Buffs Pass NCAA For N.Y. Tourney
With Missouri playing Kansas and Oklahoma A. and M. tangling with Oklahoma tonight the outlook was bright that the teams which will compete in the Western Division play-offs of the N.C.A.A. might be determined.
However, events of the day have so complicated matters that now only Rice seems like a certainty to enter. And it is through no smart handling by Rice that the Owls are sure. Their only competitors, Arkansas and West Texas, stepped out because of injuries and another $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
tournament so Rice had no choice but to accept the bid.
Colorado May Drop N.C.A.A.
The Seventh District was presumably settled with the Colorado Buffaloes a certainty to compete. But this morning Frosty Cox, coach of the Buffaloes, queried the Wyoming Cowboys, second place winner of the Big Seven, if that team would be willing to compete in the N.C.A.A. meet if the Buffaloes went to New York and competed along with West Texas, Rhode Island State, and five other teams in Ned Irish's Madison Square Garden tournament.
The last development merely backs up "Phog" Allen's statements that the heads of the N.C.A.A. are a bunch of money-grabbers. If Frosy Cox,
who is a member of the National Rules Committee of the N.C.A.A., refuses to have anything to do with the tournament and would rather play for more money at New York, then it appears quite logical that there is considerable basis for Allen's charges.
N.C.A.A. Fails To Make Good
"The N.C.A.A. and A.A.U. are only gobble' organizations. Each three-year eligibility school pays the N.C.A.A. $25 a year for dues and this money is supposed to handle all expenses of the organization," Dr. Allen said. "The whole thing (the N.C.A.A. tourney) was put up in competition to the Madison Square Garden tournament and now the member schools are dropping it cold because the big-wigs are taking all the money.

Start Important Series At Stillwater Tonight
Oklahoma's Sooners will collide with the greatest defensive basketball team in the land when they engage Coach Hank Iba's Oklahoma Aggies tonight at Stillwater.
The hot Sooner shot-makers who scored 63 points on Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's powerful Kansas Jayhawkers before 7,000 at Norman last Friday night, hitting above 40% of their shots to bury the Jayhawks under the largest score made against a Kapsas basketball team since basketball began at Lawrence back in 1899, may decide to look into the recent statement of Eddie Hickey, Creighton coach, after they strike and rebound off Iba's steel-ribbed defense Friday.
Defense and ball control are the Genesis and Exodus of Iba's basketball bible. All of the Iron Duke's clubs have known how to guard, and also how to play keep-away when they decide to protect a lead. It's the first thing they are taught and the last thing they forget.
Jayhawks Saw Tight Defense
"Iba is the greatest defensive coach in the business," Hickey recently observed, "but I believe his technique is based too much on defense for the general good of basketball. If all coaches went for that type of play to the extent the Ag-
Just One Clear-Cut Class A Title Winner
Table tennis and badminton second-round games must be played off by tomorrow or names will be scratched off the lists.
DIVISION I
Newman I won the only clear-cut title to an upper division in intramural basketball play when it cinched the Division II crown Wednesday night with a victory over Delta Tau Delta. Both Division I and Division III resulted in ties for the title.
Because of the basketball game, there will be no square dancing at Robinson gym this evening.
The finals standings:

Runnerup to the Newman quintet in Division II were Pi Kappa Alpha and Beta Theta Pi. Alpha Tau Omega took third place in the Division I competition.
In Division I it was Phi Kappa Psi who came from behind late in the season to gain a share of the championship. Co-holder of the lead is classy Phi Gamma Delta. Three teams—Carruth hall, Newman II, and the Hell Hounds-share Division III honors.
WOMEN'S INTRAMURALS
Miss Ruth Hoover, assistant professor of Physical Education, and Miss Dorothy Pulley of Kansas City, both national basketball judges, will give official ratings to individual ball players Saturday, March 14, at 7:30 p.m. at the gymnasium. Teams, consisting of any girls wishing to participate, will play, and members will be graded by Misses Hoover and Pulley according to national standards.
The University Daily Kansan's All-Big Six Conference first and second teams with honorable mention lists will be presented in Sunday's Kansan.

Hickey's bitterness is understandable when it is considered he voiced it right after his crack Bluejays, scored only seven field goals on their home court at Omaha while losing to the Aggies there, 22 to 31.
"Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers also know how it feels to have the hot breath of Iba's pickets on their necks. Although the Jayhawks normally shoot 75 times in every ball game and had averaged 51.1 points, they were permitted reduced rations of only seven field goals and 37 shots when they played the Aggies two weeks ago here.
Aggie Quintets Jinx Sooners
Iba's Aggie teams have dealt Oklahoma more basketball woe than any other opponent the Sooners met. Drake's Sooner clubs have beaten Iba's Farmers only twice in seven meetings. Oklahoma hasn't won at Stillwater in the last seven years. The Aggies have won the last four meetings in a row, even
