Eight Intramural Teams Resume Play Tonight
Eight of the fourteen men's intramural basketball teams play tonight in Robinson. These are the first games to be played since Dec. 20, before the Christmas holiday. Unbeaten Teams in "A" League
In the first game of the "A" league at 7:30, the unbeaten Phi Delts meet the unbeaten Kappa Alpha Psi team in the game that may decide the league championship. The Phi Delts have won two lopsided victories, over the Draft Dodgers and the Tekes, and one 32 to 24 victory over Sigma Nu. The Kappa Alpha Psi team defeated the Tekes and the Sigma Nu team before the Christmas layoff. The Phi Delt队 is a decided favorite but their opponents are speedy and fast and must be watched carefully at all times. Since none of the Kappa Psi's are over 6 feet tall, Sam Harris, big 6-foot 3-inch center, should be a big advantage to the Phi Delts.
In the "A" league's second game the Delts meet the Tekes. The Tekes have lost to both the Phi Delts and the Kappa Alpha Psi's while the Delts have split a pair, losing to the Kappa Sigs by a point and winning from the Draft Dodgers 32 to 22. The teams would appear to be about evenly matched and a close battle should result.
Residence Halls Undefeated
Dick's Demons meet the Residence Halls at 7:30 in the opening "B" league encounter. After defeating the Sigma Alphs 23 to 10 in their opener, the Demons lost a 23 to 25 thriller to the Sigma Chi's. The Residence Hall team, led by Tom Saffell and Orval Kaufman, is undefeated in two games. They won a close one from the Phi Gam's 18 to 17 and then defeated the Phi Psi's 32 to 19 for their second win. The Residence Halls would appear to be slight favorites on this basis.
In the last game of the evening in the "B"league, the Phi Psi's tangle with the Phi Gam's. On the basis of the above games with the Residence Halls team, the Phi Gam's would be slight favorites. In their other gambes the Phi Gam's lest to the Beta's by a 26 to 34 score, and the Phi Ppsi's won from the Sigma Chi's 25 to 14.

Have you noticed the enormous change in the basketball line-ups of Big Six teams this season? Very few of last year's regulars are back this year. Missouri has lost Pippin, both of the Minx twins, and Crowder from their starting five. Collins, who made second team all-Big Six, is back and has an 8.8 average in five non-conference games. Heinsohn, Dellatious, and Leonard Brown are returning lettermen but were not starters last year. Eugene Kurash, a letterman from Rockhurst, is leading the Tigers with a 9.8 average.
Brookfield, Paine gone
Iowa State has lost all-American Price Brookfield, also named all-Big Six last year; Gene Oulman, second team all-Big Six; Ray Wedhe, all-Big Six forward; and Roy Wedhe, his twin brother. Only returning letermen are Bill Block and Jim Myers and they were not regular starters last year. However, they are leading the scoring for the Iowa team this year. Myers with a 10.5 average and Block with a 9 point average in four non-conference games. Orlyn Fuerback, recently discharged from the army, was a 1442 letterman and has a 10.4 average.
Oklahoma has lost about equally with Iowa State, whom they tied for the conference last year. Allie Paine, all-American last year and all-Big Six; Pryor, all-Big Six gd.; Ramsey, second team all-Big Six center; and Vaughn have all left the Sooners. Only returning starter is Jack Landon with a 5.8 average in nine pre-season games. Harold "Scooter" Hines, who played last year at Westwestern university, is leading the team and the Big Six non-conference scorers with a 13.4 average. Bill Johnson, with no college experience, is second for Oklahoma with a 6.2 percentage so far.
Kansas State has lost Cooky, second all-Big Six last year, who was the only one of Cliff Rock's original team to play the full season. If you remember, it was the Aggies who lost four of their first five in the middle of the season last year, including Gish, Doyan, Otto, and Schwirtz. The Aggies are depending entirely on new talent. Weatherby, Neodesha star with a 7.7 average, and Joe Ridgeway with a 7.3 average are leading the Staters so far.
Nebraska has lost Artman and Kirlin, in fact everyone except Holkins and Tangeman. Neither starred particularly last year. Leading the Cornhuskers this year are Hahn, with a 9.2 average; Strahan, with 8.0; and Peterson with 7.8.
Barrington, McSpadden Lost
Kansas, as you know, lost Barrington, second all-Big Six; Sherwood, Lindquist, Turner, McSpadden, Dick, and Stucker of the more regular players. Moffett, the only returning starter, is second in the non-conference scoring with a 10.6
Payton's field goal from the center of the court in the last 15 seconds of play gave Kansas State a thrilling 54 to 53 victory over Oklahoma at Manhattan last night.
Gustafson
The score was tied fourteen times as advantage switched from one team to the other. At the half Okia-six minutes to play the Wildcats held a lead of 53 to 45, but the Sooners spurred to a lead through scores by Brinegar, Hines, and Lindenberg. Then came the "Dick Merriwell" shot by Payton that set K-State fans wild.

Aggie Goal Wins In Last Minute
Free shots kept the Sooners in the game and gave them their half-time lead. After missing the first four free throws, they connected for the next 17 in succession. Harold "Scooter" Hines, Oklahoma, led the point makers with 18. Brinegar scored 14 and Weatherby of Kansas State 12.
Referees were Lance, Pittsburg Teachers, and Oberhelman, Kansas State.
average. Corder and Goehring are also back from last year's team. Scott, who played a little early in the season last year, is second for the Jayhawkers in pre-season play with an 8.4 average.

With this absence of experienced stars the conference race should be wide open. By the games played so far one can, of course, make opinions and predictions, but the best prediction seems to be that there will be a lot of upsets and that the race should be much closer than last year's.

Tipperary more than doubled the score to defeat Locksley hall in their game. Marita Lenski led the scoring with 9 points for the Tipperary team with Marion Greenlee of Locksley making 6 points. Locksley was without the services of their best forward, Colleen Richmond, and thus were playing under a handicap.
