Pi KA Surprises Sig Alph In First Round Of Playoffs
"The Pi K. A.'s, Beta's, Phi Delt's, and Kappa Sig's marched to the semi-finals of the fraternity "A" team playoffs with first-round victories last night, while the Sig Alph, Phi Delt, and Beta "B" squads turned in first round wins in the "B" team playoffs.
ading all the way, the Pi K. A.'s turned in the evening's most amazing
play as they upset the strong Sig Alph's, 21 to 19, despite a last quarter rally by the losers. Oldham, who starred for the Pi Kap's during the regular season play, dashed in 11 points to spark the winners to their first playoff. The Pi KA.K.'s led Thompson four points until the closing minutes when the losers rally fell short. Thompson led the Sig Alph's with nine points.
Beta Stalls to Win
Stalling effectively the final two minutes of the game, the Beta's outlasted the Phi Psi's, 17 to 16. Superb defensive play by both clubs kept the score low and the game tight all the way. With two

and a half minutes to go pivot man Ralph Moon, who scored seven points to lead the winners, dropped in a charity toss to break a 16 to 16 deadlock.
Kappa Sigs Are Smooth
The Phi Delt's handed the A.V.C. a sound 32 to 20 thrashing to make themselves a strong title contender. Leading 14 to 10 at the half, the Phi Delt's poured on the steam to win going away from the veterans. Quiring led scorers with nine markers for the winners.
The Sig Ep's hit a stone wall in the Kappa Sig aggregation as they dropped a decisive 35 to 25 decision. Beal with 10 and Philblad with nine were the big guns in the Sig attack that racked up a 16 to 11 halftime lead. Flashy little Lyle Woodring of the Sig Ep's tied for top scoring honors with 10 points. The Kappa Sig's worked smoothly to set up plays for scores that spelled the difference.
In "B" team playoffs, the strong Sig Alph's came through true to form with a 25 to 16 trouncing of Sigma Nu. Dulaney collected seven and Moddlemog six, to lead the Sig Alpha's to victory. Seaman and Smith both got five for the Nu's. Favorites Win
The Beta "P" took an easy 31 to 20 verdict from the Phi Gam's with tall Ralph Simmons swishing nine points and LaRue seven for the Beta's. Gardener counted seven to pace the losing Phi Gam's.
The Phi Delt "B" team passed the scoring around as they walked over the Delt Chi's, 35 to 21. Tanner got eight and Hogan and Harris each seven as the winners took advantage of effective team play to squech the Delta Chi's. Graham dunked seven for the Delta Chi's to lead the loser's scoring.
Short Scores 27 To Pace Wesleyan
Salina, Kan., Feb. 25-(UP)-Paced by John Short, who scored 27 points, Kansas Wesleyan rallied in the last half to down Bethel college 69 to 16, in a Conference basketball game here last night.
Bethel led, 29 to 27, at half-time. Short and company took over after the first three minutes of the second half to go out in front and Wesleyan was never headed.

$21,000 Bid To Ray Evans
Pittsburgh. Feb. 25—(UP)—The Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football league reportedly hiked their signing price from $16,000 to $21,000 today in their attempt to land Ray Evans, star Kansas halfback.
Evans, however, remained non-committal at his home in Kansas City, Kan., although a Steeler spokesman admitted last night that coach Jock Sutherland had telephoned Evans four days ago.
"We haven't given up on getting Evans and hope he will be in our backfield next year," the spokesman said.
Ray Evans wasn't talking today,
but he was pondering a reported
£21.00 offer.
That's pretty nice pondering, followers of the All-American from Kansas agree, but whether it's nice enough is something else again.
Evans, originally offered $16,000 by the Steelers, had "no comment" on the new offer today and spokesmen for the Pittsburgh team would neither deny nor confirm the $21,-000 bid for the halfback's services. They did comment, though, that "we think Evans is a great player."
Evans has indicated a lack of desire to play professional football and it is generally understood he has a business offer that appears most attractive to him. If he doesn't accept the business offer now, it may not be open in another year and so Evans is pondering.
But, as friends put it today, "$21.000 . . . that's nice pondering."
