At the start of the second half the Phi Gams put in two free throws to make the score 18 to 10, but then the Phi Delts put up a defense which yielded only one more free throw for the losers in the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter the Phi Delts had pulled within one point of the Phi Gams by a score of 19 to 18.
The fourth quarter was a seesaw battle with the score being tied four times, and the lead of either one team never over two points.

Straw hats, traditional headgear of business seniors, will be seen around the campus again this year. The tradition, nearly lost during the war, was revived the past year by the Business School association
The origin of the custom has become lost during the 26 years since the founding of the School of Business, but it is generally believed that it started when the sailor straw was the official hat of all campus men during spring and summer.
After some time, hats became less popular with the younger generation, and the average student came to be more distinguished by not wearing a hat at all.
About this time, the business seniors desired to be distinguished from the average student by some special mark of their own, and adopted the straw hat.
Previously only seniors were allowed to wear the hats, but this year the juniors will be allowed to participate also. Seniors will wear red hatbands and juniors will wear blue.
The Business School association has arranged to buy the hats in one large order so they may secure them at the lowest possible cost to industrial. Orders will be taken in the basement of Strong hall this week.
In 1949, approximately half of the graduating seniors wore the straw sailors. This year, the B.S.A. hopes to top that figure. Hats have been ordered by more than half of the seniors.
Sixteen domiciliary homes operated by the Veterans Administration have a capacity of 17,177 beds.

Corbin Defeats Kappa's In Close 29 To 24, Intramural Basketball Game
Corbin hall brushed past Kappa Kappa Gamma 29 to 24 Tuesday night to become Women's intramural basketball champions. About 150 spectators watched Corbin's shooting accuracy offset the Kappa's height advantage and fine defense.
Both teams played very slowly and cautiously the first half, and didn't play until the last quarter. They left for the half with Corbin on back 18 in 19.
In the lead all but the first few minutes of the last quarter, Corbin connected with about 75 per cent of its shots against the Kappa's 30 per cent. The Kappa's used their height to get the majority of the rebounds under both baskets and most of the jump balls, but couldn't hit the basket.
Corbin controlled the ball most of the first three quarters, but because they only tried for under-the-basket shots, they spent much of their time in an attempt to work past the Kappa guards.
Although Corbin's guards were too short to be very effective, accuracy by forwards Shirley Mich-
