Phi Gam B Team Wins Cage Title
Superior height and shooting ability gave the Phi Gamma Delta "B" team a 38 to 31 victory over the Phi Delta Theta second squad in the finals of the "B" league playoffs.
The contest started out in high scoring gear. By half-time, the Phi Gams had built up a 5-point lead, 19 to 14. The third quarter saw the winners hit their hottest tempo. In that stanza, the Phi Gams looped in 10 counters while holding the Phi Delt team to 6 free throws.
The rangy Phi Gams controlled rebounds and broke up Phi Delt passes throughout the game to take the championship. The losers, unable to penetrate the tightly defended area beneath the Phi Gam basket, were forced to rely mainly on long shots.
The winners frequently broke in for close goals, particularly in the fast-paced second half. The usually smooth-functioning Phi Delt fast-break was stymied by the ball-hawking tactics of the Phi Gam five.
The final quarter saw a resurgence of Phi Delt scoring power, but the Phi Gam lead proved too great a handicap.
MacFerran, agile Phi Gam center,
led both teams in scoring with 14
points. He looped in nine markers
in the first two quarters to spark his
team to its half-lead lead.
Haines, tricky Phi Delt forward paced his team with 11 counters.

In New Jersey, an arsonist went about setting a forest fire, paying little heed to a plane that buzzed overbridg. State police nabbed him

More schools in Minnesota play six-man football than in any other state.
In New Jersey, a pigeon's nest was responsible for burning a school. Sparks from a workman's blowtorch ignited the nest, which set fire to the school. The school burned down. $ ^{e} $
Speaking of firemen helplessly watching a building burn, a Tennessee fire department went out to fight a tobacco warehouse blaze. En route, the fire trucks had to stop for a slow-moving freight train. The warehouse burned down.
Shrapnel from Civil War days figured in another of 1946's odd fires. In Marietta Ga., firemen fighting a blaze in a war museum-restaurant were kept at bay by exploding shrapnel. It seems some of the Civil War weapons were still loaded.
Also embarrassing was the fire that broke out in an Oklahoma office building one day. It did little damage except to the dignity of 19 fire insurance companies, an underwriters' association and an inspection bureau, who as tenants were smoked out of the building.
In Freeport, N.Y., a tramp who spent the night in a clubhouse over the fire station accidentally set fire to a sofa. Too ashamed to tell the firemen, he walked across the street to a cafe, borrowed a nickel and put in the alarm. The firemen were unaware of the fire over their heads.
Fires can occur just about everywhere, the national board of fire underwriters, which compiled these oddities, warns, but you'd never expect one far beneath the bed of the Hudson river. Yet that's where one fire broke out, as a truck overturned in the Holland tunnel between New York and Jersey City and spilled 70 gallons of gasoline. The resultant fire tied up traffic for $3\frac{1}{2}$ hours.
In Texas, another arson suspect complained of a sore back in jail and asked for a turpentine rub. A prankish cellmate gave him the rub—and also a burn, by setting the turpentine on fire.
shortly after and informed him the plane carried a fire warden.
Clock-Watching Pigeon
Takes Every Afternoon Off
Minneapolis, Minn. (UF) — The most confirmed clock-watcher on the Minneapolis park board is an unpaid bird.
It is a white pigeon which arrives promptly at 8 am. and leaves just as promptly at noon. The pigeon's favorite employee is Charles Anderson, who said he "could almost set my watch" on the bird's arrival and departure.
Doris Tihen Takes IM Table Tennis Crown
Doris Tihen, College freshman, won the women's intramural table tennis championship recently by defeating runner-up Joan Anderson, education junior, by decisive 21-10, 21-8 scores.
To take the 1946-1947 honors for Gamma Phi Beta, Miss Thien defeated Lenore Brownlee, Locksley, in the semi-finals. Miss Anderson defeated Frances Chubb, Pi Beta Phi, to enter the finals.
