STANFORD HAS HEIGHT GALOI
The line-up for the N.C.A.A. tournament in Kansas City this week may turn out to be quite similar to the one two years ago. At that time Rice, Colorado, Southern California, and Kansas were the competing teams.
This year Rice and Colorado are definite entries with Kansas a strong prospect. The Jayhawkers must beat Oklahoma A. and M. Tuesday night to insure a spot in the playoffs. The other team, however, will be different.
STANFORD HAS HEIGHT GALORE
This year's team at Stanford is entirely different from last year's Southern Division championship crew. Coaches in the Cardinals' division last year picked all five of Stanford's starting line-up as their all-star team and yet the outfit lost to Washington State in the playoffs for the Eighth District representative to the N.C.A.A. meet.
Stantord is the choice from the West Coast and will be a definite threat on the basis of their season's record. Until last night's game with Oregon State the Indians had won 23 games and lost only three.
Whereas last season's quintet had slick ball-handlers and speedsters but very little height, this year's five has considerable height plus the other attributes. Co-captains Don Burness and Bill Cowden were the tallest men on the team last year at six foot three but this season they are the smallest men on the court.
Additions to the starting line-up include Ed Voss, six foot five and one-half inch center, Howard Dallmar, six foot four inch forward, and Jim Pollard, six foot four and one-half inch guard.
Pollard is the outstanding scoring threat on the team. He was the star and leading scorer of last year's freshman team and rated as the greatest prospect to hit the Stanford varsity since the days of Hank Luisetti. He was ineligible for the first seven games of this season but played in enough conference games to rank second in scoring behind Ernie Handelsman of U.C.L.A.
HOW ABOUT WARMERDAM FOR KANSAS RELAYS
Odds and ends: One of the many little dramas that will be happening at the N.C.A.A. playoffs this week in Kansas City will feature Bob Kirchner, six foot three inch junior from Topeka who is a regular guard on Frosty Cox's championship crew from Colorado. . . Kirchner's mother broke her shoulder recently but this will not stop her from seeing her son in action on the court. . . Mrs. Kirchner plans to reserve two seats at the game and let her right arm be extended over the vacant seat as she watches the Buffaloes attempt to annex the title which they failed to gain two years ago. . . In that tournament it will be remembered, Colorado lost to Southern California 38 to 32 and then in a consolation game dropped a tilt to Rice Institute, 60 to 54. . . The same year, however, the Buffs captured the New York Invitational tournament by defeating DePaul 52 to 37 and Duquesne 51 to 40.
Two members of that team, George Hamburg and Leason McCloud, are regulars hits year and were co-captains last year. . . . On International News Service all-star Big Seven team were McCloud, Hamburg, and Bob Doll, another member of the championship crew of 1940. . . . The Denver Post named these same three on it's first team. . . Kenny Sailors, the Wyoming flash who made such a hit last year at Kansas City, made both teams at forward . . . Bill Strannigan, Wyoming's married guard, made I.N.S.'s team and announced that he would play with the Denver Legion in the A.A.U. tournament at Denver this week. . . . The Associated Press all-Big Seven team had the same three Colorado players and Sailors but included Delbert Smith of Utah at the other guard. . . This was identical to the Denver Post's team.
Here's an idea for the Kansas Relays—Brigham Young is trying to line up pole vaulter Cornelius Warmerdam for its outdoor relays next month. . . His appearance in Lawrence would practically assure the financial success of the event. . . . Sam Francis, former all-Big Six star footballer from Nebraska, will have charge of the physical fitness along with Gene Tunney at Wyoming's football coaches' school in June. . . . How many remember Ernie "One Grand" Schmidt, the lad who used to rack up the buckets for John Lance's Pittsburgh cage team. . . . He's one of the better handball players now and will enter the A.A.U. meet at Denver March 28. . . . Another coach who is doubling in basketball and baseball is Ev Shelton, Wyoming coach. . . . During the last two weeks of the cage season he held workouts for his baseball batterymen. . . He and Allen should get together. . . . As should Phog and Ward "Piggy" Lambert, Purdue's basketball coach, who was honored at a dinner Tuesday night for his 25 years of Big Ten basketball coaching. . . . War takes its toll again with the announcement that the Greeley State Relays, started nine years ago for high school athletes, will be discontinued until the war is over.

Phi Gam's Win Two To Take I-M Title
BY DON KEOWN
The Phi Gamma Delta intramural basketball five once again proved they have the stuff champions are made from, as they came from behind during the weekend to drop the Phi Kappa Psi quintet twice and gain their third consecutive intramural basketball championship in Class A.
The champions had dropped the first game of the championship two-out-of-three series Thursday night, but came back with a 33 to 29 victory Friday night and a 43 to 40 triumph yesterday morning.
Healey Plays With Broken Foot
The Saturday game was a thrilling finish to a successful intramural basketball season as both teams turned on the steam to reel off as fine a 32 minutes of basketball play as intramural fans have witnessed this year. Fans were continually on their feet as the Fiji's staved off a desperate last quarter Psi attack.
The game had no individual standouts, as both teams had their heroes. For the winners there was burly "Swede" Olson, a reserve who was moved up to the first string because of Chain Healy's injured leg and who acquitted himself nobly with a 12 point performance; little Roscoe Hambric who repeatedly drove around his guard for setups; and "Silent" John Conley, a defensive stone-wall.
A High-Scoring First Half
The losing Psi's could point with pride to Bill Hodge, who lived up to his reputation as the most dangerous man in intramurals by racking up 17 points; Clayton Kyle, a fighting guard who at times in the third and final quarters seemed destined to bring the Psi's back from defeat single-handedly; and "Long" John Hallberg, who used his height for rebounding purposes that at times threatened to spell disaster for the defending champions.
The first quarter of the contest was principally a scoring race between Olson and the Phi Psi队 with the Fiji's holding a 13 to 10 lead at the end of the period. Midway in the second quarter the Phi Psi's tied the score at 17 all on Hallberg's tip shot, and a little later Hodge's sensational sharpshooting put them ahead. The Phi Gam's recovered however to lead 25 to 21 at halftime.

final quarter Hallberg brought the Psi rooters to their feet with a tip in that tied the count. But ever goals by Hodge and Kyle were more than matched by the Phi Gam's Walle Hinshaw and Olson. The last minute of play saw the Phi Gam's stalling desperately.
