Intramural Playoffs Start Tomorrow
Intramural basketball playoff activities will be launched in earnest tomorrow night with four "A" team games and two class "B" games scheduled for play. Starting off the week's activities will be Alpha Tauomega, Division I third place holder, and Carruth hall, Division III co-champions. The men of Carruth rate but a slight edge.
The 9 o'clock contest pits Newman I against Pi Kappa Alpha. Newman already holds one narrow decision over their rivals, but the victory was scored with the aid of several men ineligible for playoff competition. If Bill Atwell, Pi K. A. center who might not appear in intramural play, shows up the Pi K. A. squad will probably be slight favorites.
In 10 o'clock games Newman II and the Hell Hounds will be decided underdogs as they take the floor against Beta Theta Pi and Phi Gamma Delta, defending champions, respectively. Both the underdogs, however, feature wide-open attacks and anything can happen.
The "B" team games bring Phi Gamma Delta against Fhi Delta Theta at 8 o'clock, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon against Sigma Chi at 9 p.m.
Roundups of the nine teams competing in the playoffs, their strength, and their records follow.
PHI GAMMA DELTA
Once again it seems that it will be the field against the defending champion Fiji's. The Phi Gam's have two members from last year's team which ran rough-shod over all playoff opposition. In Larry McSpadden they have a brilliant ballhandler, and a fine scorer. Chain Healy is a steady center who made the All-Intramural squad last year, and in a single game this year rang up 31 points, second best of the season. Roscoe Hambric, John Conley, and Wallie Hinshaw are all experienced in playoff warfare. "Swede" Olson is probably the best reserve in intramural play this year. All in all, it looks like the opposition will have to be red-hot to down the Purple Machine. The Fiji's this year have won nine games, while losing one.
PHI KAPPA PSI
The Phi Psi's talented quintet already holds one win over the Fiji's, and will certainly be out to make it two straight. The task is far from impossible, for the Phi Psi's have three of intramural's top scorers on their starting lineup. Dazzling Bill Hodge, towering John Hallberg, and massive Steve Meade would certainly present a problem to any defense. John Krum also aids in the scoring, while Clayton Kyle holds down the other guard spot. John Glover is a capable freshman reserve. The Phi Psi's have also taken nine of their ten starts, to tie Phi Gamma Delta for the Division I championship. Their only loss was to Alpha Tau Omega.
ALPHA TAU OMEGA
A talented but erratic A.T.O. quintet depends very largely upon the unorthodox scoring of Jim Webb, a fine forward with a 10.7 scoring average. Webb is one of the hardest men to guard playing at Robinson gym this year. Aiding Webb is his mate at the other forward berth, Don Williams. Mark McLain is a capable center who controls more than his share of the rebounds. Biggest feathers in the A.T.O. cap are wins over the Phi Fsi's and Sigma Chi's. Their three losses have been to Acacia, Phi Gamma Delta, and Kappa Sigma.
NEWMAN I
Last year's runnerups have sacrificed speed for size this year, and at times the substitution has seemed to be fatal. Nevertheless the Clubmen came through to grab the undisputed Division II title. Best man on the quintet is Junius Penny, happy-go-lucky guard, who was the leading scorer of the division this year. He receives able scoring assistance from tall Al Hecht and Frank Rengel. Cliff Nordstrom and Paul Hardman are good defensive guards. Denzel Gibbens and Charles Johnson will also see considerable action. Missing this year will be Tony Coffin, super-guard. The Newman's only loss this year was to a hot Phi Delta Theta five.
The Beta's are definitely a sleeper who could easily come through. Built around Harlan Altman, finest ball-handler in intramurals, the Beta attack is torrid when right. It features Rans Bennett, intramural's "Cinderella man", who in one contest stuffed 33 tallies into the basket. John Fletcher and Jim Surface can also rack up the points, while Bob O'Neil assists Altman with the defensive chores. The Beta's were tripped by Newman I and Sigma Alpha Epsilon this year. A semi-finalist last year, the Beta's could easily go even farther this year.
· BETA THETA PI
PI KAPPA ALPHA
The Pi K. A. squad presents one of the best balanced rosters in intramural competition. However, there is a possibility that Bill Atwell, standout center, might not see action in the playoffs. His loss would be a definite blow to any Fi K. A. championships hopes, Bill Mathews and Joe Crawford, forwards, are both fine scorers. McCormick is an able guard, as are Vesper Sheeley and Jack Engle. With Atwell, the Pi K. A. team will go far. Without him they cannot without luck hope to dump many of the bigger boys. The team has lost this year only to Newman I and Beta Theta Pi.
HELL HOUNDS
Last year's playoff darkhorse, they rate the same spot this year. They are confident they can better last year's semi-final finish in spite of tougher opposition. Bob White is one of the finest defensive men playing this year, and also along with Donn Mosser can pile in the points. Seward Fleeson and Carl Unruh are other scoring threats. Jim Cordell, regular center, might be kept from the playoffs by a leg injury. If he is, his place will be taken by Clarence "Tiny" Peterson, 6 foot 4 inch reserve. The Hell Hounds this year dropped a single game to Newman II by one point.
CARRITH HALL
The Carruth men are probably the steadiest of the independent teams. Headed by Mac Frederick, a forward who can hold his own in any competition, the Carruth team has repeatedly run up heavy scores against its opponents. Glenn St. Aubyn is a guard who could play on anybody's team. Jack Doores, Ralph Anderson, and Wendell Link are other men to be reckoned with. The Carruth squad dropped its first game of the year to the scrappy Hell Hounds, then proceeded to finish the
Phi Delt's Retain "C" Title
Phi Delta Theta repeated yesterday morning as intramural basketball "C" champions with a close 32 to 30 triumph over Beta Theta Pi. It was the second straight Phi Delt playoff victory this year by a field goal margin, their other victory being by a 22 to 20 margin over Phi Gamma Delta.
A terrific second half Beta rally sparked by ace forward John Shelton, one of the top scorers of Division VI, almost erased a huge early Phi Delt lead. The winners had coated into a 22 to 5 lead at halftime. In the second half it was the Beta's all the way as they poured 25 points into the basket but their rivals were counting but ten.
Shelton's ten points gave him scoring honors for the game. Ralph Weir was the Phi Delt star as he continued Thursday night's semi-final
Jim Jenson and Jim Waugh also took a hand in the Phi Delt scoring with seven and six points respectively. Bob Woodbury, steady Phi Delt guard, turned in a fine defensive and ball-handling performance. John Kreamer was the Beta defensive standout. The game was rough with frequent fouls being called.
pace by connecting with wired shots from all angles. The unorthodox forward contributed 10 points to the winners' total.
The defending champions win went down in the record books as an upset, since the Phi Delt's went into the playoff as the only entry having lost more than one game in regular season play. Thursday night they defeated the Phi Gamma Delta "C" squad in an overtime period. The Beta's had won their way into the finals by handing the Phi Kappa Psi "C" team its first defeat of the season.

NEWMAN II
Newman II boasts two of intramural's highest scorers, scampering forward Don Graham and center Bob Bell. Around these two men rotates the fortune of the team. The guardsmen are definitely not up to par with last year's fine defensive stars. Nevertheless the squad has shown spurts of play that would worry any opposition. Greatest need, in addition to more defensive power, is better-balance. The Newman

Eight of the teams are entering the playoffs with but one thought in mind—beat the Phi Gam's. The Fiji's opposition is definitely stronger this year, and much better balanced. At least the Phi Psi is must be recognized as having an equal chance of coping top honors along with the Beta's and Newman I.
