Dix Wins Independent 'A', Sigma Chi 'B' Goes To Finals
Intramural football came to a close in the Independent "A" league Wednesday as the Dix club downed the Spartans. In the fraternity "B" league Sigma Chi battled its way into the finals by defeating Phi Kappa Psi.
Dix club reigned as champions by virtue of two quick second-quarter touchdowns which proved to be all that was needed to wipe out an early 7 to 0 Spartan lead.
A long pass from Jack Crain to Harold Duke early in the first quarter had the Spartans looking as though they were going to make things a runaway, but the Dix club had different ideas.
In the opening minutes of the second period Lou Ferguson found Bill McDonald in the end zone with an aerial. It was Ferguson throwing again a few minutes later, this time to Carl Engwall, to put the Dix club in front 12 to 7.
Scoring ended in the final quarter when Jim Retter tagged Crain back of the goal line for a safety.
Sigma Chi "B" team crushed Phi Kappa Psi title hopes 12-6 to advance to the finals of the fraternity "B" team play-offs. The victors unleashed a 60-yard scoring drive in the final quarter, then staved off a desperate Phil Psi rally to register their sixth consecutive victory.
The losers tallied early in the first quarter, sweeping 51 vards in three plays. Jim Davidson completed a short pass, then halfback Lee Hamilton skirted left end for a first down on the Sigma Chi 37. On third down Bob Arbuckle took a Davidson pass on the 15 and raced across the goal line unmolested.
An aroused Sigma Chi team took the ensuing kick-off and blasted their way 56 yards in five plays for the tying touchdown. The Sigma Chi forward wall opened gaping holes in the Phi Psi line as Dudley Benton picked up yardage on quick opening plays. Halfback George Holden fired a 24-yard aerial to Bob Maupin to give Sigma Chi a first down on the Phi Psi 12-yard line. Quarterback Maupin hit end Dick Wagstaff on the four, then fired a bullet pass to Holden in the end zone for the score.
The two teams battled on equal terms in midfield until late in the fourth quarter when the Sigma Chi "T" formation swung into high gear. Taking the ball on their own 20, the victors employed a variety of runs, passes, and laterals to bewilder the red-shirted Phi Psi's. A Holden to Maupin
pass covered the final 15-yards for the winning touchdown.
The Phi Fai's took a short kickoff and, aided by a sleeper play, drove deep into Sigma Chi territory in the closing seconds.
The Sigma Chi line play was outstanding as linemen Bontz, Connell, and Duboc outcharged the heavier Phi Psi forward wall.
The Sigma Chi's the only undefeated "B" team in intramurals, have rolled up 87 points while holding their opponents to a mere 13. They meet Beta Theta Pi "B" team in the championship play-offs. The two teams met earlier in the season, the Sigma Chi's winning a thriller, 1-0.
Wins $4,700 But Is Jailed
Detroit—(U.P.)—Richard Robertson, 19, who wounded a water-pistol hold-up of a bank, won $4,700 damages for a 1946 auto accident. But police said he will have to wait to spend it. He must first serve time for the robbery.
Ellis Receives Lineman Honors
Carl Ellis, Jayhawker guard and line backer, has done it again.
He has received his second Associated Press nomination for the lineman of the week honor.
Ellis received the honor before on the basis of his showing against the Oklahoma Aggies. In this game, Ellis rambled 81 yards to score a touchdown after picking a fumble out of the air.
Ellis did a bang up job against Nebraska — making three crucial tackles in the Jayhawker's many goal line stands.
Leon Hart, Notre Dame All-American end, received the top honor in the weekly poll on the basis of his terrific performance against Michigan State.

Lighters Challenge The Wooden Match
The give away bookmatches at the corner drugstore and the large number of persons carrying their own fire-producing gadgets indicate that the phosphorous and sulphur-tipped sticks may be losing their prestige.
Is the faithful wooden match on its way out?
Today Americans are spending 50- million dollars annually for these spark throwing contrapipes to light their cigarettes and pipes.
Cigaret lighters are sold in many shapes and prices. They are found in everything from sword canes to baby shoes cast in bronze or gold. Their prices range from 98 cents to $5,000 for the jewel encrusted custom-
built models. One company has at one time offered one thousand different models and this year will market its 35 millionth lighter.
Contrary to popular belief, lighters use no flint but an alloy, ferro-cerium, to produce their spark.
