As a brilliant, but somewhat cynical baseball writer once observed: "Everyone has a pennant winner before the season opens." Apparently this is as true of Intramural football teams as it is of major league baseball clubs. After the smoke had cleared after the Intramural league's first draft meeting, all three selecting committees seemed completely satisfied. "We're loaded," stated Frank Trumbower the Delta Sig representative. We're going to feature mainly a single wing and we've got the material to tear the league apart." "We've got the best balanced squad of the three," piped up Charlie Meyers. "We've got 24 of our first 31 choices." Pershing Rifle Manager Jim Hermann would not concede a thing. "I couldn't be happier about the draft," quoth Hermann. "We went out for a good line, and we've easily got the best in the league."
Stormy skies proved an omen for a stormy afternoon at San Jose last Saturday, as the Dons were stopped by a hailstorm of Spartan base hits in the first game and by a regulation rain storm in the night cap. It was just one of those days in the lead off game. The final score had the Staters on top, 10-0. The Spartans put together five base hits, two stolen bases, and an error to total four runs in the first inning and dominate the game from the start. Hal Kolstad, San Jose fireballer, held the Hilltoppers hitless for the first three frames until shortstop Charlie Meyers slapped out a single in the fourth.
