Newman II won a 27 to 26 victory over the Blanks in an intramural basketball thriller that went into an overtime period last night. Newman led by a substantial margin of 15 to 6 at halftime, but the Blanks came back later in the game and threatened to turn the tables.
Garry Graham led Newman II scoring with 12 points, although five Blanks managed to put in at least two points apiece in the last half. Blanks failed to sink a free throw in the contest, which might have given them the winning point.
Acacia was nosed out again last night, this time by Theta Tau to the tune of 30 to 25. The engineers were ahead 11 to 9 at the half, and then held 'a slim margin until the closing minutes of the contest, in which they built a five-point lead. Lindeman Hot in Last Game
Ted Moser put in 15 points for Thata Tau to be high-point man for the contest, and Francis Domingo again sparked the attack for his engineering delegation.
The Crackerjacks, leading 11 to 6 at the half, kept up the good work throughout the rest of the game to take a 27 to 10 decision from Rock Chalk.
The team combination of Frazier and Borgman spurred on the Crackerjack attack, while John Reber was the Rock Chalk standout, scoring 8 of his team's 10 points for the game.
Phi Delta Theta overwhelmed D.U. to the tune of 39 to 12 in a contest which saw Mel Lindeman, veteran Phi, putting in 13 points to be high-score man in his last intramural basketball game. Head man for the D.U.'s was Jim Secrest, who chalked up half of his team's points.
Bennett Is High Man
Delta Tau Delta bowed to Beta Theta Pi 34 to 25, although seven Delt's managed to find the bucket for points. Ransom Bennett, Beta scoring ace, failed to find the basket during the first two periods, but managed to put in four field goals in the last half to be high man in this defensive contest.
In the other "A" team game of the evening, Carruth, driven on by the scoring duo of St. Aubyn and Humphries, who chalked up 10 points apiece, defeated Newman III 37 to 21.
In Friday's "B" contests, Beta "B" won from Phi Psi "B" 24 to 18, Kappa Sig "B" forfeited to Sigma Chi "B," and Delta Tau Delta "B" won from Acacia "B" by a forfeit. Delta Tau Delta "C" defeated Kappa Sig "C" 25 to 14 in the only scheduled division six game of the evening.
Shaky Tigers Lose Fourth Straight Game
It was the fourth Big Six conference defeat in succession for Missouri University last night at Columbia as the speedy Oklahoma Sooners came from behind to defeat the Tigers 46 to 31.
Sparked by the accurate shooting of D. Reich and Jim Marteney, the Sooners overcame the Tigers halftime lead of 19 to 15 and pushed their lead beyond the grasp of the Tigers.
A. D. Roberts and Tom Rousey paced the Oklahoma scoring with eleven points each, while Reich rang up 10 points. Ed Matheny led the Bengal scoring with nine points.
Missouri had two scoreless periods, the first coming in the opening minutes of the second half after the Sooners had tied the count to 21-all. Then the Tigers went scoreless for five minutes while the speedy Roberts and Guard Reich pushed the Sooners to a 29-21 lead.
The Tigers narrowed Oklahoma's lead with free throws and a field goal by Matheny, but lapsed into another six-minute scoreless. The Sooners again took a wide lead which the Tigers never threatened again.
Other games this week in the Big Six include Iowa State at Missouri, and Kansas State at Lawrence, both Saturday night. Iowa State will swing on southward and meet Oklahoma at Norman next Monday.
Gardner---'K.U. Doesn't Frighten Us a Bit ' He Comes Saturday To See
Kansas' once defeated basketball team will be afforded the opportunity to pass Oklahoma's Sooners, the team with whom it is now tied in Big Six standings, by virtue of the Kansas - Kansas State game here Saturday night.
Having won from Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, and having lost to Iowa State, the Jayhawkers are even in conference standings with Oklahoma which has defeated Kansas State (twice) and Missouri. The Sooners have fallen before Kansas for their only Big Six setback.
As Oklahoma remains idle Saturday, Kansas will have a chance to take undisputed second place in
Kansas State will be the decided underdog against the Jayhawks, but anything can happen in this bitterly fought basketball feud, and records show it usually does.
conference competition with a win over Kansas State, thrice defeated in the Big Six.
JACK GARDNER
Kansas State Basketball Coach
Frequently K.U. has taken the floor the heavy favorite only to be pressed in a neck-and-neck scrap with the Wildcats. Since Jack Gardner became coach at K-State, the Jayhawks have met with extreme trouble on their home court. Last year Howard Engleman and Co. were forced into an overtime period to win, 50 to 45. The previous season the Jayhawks came from behind to take a 34 to 33 decision in the closing seconds.
This year the Jayhawkers boast one of their best teams, and Gardner recognizes the excellence of the Kansas quintet. In fact, he picked K.U. to win the Big Six championship because of its wealth of material. But neither Gardner nor any member of his team concede a thing when it comes to Saturday's game.
"KU. doesn't frighten us a bit," Gardner said. "We are going out to win the ball game. The Jayhawks had been built up before when we
Gardner pointed out that Kansas State met two of the nation's best quintets in Washington and Washington State on the West Coast earlier in the season. "Until we tired, we were in the ball game with these teams and we have shown improvement since," he said.

and we intend to do the same thing
