The post-season tournament of Lawrence city basketball league got under way Wednesday night. All games are being played at the Community building, the championship contest scheduled for Saturday night.
Teams entered in the single elimination play are: Ober's-Legion, Poehler's, Rural Routers, Haskell, Blanks, Jayhawk-Fritzel, and De Soto.
Rexall won the regular season championship, winning seven games while dropping none. The Rexall players were unable to enter the current tournament because the playing dates conflicted with previous plans.
This column mentions the city tournament because it thinks many K. U. students might be interested in seeing some top flight basketball. The rosters of the city league teams include a good share of former Jayhawker cage stars.
Playing for the Ober's-Legion team are Howard Engleman, Bob Allen, and Milt Allen, three of the brightest stars in Kansas basketball history. This same队 also boasts several other former K. U. players, including Odd Williams, Don Barrington, Gene Barr, "Sparky" McSpadden, Everett Hill, and Max Kissel.
On the Rexall team which defeated the Ober's-Legion crew to win the regular season title are numerous athletes known to K. U. students and Lawrence townpeople. The list includes Junius Penny, Max Kennedy, Bill Forsythe, Bob Stoland, Paul Turner, and Gordon Stucker.
In the crucial game with Ober's- Legion, which Rexall won by a 52 to 41 count, Stoland scored 11 points to lead the winners. Penny, Forsythe, and Turner followed in line for Rexall with 9 each.
Bob Allen of the losing team took high point honors for the game by looping in 14 scores. Don Barrington was next for Ober's-Legion with 10. The even distribution of scores indicates the tight play which has characterized the games in which the league leading teams have participated.
The Poehler's team ended up in third place in the standings. On this squad are such former K. U. cagers as Don Diehl, Bob Malott, Bob Fitzpatrick, Homer Sherwood, Lou Goehring, Herb Heim, Willie Frank, and Vance Hall.
The Pochler's crew lost only two games during the schedule, both by close margins. They dropped an early season contest to Ober's-Legion, 34 to 30. Later, they were defeated by Rexall, 67 to 62.
In first round games of the tour- ment played Wednesday night, Poelher's, Haskell, and Ober's-Legion turned in one-sided victories.
Poohler's hit the scoring jackpot with a 90 to 31 triumph over the Rural Routers. Haskell handed De Soto a 56 to 34 defeat. Ober's-Legion took the measure of Jayhawk-Fritzel by a 65 to 33 count.
Homer Sherwood racked up the high point total for the night when he tossed 22 points through the bucket for Poehler's. "Sparky" McSpadden led the Ober's-Legion crew with 16 scores.
Second round games scheduled for tonight are:
7:30—Blanks vs. Poehler's
9:00—Ober's-Legion vs. Haskell

Black Makes AP Big Six Team Fourth Time In College Career
Charley Black has been selected on the Associated Press all-Big Six team for the fourth time in his college cage career.
The Jayhawker forward was named in 1942, 1943, 1946, and now in 1947. The "Hawk" averaged 12 points a game in Big Six competition this season and has hit the nets for 313 scores in 27 contests for the year.

Stillwater—(UP)—An extra period was needed but Oklahoma finally beat Oklahoma A. and M. after 12 years in basketball on the home court of Aggie Coach Henry Iba.
Black averaged 12 points a night in the 10 game conference schedule and had a total of 313 points for 27 games.
The Oklahoma Sooners won 48-41 after the regular playing period had ended with the score knotted at 40. The largest crowd ever to see a basketball game in Oklahoma—9.600—including members of the Oklahoma legislature jammed Gallagher hall for the contest.
Sooners Win 48-41 Over Aggies-Finally
A. and M. center Bob Harris scored the point Wednesday night to send the game into overtime. Coach Bruce Drake's Sooners used the stall system for all it was worth to hold its narrow lead in the regular playing period. After Harris tied the score for A. and M., center Gerald Tucker tried a desperation shot for the Sooners in the final 10 seconds. It failed.
Ray Evans and Otto Schnellbacher represent the Jayhawkers on the Associated Press second five.
