leading the parade with 10 points.

game when on Tuesday night they
came out on top in their encounter
with Battenfeld, winning 31 to 22
after leading 16 to 13 at the Sal:
time intermission.

Wednesday night saw the Si

been undefeated. The “David who
slew Goliath” or in this case proba-
bly the other way around was the

 

tall Tennessee’ Club which was
simply too hot for the Deilt’s, whom
they trimmed 40 to 32. The Mathews
brothers were the big guns in the
Tennessee attack as they scored” 22
points between them. Stowits. also
helped pave the way for the Delt’s.

scare by Battenfeld before they final-

ly won out by a 38 to 34 count. Go-
ing into the final quarter, Batten-_

feld held a-five point advantage, but

picked by Dr. Allen from nomina-

In case two or more teams should
wind up in a tie, the playoffs will |

stated, ‘

You may think this is just too
much basketball (and maybe it
is) but you’d never think so if you
had heard the conversation between
Kingman and the Mathews brothers,
Tennessee Club players, following
their victory over the Delts. All

 

 

|in all, it went something like this:

“I don’t see why we don’t move
Monday’s and Tuesday’s games up
to Saturday and Sunday and round
up league play, and then start an
8-team elimination tournament on
Monday, do you? Why, it would
only take three days, and then we

| could have the all-star game and
| the game between the league win- |
|ners and the tournament winners.”

Whew! Anyhow, one of the Ten- |
nessee boys stated that he had “big |
plans” for Saturday and Sunday, and
that he wasn’t going to play basket-

So that put an end to all |

Incidentally, this is the general
spirit and enthusiasm of all of the
players, many of whom are just
entering college. According to Dr.

; Allen, the sportsmanship at the

spirit of the players has been very
high, especially in some of those”
nip and tuck battles.

“After July 1, -we’ll-get intramural
softball, tennis; and golf underway.” :

off on intramural basketball, not
starting again until around July 12.

he added.
With an engineer coming tomor-
