BY DON KEOWN
For a while last night it looked as though Newman I, pride of the independents, might go down to its first intramural basketball defeat of the season. However, a last quarter spurt gave the Clubmen a narrow 35 to 31 margin over a fighting Pi Kappa Alpha outfit.
Hero of the Newman victory was Tony Coffin, one of the finest guards ever to appear on a Robinson gym court. Coffin entered the game late in the first period without benefit of a warm-up, and from then on was the whole show. The big guard rebounded brilliantly, stood $ ^{\circledcirc} $
Atwell As Pi K. A. Star
out on the defense, and contributed seven points to the Newman total.
However, scoring honors for the Newman squad went to Junius Penny, former Lawrence High flash, with 10 points, all of them coming in the first half.
It was the fine long range sharpshooting of Bill Atwell, Pi K.A. center, that was mainly responsible for the early lead of his team. At one time midway in the second quarter the fraternity boys held a lead of 20 to 10. A Newman rally cut the margin down to 20 to 16 at half-time.
"Curly" Hayden Looks Good
The Newman cagers went into the lead for the first time just before the end of the third quarter. However, the Pi K.A. squad came back in the last period to again forge ahead. With but minutes remaining Frank Heck and Coffin began pouring in the goals that provided the winning margin, as the Pi K.A. defense melted.
The first place position in Division II competition was at stake in the game.
Carruth hall maintained its fast pace in Division III play by an impressive 40 to 28 win over the Crackerjacks. Held to a 15 to 13 margin at the end of the first half, the winners began to find the basket in the last half and pulled away.
Jack Doores, Carruth forward, took scoring honors for the game with six field goals. Harold Walters led the Crackerjack attack with 11 points.
Sigma Phi Epsilon held the Kappa Eta Kappa quintet to a single field goal in the last half as they trounced the electrical engineers 41 to 10. Otto Teichgraeber and "Curly" Hayden were the Sig Ep stars, Vernon McKale was the Kappa Eta Kappa standout.
Delt's Lose Championship Hopes
The Beta Theta Pi "B" squad had little trouble downing an outclassed Delta Tau Delta "B" team 33 to 14. W.C. Hartley garnered 15 points for the winning Beta's. This game eliminated the Delta Tau's from title consideration in Division IV.
In a Division III contest the Blanks defeated the Jayhawk Coop quintet 38 to 23. Facing the Blank attack was Delmar Green with eight
field goals. Bob Wolfe contributed nine points to the Jayhawk total.
The Carruth hall "B" squad won a hard-fought game from the Tau Kappa Epsilon "B" team 30 to 21. The play of Ed Colburn was the feature of the Carruth play, while Tolbert Anthony stood out for Tau Kappa Epsilon.
Three of the four games scheduled for tonight will pit "A" teams against each other. Feature game will be the 10 o'clock contest between the evenly-matched Delta Chi and Alpha Tau Omega teams.
Volleyball Intramural Standings
The Phi Gam's are now leading in the men's intramural volleyball tournament. They boast an average of 1.000 having played and won three games. Two other teams in Division I carry a percentage of 1.000, the Faculty having won two games and the Sigma Chi's one.
Gerald Tucker Paces Sooners With17 Points
In Division I four squads have a perfect record to date. The Sig Alph's have two wins and no losses to their credit, while the Beta's, Phi Psi's, and Sig Ep's have all played and won one game.
The standings so far this season are not absolutely indicative of the teams' ability, as several have played three or four games while others have only been matched against one team.

DIVISION II
The Huskers succeeded in breaking up the Sooners screening attack, but were not able to outscore the Oklahoma quintet. Bob McCurdy, sophomore guard for the Sooners, tied the high scoring Sidney Held up tight in a brilliant defensive exhibition. The score at half time was 17-13, only three points in the Sooners' favor. In the second half the Oklahomaans began to creep away from the Huskers, though the Nebraska squad was making a desperate attempt to gain a lead.
Although Gerald Tucker was closely guarded, he succeeded in slamming in 17 points with his deadly left hand.
