Phi Psi's Lose 14-12 With Hodge; Pflashes Fall 12-0 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Beta's Tackle Phi Gam's
Mowery--Short Pace Beta's To Thrilling Win
In one of those games you read about but seldom see, a courageous Beta Theta Pi team rallied in the closing minutes of their semi-final playoff game yesterday afternoon, to edge out a fine Phi Kappa Psi eleven by a score of 14 to 12.
Six-man semi-finals struggles found the heretofore unbeaten Kappa Eta Kappa outfit falling before the Rock Chalk Co-op 13 to 6 and Alpha Chi Sigma downing the Blanks by a count of 13-7.
In the other eleven man contest, the defending champion Phi Gamma Delta eleven rang up an impressive 12 to 0 triumph over the Pflugerville Pflashes. As a result of yesterday's outcomes, the Phi Gam's will clash with the Beta's Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. for the 1941 championship.
By MIKE O'DONNELL
The Phi Psi's swung into action immediately after the opening kickoff and marched straight down the field for a touchdown. Bill Hodge, the game standout, picked up 10 and 12 yards on passes to "Buckshot" Thomas and John Hallberg. A 15-yard penalty on the Beta's helped, and two plays later Hodge riffled a bullet peg eight yards to Spike Robertson for the first score of the game.
Short a Star
A similar roughening penalty on the Psi Spi's, in the second quarter moved the ball in scoring position for the Beta's. Bill Mowery, stellar Beta passer, heaved a 25-yard aerial which his partner, Johnny Short, snagged for a touchdown. Tom Faulders put the Beta's ahead 7 to 6 with a placement. Rallying, Hodge threw another beautiful long pass for six points, this one flying to Jack Cadden to put the Psi's in front 12-7.
Fiji's Score Early
Taking the ball on their own 25-yard line with five minutes to play, Bill Mowery's tosses began to connect. First he hit Tom O'Neil, then Short, then O'Neil again, and then O'Neil for the third time in four plays 30-yards down the center of the field for a touchdown. Faulders booted the extra point which wasn't needed. Game stars were Beta's John Short, Bill Mowery, and Fred Ebechardt; Phi Psi's Bill Hodge, and John Hallberg.
Taking advantage of every opportunity, the Phi Gam's chalked up two early touchdowns to sew the game outcome up in the first half. John Couty fired a 20-yard pass to Chain Healy for the first Fiji score, and then Louis Reiderer recovered a blocked kick for the second Phi Gam tally.
Marshall Hullett scored two more touchdowns for the Phil Gam's which were not counted due to penalties called on the Fijis. In the final minute of the ball game, "Swede" Ol- (continued to page eight)
New Rules ★★★ Tucker Will Benefit--'Phog'
I
"The new basketball rules, particularly the change in the three-second restriction lane, will aid the tall, single post man more than anyone else," Dr. Forrest C. "Phog" Allen, varsity cage coach at the University, commented today. He added that Gerald Tucker of Oklahoma and other tall single post men will probably benefit greatly from the new three-second lane regulation.
Dr. Allen pointed out that the new regulations pertaining to this position were made because it was found last season that many high schools could not pass well enough to score against a zone defense without a pivot man in the free-throw circle. The present rule will allow a man to be in the half of the free throw circle farthest from the basket for any amount of time.
In summary form, the new rules provide:
1. The fan-shaped backboard has been adopted as the official backboard.
Rule Changes, 1941-42
2. The mcded type of ball is recommended because of its superiority to other types with respect to shape, reaction, and durability.
3. It is now legal to make a substitution whenever the ball is dead, even during the brief period following a field goal.
4. The procedure when a foul by one team is followed by a foul by the other team before time is in is clarified. In general, free throws are now attempted in the order that the fouls are called.
5. The three-seconds lane restriction applies only to that part of the free throw lane between the free throw line and the end line. If a player is touching the free throw line while the ball is in play and in control of his team he is subject to this restriction; but if he is touching the floor only in the outer half of the circle, with or without the ball, he is not subject to it.
6. Several acts of unsportsmanlike conduct are specifically listed and thme wording and listed and the wording and structure of certain penalty provisions have been slightly changed.
Fiji-Beta Battle Scheduled for 10:30 Tomorrow Morning
Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock, Beta Theta Pi will make an attempt to dethrone the titleholding Phi Gamma Delta eleven in the finals of the 1941 intramural football playoffs. The Beta's will rate as pre-game favorites by virtue of their more impressive starting line-up, although facts show that the Phi Gam's stand as a 50-50 choice.
The Beta's have won 6 games and lost 1, while the Phi Gam's are unbeaten, with 6 victories and 1 tie as their season record. The Beta's have the finest offensive record with a season total of 98 points against their opponents 31. The Phi Gam's have the best defensive mark, with only 13 points scored against them in seven contests. However, the Fiji's have run up a lesser point total of 74 to the Beta's 98.
Looking at comparative scores the two outfits rate about even.
Even On Comparisons
During the regular season, the Phi Gam's downed the Phi Psi's 2-0 on a safety. In yesterday's playoff round, the Beta's knocked off the Phi Psi's 14-12 in a thriller. The Beta's walloped the Pflugerville Pflashes 15-6 during their regular

WAA will hold a hockey and volleyball feed on December 11. The honorary varsity hockey and volleyball teams will be announced at this time and these girls are invited to the feed even if they are not members of WAA. Initiation will be held at this time for all girls who have earned 125 WAA points and have a C average.
Marge Rader, point system manager, has asked that all intramural managers give her a list of all girls who might be eligible so that she can make a more complete check. Special awards will be given at this time and any girl who has earned 600 WAA points will receive a Kansas University emblem.
Miss Hoover announced today that the entry blanks for the winter term activities are ready for the managers. The blanks must be returned to the intramural office before Thanksgiving vacation so that the drawings can be made.
