Basketball Scores
The Cats dominated the back-boards in the third quarter, and Bob Preston sparked the offense with three consecutive field goals. Jim Kerr paced Pearson in the third quarter with two free throws and a field goal.
Despite the one-sided 67-28 score, Pearson gave the Cats trouble in the first quarter, and for several minutes of the second, with a man-to-man rush. Pearson held the Cats to 15 points in the first period.
In the last quarter Mo Courville and Bob Conn paced the Cats, with 5 and 10 points respectively.
With three minutes left in the first half, the combination of Dick Reich and Bill Bell loosened the Pearson defense and the defending champion's smooth scoring machine began to show. Pearson trailed 14-32 at halftime.
After leading 21-18 at the half, Phi Delt scored only seven points in the third quarter to Lambda Chi's 10, making the score 28-28 going into the fourth quarter.
3 Point Halftime Lead
The Cats and Phi Delt will meet for the Hill championship at 7 p.m. Thursday in Robinson Gym. They also met last year; for the championship with the Cats managing a meager three-point victory to become the first Independent Hill champion since a team called the Galloping Ghosts won consecutive A championships in 1938 and 1939.

Frisco Wins 48th Straight; ReadyToDefendNCAATitle
To the surprise of absolutely no one, San Francisco today became an official entry in the NCAA basketball tournament and also the immediate favorite to pick up all the marbles.
The streaking Dons, who won the tourney last year, made themselves eligible for a title defense Tuesday night when they crushed College of Pacific 87-49 at San Francisco to clinch the championship of the California Basketball Association with a perfect league record and their 48th straight over-all victory.
San Francisco's bid-clinching victory was its most lopsided of the season. After trailing by 5-4 in the opening minutes, the Dons raced to a 47-25 halftime lead and rambled home from there. Bill Russell, the
Dons' 6-10 all-America center, played 37 minutes and took scoring honors with 28 points.
Frisco May Pull Out Stops
Another team may be added to the NCAA field tonight when Texas Tech can clinch the Border Conference championship by beating New Mexico A&M. Tech's heavily favored to win this one, with it, a first-round berth in the NCAA tourney against Southern Methodist, the Southwest Conference champion, March 12.
SMU tuned up for the journey by beating Rice 89-75, to finish with the first perfect league record (12-0) seen in the Southwest Conference since 1947. Big Jim Krebs paced the Mustangs with 30 points and they set a league record with a final average of 82.5 points per game.
SAN FRANCISCO—(U.P.) Phil Woolert. San Francisco basketball coach who usually takes mercy on staggering opposition, indicated today he may let his Dons run wild against their last four opponents to get ready for the NCAA tournament.
Washburn Second In CIC
EMPORIA — (U)(P).—An 18-point rally midway in the final half gave Washburn an 81-69 triumph over Emporia State Tuesday night for second place in the CIC conference. The game completed season play in the CIC.

No. 2 THE TORN PANTS
No doubt about it, they were ripped. A good pair of pants air-conditioned by a lousy nail. Immediately I thought how the loss of my pants would affect my wardrobe.
Having decided it was like taking bread from a starving man, I knew I'd have to save them. All manner of suggestions were offered by my slovenly companions. But none of them would work.
Then someone suggested Acme. "Hark," I said aloud. Perhaps they could solve my dilemma. Quickly, I hustled down to Acme and asked them to mend the unsightly tear while they cleaned them. Of course, I expected to be charged a nice premium to have the pants mended. But the friendly lady said Acme would be glad to fix them at a nominal charge.
I was shocked. Suspiciously, I retreated from the clean, ultra-modern Acme plant. How could a cleaning plant offer such overhead-eating convenience at such small cost? (I learned later that Acme gives so many extras because they sincerely appreciate patronage and know that satisfaction is a prime requisite in any business.)
When I had scrounged together the surprisingly nominal charge for having my pants cleaned and repaired, turned to the Acme plant. (Again, lucky for indigent students like me, Acme offers 10% off on cash and carry.) "Ho, Ho," I cried as I tore away the protective cover over the pants. "These soft, rich-colored, and new-bodied slacks can't be mine."
Laughing, I closely examined the trousers. Yet, once again I was foiled. The once gapping, ragged tear was now neatly blended into the fabric.
Why not take Acme all your slacks? Even the torn ones come out soft, firm and good-looking.
