Social Call Is Painful
Holyoke, Mass.—(U.P.) It cost Edward J. Russell, 26, a smashed hand to find a friend had moved. After he discovered his friend was no longer living there, Russell was leaving an apartment building when a woman approached him, accused him of trying to enter her apartment, and smashed his hand against a railing with an iron bar.

Sooners Hand NU First Loss
Betas Dominate IM Playoffs
The Oklahoma Sooners, trailing by 12 points late in the second, staged a brilliant rally in the game's final minutes, to edge out hard-fought 47 to 45 victory over Nebraska Monday night at Norman.
Shortly after the final buzzer sounded, Harry Good, Nebraska mentor, and Mike Oberhelman, official, were involved in a brief fracas, and Larry Walsh, Husker guard, threw the game ball into the crowd, knocking down a woman.
The breath-taking victory, scored before a heaped-up Oklahoma crowd, gave the Sooners a half-game lead over the Huskers in the Big Seven conference standings. The loss curbed a spectacular 8-game winning streak for Nebraska, and was the Husker's first conference defeat of the current campaign.
With Nebraska leading 40 to 28 following a dazzling second-half scoring spree, Bill Waters, standout center, started the Sooner's flagrant
The intramural basketball playoffs began Monday night and Beta teams were so thick that they were playing each other. The Beta "B" outfit handed the Phi Psi "B" team a 29 to 20 defeat. The Beta "C" team defeated a group of their fraternity brothers—the Silent Men—in "C" game action 26 to 15. A "C" game between Jim Bean's Dream Team and the Phi Gams will be rescheduled.
In other fraternity "B" games in the opening night of the playoffs the Sig Eps showed some fancy passing and shooting to easily win from the Sig Alphs. The Phi Delts, aided b- Byron Wynn's 14 points, had no trouble defeating Delta Chi 28 to 13. The Phi Gams handed the ATO's a 24 to 16 defeat.
One of the evening's fastest games saw the Sig Eps paced by Jim Reynolds and Bob Mathers outhit a cold Sig Alph squad. Reynolds hit a long push shot just before the end of the first and second quarters. Reynolds was his team's high scorer with 8 points. Mathers was second with 7.
Bill Halverhout led the Beta "B team in scoring with 12 points as they won from the Phi Psis 29 to 20.
The only "C" team action of the evening was the intra-Beta game between the Beta "C" and the Silent Men teams. It was a loosely played game with a good many players finding themselves on their backs on the court. Stewart led the winners in scoring with 9 points. Schafer and Idol each contributed 5 points to the winners. Marv Rollo made 9 points to get more than half of the losers' score.
The last "B" game of the night saw the Phi Gams win from the ATO's 24 to 16. Jack Ranson was high point man for the winners with 8. Tom Milligan made 7 to lead the losers as they were unable to penetrate the defense of the Phi Gams. The Phi Gams were ahead 14 to 4 at the half.
rally. he sank a trio of free throws and then hit from the field.
Claude Retherford, the sensational Husker guard and leading conference scorer, then scored on a 40-foot heave. The accurate-eyed Retherford walked away with highpoint honors, bagging nine buckets from the field and netting two charity tosses.
But the Huskers, fouling constantly, soon gave Harry Drake's club an opportunity to whittle down the lead. Waters, County, and Speegle hit from the free-throw line, and with seven minutes of play remaining the Sooners were trailing by only four points.
Frail Paul "Cat" Merchant, then fed captain Paul "Cat" Merchant with two straight passes and on both occasions he scored from the post position. That left the score tied.
