Division'A'Titles To Beta's, Dark Horses
Beta Theta Pi captured the fraternity "A" division basketball crown by defeating Alpha Tau Omega 47 to 29 in Thursday night's intramural play.
The score was tied nine times during the game, and neither team had an advantage of more than four points until the middle of the fourth quarter. The Beta's then started to pull away and coasted to a 47 to 29 victory.
Ralph Moon of the Beta's tied the score at 9-apiece at the start of the second quarter, and at the end of the first half the score stood 18 to 14 for the Beta's. Hucke, Aitken, and Tongier spearheaded the A.T.O. attack in the first half and took more than their share of rebounds under both baskets. Free throws kept the Beta's in the lead during the first half with the victors hitting eight out of 12.
In the first quarter, Bill Champion started off the scoring with a free throw in the first few seconds of play. The first quarter saw A.T.O.'s out-hustling and out-rebounding the Beta's to lead nine to eight going into the second quarter.
The second half started off with the A.T.O. team again out-fighting the Beta's, but they could not overcome the four point deficit. Score at the end of the third period was 24 to 22 for the Beta's.
Play in the last period was even until, with five minutes left, the Beta's began to pull away with Champion and Mendenhall leading the attack. With three minutes left, the Beta's led 34 to 28, and at the end of the game, the A.T.O.'s had been defeated 47 to 29.
Mendenhall of the Beta's was high point man with 14 points, while Trego of the A.T.O.'s had eight.
In Thursday's only other game, the Dark Horses won the independent "A" title by defeating a stubborn Y.M.C.A. team 35 to 29.
With Payne of the Y.M.C.A. hitting nine points in the first quarter, the losers built a 12 to 6 lead at the end of the period. In the second period, Ed Lee tied the score at 12-apiece, and then put the Dark Horses ahead 13 to 12 with a free throw. From this point on, the Dark Horses were never again in trouble. Outstanding rebound work by Ashley of the Dark Horses helped to keep the Y.M.C.A. team from scoring in the second quarter. The first half ended 19 to 12 for the Dark Horses.
In the third period, Norris made six points for the winners as they outscored the Y.M.C.A. team 12 to 4. At the start of the final quarter, the winners led 31 to 16. Again with Payne leading the attack, the Y.M.C.A. put on a determined drive but were unable to come from behind. The score at the end of the game was 35 to 29, Dark Horses. Payne of the Y.M.C.A. team won high-point honors with 18 points while Norris of the Dark Horses had 10.
Intramural basketball champions will be decided today in both "A" and "B" divisions in games played between the independent and fraternity winners. At 4:15 p.m. Spooner-Thayer will tangle with the Phi Delts in Robinson Annex for the "B" division title.
At 5.15 the Dark Horses will match baskets with the Beta's to decide the "A" team intramural basketball champions on the campus this year.
K.U. Frosh Edge Colorado By 1 Point In Wire Meet
The decision as to which team would represent this area, district six, in the National Collegiate Athletic association tournament is made by having the top team in the Big Seven play the champion of the Big Island Valley conference. Formerly when there was a tie in the Big Seven for conference honors there has been an intra-league play-off. The new rule forbids this.
With Big Seven basketball well into the second round of conference play-and with a two, three or possibly even a four-way tie for the conference championship one thinks of the recent ruling passed by the conference scions.
The summary:
Bill Farney and Art Schaaf led the young Jayhawkers to the victory. Farney won the 880-yard, the mile, and the 2-mile runs and was a member of the winning relay team. Schaaf tied for first places in the 60-yard and 440-dashes and also ran a leg of the relay.
Instead, the N.C.A.A. district selection committee will be asked to decide which team, in its opinion, is the best Big Seven representative.

The Kansas indoor track team meets the surprising Missouri squad at Columbia today in a conference duel.
KU Thinclads To MU Duel Today
The Tigers scored an upset victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Lincoln Feb. 18. The surprise came from the fact that Missouri was short-handed on performers.
Bradley is the best bet to be the Missouri Valley winner and, therefore, will meet the Big Seven representative in the play-off. Bradley has only to get by Oklahoma A. and M. to clinch the title. But this conference is in a mess, thus making it likely that the new ruling will be put into effect.
Bill McGuire, Missouri's ace miler, will return to the Tiger group to bolster the strength of the squad over what it was in the Nebraska meet. Kansas' Bob Karnes will renew his rivalry with McGuire in the mile which may prove to be the outstanding event of the meet.
Another friend record which may be in danger is the 880-yard run. Jayhawker Pat Bowers presently holds the record in this with a time of 1 minute, 56 seconds. Bowers will attempt to better his old mark set the past year.

This will enable the band to manage their home football team to an away farm from home football team.
Half of the remaining 25 per cent of the increase will go to the Silver and Gold, student paper.
A news release from Colorado says that in the month since Forrest B. "Frosty" Cox announced his resignation as head basketball coach applications have been coming in increasing numbers and the rumor is that Doyle Parrick, present basketball coach at Oklahoma City university, is one of the top candidates for the Colorado university job.
The announcement of the new coach, whoever it is, will be forthcoming soon since the university is desirous of getting him on the campus in time for the spring basketball session, which will begin at the Colorado school sometime early in May.
