UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1942
The refereeing at the Creighton-Kansas game Tuesday night was not only pleasing to the spectators but more important, to the players and coaches themselves. "Phog" Allen commented that the officiating of Mike Oberhelman and A. B. Hinshaw was the best that night that he had seen in three years.
YOUNG REFEREES ARE BEST
Allen was especially enthusiastic over the work of Oberhelman. He said that henceforth he will recommend only young referees who are working high school games. They are more active and alert while on the court and furthermore, they are not afraid to call decisions as they see them. "This fearless calling of fouls is what I like," the wily Kansas coach said. "I'm getting tired of having these fellows from Kansas City come over and ignore so many violations.
"And I think that these new officials are just the ones to stop this mad rushing down the court, fouling this way and that," he continued. "They won't have any obligations and they'll call the fouls as they're made and put the guilty players out of the game. This will make the game more sane. But I still think that the rule makers are responsible for the high number of fouls that are being made in each game. If the center jump were brought back and a rotation made of this, the game would be slowed down, the players would take more time on their plays, and better basketball would result."
ONE MINUTE DRAMA
Eddie Hickey, coach of the Creighton Bluejay team, hollered down the bench for Barney Burdick, former Rockhurst High player and at present a sophomore center on the Creighton team, to take off his warmups and get ready to go in the game Tuesday night for Ed Beisser, regular center. Burdick sat there for a moment and then yelled back at Hickey, "Do you want me to go in now, Coach?" Hickey was infuriated at this remark and snarled back, "You take off your warmups and get ready to go in and sit right there until I want to send you in and I'll call you."
DORNEY MAY BE CHOICE AT ROCKHURST
When Kansas played in Kansas City against the Great Lakes Naval Training Station team, the teams of Rockhurst and Baker played the preliminary. Baker won in a comparatively easy game but that was not the important part. Jack Hayes, the Rockhurst coach, was inducted into the Naval Reserve along with three members of the Union Wire Rope team of the Kansas City Naismith League, Clarence "Pansy" Ratzlaff, Al Schrik, and Evans Powell.
Comment during the game, in the main by students of Rockhurst College, was that "as a basketball coach Hayes is a good football coach." In fact, the Rockhurst students were overjoyed that Hayes was enlisting in the Naval Reserve. He is scheduled to leave March 25.
The new coach at Rockhurst has not been selected as yet although applications are being received regularly. The best prospect at the present time seems to be Tom Dorney, present Ward High School football coach. Dorney has been relinquishing several of his extra activities during the past few years in contemplation of just such an opening. Last year Dorney was a popular choice for the Rockhurst vacancy but was neglected when the appointment was made. This year, however, he seems to be the logical successor to Hayes and is the popular choice of the Rockhurst students.
S300 FOR THE WICHITA GAME
The goodwill game at Wichita this year did not prove quite the bonanza that the same affair was last year. At the latter game the University pocketed $745 as its share of the gate receipts. This year however K.U. received only $300 as its share. Perhaps the biggest explanation of this difference lies in the method of ticket sales.
Last year the Wichita Booster Club handled ticket sales and a total income of $1,881 was received. This year the Booster Club was a little provoked at the firing of Al Gebert and refused to back the ticket drive. As a result the income totaled only $872. This might not be as bad as it sounds, however, for the profit that the Booster Club made last year was put into a fund to secure football players for Wichita and this certainly doesn't help the University any.
Weekend intramural basketball play was featured Friday night by a brilliant scoring exhibition given by a red-hot Beta Theta Pi five as they walloped a bewildered Sigma Nu quintet by a record score of 96 to 20
It was the highest total accumulated by any team in intramural play this season, and gave the Beta's five triumphs against two losses in Division II play. Leading the strong victor's attack was Frank Bennett, who garnered 33 points to establish a new individual scoring record for the year. He received able assistance from John Fletcher and Jim Surface, who contributed 28 and 22 points respectively. John Cleverly led the Sig Nu scorers with 6 points.
The Beta squad hit baskets from all positions early in the game to go into a 39 to 7 halftime lead, and then continued the merciless rout in the last half.
Dean Huebert Leads Phi Delt's
The Beta "B" squadmen, however, were not quite as fortunate as their big brothers and lost yesterday morning to the Phi Delta Theta "B" crew by a lop-sided 33 to 8 score. By virtue of their win the Phi Delt's annexed the championship of Division IV with a record of seven wins and one loss.

Beta's Tally 96 Points
Leading the Phi Delt offensive was Dean Huebert with Frosty Wilson giving valuable assistance on rebounds and floor-play. Clint Kanaga, who was ejected from the game in the third quarter by referee "Curly" Hayden for unnecessary roughness, was the defensive bulwark for the Edgehill Road team. Tom O'Meeil led the Beta cause.
Postponement Taboo In Intramurals-Elbel
Three of the scheduled 18 weekend games resulted in forfeitures. Several other contests were postponed. Teams forfeiting were Alpha Kappa Psi to Delta Upsilon "B"; Sigma Chi "C" to Alpha Tau Omega "C"; and Sigma Nu "B" to Kappa Sigma "B".
There will be no further postponements of intramural basketball contests this semester, unless the team asking for the postponement has an exceptional reason for desiring it, Dr. E. R. Elbel, director of intramural sports, ruled yesterday.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon had little trouble defeating Delta Tau Delta, taking their Saturday morning game 36 to 14. Frank Gage was high point man for the game with 13 talles. John Goheen led the D.T.D. offense with three field goals.
Sig Alphs Win Easy
The Union Fountainers got hot in an overtime period to edge out the boys from Rock Chalk Coop 17
The announcement came after a week end of intramural play in which several contests were postponed. Other teams forfeited their games.
Dr. Elbel explained that such wholesale postponements disrupted the carefully planned schedule for the season.
