Sig Alph's Win Championship By Defeating Sigma Chi,36-30
---
Sigma Alpha Epsilon won the intramural basketball championship by defeating Sigma Chi 36-30 Tuesday.
In the first half of the game both teams threw up a stout defense that kept their opponents away from the basket. Neither team was able to get off many shots in close and both consistently missed long shots. The half ended with Sigma Chi leading 9-8.
At the second half, both SAE and Sigma Chi were concentrating on the offensive. SAE kept scoring in the third quarter and hit for 7 points before Sigma Chi could score on another free throw. Using their fire house brand of ball and hitting 7 out of 12 shots at the basket, the champions led 23-16 at the end of the third period.
First half rebounding honors were equal, but the SAE team dominated the backboards in the second half. Sigma Chi played without Bud French, their most consistent rebounder, and spotted the champions a slight advantage in height.
Thompson, Gage, and Daugherty hit in order for the winners to open the last quarter. Keene hit 2 goals from the free throw circle and Kansas scored a goal from in close to keep Sigma Chi in the running. With 4 minutes remaining in the game SAE led 30-25. Thompson, who performed brilliantly for the champs, then shook the tight Sigma Chi defense and scored on a setup. Wagstaff scored for Sigma Chi, but SAE held off the close guarding losers and passed sharply scoring two more times from the field. Wagstaff added a goal and Keene a free throw to end the scoring.
Thompson of the Sig Alphas was high scorer with 15 points. Keene, Sigma Chi, followed Thompson scoring 14 points on 6 field goals and 2 free throws.

AAU Teams Battle For Quarterfinals
Denver. —(U)— All nine seeded teams reached the third round of 16 survivors in the national AAU basketball tournament today. But at least one must topple by the way-side by the time the tourney quarterfinals are determined tonight.
Oakland was the headline grabber last night. The winner of the American Basketball League's tournament two weeks ago was smooth in clicking to a 63-48 victory over Springfield, Ohio.
But though Oakland won the ball game, it was a Springfield lad who snared the top individual honors. Jack Underman, who Ohio State's center in the Big Nine campaign this season, cocked through with 29 points, which gave him a total of 50 for the tournament.
Seattle is seeded ninth in the tournament, and meets third-seeded Oklahoma City tonight in one of the featured games in the third round.
Bardesville, Okla., the defending champion which ran up 103 points in its debut in this year's tournament, meets Glendale, Calif., City college and Oakland tackles Pepperdine college in other third round headliners.
Southern Methodist University, one of the best non-seeded teams in the tournament, scored a 52-36 victory over Hawthorne, Calif., yesterday while Milwaukee, another topflight non-seeder, licked the University of Denver, 61-53.

The record would have been even higher had not the influenza epidemic at Missouri held the crowd to 200 for the final Jayhawker-Tiger tilt. Despite the fact that Kansas completed a season with only average success, 16 won and 11 lost, cage fans found plenty in the play of the Jayhawkers to attract their interest and bring them to the games.
The home court record was also smashed in eight games in Hoch auditorium. This year's new mark is 29,545, eclipsing last year's high of 26,000.
Earl Falkenstien, athletic secretary, pointed out that the home mark would have been much higher had greater seating space been available.

This mark fell again last week when 9,600 attended the game between the Aggies and the Oklahoma Sooners.
