M.S.C. Considers One-Hour Course In Orientation
The tentative plan for a one hour orientation course for entering freshmen moved closer to becoming a reality at the meeting of the Men's Student Council in the Pine room of the Memorial Union building Monday night.
Bill Farmer, president of the Council, reported favorable comment by University authorities on the orientation course, which is part of a larger plan that includes the establishment of a joint student-faculty committee to hear complaints on present courses, criticisms of faculty actions, and agitation for new courses.
In discussing the proposed orientation plan, Farmer said, "This credit hour course would be invaluable to all freshmen and would do much to promote a more basic understanding of what the University offers. It would help create better relations and vitiate criticism between the faculty and the students."
The committee appointed to study the possibilities of such a course presented a tentative outline of topics and lecturers, and it was decided to recommend the plan to the University Senate.
A motion to establish a lost and found bureau, probably to be located in the book exchange, was passed and referred to the W.S.G.A. for further action.
Eugene Ricketts reported that Willis Fankhauser and Marion Haynes have been declared eligible to keep their seats on the Council, but there are two other members whose eligibility is still undetermined.
Ricketts, in charge of the committee on constitutional revision, said that he has collected all bills passed by the Council during the last two years and could make a definite report on his findings at the next meeting. He mentioned that Bill 20, regarding the apportionment of the activity fee, has been made meaningless by $v$ recent action of the Board of Regents changing the amount and distribution of this fee. Because of this a motion was passed to revise Bill 20 and all other bills superseded by University action.
The Council discussed plans for participation in the University High School Day, Dandelion Day, and the tree planting ceremony for the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration. Paul Yankey, was placed in charge of the Council's contribution to the Dandelion Day carnival, and $10 was appropriated for this purpose.
ketball, could conceivably usurp its way into the semifinals, but both is unlikely.
AS WE SEE IT---hand goal shooting. Johnny Dewell, brother of S. M. U.'s Billy, is a better-than-average forward with Don Toevs, another regular of last year, at the other front line slot. All four men were on a club good enough last year to cop third place in the state meet.
(continued from page four) As usual Newton will present a five cylindered basketball machine, this year hubbed by two senior stars, guard Jimmy Nebergall and center Bill McCloud, brother of the famed Leason, Big Seven scoring king.
Nebergall was voted as the most valuable player in the Ark Valley league this winter while the burly McCloud gained fame thru plenty of high class rebounding and left-
Bluejays Sweep Over Iowa State
Creighton's fast-breaking Bluejays sped past Iowa State 57-48 last night in Kansas City's Auditorium court to qualify as representative from the fifth district in the National Collegiate Athletic association western finals.
Creighton meets Washington State, Pacific Coast champion, at Kansas City Friday night while Wyoming, Big Seven title holder, faces Arkansas the same evening. The winners of these two games play Saturday night to determine the champion of the western half of the United States. March 29, the western champion will meet the eastern winner in Kansas City for the national title.
Dale DeKoster, swarthy little Cyclone guard, scored 18 points for high point honors, while Ed Beisser, Bluejay sophomore, followed with 16 tallies.
Creighton opened with a rush, and at one time in the first half owned an 18-7 lead, but the Cyclones whittled the margin to 26-21 by half time.
DeKoster and Gordon Nicholas tied the score at 26-all early in the second period, and a fierce dogfight ensured for the next few minutes, with neither team able to gain a commanding lead.
Then Dick Nolan, former Ward High School cager, fired in five quick field goals, to give Creighton a 48-35 edge. From that time on, the Creighton subs managed to match Iowa State's baskets and were still clicking as the final gun sounded.
Hutchinson will place their main hope in big Guy Mitchell, who captured the scoring championship of the Valley this year. Walt Quiring and Jim Gear are others who are capable of A-1 performances.
Spurring an El Dorado Bulldog to the title will rest for the most part on the shoulders of flashy Harold McSpadden, brother of Larry, who was named captain of this year's all-Valley selection. Barr, Swengle and Shank, three big boys, will do the rebounding and ball handling.
The task of shattering Ark Valley tournament domination will fall to Wyandotte, ever a menacing threat for the championship. This year the scarlet-clad Bulldogs will depend upon a pair of high-scoring forwards instead of a guard of the Bill Hahn or Ray Evans caliber to lead them to the fore. The lads are Mike Vargon and Kenny Thompson, both of whom should rank near the top of the heap when the tournament honor roll is read Saturday night. The powerful dogs have slaughtered their last three opponents Olathe, Lawrence, and Shawnee-Mission by scores of 33-6, 30-16, and 41-14, and can conceivably be seen in the finals.
Favored in what should be a torrid N. C. A. A. affair will be Arkansas' giant Razorbacks. Only team to defeat the Porkers this year has been the equally towering Phillips 66 outfit, defending National A. A. U. champions who accomplished the feat successfully twice in three
games. The Southerners feature in Johnny Adams a forward hot enough to carry off the conference scoring crown and will trot out a lineup averaging six feet four inches in height.
If the Pigs should slip Washington State is considered next most likely to represent the western half against the east March 29.
The Cougars boast two all-Coast selections in Paul Lindeman, six-foot seven-inch pivot, and Ray Sundquist, senior guard. Dale Gentry, a hard-driving sentinel, and Vern Butts, a forward, were rated good enough for second team berths.
The huskies from Pullman gained the west coast representative post by handing brilliant Stanford two consecutive defeats in the annual North-South division playoffs last weekend.
Not to be underrated when the choice foursome opens fires in K. C. are Creighton's incredible Blue-jays, one of the fastest breaking teams in the country.
In forwards Brownie Jaquay and captain Don Fleming and center Ed Beisser, the Jays have a scoring machine gun, which seldom fails to total at least 45 points. Beisser also is considered one of the top-notch rebounders of the Midwest.
Add to this trio Dick Nolan, a sensational guard, and Haldeman, a steady-playing running mate, and you may have an upset-bound aggregation.
Wyoming is a virtually unknown quantity, but the fact that the Cowboys were good enough to wave their brown and yellow colors over Frosty Cox's Colorado Buffaloes all season is mute warning in itself.
FINALISTS DOMINATE---was the finest defensive guard in intramurals, besides backboning a good Newman I team. Coffin held Hyer, Sigma Chi 10-point man to two free throws, and in the second game of the finals blanketed Healy completely.
The eastern representative, which also will be crowned Saturday in Madison, Wisconsin, will be chosen from Wisconsin, Big Ten champ, Dartmouth, Ivy League master; North Carolina, winners of the Southeastern loop, and Pittsburgh.
(continued from page four) his best performances against the Newman's. McSpadden also topped the scorers in Division II with an average of 12.9 per game. Fournier, scoring champion of Division III with an average of 14.5, was equally impressive in the playoffs.
Second team posts went to the sparkplug of the Beta's attack, Bill Geiger, and to Ed Vandaveer, Fournier's running mate on the Newmma club. Consistency in allaround play for the whole season gave Geiger and Vandaveer the forward berths over Hambric, Phi Gam second team selection in '40, Maiden of Newman II, Hyer of Sigma Chi, and Hodge, Phi Psi.
Van Hartman, Sigma Chi, finished ahead of Shane, Hellhound; Ulrich, Teke; and Altman, Beta, in the all-star ratings due to exceptional team play and "clutch" scoring ability.
The captaincy and pivot post goes to versatile Chain Healy who performed at all positions with equal brilliance. Healy, who shared the co-captaincy of last year's all-star with Harold Johnson, had no equal this season. Averaging better than 11 points in 14 contests, Healy also rated as intramurals No. 1 rebounder, a fine floor man, and excellent on defense.
Back-line standouts are numerous, yet choosing the first team guards, Tony Coffin, Newman I, and Jim Sealey, Phi Psi, was easy as both stood head and shoulders above their nearest rivals. Coffin
No Question About Guards
Sealey, the Phi Psi one-man gang, was a top-notcher on a fair ball club. A good rebounder and crack long shot artist. Seeley had no peer in ball-handling. Harold Long, defensive star and ace passer of the Phi Gam's, teams with Walt Sheridan, the Sig Alpha's high scorer, at the second team posts. Closest competitors were Engle, Pi K.A.; Pierce, Beta; Hinshaw, Phi Gam; and M. Vandaveer, Newman I.
PHI GAMS NIP---the Fiji's finished with 13 wins and one loss, a total of 26 victories in the last 28 games.
Roscoe Hambric, Phi Gam, opened the scoring by hitting a setup in the first 10 seconds of play. Fournier, Newman, gathered a free toss, followed by teammate Coffin's long one-hander to move ahead 3 to 2. Fiji's McSpadden and Hinshaw regained the lead with short shots but the Vandaveers, Ed and Marv, gathered five points between them as the first quarter ended with Newman in front 8 to 6.
Newman's Surge Ahead
Hambric and Long of the defending champs, rallied with two beautiful one-handers only to have Fournier knot the score at 10-all with a tip-in. Long put the Phi Gam's ahead with another one-handed shot, with Hinshaw adding a charity toss. Fournier swished a post shot and McSpadden tossed a pair of free throws to bring the halftime score of 15 to 12 in the Phi Gam's favor.
Olson, Fiji sub, opened the second half with a free throw, only to have the Newman's offset it with a five point scoring spurt which put them in front, 17 to 16. Hinshaw, one of the outstanding men of the

playoffs, retaliated with a difficult overhead shot, but Fournier came back with a scoop to put the Newman's on the long end of a 19-18 third quarter score.
A free toss by Hinshaw, followed by a setup by McSpadden put the Fijis ahead by two points. Coffin, Newman guard, sank a two-handed push shot to tie the count at 21-all. The purple scourge then proceeded to go on one of their famous scoring sprees with Hambric, McSpadden, and then Hambric again, sinking goals in rapid succession. Coffin the Standout
Coffin the Standout
Newman I, down but not out, produced their final bid of the game, with Fournier and Ed Vandaveer tallying goals to bring the score to 27-25. However, Long and Hinshaw came back with goals to cinch the Fiji's their second straight intramural cage title.
Top laurels of the game should go to Tony Coffin, the Newman's great guard, who turned in the top defensive performance of the year by holding Phi Gam's Chain Healy scoreless. Up until last night's goose eggs, Healy had never failed, in 13 contests to score more than eight points.
Other game stars were Long and Hambric, Phi Gam's, and the Vandaveer brothers, Ed and Marv, for the Newman's.
A Division Playoff
In a division title playoff, Phi Psi earned the right to meet the Sig Alph's for the division I cup by winning easily from Delta Chi 40 to 20. Bill Hodge and Jim Sealey called the Phi Psi scoring with 12 and 9 points respectively. The Sig Alph-Phi Psi battle is scheduled to take place Thursday night. Earlier in the season, the Phi Psi's downed the Sig Alph's 21 to 17.
