YMCA 38, ASCE 14 Dix Club 29. Army 23 Y. M.C.A. gave promise of becoming a strong contender in the championship race by winning handily from A.S.C.E., 38 to 14. The winners started slowly, but before the end of the first quarter began to warm up, and pulled away to a 17 to 5 lead at halftime. Y.M.C.A. substituted freely, and the scoring was well distributed. Vern Scheuerman paced the winners with 9 points, Jim Valentine was close behind with 8. Dick Van Gundy counted 6 for the A.S.C.E. team. Sig Alphs Win 30 to 14 Leading by a comfortable margin most of the way, the Sig Alph's "B" team rolled over the Phi Kappa Tau "B" 30 to 14.

The University of Oklahoma gets its first cage test of the season tonight against the University of Texas. With four starters of last year's Big Seven co-champions back this year, the Sooners expect to show plenty of class against the Texans, who have split their first two games. James Not since the Sooners belted Texas twice 38 years ago have the Longhorns met Oklahoma on its hard court. In that year Oklahoma was all-victorious and defeated Texas 59 to 26 and 63 to 23. The Oklahoma starting lineup does not include the 6-foot 11-inch sophomore Marcus Freiberger, but the young giant undoubtedly will get into the game. All tickets for tonight's encounter have been sold. University business manager Bill Cross warned that persons shouldn't bother to come to Norman for the game if they don't already have a ticket. Kansas will face three conference opponents in indoor dual track meets this season. E. C. Quigley, athletic director, said Tuesday. Track Team Cards Three Dual Meets Coach Bill Easton's squad will meet Nebraska at Lincoln, Feb. 5; Colorado at Boulder, Feb. 12; Missouri at Columbia, Feb. 19. They will also compete in the annual Big Seven contest Feb. 25 and 26 in Kansas City, Mo. 1,200 Men On IM Teams The 126 squads entered this year represent the greatest number of teams ever signed up. In 1946 there were 82; in 1947 there were 102. The largest intramural program in the history of the University is now in progress. Over 1,200 men are taking part in intramural basketball In explaining this constant increase, Don Powell, intramural sports director, said, "The returning war veterans encouraged a stronger competitive spirit and the idea of taking part in everything they could. Many of them are gone now but they passed on that fighting spirit to the younger boys and they're the ones playing now. Sixty of the teams are from fraternities and 66 represent independents. This is the third year since the intramural program was started in 1920 that the number of independent teams has been more than those from fraternities. "We in the intramural office have been putting on a drive to get the independents interested, too. It was so successful that we had more boys wishing to join than we could accommodate. When a new field house is built we hope to have an even larger program," he said. Squads are classified as "A," "B," or "C." There are 42 independent "A" teams, 24 Greek "A" teams, 24 independent "B" teams, 24 Greek "B" teams, and 12 fraternity "C" teams. All "A" tilts are played in the Robinson annex and the "B" and "C" games are played in Robinson gymnasium. Contests are played every day of the week including Sunday. The large number of independent squads has given rise to strange names. Most Greek squads go by the names of their house but the independents choose their own monickers. Some of the more unusual are: Seven Schmoos, Quin Driblets, Men of Distinction, Schenley's Fifth, Unnatural Five, Gannymede, and Sazaries. Two of the fraternity "C team's titles are Jim Beans' Dream Team and Catacomb Kids. Call UNION T A X I 2—800 Ph. 2-800 We have all new equipment. DAY OR NIGHT- CAB Tickets are still available for tonight's basketball game between Trinity university of San Antonio, Texas and the Kansas Jayhawkers. It is the first home game of the season for the Kansans and they are favored to win. Game Tickets Still On Sale The Jayhawkers are expecting a rugged battle from the touring Tigers who ambushed the Texas Aggies, 56 to 49 in San Antonio, Dec. 4. Kansas was winning its opener at the same time from Rockhurst college 67 to 20. Last night Trinity lost to Creighton university in Omaha as they started a four game tour of the Midwest. Athletic business manager Earl Falkenstien said student demand for the odd-numbered set of tickets—which carry the Trinity contest—had not been heavy, therefore making a number of tickets available to the general public and students holding even numbered cards. None will be reserved. Tickets can be bought at the ticket office in Robinson gymnasium or at the box office in Hoch auditorium. In almost every case during the past two seasons Hoch has been packed with students almost shutting out the general public. The post-war enrollment has been so great that students can purchase tickets for only half the games. All members of the competing teams, ushers, officials, coaches, scouts, band members, press and photographers, will be admitted to this winter's basketball games here only through the northern-most door on the east side of Hoch auditorium. Doormen will be instructed to direct persons connected with these groups to enter the auditorium at that door. Bobcat 'Pays' For Hens Newport.

"Students and other team supporters can render both competing teams the most service by refraining from trying out their cameras for basketball action," Allen said. "The flash of numerous bulbs is disturbing to players and officials." Kansas basketball coach Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen asks that amateur photographers leave their equipment at home instead of "shooting" Hoch auditorium games.
