Phi Psi's sank only one free throw in Tuesday's closest intramural basketball contest in which they defeated A.T.O. 27 to 25. The lone Phi Psi charity toss was put in by tall John Hallberg late in the first half. Scoring was neck and neck all the way in this even contest, with A.T.O. Dick Webb leading the
individual scoring with a total of 13 points.
The Newman I delegation showed power in a 41 to 16 defeat of a D.U. five. Newman led 28 to 8 at the half, then continued scoring in the last two periods to chalk up a 25-point margin. Junius Penny played his usual good game at guard, and in addition led Newman scoring with 11 points.
"Baby" Newcomer, Phi Delt coach and forward flash, led his team with 17 points in a 54 to 15 victory over Sigma Nu. Phi Delt's opened up a scoring barrage early in the game, and led at the half 26 to 9. Bill Walker, freshman guard, was instrumental in keeping the ball out of Sigma Nu hands, and in addition chalked up 12 tallies for his team.
In the only "B" team game of the day, A.T.O. "B" easily overran Sigma Nu "B" 30 to 13. The contest was a slow one, and was marred by numerous fools; the A.T.O. delegation was reduced to three men because of losses via the foul route.
The basketball game last night between the Alpha Chis and the Chi Omegas was quite onesided. The Chi O's won 19-3. Dorothy Brand played a good game for the Alpha Chi team but the Chi Omega's led 13-1 at the half and continued piling up their score until the end of the game. Donna Burkhead and Ann Hoffman were outstanding players for the Chi Omega's.
The ETC forfeited their game to the TNT. Monday afternoon Corbin Hall defeated Alpha Delta Pi 3-0 in table tennis.
JAYHAWKERS RUN---decided to discontinue the conference sports of baseball, tennis, golf and swimming. Inter-school contests will be substituted for the discontinued sports.

and Rich Reich were the next best scorers the Sooners offered, each tallying five points.
Defensive standouts of the game were the Jayhawker guards, Marvin Sollenberger and Ray Evans. Although neither scored a field goal offensively, they saved many a point for the Kansans by their blocking of shots and passes and their making the "down-center" portion of the court impregnable.
First Half Proves Close
Miller and Black wasted no time in getting their sights trained on the Oklahoma basket as they split the first eight Kansas points which were scored by the nine-minute mark. In that same time the Sooners were held to one field goal.
Midway in the first half the Sooners had added five free throws to their lone basket but Black and Buescher were not idle and had extended the lead to 12 to 7.
Buescher kept the Kansans comfortably ahead by sinking three baskets in the next seven minutes with Black coming in for two more of his "swing an' swish" shots. Roberts had his hot streak during this period to sing three goals in five minutes and not let the Sooners lose sight of the high-flying Jayhawks who led 26 to 20 at half-time.
Reds Advance;
Japs Near Singapore
By UNITED PRESS
The Red army offensive surged forward at both ends of the eastern front today but in the Far East the Japanese hammered a path ever closer to Singapore.
In Malaya, Japanese armored units suffered heavy losses in crashing attacks on the British defense line but Singapore dispatches acknowledged that the enemy had forced further imperial withdrawals in the area some 170 to 200 miles north of the naval base.
The British apparently were putting up a terrific fight for the key communications and industrial town of Kuala Lampur but dispatches indicated that the strongest defense line eventually would be formed somewhere south of that point.
In the Philippines, the Tokyo broadcast claimed that "mopping up" operations were in progress against the American defenses in Bataan peninsula but there still was no definite indication that the enemy had made important progress against the fighting men of Gen. Douglas MacArthur.
MacArthur's forces apparently held most or all of Bataan province and part of Zambales, although the Tokyo radio claimed that the Japanese had penetrated northern Bataan. Washington expected an early "all out" enemy assault on the American positions, which have been under heavy Japanese aerial bombardment from Subic bay in Zambales to the island of Corregidor at the entrance to Manila bay
Nebraska Stalls To Gain Victory Over K-Aggies
A last half drive by Kansas State carried the Wildcats near a victory over the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the closing minutes at Lincoln last night but the Huskers stalled to win the season's Big Six opener for them, 44 to 38.
After the Wildcats opened the scoring the Huskers returned to tie the count and later took a wide lead which the K-State cagers never overcame. Sid Held, guard, was high scorer of the game with 13 points and led the Husker attack throughout the game. The Wildcats were paced by Forward Bruce Holman who scored eight points.

Six Eskimoes Volunteer for Army in Alaska
Anchorage, Alaska—(UP)—Six Es-kimo rookies in the United States Army's Alaskan forces enjoy military life despite their aversion for "Women's work" on the kitchen police detail.
The Army thinks they'll make top flight soldiers.
The six youths left their Arctic homes near Point Barrow& about Dec. 1 to join the Army. They adjusted themselves speedily to their new way of life.
"The officers and non-coms are too good to us," said Pvt. Lloyd Ahawaka, one of the rookies. "It seemed hard at first to be in a place like this, but we're adjusting fast. Kitchen police duty is tough—but everybody's doing it."
Fraser hall was opened for classes in 1872.
Ahhavana's companions are Pvts. Isaac Taalach (so to be Corp. Isaac Taalach), Clifford Mongoyuk, Edeie Hopson, Hoover Koonalook and Bartlett Kudvalak.
