The women's intramural basketball championship went to Foster hall Tuesday evening, as they defeated Delta Delta Delta, 53-50, in an action-packed contest. $ \textcircled{4} $
The high-scoring Foster six have won seven consecutive games with an average of over 50 points each.
Foster opened the scoring with two quick set-shots by Shirley Mickelson, after Marlene Peterson had cleared the defensive boards. Virginia Brooks, Foster guard, but Bears linebacker was gone in the game the sophomore forward hit the free throw for the first of her 38 points.
In women's basketball, the guards are not allowed to shoot. When a guard is fouled, one of her teammates must take the shot. Pat Garret picked up her first foul as she charged into Brooks and Mickelson made the shot good to give Foster a 5-2 lead.
On the next play, Anita Philipp scored for Foster and Garrett came back with a long shot for the Tri-Delts.
At the end of the first quarter, Foster led 11-9 and they stretched it to 27-20 at the half. In the second quarter Mickelson poured in eight points for Foster and Phillip scored six, and Ernestine Dehlig had six.
The Foster guards were unable to hold down Garrett and she tallied nine points in that period for Tri-Delt while Chloe Warner scored four and Shirley Wilkie two.
Defensive play of both teams tightened after the half. Jappy Rau and Marlene Peterson took several defensive rebounds, while some accurate passing by Brooks gave Foster a number of good shots.
The Tri-Delt defense saw Joan Carter, Sue Quinn, Mary Loveless and Grace Endacott alternate in
positions. Loveless and Endacott intercepted several bad passes by Foster forwards.
In the third quarter, the scoring was even. The Tri-Delts sunk 14 and Foster 16. Dehlinger and Philipp each had eight for Foster while Garrett scored nine for the opposition in the third period.

Cage World Salutes Dr. Allen
New York—(U.P.)-The basketball world today saluted the game's winningest coach, Dr. Forrest Phog Allen of Kansas, on the occasion of the 700th victory of his career.
The milestone triumph for the 66-year-old Allen, now in his 42nd year as a coach, came last night at Lawrence, Kan., when his current Kansas team, ranked no. 7 in the nation, walloped the tough Oklahoma Aggies by an impressive 66 to 46 score.
The loquacious Allen, who often has been the center of bitter controversy during his long career as he advocated many changes in the rules and method of the game, has been guiding Kansas U. teams for 35 years, dividing the other seven years between Baker U., Haskell Institute, and Central Missouri, playing 902 games. In that time, starting in 1908 with two years off, 1910-12, to practice as an osteopathic surgeon, Allen has coached teams to 21 conference championships.
Last night's win was perhaps the high spot to date of the current season for the Jayhawks, avenging an earlier four-point loss on the Aggies' home court.
St. Bonaventure, which yesterday accepted a bid to the National Invitation Tournament along with St. John's and Duquesne, closed out its home season with an impressive 69-44 victory over Sienna.
Texas Christian ran its league-leading record in the Southwest Conference to 8-1 by trouncing the Texas Aggies, 58-44. TCU now must beat only Baylor on Saturday to clinch at least a tie for the loop title.
Louisville ran its record to 19-4 by whipping North Carolina State, ranked no. 18 nationally, 82-67.

American Skiers Drop Out In Race At Olympics
Oslo, Norway — (U,P) — United States skiers withdrew from the 50-kilometer cross-country race in the Olympic winter games today because of an unfavorable snow condition and a lack of experience for the gruelling 30-mile marathon.
Hjalmar Hvam of Portland, Ore., manager of the U.S. long distance ski squad, explained that expected fog and melting snow would handicap inexperienced Americans.
Hvam said the decision to withdraw the four U.S. entries was made at the advice of the team doctor.
"They are perfectly healthy," Hvam said. "But for a 50-kilometer grind under difficult snow conditions they would need a lot more conditioning."
The four U.S. skiers tentatively scheduled to compete in the race were Wendell Broomhall of Rumford, Me., George Hovland of Duluth, Minn., John Caldwell of Putney, Vt., and John Burton Burton of Wyzata, Minn.
"Actually, we never were officially entered over here." Hvam said. "Although we did file entries from the United States, we did not sign official entries over here because we doubted whether our skiers would reach proper condition."
A forecast of a warm air stream was expected to produce fog on the higher portions of the Holmenkollen course. Officials feared that the colored cloth markers might not be seen by all contestants. Melting snow also was expected to create a waxing problem for most of the late starters in the race.
Hvam said that by withdrawing from the 50-kilometer race, American skiers would be saved for the four-by-10-kilometer cross-country relay race on Saturday.
A field of 37 skiers started on the long distance grind at one-minute intervals.
