Beta's Win Fraternity "A" And "B" Cage Titles
Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Bv BOB NELSON
Beta Theta Pi won its seventh fraternity "A" intramural basketball championship—and second in a row—by overpowering the Delta Upsilon "A" club 56 to 25 Tuesday afternoon in Robinson annex.
The Beta victory was its 10th straight without a defeat this year and moved the high scoring Tennessee street defending champs into the Hill "A" championship final contest to be played later this week. The Beta's will meet the winner of tonight's 9 o'clock Dark Horses-Draggin' 5 contest for the all-University "A" cage title.
In chalking up its 21st straight intramural victory through the 1949-50 and 1950-51 seasons, Lyn Smith's Beta club was in command throughout the contest and left little doubt as to the final outcome following a quick 7 to 2 lead at 3:10 minutes had been played.
The Beta's called upon their trio of veteran intramural stars—Bill Champion, Jerry "Bones" Brownlee, and Capt. Jack Winter—to add another cage trophy to the fraternity's fast growing display.
Champion paced the Beta scoring and took individual game honors with 16 points. Brownlee, lanky pivotman, added 13 points while Winter scored four goals and six of eight charity tosses for 14 points.
Brownlee also hawked rebounds off both boards to keep the shorter D.U.'s in trouble with his fine all-around play in the 15-foot radius around the hoop.
The West Siders remained in the game during the first half but trailed 13 to 20 at halftime. It was during the final 14 minutes (game played in seven minute quarters) that the winners shifted their scoring machine into high gear.
The Beta's outscored the D.U.'s 36 to 12 during the second half and showed every indication of repeating as Hill "A" champions again this year.
Wally Altman, Beta guard, scored eight points on three goals, including two early second half corner baskets and added two for two at the free throw line.
The Beta's remaining five points came via the free throw line as Joe Mendenhall scored two for two, Jim Floyd hit one for two, and Ralph Moon connected on two out of two.
Using its bench-strength to gooq advantage, the Beta's out-manned, out rebounded, and threw up a tight defense around the D.U.'s that allowed few open set shots for the losers. The Bill Schaake coached Delta Upsonil club could score but
seven field goals—four in the first half and three in the second—while the Beta team scored 18 two-pointers.
The Beta's scored 20 free throws out of 31 attempts for 65 per cent. The D.U.'s cashed in 11 of 19 attempts for three less points than produced by field goals.
Jack Stonestreet, Delta Upsilon forward, paced his team's scoring with four of D.U.'s seven field goals and a free throw for nine points. It was Stonestreet's long goal in the first minute that gave his team its only lead, 2 to 0.
John Konek, freshman football standout last fall, could score only one goal but added five of eight free throw attempts for seven points.

Theta's Crowned Women's 1951 Cage Champs
Kappa Alpha Theta led all the way to a 44 to 31 victory over Miller hall for the women's 1951 intramural basketball championship Tuesday night.
By MONA MILLIKAN
The Theta's jumped ahead in the opening minutes and steadily increased their lead. They led 13 to 8 after the first quarter, increased it to a 23 to 16 margin by the end of the first half, and held a 36 to 27 advantage at the third quarter mark.
for Miller. Linda Bartley led with 16 points to top the evening's scoring. Betty Clinger scored nine and Christine Johnson made six points for the losers.
Scoring was evenly divided among Theta forwards. Suzanne Neff and Barbara Quinn each scored 15 points and teammate Sydney Ashton made 14 points.
It was more experienced, smoother teamwork by the Theta's coupled with steadier, calmer ball handling that won the game. Miller's forwards worked the ball well but couldn't get up to the basket enough so they didn't risk many shots the first half.
The second half brought more aggressive playing by Miller but it was too late. Bad passes hindered them and the Theta guards stayed too close to them to allow much shooting.
The Theta's outscored Miller on field goals, sinking 20 in the game, nine in the first half. Miller could only make seven in both periods.
With the season basketball and tournament over, the class games are still to be played. At 7 tonight in Robinson annex the sophomore and senior A teams and the sophomore and senior B teams will play.
At 8 p.m., the freshman and junior A and freshman and junior B teams will play. Winners will play winners Tuesday, March 6, and the losers will play the losers.

Beta Theta Pi won the 1951 intramural "B" basketball championship by de-throning the Phi Delta Theta club, 55 to 39, Tuesday afternoon in Robinson annex. The Beta victory was sweet revenge for last year's semi-final defeat at the hands of the champion Phi Delt Bees.
The Beta "B" team won its only Hill championship in 1949 when it defeated the Men of Distinction, 46 to 21. In winning, the junior Beta's displayed a balanced scoring attack and showed all around speed, hustle, and strength, off the backboards.
Marv Rollo fueled the Beta attack, which rolled to a 34 to 21 halftime advantage, with 14 points. Dick Docking followed with 10 points and Hal Cleavenger and John Strawn contributed nine tallies apiece.
John Simons collected 13 points for the losing Phi Delts while Burwell Shephard and Bud Jones were counting five each.
The defending fraternity "B" title holders scored first to hold their only lead of the game. Shephard dunked a free throw when the rough-and-tumble affair was only three seconds old but the Betas' went ahead when Strawn scored from the field a half-minute later.
By the time the game was a minute old, the Beta's had a 3 to 1 lead

as Rollo hit a charity fling, and the new fraternity "B" champions were on their way. After Bob Dare scored from the stripe the Phi Delt's Bufford Bissell narrowed the bulge to 4 to 3, but after Docking's goal, the Beta's swiftly moved away and threatened to make a rout of it at the end of the first quarter, leading 19 to 9.
The winners scored only three more field goals than did the defending champion Phi Delts, but did some commendable shooting from the free throw line, converting 21 of 27 offers into points for a 72 per cent average.
The Phi Delts made the best of 61 per cent of their free tosses, converting 11 of 18 chances.
The Beta lead fluctuated between seven and 12 points during the second period as Strawn, Rollo and Docking continued to pile up points. By halftime the Beta's were in the driver's seat, 34 to 21.
Playing slightly more conservative ball during the second half, the Beta's, under the guidance of coach Bill Champion and receiving helpful bits of advice from ex-varsity star Jerry Waugh, increased the difference only three points in the final 14 minutes.
Jones opened the second half scoring with a free throw for the Phi Delts, but the Beta's reacted with three of their own, a pair from Docking preceded by a single from Rollo. Bob Mehl and Jones sank 2-pointers for the Phi Delts before Rollo and Docking equaled the output for the Beta's.
Another Jones bucket equaled by Strawn to make it 43 to 28. Beu George Smith's free throws upped it to 44 to 28 and the Phil Delt's Simons, who scored 12 of his 13 points in the last half, potted a goal to make it 44 to 30 at the end of the third quarter.
