I-M Tennis Champs Are Well Qualified
Bv KOJI SATO
The championship of the intramural tennis doubles tournament went to a foreign student team. Karel van der Staay, Dutch student, and Alfred Sim, Chinese, won the title Nov. 30 by defeating the Phi Kappa Psi队, represented by Tom Dulos and Rich Mercer, by 6-0, 9-7 in the finals.
The winning team received the trophy Monday. About 120 students took part in the doubles tournament.
Van der Staay came from Holland as an exchange student this summer and is a graduate student in industrial management.
Hal Titus, Sigma Alpha Epsilon,
won the singles championship. He
defeated Ken Medearis in the finals.
"I used to play tennis in the tennis club in The Hague," he said, "after coming to K.U. I played with Mr. Sim on the school courts several times and formed a partnership with him.
"Tennis is played more in Holland than here," van der Staay added, "the people are more interested in playing it than looking at it, although they do not have free tennis-courts as you have here.
"There are few countries where sport is so generally and intensively practiced as in Holland. Soccer is the first favorite, and the Royal Netherland Football association, which came into existence before the beginning of this century, has 250,000 members. Field hockey and tennis are the next favorites. There are few professional sports, among which boxing and cycling are foremost."
"Sim came to the University last year from Swatow, China, and is a junior in business administration. He is the social chairman of K.U. International club.
"I started playing tennis when I was 12 years old, but I could not play it, of course, during the last war. Tennis is one of the favorite sports in China along with basketball and soccer." Sim said.
Sim, who lived in Shanghai for a while under the Red regime, added, "Right now under the Communists, however, opportunity for sports is greatly limited.
Women Show Improvement As The IM Season Opens
By MONA MILLIKAN

Pre-season practice paid off in women's intramural basketball Tuesday as the season's opening games showed more polish in ball-handling than usual.
Three close games were featured with three one-sided contests as last year's champions picked up where they left off and the runners-up took a loss.
Corbin Jays, last year's champions,
defeated Theta Phi Alpha 30 to 14
after holding a slim 4-point margin
at the half. Shirley Mickelson scored
16 points for Corbin and Mary Dixon
led the loser with 7 points.
I. W.W. upset Kappa Kappa Gamma, runners-up last year, with a 23 to 19 score after leading by only one point at the half. Sybil Mathes led I.W.W. scoring with 19 points. Margaret Black made 8, and Carol Armsby scored 7 points for the losers.
Temruth coasted to a 33 to 20 defeat of Delta Delta Delta on the strength of their half-time margin of 23 to 6. Janet Meyers scored 28 points for the winners, combine of Templin and Carrhull halls. Marilyn Seymour made 8, and Jean Anderson made 6 points for the Tri-Delts.
Miller upset Harmon co-op 32 to 29 although they relied on their first-half margin to do it. Linda Bartley scored 10 and Betty Clinger made 12 points for Miller. Betty Thomas played a one-man game with 18 points for the co-op team.
Alpha Delta Pi squeezed past the Kahops 28 to 26 in the closest game of the evening to hold up a 3-point half-time lead. Lois Lacy scored 15 points to pace the winners. Jerry Tillotson made 12 points for the Kahops, a combine of Kanza and Hopkins halls.

Capacity Crowd To KS Fieldhouse
Manhattan, Kan.—(U.P.)The first basketball game in the new Kansas State College fieldhouse here Saturday night will be played before a sell-out crowd of 10,000.
Ticket manager Fritz Knorr said 10,000 will be capacity Saturday night. Two thousand bleacher seats are snowed in at Pittsburgh, Pa., and another thousand seats will not be available because the top row in the new basketball palace is not vet completed.
Kansas State meets Utah State in a game which will mark the opening of the hure fieldhouse.
"That leaves us 10,000 seats"
Knorr said, "and they’re all sold."
