The Phi Delts disposed of defending champion Beta Theta Pi in a 49 to 46 thriller to capture the Fraternity crown, while the Cats easily defeated Pearson, 56 to 30, to take first place in the Independent league. In Fraternity "B" competition, 1954 champion Phi Delta Theta again defeated Beta Theta Pi. 51 to 48, to win the crown. The Schizos scored a 44 to 36 victory over Top 40 in an Independent "B" semi-final game. Phi Gamma Delta outscored defending champs Phi Delta Theta, 48 to 42, to win the Fraternity "C" title, and Army ROTC won the Independent "C" finals 46 to 33 over the Triturators. Phi Delta Theta won the Fraternity "A" basketball championship by defeating a tough Beta Theta Pt team 49 to 46. The Beta team led until the last four minutes of the game, but a fired up Phi Delt队 staged a furious rally and overtook Beta. Beta took the lead in the first minute and continued to pull BETA, 49 | fg ft t | P.D.T. 46 | fg ft t | Browlea | 1 10 5 | Graves | 1 2 1 | Brown | 0 1 2 | Stevenson | 0 0 1 | Mulliken | 2 1 5 | Stevenson | 0 0 1 | Wilson | 2 5 3 | Mueller | 0 0 1 | Franklin | 8 1 2 | Black | 2 3 4 | Alurie | 1 0 2 | Baldwin | 5 1 2 | Aurie | 1 0 2 | Baldwin | 1 1 2 | Greenleaf | 0 0 1 | Hadley | 2 2 4 | Cleavinger | 1 — | Becker | 0 0 1 | PEARSON, 30 CATS, 56 kg ft f fg ft f Ush 0 Snodgrass 0 0 1 Crawford 3 0 0 Cummings 0 1 1 Foster 3 0 0 Kerr 2 5 4 Preston 7 1 0 Criser 4 5 4 Stein'mer 7 1 0 Jones 0 0 5 Beck 2 1 3 Hogan 0 0 1 Bell 7 1 1 Gramley 0 0 2 Baker 1 3 — Innie 0 1 0 Totals 20 16 Rogers 1 0 0 Totals 10 10 21 ahead until the fourth quarter. Beta led at the end of the first quarter, 11 to 5. The Phi Delt team remained cold in the second quarter and at half-time it trailed, 26 to 15. Sixteen free throws were missed in the first half by the Phi Delts. A determined Phi Delt split took the floor at the beginning of the second half and began to pull up on the Betas. At the close of the third quarter the Betas' lead had dwindled to one point. After three Beta players left the game on fools in the final quarter, the Phi Delta took the lead with four minutes remaining. Maintaining a one-point margin until 15 seconds were left to play, Don Heath connected on two free tosses to ice the game for Phi Delta Theta. Heath scored 14 points to pace the winners while Ed Wilson and Don Franklin each scored 12 points to lead the losers. Hitting the basket with regularity, the Cats overwhelmed Pearson 56 to 30 to win the Independent "A" league title. The Cats took the lead in the first minute of play and steadily increased it throughout the game. The Cats led by quarters, 15 to 11, 26 to 17, and 41 to 23. A game Pearson team stayed --within striking distance during the first half but the Cats' second half dominance was too much for them. Pearson's hopes took a severe jail when center Jim Kerr left the game on fouls in the first half. Kerr scored nine points before fouling out. Phi Delts Play Cats Tonight for Crown Phi Delta Theta, fraternity "A" champions, will meet the Cats Independent champions, at 7 p.m. today for the basketball Hill championship.

TGIF Leon's AT La Tropicana Club (across the River, 434 Locust) BRING THIS AD AND HAVE YOUR First One Free (FRIDAY only----10 a.m.----5:30 p.m.) Betas Finals New York —(U.P.)— All-America Tom Gola of LaSalle, basketball's master craftsman who has been lauded by many as the outstanding college star of all-time, today was voted the United Press player of the year for 1955—almost by acclimation. Gola Selected Player of Year The 21-year-old son of a Philadelphia policeman was an overwhelming choice of 276 sportswriters and radio broadcasters who participated in the United Press all-America poll. Gola was the top choice of 169 voters, a remarkably high total considering the wide-open aspects of the ballot. Gola's closest rival for the honor was Bill Russell, San Francisco's all-America center who polled 40 votes. Of the 27 other players who received votes, none attracted more than seven. The 6-7 Gola, who gave real meaning to the overworked accolade "coach's dream player," drew unstinting praise from college and pro coaches alike for his superb versatility. Statistics tell only half the story of his great talents. In 26 regular season games, Gola averaged 24.4 points, his field goal shooting percentage was 43.8, and in free throws he shot 73.3 per cent. Gola is the ideal team player, as adept and intense about play-making as any other phase of the game. He was the inspirational leader who helped make stars of the four other men on the court with him. He was the durable guy who played an entire 40-minute game whenever the occasion demanded it. He was the clutch player who invariably came through with the "big" basket when LaSalle needed it most. He averaged 20.1 rebounds per game for the sixth best mark among college players. And although he nearly always guarded the star shooter on the opposing team, Gola committed only 63 personal fouls and was banished only once this season because of five personalists.

New MOSCER TAPE MOSSER TAPE 1107 Massachusetts Phone 50 Big 7 Swim Meet Starts; Iowa State the Favorite Coach Doug Wall takes his winless Kansas swimming team to Lincoln, Neb., tomorrow for the Big Seven conference swimming meet to be held tomorrow and Saturday. A fifth place appears to be in order for the Jayhawks since neither Kansas State nor Missouri is sending a team. This year's meet, as usual, will be $ \textcircled{9} $ a two-team affair, with Oklahoma and Iowa State fighting it out for supremacy. The Cyclones are picked as the favorites in view of their victory over Oklahoma in a dual meet during the regular season. Last year Oklahoma won the meet, then had to forfeit the title to Iowa State when it was discovered OU had used an ineligible man. Kansas, by virtue of the forfeit, finished second ahead of Colorado and Nebraska. Several records will be in danger and one national record, the 400-yard free style, may be broken. The Iowa State team, composed of Jim Valeau, Pete Janss, Sandy Stewart, and Jim McKevitt, broke the American and NCAA record in this event in a dual meet with Kansas Feb. 5 at Ames. Winners of 10 of the 12 events in last year's meet will be back for another try this year. Top men among these will be Graham Johnston of Oklahoma, McKevitt and Mike LaMair of Iowa State, and Lynn Meiring of Oklahoma. Johnston and McKevitt are freestylers and LaMair and Meiring swim the breast and back stroke, respectively. From all appearances Oklahoma and Iowa State should take all the firsts and seconds and most of the thirds, leaving the fourth and fifths to the also-rans. should be examined today, Call for appointment.
