Defeats Prove Costly To Intramural Teams
Any defeat this year in intramural football proved to be a crucial one, or so one might reason by glancing at the final intra-
cal football standings for 1951.
In both fraternity and independent competition, "A" and "B" divisions, division champions were all undefeated teams. Phi Gamma Delta, winner of Fraternity "A" Division III title, wound up as "Hill champs" by rights of a final playoff victory over Jim Beam, independent champion team.
Although Beta Theta Pi dominated each division in which one of their teams was entered, all of their three teams were ousted in playoffs to produce fraternity champion.
Five teams were repeaters from last night as division winners. They are Beta Theta Pi, Phi Kappa Psi, Jim Beam, Phi Gamma Delta "B," and Beta Theta Pi "B."

New York—(U.P.)-The NCAA plan for controlled television helped football attendances, a United Press survey revealed today.
NCAA Plan Increases Gate
In 1950, there was unlimited televising of football games. In 1951, the NCAA permitted only a peep a week. The national result was only an increase of .03 of a percentage point, but the big drops were in areas not affected by television.
In the East, where there's the most television, attendance sneaked up .02 per cent. In the Midwest, where there's also a lot of television, it went up 1.76 per cent. In the far West and South where there was limited television, the West teams jumped 4.99 per cent and the Southern teams 6.09 per cent.
But the big drops in non-television areas tend to show that TV didn't keep many folks away from the games. Instead, other factors did. In the Southwest, TV is no problem because the NCAA TV games didn't reach that area. Attendance fell 1.22 per cent. In the Rockies, the picture is the same because there's only one TV station in the whole area. The drop was an alarming 18.17 per cent. In the midlands, where there are few stations and sets, the fall was 15.01 per cent.*
Those figures would indicate that a little television didn't hurt.
By and large, a good football team drew fans and a poor one didn't. The attendance breakdown includes:

28 Swimmers Try For Team
After nearly three weeks' training the KU swimming squad seems to be shaping up fine, according to Walter J. Mikols, swimming coach.
This year's team is greatly hampered by lack of experienced competitors. The remodeling of the pool and cancellation of the entire schedule.
No team will be chosen for about six weeks from the 28 swimmers who are practicing to give them an opportunity to prepare sufficiently for the time trials.
Mahon Ball and Sam Perkins, free style, received freshman num- erals and have some competitive ex perience. Aside from experience the greatest need is for backstrokers.
With only two returning lettermen, Harry Newby, free style, and Tom Payne, breast stroke, Coach Mikols has to rely mainly on freshmen for his team.
Other swimmers snowing promise are Charles Orthwein, Jerry Scott and Dick Effin, breast surgeon and shoulder John Welsh and Dan Glasseo, baekstroke; and Bob Wellborn, Arch Unruh and Dallas Chestnut, diving.
Although league rules permit only 15 swimmers to compete, Coach Mikols plans to carry 18 or 20 on the squad. They will meet Nebraska here for their first meet Jan. 12.

Foster, Theta's Open With Wins
Bv JACKIE JONES
A Foster hall team which is loaded with talent may be a tough team to beat in the women's intramural basketball program this winter. Tuesday night they opened the season with a 64 to 17 victory over the Freshman KMM squad.
The defending Kappa Alpha Theta team won over the Freshman BL squad 39 to 12, proving that they stand a good chance of retaining their crown.
The Jayette team, which is another championship contender, registered a 28 to 19 victory over a scrapy Freshman MJ six.
The other game of the evening ended in a 38 to 38 tie between Alpha Delta Pi and Temruth. Both of these squads have great offensive power, but are not too strong on defense.
The Theta's had little trouble with the BL's as their smooth attack, one of the best in intramural play, was too much for the opposition. Barbara Quinn paced the winners with 16 points and Sydney Ashton got 15.
In the Foster-KMM game, Shirley Mickelson led the winners' attack as the little forward dumped in 29 points. Ernestine Dehlinger was close behind with 25. Their defense was excellent as the freshmen were unable to work the ball in for close shots.
A defense of short but talented players held the MJ team to 19 points as a strong Jayette six took their opening game of the season. Their offensive scoring was led by Jackie Jones with 14 points and Mary Snead with 12. Flavia Robertson paced the freshmen with 8.
The Temtruth-A. D. Pi game was a scoring battle between Esther Harms and Jo Ann Stone. Harms poured in 36 points for Temtruth and Stone tallied 26 for Alpha Delta Fi.
