Playoffs Tonight In Intramurals To Be Battles
Four closely matched basketball teams will be striving for victory in tonight's semi-final intramural playoffs in Hoch auditorium.
At 7 the Phi Psi's, unbeaten champions of the A League, will meet the Beta's, B League runners-up, and at 8 the B League victors, the Phi Delt's, will tangle with the Phi Gam's, the A League second place winners.
The Phi Psi's boast one of the biggest men in the league in Ed Pyle, former Macksville ace, who has a deadly hook shot off a post. Teaming with the lanky sailor is another V-12. Leuhring, who, although as small as Pyle is large, makes up for his size in speed and shooting accuracy. Chestnut, Phi Psi manager whose successful drop kicks spelled defeat for Missouri and Warrensburg on the gridiron last fall, also is good for a few baskets each game.
The Beta's, who earned their playoff offberh by beating out the Sig Alph's, 30 to 23, last night to break their second place tie, are a far more potent outfit than they were in early games and rank at least on a par with their Phi Psi rivals. The addition of Roderick, who scored 12 points in last night's dual for high honors, and Sifers, both AST's, has boosted the Beta cause immensely. Mowery, the griddler, and Chase also give any team a busy evening in stopping them.
Phi Delt's Appear Stronger
The Phi Delt's, boasting former varsity squadmen Scott, Hedrick, and Harris, appear to be a mite stronger than the Phi Gam's, although both teams are well stocked with material. Huebent, high score for the Phi Delt's, will have his hands full in attempting to outscore the Fiji high pointmaker, Whittenberger, second high intramural scorer. The Fiji's, with such players as Hartigan, Riegle, "Red" Stucker, and Neff, lost only in A League play to the all-victorious Phi Psi's.
The finals will be played in Robinson gym Wednesday night with the championship battle at 7 and the consolation contest immediately following.

From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Although leading only 18 to 16 at the half, the Iowa State Cyclones hammered down the Missouri Tigers in the last 12 minutes in last night's important Big Six contest to win, 43 to 32 . . . With eight consecutive conference victories pocketed away, Menze's boys still have to meet Oklahoma and Kansas, a mighty tough chore however you look at it . . . Should Oklahoma triumph in their return game with the Cyclones it would knot both teams in a tie for first . . . The Allenmen, if they could pull a victory out of the fire in their battle with the Cyclones here March 3, would not only beat Allen's pupil, Menze, out of the championship but would also wreck Allen's pre-season prophecy that the Iowans would win the championship in a breeze . . . But before any thoughts should be turned toward the Cyclone finale, the Jayhawks must first take care of Kansas; State there tomorrow night (a supposedly simple chore) and then the Missouri Tigers here (and not so simple) Saturday night . . . Should Kansas lose to the Tigers in the battle for third place it would be the first time a Kansas team has wound up in the second division since the formation of the Big Six in 1929
Big Upset
In one of the biggest upsets in these parts this season the Washburn Ichabods downed the Hutchinson N.A.S., winners over Oklahoma A & M, at Topeka last Friday, 37
to 35 . . . The sailors were without a starter, Barnum, but yet couldn't match the startling performance of the inspired Ichabods who were determined to wind up their season in a blazing fashion.
The N.C.A.A., if it doesn't begin offering competing teams more (i.e., MONEY) than just glory, it will soon become just a minor attraction in comparison to the attractive New York Metropolitan Tourney in Madison Square Garden . . . Already the Oklahoma Aggies, best team in these parts, and Utah, the best, in fact the only team of merit, in the Rocky Mountain Area, have accepted Garden bids.
N.C.A.A. Losing Out
Odds And Ends

Probably just as startling as the Washburn victory over Hutchinson was Pittsburg Teachers triumph over Arkansas . . . Arkansas, with Rice, has already clinched a sure championship in the Southwest conference . . . Yet neither Pittsburg and Washburn, in their contests with Kansas, were second rate ball clubs . . . The Olathe Clippers, stopped by Missouri the other night; after piling up 20 straight victories, now seemed headed the other way.
. They lost their second straight to Maryville, Mo., Teachers last night, 48 to 58 . The Big Six conference athletic directors will meet in Kansas City Saturday night to discuss spring sports and army trainees.
Society Needs Law Dean Moreau Says
The study of law must be kept going for the good of society even though it may not be studied as fully now during the war, Dean F. J. Moreau said recently in a meeting with pre-law students.
No group of men will do more in this war than men in the legal profession. The war is being fought to preserve laws which are practiced by the lawyers.
Those who are guiding young people looking forward to law, Dean Moreau said, should note these ideas
in their guidance: The lawyer should be thoroughly informed; he should know how to think; and he must know how to express himself both orally and in writing.
Women should know the opportunities open to them in law today, Dean Moreau said, for now is the time to break down the prejudices built up against women practicing law.
The students were warned not to "dilute the concrete which goes into the foundation." He advised students to get a well-rounded college background before entering the School] of Law.

Summerfield Scholars To Be Nominated
Invitations to the faculties of Kansas high schools to nominate candidates for the Summerfield Scholarships at the University were issued by University officials this week. These scholarships are maintained through funds given by Solon E. Summerfield, New York manufacturer and University alumnus. The amount of the scholarships depends upon the financial requirements of the successful candidates, and those having no outside resources will receive grants sufficient to cover all necessary expenses incident to a college education.
Appointments, which are made by the University's Summerfield Scholarships Committee with Dr. Paul B. Lawson, College dean, as chairman, are made for merit only, without regard to the financial resources of the nominees. Nominations by high school faculties are not to exceed five percent of the boys of the graduating class and should reach the University committee not later than March 10, according to preliminary announcement. Each school is entitled to at least one candidate.
On the basis of information furnished by the schools, a selection will be made of the nominees to be invited to a preliminary examination to be held at several points in the state on Saturday, April 1. The average number of candidates has been approximately 250 for the past few pears. From 20 to 30 will be chosen from the preliminary contestants to come to the University for the final tests on May 5 and 6. From 10 to 15 candidates are usually selected for the awards.

Wall Falls In Mud Hut
A loud crash followed by the sound of glass breaking and a buzzing noise startled students and professors in the Aeronautical Engineering building about 2 yesterday afternoon. Prof. H. S. Stillwell interrupted a long distance phone call to dash to the front office, where he found part of the wall had fallen over.
Bits of broken glass from a fallen picture covered the floor. A tin wastepaper basket was crumpled, and the filing cabinet had a long gash in one side.
Across a desk lay a 9 by 10 foot section of wood frame with heavy insulite covering. C. R. Shields, CAA Coordinator, Elsie Folks, and Kati Gorrill, stenographers, who had also hurried to the office, were attempting to lift the section off the desk. It had fallen on an adding machine, switching it on so that a buzzing sound was produced.
The section was part of a wall between the office and a classroom. That part of the building had originally been designed as a radio station with large windows between the rooms. The insulite sections were installed in place of glass when it was used instead for the aeronautical engineering department. It had evidently never been fixed in place securely with nails or pegs.
Miss Gorrill, College junior, who customarily works at the desk the boards fell on, was typing in another room. Mrs. Folks had just left her desk when the section fell. Glass covered her chair, and the edge of the board extended over it.

Announcements for February graduates are in the business office and may be obtained today, Jill Peck, chairman of the invitations committee, said today.
