The Delta Gamma's edged out a fighting Tipperary team 30 to 28 in women's intramural basketball games played last night. The score in the last minute of play was 29 to 23 for the Delta Gamma's and then a player on the Tipperary team fouled. The DG's made the free throw and the game was over. Ruth Payne, DG forward, led the scoring in the game with 17 points. The scoring was more evenly distributed among the Tipperary forwards, each of them making from 9 to 10 points. The game was a little rough with both teams playing for keeps and doing a lot of fouling with it. All three of the starting Delta Gamma guards had 3 personal fouls at the close of the game.
The Theta's defeated the Sigma Kappa's 31 to 12. Kathryn O'Leary, Theta forward, led the individual scoring with 14 points. She made 4 of her 10 tries at the free throw line.

Sportorials
Iowa State's "M-boys" are leading the conference scoring race. Mott is currently on top while Myers is close behind. Hines and Weatherby follow and next come the Kansas trio, Reynolds, Corder, and Moffett. The game averages for the top teams follows:
By JIM MORDY
The game averages for the top seven are as follows:
Mott, Iowa State ... 14.5
Myers, Iowa State ... 13.5
Hines, Oklahoma ... 13.3
Weatherby, K-State ... 11.5
Reynolds, Kansas ... 10.5
Corder, Kansas ... 9.5
Moffett, Kansas ... 9.5
Kansas Has Well-Rounded Scoring
By adding Kansas three stars' averages together, a 29.5 average per game is obtained. Adding Iowa State's two stars' averages, a 28 point average is totaled. Kansas would thus be seen to have a more rounded scoring punch than any other team in the league.
Eastern Kansas high schools just don't seem to have it this year. Topeka high has beaten Wyandotte and Shawnee Mission, and all other opposition has bowed to one or more of these three. But the Topekans to both Salina and Newton by decisive scores, 20 and 30 point margins. Newton is having a tough battle in
Iowa State leads the Big Six with an offensive average of 55 points per game, Oklahoma is second with 47.7, and Kansas is third with 46.5. More than half of the Cyclones' punch is supplied by the two "M-boys" mentioned above. A team stopping either one of these two can cut off a fourth of the Iowans' scoring punch. A team which can hold "Scooter" Hines down, can cut off a fourth of the Sooner's offense, but a team holding one of the Jayhawkers' stars would still have two other scorers to stop.
Predict Weekend Wins
According to dope, comparative scores, home court advantages, winning streaks, comebacks, and all the other factors which forecasters use to predict games, Iowa State, Kansas State, and Kansas will win this weekend. The margin of victory should be in about that order.
ent. Salina May Take AA Title
Salma looks like the team that might take the state AA title for 1945. The Maroons beat a stronger Newton team last year in the regions, only to lose to Shawnee Mission in the state semifinal game at Topeka. The Maroons gave the Indians a closer game than Newton did in the final.
Smaller high schools in the west are almost always stronger. The Class B title has not been won by an eastern team for years, unless Mankato is considered an eastern team. The last three Class A titles have been won by Hays, Augusta, and Fredonia. Fredonia is the only eastern team to win the A title, which was only set up in 1941. Before that the bigger schools were in A, the smaller in B, and there was no AA
