Closer Battles Feature Tonight's Intramurals
Several interesting basketball games are on tap tonight as the two intramural leagues go into the seventh session at Robinson gymnasium. Unlike Monday's games, in which undefeated teams played cellar teams, tonight's games feature battles for runs on the final ladder of standings.
Residence Halls Seek Fifth Straight
Residence Halls is again the favorite in their game with the Sigma Chi's at 7.30. The Sigma Chi's lost to the Phi Psi's 14 to 25, but won from Dick's Demons by a 25 to 23 score. If the Residence Halls win, they will come up to their final game with the Beta's undefeated. Since the Beta's are also undefeated, this game should decide the league winner.
Kappa Alpha Psi is Favorite
In the first game in the "A" league, the Draft Dodgers play the Tekes. Neither team has won a game so far, and the loser will probably occupy the cellar position for the rest of the season.
The other game in the "A" league features Kappa Alpha Psi against Delta Tau Delta. Both teams have won two games, but the Kappa's have lost only one, while the Delt's have lost two. The Kappa Alpha Psi loss was to the league-leading Phi Delts, so they are pre-game favorites. The winner will probably occupy the third place rung at the end of the season.
Dick's Demons will play Phi Gamma Delta in the 8:30 "B" game. The Phi Gam's have lost to the leading Beta's and Res. Halls, while winning two. The Demons lost to both of these teams by larger scores, also losing to Sigma Chi and winning only from SAE, the bottom club of the league.
Navy Adds Boxing To Activities Program
About 30 men are expected to be entered in the V-12 boxing by next Tuesday, according to Chief Specialist Gathings. The bouts will begin at 4:30. All classes are represented, and all men are entered from each PT.
In the basketball tournament PT 8 will play PT 7 and 6 will be matched against 5 as soon as the gym can be obtained, either this afternoon or Friday. Both games are in the "B" or second team half of the bracket. Previously, 8 defeated 10 by a 25-17 score and 7 won a 26-24 thriller from 9. PTs 6 and 5 drew byes the first round.
In the upper half of the basketball tournament, PT 7 and PT 10 are already in the second round. Both teams won easily in the first round, PT 7 beating PT 5 by a 49-4 score and PT 10 winning over PT 6 by 44-6. Second round games will be played later this week.
Finals in basketball will be post-poned until the boxing tournament reaches the final round, and possibly until volleyball is also in the final stage. Since volleyball will start after completion of second round basketball games this week, it will be at least a couple weeks until the finals are played.
When all sports are ready for the finals, Chief Gathings and Ath. Spec. Don Davis, in charge of basketball, will put on the matches as a GQ program.
Swimming and cross country running are also on the docket for the near future.

University High Wins From Eudora 51-30

High scorer for the University high quintet in yesterday's game was Olmstead with 20 points. From his position as forward he tossed in seven field goals and six free throws. Porter and Krone also starred with 10 and 16 points respectively.
The starting lineup was Porter and Olmstead, forwards; Krone, center; and Tait and Kirchhoff, guards. Also playing for University high were Barlow, Ellsworth, O'Neil, Sommer, Ashby, Lawson, and Cochrane.
Lets be all out to help the Navy, and stand watch for the better half of Lynn Leigh and John Murrays' fountain pens. These PT 3 fellows can't help themselves or each other with the same end of their tools missing. For description, see want ads.

Quite a fuss has been raised over Hamline college's use of "Howie" Schultz, who played with the Brooklyn Dodgers last summer, and "Rollie" Seltz, another professional baseball player, on their basketball team. Dan Ferris, secretary of the National A. A. U., has issued a statement informing all colleges on Hamline's schedule that they will be banned as amateurs unless they drop their games.
If a team plays a banned team, then any team playing that team is also banned and an endless cycle is started. This is the A. A. U.'s traditional manner of enforcement. Joe Hutton, baseball coach at Hamline, says that for 25 years all the schools in the Minnesota State college conference have permitted their athletes to play pro-baseball in the summer and compete in school sports, including baseball, in the school year. Hutton Condemns Denver A. A. U. Most
Meet
If this statement is true, it is in direct contrast to the rules followed by other conferences, and the school should be punished. Why it has not been done before remains to be seen. Hutton also condemns the A.A.U. tourney in Denver as being very un-amateurish. This may be true, but it has nothing to do with the present flare-up.
Texas Christian university cancelled its Jan. 20 game in Kansas City with Hamline because of the A. A. U. ruling Monday, Other

Collins is Graduating
The Sun Shines Brightly
Paul Collins, Missouri basketball captain, is not going into the service as was stated yesterday. After passing the required number of hours, he is to graduate from the university. Please pardon the error. Just the same, he will play only two weeks more.
It's too bad the University of Kansas can't follow the University of Hawaii's intramural program. Having just finished bowling, they are busily engaged in swimming, outdoor softball, and basketball. As soon as the swimming is over they will start water polo—all in a beautiful outdoor pool, of course.

Intramurals Adequate Here
Up at Toronto university intramural hockey is in the midst of a long season. They have completed tennis, golf, track, marathon, and volleyball, and are starting in on basketball, baseball, water polo, swimming, and wrestling. Skiing and ice skating are available to everyone, but not in intramural competition.
We have an entirely adequate intramural program here. With many navy men participating in both navy and university intramurals, and fraternity membership limited, the same men are participating in each of the different sports. More than one sport at a time would take up too much time, even if the physical education staff had time to supervise them.
N. C. U. Extends Closing Hours
Closing hours for co-eds at the University of North Carolina have been extended to 11 o'clock on school nights, but provisions were correspondingly made for enforcing quiet hours more strictly during study periods.
Doubling of Induction Rate Necessary for Half of 1945
The Theta's defeated the Pi Phi's by a 21 to 10 margin. The Pi Phi's kept up a rapid defense but their numerous fouls handicapped them. The Theta's were leading at the half 9 to 4 and made 12 to the Pi Phi's 6 scores in the last half of the ball game. Kathryn O'Leary, Theta, was high point player of the game with 13 points. She made five of her eight tries at the free throw line. Jean Stodard was high point player for the Pi Phi's with 6 points.

Washington—(INS)—Under-Secretary of War Patterson today told congress that the armed forces will take an additional 900,000 men in the first six months of 1945. Patterson's statement indicated near doubling of the present army-navy induction rate from around 80,000 a month to 150,000 a month.
