Phi Psi Wins Fraternity IM Title From Kappa Sigma

While the fraternity champions, Aces Hi, advanced into the independent playoff finals. They won from Oread hall 48 to 25. They will meet a Y.M.C.A. team that defeated the Nubbins team 41 to 28 for a share in the finals.
The Phi Psi's will meet the winner of the Y.M.C.A.-Aces Hi independent playoff final on Thursday night for the University intramural championship.
The Phi Psi's combined a tight-tribbed defense with accuracy from the field and free throw line Monday night to defeat Kappa Sigma 23 to 20 in the fraternity "A" finals. They were never behind.
Sparking the Phi Psi triumph was husky Ordon Tice who displayed excellent rebounding and controlled his shots masterfully to share high point honors with Kappa Sigma's diminutive Tom Scott, ex-Jayhawker grid star. Both netted 7 points but Tice's percentage was somewhat better. He scored twice in five trials from the field and sank each of his three free tosses. Scott hit three of nine shots from the field and got his only charity toss.
Phi Psi rolled off to a first quarter lead and except for a brief period in the third stanza kept at least a three-point lead. Les Philibald's basket combined with free tosses by Philibold, Bob Drumm, and Lee Sauder put the losers within one point of a tie in the third quarter.
But the Phi Psi's zoomed back into a comfortable lead on Bob Mercer's free throw, and baskets by Scott Kelly, Joe Dunnier, and Tice. That made the score 11 to 14 with eight minutes remaining. Phi Psi then set up a stall. Kappa Sig was able to score twice more before the end of the game, both were long shots by Tom Scott.
The Phi Psi's hit 26 per cent of their shots from the field and dropped in 13 of 19 free tosses while Kappa Sig's were able to hit for 16 per cent from the field and collect 6 of 11 tries from the charity line. Beta's Win 'B' Play
At 11:10 Monday night the buzzer sounded that made Beta Theta Pi the official winner of the Class "B" fraternity basketball league. Phi Gamma Delta was the team the Beta's overcame 28 to 2 to gain the championship.
The Phi Gam's did not score in the first quarter while Beta was racking up 12 points. Midway in the third quarter found the Beta's ahead 22 to 9 with the Phi Gam center, Hervy McFerren, the only scorer on his team. The end of the 3rd quarter saw the Beta's with a comfortable 10 point lead. In the fourth quarter two field goals each by Jim Sallee and Dale Mallon and one by Bob Kline for the Phi Gam's while the Beta's only netted 5 points reduced the winners margin to 5 points.
The Beta scoring was well-balanced with Hank LaRue and Bill Halverhaut getting 7 points and Ralph Simmons 6. Hervy McFerren was the big wheel for the Phi Gam's with 11 points while his teammate Jim Sallee came through in the second half with six,
Aces Hi Beat Oread
The Aces Hi, defending intramural basketball champions, advanced into the independent playoff finals by routing Oread hall 48 to 25 in a rough, razzle-dazzle game played in Robinson annex. The Aces Hi picked up the Oread cagers all over the court and forced them to make many bad passes which the Aces quickly converted into a commanding lead. Oread hall battled hard but could not catch the hustling Aces Hi quintet as they steadily increased their lead throughout the game.
Lou DeLuna was the high scorer for the Aces Hi with 11 points while Bob Devinney was high for Oread hall with 8 points. Aces Hi lead at the half 22 to 10.

IM Volleyball Deadline Feb 28
Deadline on intramural volleyball entries has been set for Monday, Feb. 28, Don Powell, director, said today. Competition will be placed in independent and fraternity leagues which will have "A", "B", and "C" divisions.
Powell expects more than 100 teams to participate in competition this spring. He has mailed letters to each of the 125 teams which played intramural basketball this year. Most of these are expected to yield teams.
Powell warned intramural managers to note the Feb. 28 deadline. The date was erroneously reported to be Monday, March 28 in letters he recently sent them.
Organized houses may have only one team in the "A" and "B" divisions but may have as many as they wish in the "C" divisions. Six men are required for a team. Entry blanks may be picked up in the intramural office in 107 Robinson. The entry fee is 35 cents a man.
Clam Eaters Ready In Second Clambake
Seattle, Feb. 22—(U.P.)-New records appeared in the offing as the second annual Clam bowl contest prepared to get underway tonight.
Defending clamateur champion Dick Watson, local cab-cdriver, Monday night defeated Wellington W. Marsh, 55, Long Beach, Wash., 43 to 36 in an exhibition clam-eating contest.
Watson won the crown last year by gulping 132 little neck clams in ten minutes. Monday night's exhibition was only a two-minute run. But if Watson is able to keep up the pace during the championship run tonight, he would better his own mark by nearly 50 per cent.
The Clam bowl is sponsored by the International Pacific Free Style Amateur Clam Eating Contest association.
Chief threat to Watson's prowess was Kenneth Snow. son of the Snow Clam Canning company of Pine Point, Maine. Other entrants were Mac Reynolds, Vancouver, B.C.; Chuck Bray, Amboy, Wash.; Willy N. Koch, Sr., Port Townsend, Wash.; Felipe Zepeda, Mexico, and Marsh.
Free throws told the story as the aggressive "Y's" hit 17 out of 21 at the charity line, while the Nubbins hit 6 out of 15. Jim Valentine and Don Johnson led the Y.M.C.A. scoring with 12 and 9 points respectively. O'Neal hit 7 for the losers.

Alpha Alpha trounced the Y.M.C.A. 26 to 12 in an independent "B" team semi-final match Monday night.

McDonnell was the spark plug for the Alpha Alpha's with 15 points, while Ferguson of the Y team was high with 7 points.
Rv DARELL NORRIS
The three ring circus may be passing from the American scene but the Big Seven conference has something to take its place, the Big Seven indoor track meet in Municipal auditorium, Kansas City, Mo., this weekend.
This year the preliminaries are being run off on Friday in order to stage a better and more exciting indoor finals on Saturday night, and from the results of dual meets this year the meet will be one of the best ever staged.
Last year's meet was billed as a battle for second place, because everyone figured Tom Bott's Missouri Tigers were a cinch, and they were. The surprise of the meet came when the loop's freshman coach, Bill Easton, guided his team into second place, a spot the Kansans were not scheduled to occupy.
Now everyone is wondering what K.U. will do in this year's meet. We think they will fare pretty good, despite the fact that Kansas has been swamped in three dual meets thus far. Nebraska and Missouri will butt heads for the number one position, and Kansas should be third. Here's why.
Pat Bowers will break the indoor record of 1:56.5 in the half mile. Bowers ran the 880 in 1:56.0 at Missouri last week, and should be even faster on the auditorium's springwood track. Bob Karnes, K.U.'s top flight distance man, will be after both the mile and two mile crowns, and should come close if he is in top shape. Hal Hinchee, Dave Breidenthal, and Cliff Abel will pick up some points in the same two races.
Jack Greenwood, sophomore hurdler, may turn up with a surprise in the hurdles. There are others who may place, Winton Studt, or Dick Wagstaff in the 440, Karl Ebel in the shot put, Bill Richardson and Del Norris in the high jump, and Walt Emery in the broad jump.
In knocking off second place last year Kansas placed only eight men in the whole meet, so it is not too hard to figure they might do it again.
At last year's meet six records were broken, included among them a world's record in the 60-yard low hurdles by Missouri's Madill Gardiser. You can look for some more marks to fall this year. The mile, two mile, 880 and the 440 records are almost certain to go, and the shot put and pole vault are possibilities.
As a sport event you can't afford to miss the meet. It will be well worth the trip to Kansas City.
Team Champs Trail In Bowling Meet
Atlantic City, N.J., Feb. 22—(U.P.) The world match champion Tavern Pales of Chicago were in second place in the American Bowling Congress team standings today because captain Buddy Bomar missed two spares in his final game.

Read the Daily Kansan daily.
Groza poured them in last night as the Wildcats annihilated Georgia, 95 to 40. Groza's latest scoring spree erased the conference mark set by Vanderbilt's Billy Adcook earlier this season. It also broke the all-time Kentucky scoring record of 34 points, held jointly by Groza and Leroy Edwards, a standout Wildcat of 15 years ago.
While Groza was being acclaimed for his two new records, it was reported that the Wildcats are considering playing both in the N.C.A.A. and National Invitational tournaments next month. University officials, however, declined comment.
