Adams House will play Winthrop in the first intramural football game of the season on Tuesday, October 16, Adolph W. Samborski, assistant director of Athletics, said yesterday. The schedule provides for twenty games, divided into two equal halves. Should these halves be won by different Houses, there will be a playoff on November 20.
The turnouts for Eliot, Kirkland, and Winthrop have been large, each having enough men for more than two teams. Adams and Lowell, however, have been slow getting started. As of yesterday, they were in a nebulous state, but both expect to produce organized squads in time for their first games.
Samborski announced that the coaches for the teams are as follows: Bill Kelleher for Adams, Chief Specialist Paul Dunlap for Eliot, Arch Chesneau for Kirkland, Tom Murphy for Lowell, and Jack Norton for Winthrop.
Coach Chesneau, who has had the largest squad to date, said that he thought he could build a good team around Tom Lynch '49, left halfback, who looks like a sparkplug. Kirkland could be made, Chesneau felt, into one of the best of the intramural teams.
Also optimistic about his House's chances was Chief Dunlap of Eliot, who thinks he has a couple of stars in William Derby and Gene Brannigan, both of the NROTC and holdovers from last season.
