sports AS WE SEE IT By DON H. PIERCE
Basketball, kingpin of the winter sport's season, will make its final Midwestern fling on two fronts this weekend before bowing out of the picture until another year.
For come next Saturday night there will be but one important cage contest remaining to be played in the midlands; that the all-important N. C. A. A. finals to crown the king of collegiate basketball in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium, March 29.
Opening this afternoon in Emporia was the first annual Class AA state high school basketball tournament which will attract a select field of 16 clubs from all corners of Kansas.
On a two night stand in Kansas City Friday and Saturday will be the attractive Western N. C. A. A. playoffs which will bring together Washington State, champion of the Pacific slope; Arkansas, undefeated in Southwest conference play; Wyoming, Big Seven king, and Creighton which last night downed Iowa State, 57-48 to gain the Fifth District representativeness
Only clubs conceded a chance to carry off the high school bunting are Newton, new Ark Valley champ; El Dorado, only club to defeat the Railroaders this year; Hutchinson, which has extended the champions three times during this season, and Wyandotte, the powerful free-lance quintet which has swept aside almost everything in its path.
Bailey Rickett's smooth Parsons five, Southeast loop titlist, might shake sensational Dale Hall loose for an upset or two and Ark City, long a stronghold of not-potch bas-

Selecting all-star teams is more or less a fad. However, an all-star selection serves a purpose in that it rewards the players for their season's play.
Ye intramural reporter's only comment on his above selections, is that he has seen practically every intramural contest played this season, from the opener to the playoff finals. These choices are made from a sea- $ ^{ \textcircled{1}} $
son's play, numbering anywhere from 10 to 14 games for the respective players.
At least 10 high class players failed to make the all-star first or second team due to the high caliber of play of those who were placed ahead of them. The finalists, Phi Gamma Delta, and Newman I,
were awarded three positions each on the first and second teams. McSpadden A Repeater
Holding down the forward positions are Larry McSpadden, Phi Gam, and Joe Fournier, Newman I. McSpadden, a repeater from last year's first team, was a real "money" player, turning in two of (continued to page five)

Tony Coffin A Standout In Defeat
Phi Gamma Delta captured the intramural basketball championship for the second consecutive year, by defeating Newman I 31 to 25 in the last night's final game of the playoff series. In winning from the Newman's last night the Phi Gams made it two straight in the two out of three finals as the Newman's fell before the lads in purple Monday night 46 to 38.
A year ago, four of the five PS1 Gam's who took part in this year's playoffs, downed Alpha Kappa Psi in two games, 30 to 29 and 36-32, in the finals. The season record of the twice-crowned champs is identical to last year. Both years continued for more five.
