Kirkland Takes House-College Garlands; All Other Houses Fall Before Yale Rivals

Bulldogs Take Touch Football Crown

Davenport 13, Winthrop 0

Scoring in the first and fourth periods, Davenport College blanked Winthrop, 13-0, yesterday afternoon as the two third-place teams in each intramural league fought it out for inter-University laurels.

Winthrop exhibited a porous defense and an inability to move the ball on offense. Its most sustained drive reached the Davenport 15, mostly via the air, when the final whistle sounded. Harvey Thayer was Winthrop's most effective ground gainer.

The winners got the first break of the game when they downed one of their own punts after a Winthrop back had accidentally touched it. From the Winthrop 15, Davenport moved to the one on two plays, and from there Dick Moses bulled his way over. Bud Krch dropped back from his guard post to kick the extra point.

Interceptions foiled Winthrop's aerial attack in the second and third periods. In the fourth quarter, a Davenport interception paved the way to its second touchdown. Taking over on their own 30, Davenport scored on a fancy reverse followed by a pass from Bob Massey to Tony Hovey, who outraced two defenders to the goal line.

Trumbull 13, Lowell 0

The Trumbull eleven manipulated all the strings in the nether regions of Soldiers Field late yesterday afternoon, dangling Lowell House at the bottom of a 13 to 0 score.

The Bulls of Yale made only one display of weakness, a taunting fumble on their own 13-yard line in the second quarter. Lowell recovered for its brief moment of glory. The subsequent four plays--including three passes--gained a total of one yard.

That was Harvard's lone threat. Previously, with passer Don Wohitman as the prime mover, Trumbull had gone 45 yards in nine plays--Captain Frank Hartung scoring--and bucked across after 25 yards--Ross Cowan scoring. Harold McCauley's .500 placement record put the figures into the final order before the half.

Primarily by the efforts of punter Roger Wales, plunger Bob Woodruff, and line bulwark Tony Ripley, Lowell managed to hold the Bulls at bay throughout the second half, but the harder and faster charging Elis frustrated all attempts at a sustained offensive.

Saybrook 6, Adams 0

Saybrook College trotted out on House field number three yesterday afternoon, eager to toy with sixth-place Adams House and prove why it rated second in the Yale football league. But instead, of an adding machine score, the Yalies made it over the end zone stripe just once.

This was just once more than the Gold Coasters could manage, and Saybrook edged out a victory, 6 to 0. But in the course of yesterday's game, the most exciting of the day, Adams scared Saybrook more than once.

The Blue picked up its first tally in the second quarter, and was soon threatening again from the twenty yard line. Sandy Evans snared a Yale pass and started off for the Eli goal line. He picked up 80 yards before being pulled down on the 10 yard line. Saybrook's fine defense kept Adams from pushing across, but the Gold Coast defense matched it for the rest of the game.

The second half was see-saw, scoreless football all the way, due mainly to the line work of Adams' Frank Holt and Bill Boucher.
