KU Reserves Nudge Baker 49-48
By FORREST MILLER
Daily Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
Baldwin—(Special)—Refusing four free throws in the final 25 seconds, the University of Kansas Reserves salvaged a 49 to 48 basketball practice-scrimmage game over the Baker Wildcats here Wednesday night.
A small but boisterous crowd of Bakerites saw Sonny Enns, Kansas' leading scorer with 14 points, tip-in what proved to be the winning goal with 50 seconds to play.
SONNY ENNS Kansas
E n n s' bucket put the Jayhawkers ahead, 49 to 46, and after Baker's L. Overturf trimmed the margin to 49 to 48 with a set shot, t he Allenmen called time out and planned their ball control strategy which gave them the one-point nod. The ball-hungry 'Cats
fouled repeatedly during the final seconds in their efforts to gain control of the ball.
The win was Kansas' second this season over Russ Davee's quintet, the Jayhawkers having taken a 53 to 35 decision at Lawrence Jan. 29.
After a close first half which found Kansas leading, 22 to 21 at its close, the visitors rolled to a 10-point lead in the third quarter, holding advantages of 39 to 29 and 40 to 30 before the Kansas conference members began their comeback.
Had it not been for the fact that
Mark Rivard eluded the 'Cat defense for an easy layup and the scoreboard favored the Jayhawkers, 43 to 38 with six minutes to go. Free throws from the hosts' Ted and Jack Armstrong sand wicked around Armstrong's 2-pointer trimmed KU.'s lead to 45 to 42.
Enns and Dale Engel contributed a duo of goals and Allen's squad led, 47 to 42 with three minutes left. But the never-quitting Bakerites pulled to within one point, 47 to 46 on another goal by Armstrong (a former Shawnee Mission high school teammate of K.U.'s Wally Beck, Mark Rivard, and Don Woodson) and a pair of free throws by Don Hufford.
Enn's late tip-in upped the K.U. score enough to withstand Overturit's bucket.
Ken Sterns, Baker's six-foot, five-inch center and the Kansas conference's leading scorer, fouled out with six and one half minutes to play, the outcome would probably have been different.
Following the 41 to 34 score at the end of the third quarter, Bob landed handsome. Wildcat forward, potted the ball and scored for the total to bring, Baker up, 41, pt. 38.
Sterns flashed the first two points on the scoreboard with only 15
Kappa Alpha Theta, Miller Win IM Cage Playoff Games
By MONA MILLIKAN
Kappa Alpha Theta scored a 37 to 36 upset victory over the Corbin Jays and Miller defeated Locksley 29 to 22 in semi-final women's intramural Hill championship basketball games played Wednesday night in Robinson gym annex.
Corbin had trouble with its defensive game fouling no less than 18 times—10 in the second half. This proved costly to the Jays' hopes of winning the IM cage championship for the second straight year.
The Theta's and Miller will play for the 1951 women's IML basketball championship at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 27.
The Theta-Corbin game was close all the way and was decided on three free throws by Theta forward Suzanne Neff
Each team had five field goals in the first half and two free throws to leave the court at intermission deadlocked, 12-all. In the second half, Corbin outscored the Theta's from the field by one goal but Neff's trio of charity tosses provided the upset margin.
Corbin's Shirley Mickelson took scoring honors with 22 points, 16 of these coming in the second half. For the Theta's Sydney Ashton paced her team with 12 important second half points in addition to four first half tallies for 16 points.
Locklesl rallied in the second half and closed the Miller lead to a 20 to 15 score at the three-quarters mark. Locksley outscored Miller 17 to 16 in the second half, but had fallen too far behind to overhaul the winners.
The Corbin Jays and Kappa Alpha Theta teams entered the game with perfect 5-0 records as they won their respective Division I and Division II titles.
Miller, 5-0 champions of Division IV, led Locksley all the way and held a 13 to 5 lead at halftime. The victors were ahead 9 to 3 at the end of the first quarter.

Miller's Betty Clinger took scoring honors with 19 points, with 12 of these coming in the second half. For the losers, Karin Stack scored 12 points.
seconds gone in the contest. Dean Kelley matched him a minute later. Merrill hit a charity toss and Bill Schaake put Kansas ahead, 4 to 3. The Jayhawkers never relinquished the lead until the early minutes of the second quarter when Merrill and Jerry Steele led Baker to a 19 to 14 advantage.
Enns hit a trio of free throws to make it 19 to 17 and two buckets by Ken Buller in the last minute of the half shot K.U. in front, 22 to 21. Merrill and Sterns had capitalized on free throws for Baker.
