Wednesday's IM Winners Had Easy Going In 4 Games
Intramural basketball had an easy night Wednesday. Only eight teams saw action in independent "B" games. In contrast to the thrilling, close games that have marked most of the action so far this season, Wednesday's winners had little trouble for the most part. Tonight the fraternity "A" teams get into action with six games scheduled in Robinson annex.
Tau Kappa Epsilon defeated the Tri Chi's 3 to 15 after taking an early lead and never relinquishing it. The TEKEs held a halftime lead of 15 to 7. Dick Aylward was high point man with eight points and Dan Leander led the losers with six points.
Oread Number two trounced Plummer House 42 to 18. The Oread team took an early lead and never had trouble holding it. The halftime score was 28 to 7. John Murphy and Bob Attaberry paced the winners in the scoring column with 13 and 10 points respectively.
The K-Naps had little trouble in defeating the Cavaliers 40 to 24. Peckin tossed in 16 points to help the winners along. Hanxman added 11 points to the K-Naps total. Keller was the big gun for the Cavaliers with 11 points.
The N.R.O.T.C. team won over the Schenley's Fifth squad 28 to 19. Clark made 13 points for the winners and Rice added seven. Grice and Powers shared scoring honors for the losers with six points each.
Citation Postpones Record Try
Miami, Fla., Dec. 16—(UP) Mighty Citation lost two more lucrative opportunities in his quest to become the leading money winning horse of all time today when Calumet farm manager Ben Jones declared him out of the McLennan and Widener Handicaps at Hialeah this winter.
Earlier this week the Calumet Comet was declared out of the $100-000 Santa Anita Maturity and $100-000 Santa Anita Handicap because of a growth on his leg bone which is now the size of a half dollar.

Columbia, Mo., Dec. 16—(UP)—The University of Missouri Tigers figured today a pair of wins in their two-game set with Baylor tonight and Friday would give them a good start toward national recognition in collegiate basketball circles.
Baylor Goes To Missouri
But the wins didn't promise to come easy, despite Baylor's 1-3 record for the new season.
Missouri (1-1) scouted Baylor when the Bears lost, 44 to 59, to the powerful St. Louis U. Eillikens.
Missouri coach Sparky Stalcup said Baylor gave St. Louis trouble down to the final two minutes of that game.
Missouri will start Dan Pippen and Don McMillen at forwards, Jerry Fowler at center, and Karl Pierpoint and Pleasant Smith at guard positions.
Coach Bill Henderson expected to start three veterans, each of whom scored 300 or more points last season. They are Jim "Red" Owens, with 320 points, forward; guard Bill Johnson, who netted 320, and center Don Heathington, 300. Bill Dewitt and Odell Preston will round out the Bears' starting five.
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 16—(UPI)
It takes a lot of air to make a basketball bounce, and nowhere is the air finer than atop Mount Oread at Lawrence, home of the University of Kansas.
Oread Air 'Rare Sooner Oxygen Must Compare
Furthermore, the air is a godsend to asthma sufferers. Otherwise, Clyde Lovelette might just as well have stayed in Terre Haute, Ind.
Lovelette has a bad case of asthma for a young fellow who plays basketball and stands six feet, 10 inches tall. It was brought to the attention of Coach Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, who promptly and generously invited the boy of Kansas, where "a tall man can stand up straight and breathe rarified atmosphere."
The U. S. Corps of Engineers in Kansas City says if Mount Oread is a foot taller than 1,050 feet at the ridge, it doesn't show on the charts.
But it's taller than Terre Haute on the east bank of the Wabash, no matter what Indiana coaches say.
Lovelette's matriculation at Kansas has led other coaches in the Big Seven to say sharp things about Allen, who once had sharp things to say about coaches who used tall players, or "goons," as they are known in the roundball trade.
As the Big Seven conference swings into the 1948-49 season, it is not known definitely if Marcus Frei.berger fled Texas to breathe racer air at the University of Oklahoma
In view of the criticism directed at him regarding Lovelette, Allen says it would be interesting to know more about Freiberger, who is rated at six feet, 11 inches.
Freiberger is a sophomore and will see action with Bruce Drake's Oklahoma entry this season.
Lovelette, if his asthma whips into shape at Lawrence, will play freshman basketball this year and be ready to repay Phog's kindnesses beginning with the 1949-50 campaign.
The sun is 93,000,000 miles away. The next nearest star is 30,000 times farther away.

Lou Crowds, rookie goal tender of the Washington Lions, today boasted his first shutout in the American hockey league.
Crowds turned the trick last night in the Lions' 2 to 0 victory over the Hershey Bears.
