Ringing up baskets from all over the court, a red-hot Hell Hound squad had little trouble last night trouncing the luckless Rock Chalk Co-op men 50 to 7 in a Division III intramural basketball game.
Leading the Hell Hound onslaught was Bob White, one of the finest guards in intramural ball. White slipped in 17 points, and played a standout floor game. Carl Unruh contributed 12 points to the Hell Hound total
from his forward position.
The fast-moving Hell Hound squad held the losers to a single point in the first half, and then substituted frequently in the third period. Paul Brownlee took scoring honors for the Co-op squad with two field goals.
Sigma Phi Epsilon had plenty of trouble with a stubborn Delta Upsilon squad, but finally downed their opponents 28 to 21. The game was slow and rough throughout.
Phil Russell, D. U. forward, was high point man for the game with five field goals. Leading the winners' attack was Larry Johnston, who starred last year with Newman II. Johnston turned in an aggressive game of ball-hawking, and contributed nine points to his team's total. He received assistance with the scoring chores from Don Widner and Curly Hayden.
Halftime score of the Division II contest was 12 to 9 in favor of the Eag Ep's.
After being badly outplayed in the first half, the Phi Kappa Psi "B" squad hit its stride in the second half to run away from the Delta Tau Delta "B" team 34 to 18. The winners were cold in the first two periods, and went into the third quarter trailing 14 to 11. John Horner and his teammates suddenly found the range, and from then on the contest was all Phi Psi.
Horner and Brown were the Psi aces, while little Bill McIntire, a clever ball-handler, stood out for the losing Delt's.
The high-riding Phi Kappa Psi "A" squad received a forfeit from Tau Kappa Epsilon in a Division I contest. The Jayhawk Co-op squad also forfeited to Battenfell hall.
In the lightest weekend schedule of the season four teams will see action tonight and four more tomorrow morning.
Last night's pin matches completed the first round for four of the eight competing teams. The Kappa Sig's moved into a fourth place tie with Sig Alph bowlers by beating them two games out of three. The Beta's retained their position as leaders, taking three straight games from the rollers from the D.U. house.
The Beta bowling team struck out in a blaze of glory last night when they beat the D.U.'s 2466 to 2322, in a three game match. This triple victory clinched first place in the league for the Beta's with a percentage of 761, 16 wins and only 5 losses. The D.U.'s finished last in the league race with 6 wins and 15 losses for a percentage of 285.
The Sig Alph pin-busters lost to the Kappa Sig rollers in a heart-breaking match. In the last line their 801 pin record was just two pins short of the Kappa Sig's 803 pin total. This match ended competition for both teams and left them tied for fourth place with 10 wins and 11 losses apiece. The Sig Alph total for the three lines was 2301 while the Kappa Sig's knocked over 2400 pins.
High seoring man for the evening was Kappa Sig, Bob Gumn, with a total of 584 pins for the three games, and an average of 195 per line. Next

Army Bids For Baseball Ace
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 27 — (UP)— Baseball's leading hitter learns today whether he will go into training this spring with the Boston Red Sox or the army.
Minnesota Selective Service headquarters disclosed that the Hennepin County (Minneapolis) draft board number 6 would have an announcement about the final draft classification of lanky Ted Williams, 23-year-old Boston outfielder who hit .406 last year.
Williams faces either re-classification as 1A—subject to immediate induction in the army—or as 3A—which would allow him to return to baseball where he made a reported $18,500 salary last year.
The draft board's announcement presumably deals with an appeal from Williams' previous classification in 1A.
He passed the physical examination Jan. 8, the draft board physician pronouncing him a "healthy specimen."

Oklahoma's 'Old Man' Still Shows'em How
Norman, Okla., Feb. 27—The Old Man reaches in his pants pocket and carefully lays his cigarets and his key ring on the bleacher seats, then steps out on the shiny basketball floor.
He is bare-waisted but wears basketball shoes, long trousers and a confident expression.
"All right!" he chirps, cockily, "I'll play with the Skins. Let's go!"
"Look out there, Dad, you'll get racked!" shouts A. D. "Ug" Roberts, the varsity's crack forward and cleverest jockey.
"The losers buys the winners an orange squeeze!" calls Dick Reich.
The Sooner varsity that will battle the Kansas Jayhawkers tonight has gone in, showered, and returns to see the coach do his "comeback." With shouts of glee they linger along the sideline in civies to see the fun and rib Drake.
"Everybody pass to the coach!" razzes big Gerald Tucker in his space-piercing tenor.
Drake grins but pays no attention. The scrimmage starts. The coach mixes it with his boys but seems to have lost his touch. They intercept his passes, block his shots, and take the ball away from him. Nobody shows him any mercy.
A Razzing Drake Does Get
After two or three sprints up and down the big floor, the Old Man begins to puff. He tries to drive in for a set-up but some yannigan gives him the hip and he hurtles into the bleachers, barking his shin. He is awarded a free throw at the far end of the court but elects to save the long walk by pegging the ball in from out of bounds where he is standing. Soon he is playing a stationary forward under his own goal.
It is Bruce Drake, the Oklahoma basketball coach and 13 years ago captain of a Big Six championship Oklahoma team that was all-victorious in conference play. Short one player, the 36-year old Sooner mentor de-9
cides to personally fill in as the tenth man at the fag end of the daily drill.
Drake Knows When To Quit
Everybody on his side respectfully throws him the ball if he is at all open.
WALK-FITTED
BOSTONIANS
Yes sir... Nuts to Butch . . My feet are going out tonight, matching moves with some Sweet Cookie. So put on those "dance-fitted" Bostonians, Store Man, and let me go.
$8.95 up
Mansfield Shoes ---- $6.50 up
Black Dress Oxfords ---- $6.50
"Yah! Yah!" the varsity shrieks at every pass to the coach. "Tryin' to make the club!"
Finally tiring of the good-natured abuse, the Old Man turns himself loose and for one thrilling play takes the astonished spectators back to the Bruce Drake of a dozen years ago.
Dribbling low and moving fast, the Old Man suddenly seems to pour himself catlike through the entire foe defense. Like a rivulet of spilled water hurrying down a groove in a sidewalk, the dribbling oldster zig-zags past man after man and rises in the air to thread the goal.
The brilliant effort has completely exhausted him but the Old Man is smart.
"Take it in, boys! That's all!" he orders, gruffly, and commandeering the ball and snatching up his cigarettes and key ring, he trots to his office paying no attention to the protestin ghorus behind him of "Ono more goal! Just one more!"
For the latest scores of tonight's basketball game, call the Kanson newsroom.
