30-2 in last week’s intramural
action. Tom Cirkal, quarterback-
ing the Wildcats to victory, flip-
ped a sideline pass to Jim Bara-
jas, who rambled into the end zone
for a touchdown midway in the
first quarter. The scoring barrage
continued in the second quarter
as Cirkal lobbed a pass into the
arms of Dave Bieser, who carried
the ball over the goal line for six
points. A safety was all the Raid-
ers could manage in the Wildcat-
dominated contest. In the second
half, Pat Makin, Dave Bieser and
Charles Budde all collected six
points on passes from Cirkal.
However, the Wildcats were
jinxed in the extra point depart-
ment; they failed in all five tries.
In other games, the War Babies
toppled the Border Bandits from
the ranks of the unbeaten by a
score of 27-0, and the Savages
kept their perfect record intact
with a 44-6 conquest of the Mets.
Scoring in the Bandit-War
Babies game was limited to the
second half, as neither team posed
a scoring threat in the first two
quarters. The War Babies began
moving the ball in the third pe-
riod, as Kevin Shevlin scored two
touchdowns, one coming on a pass
from quarterback Al Semptim-
phelter. Shevlin and Bill Burow-
ski posted the extra points to put
the War Babies out in front, 14-0.
Two touchdowns and one extra
point were scored in the final
quarter to increase the Uar Ba-
bies victory margin to 27-0.
The league-leading Savages
blitzed the Met defense for twen-
ty-two points in the first period
and coasted to a 44-6 victory. Mike
Dow began the scoring onslaught
with a touchdown on a pass from
Savage quarterback Mel Bulot;
John Lucas finished it with
another scoring pass-play from
Bulot. Ron Baltruzak hauled in a
touchdown pass from quarterback
Joe Taggert for the Met's only
tally, and neither their offense
nor defense posed much of a bar-
rier to the Savage team.
