Phi Delt, Beta To'A' Finals; Independent Playoffs Begin
Phi Delta Theta and Beta Theta Pi nosed their way to the finals of the "A" team playoffs last night with close semi-final victories. The Phi Delt's stopped Kappa Sig, 34 to 29, and the Beta's eked out a 29 to 27 overtime decision over the Pi K. A.'s.
Walt Quiring hit for 14 points as the Phi Delt quintet worked smoothly
in their offensive maneuvers. However, the Kappa Sig pivot man, Lee Sauder, stole the show as he piled up 15 points for scoring honors and kept the winners worried with his effective hook shots.
Beta and Pi K. A, tangled in a thriller that ended in a 26 to 26 tie as Clinger sank a pair of free throws for the Pi Kap's with the Beta's leading by two points on Winter's goal with 30 seconds left.
7 Independent Games
In the overtime the Beta'siced the contest on two charity tosses by Ralph Moon and one by Winter, while Clinger was sinking one for the Pi Kap's.
The Fiends and Demons worked to a 26 to 18 decision over the Jokers in the opener of the Independent league playoffs. The winners led most of the game as Clangston hit consistently for 10 points and Nicholas helped him with eight. Crane paced the losers with seven tallies.
The high scoring Y.M.C.A. outfit outclassed the Dix Club 44 to 24 to move into the second round of the playoffs. Hardy Scheuerman had 11 points and Clark 10 to pace the dangerous "Y" five to their win. Ashlock sparked the losers with 11 points and Norris counted 10 to help the losing cause.
Last Chance eliminated the Army by a decisive 28 to 15 win that saw the losers outclassed from the first of the game. Branum totaled eight and Darling seven for the Last Chancers while Bowden led the Army with five points.
The Deuces Wild pulled a mild upset as they dropped the EIDorado A.C., 27 to 24. Martin paced the winners, who led at the half 12 to 6, with 12 points while Rinehart EIDorado ace, counted 11 points for the losers.
Aces High out trumped Navy, 35 to 29, in a fast game. DeLuna starred for the Aces with 10 points, but gave up scoring honors to Van Gundy of the Navy with 12 counters.
Aces High Sinks Navy
The Law School had to go all out to take a 35 to 33 contest from the Gamma Delta squad that wouldn't give up. Bock and Nordling accounted for all but 11 of the winners' points as they hit 12 apiece. L. B. Hammer's 10 tallies led the losers.
Spooner Thayer, sparked by the sharp-shooting of Sanchez, scored a neat 33 to 20 victory over the Batterfeld quintet in a fast game. Sanchez tallied 12 opins on six buckets from all over the court. However he shared scoring honors with his teammate, Gilkinson with 12 markers also.
In the only "B" team game scheduled, the Phi Psil's hammered the Kappa Sigs 31 to 23. Mullens and Apitz with 11 and seven points respectively led the Psil's to victory while Parker could shake loose for only seven points for the losers.
Hornets Hit Top By 57-45 Victory
Atchison, Feb. 27—(UP)—T h e Kansas Central intercollegiate conference basketball race is going right down to the wire with Wash-burn and Emporia State elbowing each other to try to cross the finish line first.
The two teams are tied with just a single game apiece to go. Tomorrow night Emporia is host to Hays a team which tripped the conference defending champion two weeks ago while Washburn goes to Winfield to play Southwestern—the league cellar-dweller and loser to Washburn once this season.
The hornets of Emporia caught up with Washburn last night, besting the Ravens of St. Benedict's here 57 to 45. With 2,500 fans watching, the invading Emortians led narrowly at the half 25-23, then pulled away in the final period as their shooting accuracy became deadly.
Hall Of Fame Adds 2 Stars
New York, Feb. 27—(UF)—Herb Pennock and Harold "Pie" Traynor, stars from baseball's famed golden era, were named today to the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N. Y., but for Pennock the glory came a little too late.
Their selection was by baseball writers of 10 or more years service, and for Pennock, who died while attending a National league meeting here on Jan. 30, it was a memorial.
Pennock, the stylist left-handed pitching star of the New York Yankees, received 94 out of a possible 121 ballots while Traynor, who served with distinction first as a third baseman and later as manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates, got 93.
NYU Can Cinch Bid
New York, Feb. 27—(UF)—New York university, the only major undefeated basketball team in the nation, could nail down a bid to the National Invitation tournament with a win over Rutgers tonight—but whether the Violets would accept the invitation was open for question.
The team which has won 18 straight and faces four more games before the end of it's schedule may choose to hold out for a possible N. C. A. a bid. The N. C. A. A. is considered the favored tournament this year because it will produce two representatives for the Olympic tourney and the Invitational only one.
The choice would be one of either holding the bird in the hand, or shooting for the two in the bush. In passing up the Invitational, N. Y. U. could be left in the cold if the N. C. A. A. committee picks Columbia, which has a 16-1 record to date.
The invitational yesterday announced three of the teams which will participate-St. Louis University (19-2), runner-up in the Missouri Valley conference; Texas (18-4), the no. 2 team in the Southwest conference; and Western Kentucky (24-1) an independent.
