would really result in complications |

as then four. teams would be tied
for first, which would require two
extra nights for playoffs, providing
of course that the Delt’s and the
Tennessee Club win their games to-

_ Tennessee Club and the Phi Psi’s
should have, on their records, won
their games from Jolliffe and Bat-
tenfeld last night, as should the Sig
Alphs, the Delts, and Tennessee
Club against Jolliffe, Batenfeld and
Templin tonight—at least according
to dope. Pees

~ In last Thursday’s main game the
Beta’s defeated the Phi Psi’s 27 to
21 in a hard fought, closely con-
tested duel. Bob O’Neil, scoring six
points himself, held Phi’ Psi Kirk
Scott scoreless the first half while
allowing him only six points for the
entire game. Scott, it was, who was
supporting a better than 20 points-

a-game average. Don Diehl of the |

Beta’s was high scorer for the game
with 10 points. The Beta’s led 8 to
6 at the half in this low scoring af-
fair between what could probably
be considered the league’s two best
teams.

If the Betas take the title, the;
all-star team which will be picked
by Dr. Allen from nominations by
the other league teams might likely

have Scott (Phi Psi) and . Moffett
(Delt) at forwards, Bill Mathews
(Tenn.) at center, and Mathews,
brother, (Tenn.) and Dean Corder
(Templin) at guards. Then again
there are many other fine players -
_who can hardly be left out and,
they include Carpenter (Phi Psi)
McCormick and Stowitz (Tenn.),
Smith (Delts), Doores and Steph. |
ens (Templin), Gage (Sig Alphs) i
Kongs (Jolliffe), and a few others. If |
the Beta’s would happen to lose,
‘Diehl, O’Neil, and Malott, Beta stal-
warts, would certainly be in the.
‘Picture in the selecting of an all-_
star team.
Bob Allen, home from the Uni-
_versity of: Pennsylvania for a short
visit, has helped out by refereeing
a few of the games. Bobby, one of
K. U.’s basketball greats, has a year
_and a half more study ahead of him
before he will graduate as an M. D.}
When he gets back to Philadelphia,
he will be put in uniform by the
Army, but will go on with his stu-
dies. ‘ a ee
John “Thin Man” Buescher, one of
8 ; Dr.. Allen’s “iron five’ last winter,
m “has also been helping out by work.
‘ing several of the games. |
The Sig-Alph-Delt game was no
gentle affair by any means as one
of the Sig Alphs had to have three
stitches taken in a gash he received
above his eye, while one of his
‘teammates came out of the game
‘with a severely sprained ankle.
Likewise, two of the Delt’s weren’t
exactly looking spritely when the
dog fight was concluded.

had already dropped four games,
pulled a victory out of the bag in

ning 40 to 36. The ganie was one of.
those rough and tumble, wild and
wooly,  tipical intramural battles.
Gage of the Sig Alph’s and Moffett
of the Delt’s paced their respective
teams, each throwing in fourteen
points.

In the other game Thursday,
Templin had little trouble in win-
ning over Jolliffe, as Dean Corder
poured in 22 points to spark his |
team to their 48 to 28 ees |
Stephens of Templin and Kongs of.
Jolliffe also hit well, each scoring
14 points.
