Basketball Banter
By BOB BOCK
We believe it can safely be said that the intramural basketball program just completed has probably been the most extensive and the most speedily run off program ever, anywhere at any time. For in this sixteen day period nearly 35 games were played. Taking one team for example, the Tennessee Club played nine games—all the teams played at least seven—in the sixteen days which, excluding the week-ends, is nearly a game every night. In fact the champions played three games in the last two nights.
Yes, it probably was too much basketball, but the players received so much enjoyment out of the games that is most certainly was worth while. Weather conditions were ideal with the many rains, the officiating was good, and the general spirit and sportsmanship of the players was especially commendable. It can be truly said that no place can the true character, fighting spirit, ability to "get along", cooperate, and work together be better brought out than on a basketball court.
Dr. Allen stated Wednesday night that since the basketball program had taken so much of the boys' time intramural team activities such as softball will not begin until after two or three weeks. However, varsity basketball practice will be scheduled for those interested some time after July 1, he added.
The reason for playing so many games in such a short period was to have a "speedup" intramural program for all the boys in the Navy Reserves—and many of the players were—enabling them to take part in league competition before they are called July 1.
"STRICTLY -wound up in a tie for first place, each with six wins and two setbacks with the completion of their schedules on Tuesday night.
(continued from page two) And the boys who stood guard duty also at the Navy Building won't be forgotten. They will get their freedom this week-end.
The people of Lawrence paid tribute to the boys and really showed their appreciation, but more about that later, as most of it is still scuttlebutt, but there seems to be a lot of scuttlebutt about a "picnic."
Special "hats off" to the Lawrence man, who remembered in the midst of last Saturday night that there were some men who had to stay on duty over the week-end, and sent up some ice cream for them. Guess it's all proof that you just can't beat the good old U. S. A. It's good-by shortly to the Ninth Division, as they complete their course this Saturday and get ready to "axe the Axis." Lt. O. N. Pederson, Division Officer, and his men have made a fine record during their period of service at the school.
With "good-bys," come "hellos" to Lt. (jg) Orville Hood and Lt. (jg) C. H. Weeks. Lt. Hood will be the officer in charge of the academic schedules for the machinists' mates, while Lt. Weeks will see that the boys are physically able to handle the academic schedule.
Back to "good+bys," it's farewell Lt. (jg) J. S. McNeill. Lt. McNeil has gone to the east coast for further special training.
Guess that's about all the scuttle-
butt today, but, gosh, do you know
that the next division to report
aboard will be the 13th!!!
More next Thursday.

Plav-offs
After sixteen days in which nearly 35 games were played to round out the round-robin schedule, the Victory Intramural Basketball League is all through and a champion has been crowned.
Tennessee Club ... 2 0 1,000
Delt ... 1 1 .500
Phi Psi ... 0 1 .000
Beta ... 0 1 .000
The champion—the tall Tennessee Club cagers—won over Delta Tau Delta in the finals of the play-offs Wednesday night after they had taken out the Phi Psis while the Delts had bested Beta Theta Pi in the first round games.
The play-offs came as a result of the Deltas winning out over the Betas who were almost in as champions since this one victory would have given them the undisputed title. Consequently, four teams--the Betas, Delta, Phi Psis, and Tennessee
The play-offs Wednesday night were played the full length of the court, but the games were shortened to twenty minutes to cut down on the strenuousness for the two teams that had to play two games. In the Phi-Psi-Tennessee encounter, Tennessee was too good on the rebounds, and they consequently came out on top 22 to 13. Bill Mathews with seven, McCormick with five, and Stowitz with only four after having piled up 65 points in his two previous games, paced the Tennessee cagers. Kirk Scott tallied seven to lead the Phi Psis.
In the second game the Delts repeated their Monday performance by whipping the Betas, this time by a 19 to 13 count. Eock with eight and Haynes with six were high scorers for the Delts, while Diehl as usual was the point-maker for the Betas with eight points to his credit.
Then in the finals the weary Delts succumbed to the lanky, rebounding, fast-breaking Tennessee outfit by a score of 19 to 25. Bill Mathews, plunking them in from right and left, scored 11 points to spark the Tennesseeeans to their championship, while Moffet kept the Delts in the game with eight points.
Monday night saw the Betson knocking the Betas off their perch and forcing the play-offs as a result, and the Tennessee Club massacring Jollife by the unheard of score of 131 to 35. No, that is not a typographical error, for the score was actually just that—131 to 35. The half time count was just a mere 48 to 13, and then Tennessee really got to going as they poured in 83 points in the last half which is better than five points a minute for the sixteen minutes. Stowitz scored 54 points, Kingman 29, McCormick and Bob Mathews each 24, and Mahanna 14 for the victors.
In the night's other game the Phi Psis were too much for Battenfeld, winning 44 to 23 with Scott amassing a 20-point total.
On Tuesday, the final night of play, Jolliffe took their last beating which was not nearly so bad as the teriffic walloping they received the night before, but bad enough as they were trimmed by the Sig Alphs 50 to 17. Gage with 16, Winters with 11, and Brinen with 13, were the "hot shots" for the Sig Alphs.
Tennessee Club was given a real battle by a fighting little Templin band before they finally won out, 39 to 35. Tennessee led only 27 to 23 at the half, and they were stretched all the way. Dean and Bob Corder were the whole show for Templin as they scored 26 points between them, while Bill Mathews with 12, Stowitz with 11, and McCormick with nine were the Tennessee Club point-makers.
