The Slipstiek Slickers and Rally
Club ( will meet this afternoon at
5:10 p.m. on the varsity practice
field in the first of a three-game
series to determine the intramural
footfcalt champion.
The Slickers and the Rally Club
aggregations are the only remaining
sextets and both clubs have been
undefeated this year. The two teams
w;H meet Tuesday afternoon in the
second of the three-game series,
with two games being necessary to
win the championship. Should one
team win the first two games,
third would not be necessary.
Rally Club I entered the finals by
eliminating the Slimy Slimes 18-12
in a game played Tuesday after-
noon. The game was one of the
closest games that has been played
this year, and the Slimy Slimes were
still challenging for the lead when
the final whistle blew. John Tom-
forhdc and Taylor were the big guns
on the Rally Club's offensive, with
Paul Palmer coming in for his share
of the credit. For the Slimy Slimes,
it was John Fox repeatedly breaking
up what looked like perfect plays
The loss eliminated the Slimy
Slimes from the tournament.
Slimes Took Dewey
The Slimy Slimes overwhelmed
the IJSS Dewey in yardage gained
last Friday afternoon but barely
eked out a 6-0 victory as the Dewey

offensive clicking and were easily
the best team on the field as they

record. The loss eliminated the
Dewey from the tournament and ad-

smaller fires, cat-napping in the big
heaps of hay that Tony furnished,

Bonfire Fight Recalled
Notices had been posted in Sally
port calling for every red-blooded
man to report for duty, and a few
excursioners were captured the
night before, summarily shaved
bald, and sent home to College Sta-
tion. It was around four in the
morning when they unloaded
from moving vans out on Main
Street Police squad cars were
present to curb any mass slaugh-
ter; sirens screamed and bugles
blew and every he'll in the dorms
sounded the alarm. Searchlights
from west Hall tower raked
the trees along, the bayou—
all in good movie-jailbreak form.
Men swarmed out of the halls into
the field, weapons in hand; but the
impressive ring of defenders around
the woodpile was too formidable,
and they left without offering bat-
tle. Oh, the dawn was cold for the
watchers that morning, but it finally
came, and weary triumph was in
their eyes when they trudged off to
classes, hay still in their hair.
Well, we've got a real war now,
and bonfires are a thing of the past,
but if sacred tradition means any-
thing to you, you'll be out by West
Hall Friday night with us, by torch-
light, yelling and singing with Tony
and the band and the inevitable Mr.
Caiothers, and wishing hard that
the calendar were a year or two
younger.

reports are to be presented to Coun-
cil.
New Organization
Also discussed was the question
of the organization of new student
organizations by a group of stu-
dents. These students present their
constitution and by-laws to Council,
which refers them to the Constitu-
tional Committee, after which Coun-
cil makes final changes and deci-
sions. If the revised constitution is
not acceptable to the group of stu-
dents, it is returned with recom-
mendations. The constitution is not
accepted by Council and organiza-
tion is non-existent until changes
have been made.
This question of organizing stu-
dent associations will be discussed
at the next meeting of Council.

"Chuck" Francis was crowned the
ch^mpi n of the boys* fall «l gl*«
Sunday afternoon after turning
back Lawrence Chapman 5-7, 8-1,
6-8. Francis, representing the Navy
Club, encountered no difficulty in
the last two sets, winning easily.
Chapman, however, was very much
in the running during the first set.
Francis was unseeded in the tourna-
ment and came up through the low-
er bracket while Chapman, seeded
number one, worked his way
through the upper braeket to enter
the finals.
Francis turned back Noonan Fri-
day afternoon on the varsity courts
to enter the finals. Chapman defeat-
ed Robberson 6-1, 6-4, for the right
to meet Francis. Neither of the two
finalists had dropped a set prior to
the final round and Sunday's game
was evenly matched.
