Phi Delts,1952 Hill Champion Win Div I Title
Defending hill champion Phi Delta Theta clinched the division I title in Fraternity A basketball and a berth in this year's hill play-offs to highlight Thursday's intramural basketball slate.

Phi Delt 1, Triangle 0
Receiving a forfeit from Triangle,
Phi Delt chalked up its fifth consecutive win of the season to annex the division I championship in Fraternity A competition.
The Phi Depts now advance to the hill playoffs along with second place Delt Upsilon which plays its final game today, although already assured of a playoff spot.
Battentief 76, Sterling-Oliver 18 Behind a sizzling offensive attack, Battentief sped to a 76-18 triumph over Sterling-Oliver for their third win without a defeat. Both Battentief and idle Jolliffe, who clash next week for the division IV crown, are now certain of a position in the independent play-offs.
Pearson 36, Stephenson 32
An 11-point scoring spurt in the second half by Pearson's Charles Schafer provided the scoring punch over Stephenson. Pearson had a 14-13 edge at halftime but a third period rally by Stephenson gave them the upper hand.
Sig Ep 37, Theta Chi 30
Trailing 18-17 at halftime, Sig Ep found the range in the second half to post a 37-30 victory over Theta Chi. The Sig Ep offense was evenly divided as Gary Fenity was high man with 11. He was backed up in the scoring column by Dick Todd, Bob Killian, and Bob Wind with seven each. Top man for Theta Chi was Ben Croyle who connected for 11.

Harold Patterson, senior forward from Rozel, is second to Born with an 11.8 average through 12 games and Allen Kelley, co-captain from McCune, is third with an 11.3 mark. The Kansas scoring is evenly distributed through the first six men but after that the rest of the list dwindles rapidly. Bill Brainard, Born's replacement at center, has racked up 72 points but the seventh high scorer, Harold McElloy, has only 29 tallies in 12 games.

Distance Events Tops On Frosh Track Squad
By DANA LEIBENGOOD
Kansan Assistant Sports Writer
With an abundance of distance and middle-distance men in the fold, but a critical shortage of field event men, Coach M. E. "Bill" Easton's freshman track team has jumped into its 1954 indoor season.
Performances have already been recorded for the first postal meet with Colorado. The Kansas yearlings will be defending indoor conference fresh kings, last year's squad having had an all-victorious season.
Easton is worried about the four indoor field events, especially the high jump and pole vault. Only one performer has reported for each of these events and the Kansas coach is highly interested in additional men coming out for these, as well as for other events.
As usual, the Kansas distance corps rates as the strong punch for the young Jayhawkers. Grant Cookson, Green; Bernie Gay, Gardner; Jan Howell, Belpre; Lowell Janzen, Hillsboro; Jim Kelley, Mission; John Meigs, Mission, and Mike Swanson, Abilene, all had fine seasons last year in the Kansas prep ranks.
Swanson was the Class A high school half-mile champion and also took third place in the javelin. Gay was the Class B 880-yard winner. Ted Winkler, Springhill, finished third in that event and is also running now. Howell was the B king in the mile. "Corky" Eggert, Norwich, was the third place winner in the Class B mile.
Gay had never run the mile before coming to KU. However, he ran a 4:28.5 Thursday for the fastest time in the time trials for the Colorado meet. Swanson was second with 4:30 and Eggert third with 4:31.
A CURTIS MAGAZINE
Easton is gifted with top-flight runners in the shorter distances, but he doesn't have enough of them. Leading the dash contingent is Bob Franklin, Class AA 100 and 220-yard champion from Parsons. Larry Frisby, Stafford, was second in the Class A 440 in addition to winning the high jump.
"The girl who had everything,but-" Elizabeth Taylor my daughter
At 16, she was the favorite of millions and had been acclaimed one of the world's great beauties—but no boy would ask her for a date; and she solicited her heart out like any other teen-ager! Here, Elizabeth Taylor's mother, who once worried about her "funny-looking" baby, tells the true story of the prize her daughter paid for being too beautiful.

FEBRUARY LADIES' HOME
Harry Solter of Johnson won the Class B 440 and has been showing well in workouts. Rounding out the dash corps are Larry and Louis Strop from Pittsburg's fine mile relay quartet.
Again in the hurdles the Kansans have good men, but not enough to suit Easton. Willie Jones, Armax, took second in Class B high and low hurdles as well as being a consistent scorer in the sprints and anchoring the Arma relay teams. Roy Murphy, Lawrence; Boyd Mayberry, Sac City, Iowa, and Frank Mastin complete the field.
