LEVERETT GRIDDERS ROLL AGAIN

Leverett House pounded out an 13-0 victory over Quincy yesterday at Field 1 and again looks like the team to beat in intramural football. Leverett had a perfect, unscored-upon record last fall.

Keith Hutchinson '67, threw a 40-yard touchdown pass to Dave Campbell to place Adams to a 12-6 win against Dunster in other action yesterday.

Leverett took advantage of Quincy's punt formation woes after a scoreless first half. They scored after a bad snap caused the Quincy punter to touch his knee to the ground on his own 13. They also blocked one punt and foiled a running play on a fake kick.

Winthrop Stops Eliot

Winthrop stopped Eliot 14-0 and Kirkland whitewashed Dudley 27-0 in Monday night's action. Winthrop and Kirkland lead the league with 2-0-0 slates; Leverett is 1-0-9.

Leverett, Winthrop and Kirkland Houses are the main contenders for the league title. They are all strong and experienced, and any one of them could come out on top.

Junior lineman Dick Kelley considers this year's Leverett squad as good as last year's undefeated champs. Only two men have been lost through graduation. Leverett relies on an all-junior backfield of Steve Ekdahl, Jim Powell, Jim Thompson and Steve Maynard. Powell is very fast in the open field.

Leverett uses a two-platoon system with a line that averages over 200 pounds. Key to the defense is Joe Augusclak '66, captain and linebacker. One of the best of a good crop of sophomores is Ed Stump at offensive center.

Winthrop House, coached by Joel Strong '66, is a strong contender. The team is loaded with athletes who have already proved themselves at Harvard, including quarterback Mitch Sikora '66--J.V. baseball second sacker.

Fullback Tag Domment '68 plays varsity hockey, as does senior halfback Dex Newton. But the big Leverett-Winthrop game is November 9, a week after the hockey season begins, and it is doubtful whether these backs will be available. Halfback Tom Stuart '63 and junior middle guard Don Weidner play important roles in the Winthrop attack.

Kenneth Deitch '60, Kirkland coach, relies on three junior backs and a sophomore speedster for his offensive punch. Joe Gavin, Bruce Corker and Fred Golinko, all juniors, and Dave Black handle Kirkland's running chores. Deitch believes defense is paramont in the intrumural league. "A club that scores a touchdown and one half per game is very likely to win," he says.

Kirkland has a new quarterback, Greg Studen '67. Although he has no intramural experience, Deitch thinks he is learning very quickly.

Keith Hutchinson has been this year's most spectacular player. He had a 94-yard punt against Winthrop last Thursday, and his passing has sparked the Adams offense. Hutchinson worked with the varsity for a while last year when punter Harry Van Oudenallean was injured, but Harry returned sooner than expected.

Hutchinson considers intramural football excellent relaxation. "It's great," he says, for those who aren't good enough for varsity ball or can't afford the time it demands."

Rick Farlow '68, Leverett guard, explained the significance of practice in intramural play. About 15 to 20 players show up for practice. The team works out a specific set of plays, but they don't number the holes in the line as a more practiced unit would. The number of plays is much smaler than in high school ball.

About 275 to 300 boys are playing tackle football this year, according to Floyd Wilson, director of intramural athletics.

The intramural season ends the week before the Yale game. All the teams will go to New Haven for matches with the Yale Coleges November 19, the weekend of the Harvard-Yale game. Each House has a traditional Yale rival, but the champions from each league are always paired up.

Tomorrow Lowell meets Dudley, and Eliot battles Dunster at 2:15 at Field W. Winthrop meets Kirkland in a big game at 3:30 on the same field.
