Beta's Trip PiKA's For Biggest Upset
TOMORROW'S SCHEDULE
By BILL PORTER
6:00—John Moore vs. Newman III; Phi Psi "B" vs. Acacia "B",
9:00—Pk I. K. "B" vs. Carruth "B"; Beta "D" vs. Sig Alph "C".
10:00—Sigma Chi vs. T. K. E.; Sig Ep vs. Delta Tau Delta.
In one of the biggest upsets of the current intramural season, Beta Theta Pi, which had previously lost two games, took a 26 to 20 win Friday evening from a Pi Kappa Alpha five that up to that time was undefeated and had outscored its opponents an average of 30 points a game.
Inability to get started early enough was probably the big cause of the Pi K.A. defeat. The Beta's played serious, businesslike basketball from the starting whistle, and by the end of the first quarter had piled up a 14 to 1 lead over their startled foes. The trend continued in the sec- $ ^{4}$
ond quarter, and the score at halftime read 19 to 4.
Pi K. A. rallied in the last half, sinking 16 points compared to the Beta's five for that period; but Jim Surface, Beta rebound man, kept his team in possession of the ball long enough to prevent the score being tied up. Beta scoring was evenly distributed, with every member of the squad adding at least one point to the total, Ransom Bennett was high man with 8 points.
Joe Crawford netted 8 tallies for Pi K. A., in addition to playing an
but his teammates couldn't find the basket often enough to keep up with Theta Tau scoring.
Delta Tau Delta took a 30 to 23 win from a hapless Sigma Nu five that has yet to find victory on the court this season in Friday's only "A" team contest.
In the "B" divisions, Beta "B" overpowered D. U. "B" 34 to 8 with Dub Hartley, "baby pink and blue" forward, scoring 16 points, and Charles Cushing, the other forward, putting in 10. Tom Lillard, Tom O'Neil, and Dick Dreher, Betz

Carruth Hall displayed a tight defense which held its opponents, Jayhawk Co-op, to two points in the first half, and emerged from another of Friday's "A" division contests with a 47 to 16 victory.
Floyd Frederick, Carruth forward, was the mainstay of his team's superior scoring power as he put in 14 points to be high man for the contest.
Domingo Gets Hot
Theta Tau sprang a surprise win over Delta Chi as Frances Domingo, Theta Tau flash, got hot in the last half and flipped in a total of 18 tallies. Dick Channell, Delta Chi guard, looked good at his position,

Phi Delt's Win Close One
In Saturday's contests, the Hell Hounds won 29 to 25 from the Blanks in one of the fastest games seen yet on the floor of Robinson gymnasium this season. Scoring was neck and neck all the way, although the Hell Hounds, who led 10 to 9 at the half, were usually a few points ahead. Don Mosser, guard, played an inspired game for the Hell Hounds, while Winter looked good for the Blanks.

The most exciting basketball game of the season was played Thursday night between the A.D. Pi's and the Gamma Phi Beta's. The A.D. Pi team won 12 to 10. At the half the score was tied and during the second half the score was even until Lois Willcuts scored an extra goal to put the A.D. Pi's out in front. Betty Reece and Barbara Koch played well for Gamma Phi Beta.
Watkins Hall defeated Pi Beta Phi, 12-5. The scoring was distributed evenly among the Watkins Hall forwards with Althea Shuss (continued to page seven)
'Phog'Says Sooners 'Get By With Murder'
Forrest C. "Phog" Allen dug deeper into the dirt of Oklahoma athletic commercialism and subsidization yesterday when he charged the Sooner school with "getting by with murder" in buying and selling college athletes.
Already Allen has said that Jap Haskell, University of Oklahoma athletic director, is on the payroll of the Boston Red Sox baseball team as a talent scout, and that Lester Layton, Oklahoma baseball player, also is in the pay of the Red Sox.
Now "Phog" accuses the Oklahoma coaching staff of paying the way of 10 Wichita North High athletes to Norman "supposedly to watch the Kansas State-Ok-

ings passed down by special committees which have been assigned to the various branches of controversy.
The eligibility committee made the first decision, which under normal circumstances is always heeded, but Oklahoma cried so loudly that the entire conference committee met to rescind this action and give Tucker the privilege of competing after this semester. It just doesn't make sense!
LAYTON CLAIMS·HE'S NOT GUILTY
Paralleling the Tucker situation is another case leveled at Oklahoma athletics by Allen. In his speech of Tuesday he claimed that Lester Layton, formed Wichita North High School basketball and baseball star, was being sent through school by money furnished by the Boston Red Sox, professional baseball team of the American League.
A statement by Layton himself appeared Friday in The Oklahoma Daily in which he said, "If the Red Sox are paying me, they sure are behind on the payments. I'm not getting anything from them and I never have."
This, however, is a typical statement coming from an athlete who has been charged with professionalism while playing as an amateur. Perhaps it is the truth but thre have been too many cases in the past where an athlete has denied his guilt and then later found to be culpable.
Several reasons to doubt the validity of the story of Layton are present. One of these is found in Pete Lightner's column in The Wichita Eagle. "Of course Jap Haskell has in the past been connected directly or indirectly with Boston's Red Sox and made no bones about it. It was well known that when Herb Schreffler (all-conference basketball center in 1940 and the outstanding first baseman of the loop's baseball teams) went through O.U., the Red Sox had an "interest" in him.
SOMETHING FUNNY IS GOING ON
The same applies to Lester Layton, the former North High star who is quite a ball player as well as being a football and basketball ace. He isn't playing either of those sports at O.U. which friends say is part of an "educational agreement."
With these remarks coming from the sports editor of Layton's home town, it seems reasonable enough to believe that there is a certain basis for them. Furthermore, the present baseball coach at Oklahoma is Jack Baer, former Sooner baseball and football star, who became the property of the Boston Red Sox upon graduation and played in the Red Sox chain of teams for several years.
The thought that Baer might help in the search for baseball talent for the Red Sox with the latter in turn helping athletes through school by paying them advance salary or bonuses does not seem entirely foreign to the situation. This, with the evidence that director of athletics Jap Haskell is an acknowledged scout of the Boston team, leads a person to believe that there must be something to the situation.
Perhaps "Phog" is right when he says, "It might be well for an investigation committee to audit the expenditures of certain schools in the Big Six since sums of over $10,000 are listed as employment for student athletes."

would air some of the conference situations" and thinks that it "might be a healthy experience." "It might be well for an investigation committee to audit the expenditures of certain schools in the Big Six."
He adds, "I know for sure that Haskell was in Wichita two weeks ago—and it wasn't just to visit his brother. I would like to know how Haskell gets away with such things in the face of Big Six regulations. There are plenty of things down at Oklahoma that need airing, and I would like a showdown."
Allen maintained that his own sophomore basketball standout, Ray Evans, as well as Gerald Tucker, whose changing from Kansas State to Oklahoma has caused a Big Six eligibility furor, was dangled offers by Oklahoma.
Haskell Admits Nothing
Down Sooner way Haskell denied Allen's latest charges that Oklahoma was paying the expenses to the game "for their evaluation by Haskell" with a terse but all-inclusive "Hell no!"
Haskell asserted "I wouldn't say I didn't know they were coming. But it's certainly news to me that we're paying their expenses. I don't know who's paying for their trip."
