(Chi O New Syndicate) The fighting female football warriors of Chi Omega sorority will meet a highly touted Kappa Kappa Gamma team Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 on the Blue Road Practice field, determined to win or go down fighting. After a week of strenuous practice sessions, the Chi Os are more than ready. Head Coach Walt Kichef-ski and Line Coach Roy Lewis have been drilling their charges on special variations of the Notre Dame system which Chi O will use. A tricky, hand-waving shift, and an extensive repertoire of tricky pass plays will be featured. Frequent skull drills have been held to familiarize Kichefski’s squad with the system, which depends on a fast, alert backfield and a hard-charging line for successful execution. The Chi Os will have a large reserve squad, and will probably substitute full teams during the game. "We’re gonna have a rough, tough bunch,” Coach Kichefski gleefully announced yesterday. At the same time, he said that officials for the game had been agreed upon, and that Rocco Flamiglietti, Seymour Simon, and Bill Dayton will officiate. Trainer Bill will be accompanied by his full stock of equipment to take care of possible and very probable injuries. The Chi Os will start Micky Meek-ins at center.

Coral Gables, Fla., Dec. 12 (KKG Press) Kappa Kappa Gamma’s touch-ball amazons rounded out their first week of practice today in fine style. The entire squad seems to be in good form and, barring practice injuries, will be primed and ready for the first Glamour Bowl next Tuesday. "We’ve got a sharp ball club here,” was the only comment made by Kappa coach Jack Flowers yesterday. Co-coach Robin Hart surprisingly enough refused to make a statement. Their charges spent most of the afternoon running plays and drilling on defensive tactics. After a closed session on Kappa Field, the entire team was transported to Salvador Park, where extensive passing and punting drills were held. Chi Omega scouts (about 20 strong) were on hand to pick up pregame information. The Kappas are depending on Bpeed and a potent passing attack for their scoring punch. Whiz Weis-iger, dead-eye passer, and Thelma Hall, glue-fingered receiver, are expected to spark the Kappa offensive thrusts. Winnie Wood is KKG’s punting ace. Starting at the pivot post for the Kappas will be Jeannie Vandevere. Thelma Hall and Hallie Mudro, a vicious blocker, will hold down the end berths. In the backfield will be a fine array of shifty runners. At halfback will be Winnie Wood and Dot-tie Ashe, who will be seen in action for the first time. Janie Cochran will pilot the team from the quarterback post. Star passer and rugged defensive standout Whiz Weisiger will be the mainstay of the Kappa squad and she will probably be the spearhead of the expected Kappa aerial bombardment. Tardy? Toss Another Nickel in the Pot Economics instructor Downes has a classful of problem students at 8:30 three days a week. At least half the class reports by 9 (if they rush). As the late comers file in they drop a nickel in the "kitty,” a little brown satchel perched on the desk. The first day after this plan was instituted, tardy admissions piled up to $1.15. This racket will keep up until Christmas holidays when the entire jackpot will be doubled by Downes (if not too large) and a basket will be made up for an unfortunate family. The class asks that the five students, who persist in being on time, get a little Christmas spirit and stay in the slop shop ten minutes longer. YM Deputation Team Discusses Church "Why I Go to Church” was the subject discussed by the YMCA’s first deputation team of the University at the Miami Springs Presbyterian Church on Sunday.

Chi Omega scouts (about 20 strong) were on hand to pick up pregame information. The Kappas are depending on Bpeed and a potent passing attack for their scoring punch. Whiz Weis-iger, dead-eye passer, and Thelma Hall, glue-fingered receiver, are expected to spark the Kappa offensive thrusts. Winnie Wood is KKG’s punting ace. Starting at the pivot post for the Kappas will be Jeannie Vandevere. Thelma Hall and Hallie Mudro, a vicious blocker, will hold down the end berths. In the backfield will be a fine array of shifty runners. At halfback will be Winnie Wood and Dot-tie Ashe, who will be seen in action for the first time. Janie Cochran will pilot the team from the quarterback post. Star passer and rugged defensive standout Whiz Weisiger will be the mainstay of the Kappa squad and she will probably be the spearhead of the expected Kappa aerial bombardment. Tardy? Toss Another Nickel in the Pot Economics instructor Downes has a classful of problem students at 8:30 three days a week. At least half the class reports by 9 (if they rush). As the late comers file in they drop a nickel in the "kitty,” a little brown satchel perched on the desk. The first day after this plan was instituted, tardy admissions piled up to $1.15. This racket will keep up until Christmas holidays when the entire jackpot will be doubled by Downes (if not too large) and a basket will be made up for an unfortunate family. The class asks that the five students, who persist in being on time, get a little Christmas spirit and stay in the slop shop ten minutes longer.
