THE SCROLL of Phi Delta Theta for January, 1954 223
Phis also found time to hold their anrmal pledge-active
football game. This event is one which every active and
pledge looks forward to. The pledges practice diUgently
and always field a highly spirited, well trained team
and the actives always come to the game with that good
old Phi Delt spirit—usuaUy we come out on top by
some fabulous score. After the game the losers buy for
the winners which may have something to do with the
actives winning. Ohio Theta is proud of its Phikeias and
the work they are doing in intramurals. With them we
hope again to win the all year I.M. trophy which we
won last year by better than lOO points G. WILLIAM

OHIO IOTA, Denison University.—With FaU activities
now concluded, Ohio Iota can look back at a rich
and varied program. Thirteen men in the chapter were
on FaU varsity teams—a number that exceeded that of
any other fraternity. The soccer team, under the leadership
of Co-Captains John Hunting and Bud Miller, finished
with a very respectable 5-3 record, while in footbaU,
end Don DeJong was garnering aU-conference
honors for his excellent defensive and offensive work.
On the intramural scene the tennis, football and speedbaU
teams all managed to break even. Chuck BeU, Harry
Rownd, Dave BiUet and "Bulldog" Heamon were named
to All-Star teams in these sports. Phikeia Phil Semler
and Co-Captain Don Dejong constitute two fifths of
the starting varsity basketbaU squad, while Jim CUck is
proving to be a mainstay on the J.V.'s. Homecoming
was a great success this year, with approximately fifty
alumni returning. For his very realistic portrayal of
Don Quixote, Lou McCombs won the annual "character
contest." Under the leadership of John Rosensteel, retiring
President of the Board of Trustees, plans for a
new wing to the house were introduced to those present,
and were greeted with enthusiasm. It is hoped that this
addition may be started within the next several years.
