Tonight at 7:30 o'clock, the Phi Gams will attempt to cinch the intramural cage championship in their second game with Newman I. Last night's opening game found the Phi Gams victors by a score of 46 to 38. In the "C" title contest, Phi Delta Theta "C" downed Beta Theta Pi "C" 17 to 11. If the Newman
outfit should win tonight, a third game will be played Wednesday.
McSpadden Sinks Four
McSpadden moved at top speed during the second period, swishing four goals as halftime found the Phi Gams ahead, 22 te 16. During this quarter, Joe Fourner and Cliff Nordstrom. Newmans, paced their team's offense with two baskets apiece. Healy aided McSpadden with two one-hand jump shots.
By the end of the third quarter the Phi Gams had built up a nine-point lead, the score being 34 to 25. Mc-

Spadden continued his pree, tallying seven in eight minutes. Nordstrom fired in long one-hand shots to keep his team in the ball game.
Pull Away in Fourth
Healy, Hinshaw, and Hambric netted goals in rapid succession in the fourth quarter to put the game on ice, with a 40 to 26 score. Coffin and Nordstrom led a Newman rally which cut the score to 41-35, but Healy, Long, and McSpadden scooped in five more points and Nordstrom's final bucket found the Fijis ahead 46 to 38.
Game stars were numerous. Cliff Nordstrom's brilliant shooting and Tony Coffin's matching of Chain Healy goal for goal were the top Newman performances.
Larry McSpadden was the game standout, exhibiting fine all-around play in addition to top scoring honors. Healy's rebounding and Hinshaw's finest performance of the year were other highlights of the game.
Marvin Thompson, college freshman, who suffered severe burns several weeks ago, is recovering nicely.
Ex-Cagers Star In Commerce Win
Howard Engleman, John Kline, and Dick Harp, former Jayhawker basketball stars, were just about the whole show as the College of Commerce team, from Kansas City rolled over Douglas, Wyo., 52-17 in the National A.A.U. basketball championships in Denver, Sunday night.
"Rope" was up to his old tricks by dumping in nine field goals and a free throw for a total of 19 points and high scoring honors. Harp and Kline, playing at the guard positions, rolled in nine and six points respectively.
I-State, Jays Clash Tonight
Victor Goes To Western NCAA Meet
This will be Harris first taste of competition this year, although he has worked out with the Jayhawk track squad since last fall. Munski has been running in eastern indoor meets, but has not fared too well in "big time." Munski failed to win an indoor mile in his eastern jaunts, but usually was well up in the running.
Earlier in the season, Harris, Big Six 2-mile champion, circled the indoor track underneath the stadium in a 4:18 mile, and last Wednesday as a final warning that he can't be counted out in Kansas City, he

His 4:18 mile ties Cunningham's track record, and his last Wednesday's half is more than a second below the Big Six indoor record set on the boards at Kansas City several weeks ago. His fastest mile came two years ago when he circled the track at the Drake Relays in 4:14.
Place: Municipal Auditorium, Kansas City, Mo.
Officials: Ted O'Sullivan (Missouri). Ab Hinsbush (Emporia).

But neither Munski or Harris are favorites to win the invitation mile in a field which includes Walter Mehl, 1,500 meter champion and Raybon Gordon, Missouri Valley conference mile champion competing for Washington University, St. Louis. Mehl, the Wisconsin ace, is given top rating to finish in what should be a thrilling race.

Shoot-when-sure tactics will be Iowa State's game against the firehouse style of the Bluejays. Both teams have found their styles pro (continued to page five)
Mehl Is Favored, But--- Harris-Munski Feud Will Flare Again at AAU
An old feud that blazed through three years of varsity competition, will be renewed when Ray Harris, last year's Jayhawk co-captain, meets "Lonesome John" Munski, Big Six mile champion from Missouri, in a special mile at the A.A.U. indoor track and field meet March 24 in Kansas City.
Harris holds a slight edge over Munski in indoor competition. "Lone John" finished ahead of Harris indoors when they were both sophomores, but in his junior year, the lean Kansan won both the Butler Relays mile, and the Big Six indoor mile.
Kansan Holds Slight Edge.
Besides Harris, varsity track coach, Bill Hargiss, will take a sizeable squad to the A.A.U. meet. Bob Stoland, who suffered a pulled muscle in the Big Six indoor, is not expected to be ready for the meet, but will wait for the outdoor season to reenter competition.
In addition to individual performers Hargiss plans to enter both a mile and a two mile relay team. Dick Edwards, Don Thompson, Al Poznick, and Harris will probably comprise the two mile relay.
Kansas entries will run unattached.

ED HALL
If interest and enthusiasm is any indication, Kansas baseball hopes are on the upswing.
With what is probably the largest squad in Jayhawk baseball history, Forrest C. "Phog" Allen is beginning his "rebuilding process." More than 50 have checked out equipment, and nearly 40 reported for practice yesterday.
"All positions are open," said Phog," in accounting for the large number reporting. The recently-appointed baseball mentor was pleased with the interest and enthusiasm shown by candidates.
Spirit Buoys Baseball Hopes
But from last year's squad of 26, Allen has only five regulars reporting. "Baseball talent here has run out through lack of interest, and we will have to start from the beginning in building a team in time for the first game," the coach said.
Batting practice and running bases was included in yesterday's hard work-out. "Phog" and Frank Bu-

Six Frosh Named To Relay Post
The names of six freshmen members of the student committee in charge of the Kansas Relays, April 19-20, were announced yesterday by Ernest Klema, senior manager of the track carnival. They are R. J. Atkinson and George Phillips, engineers, and Bob Coleman, W. C. Hartley, Garland Landrith, and John W. Wood, from the college.
The student committee will prepare invitations to send to high schools and colleges. Stickers advertising the Relays have arrived and will be distributed in the near future.
Four sophomores, Byron Kern, John Tilson, Dick Chubb and Chuck Elliott return from last year's committee. In addition four juniors, Clint Kanaga, Bob Woodward, Fred Robertson, and Bob Eidson will be working on the committee for their third year.
Louisiana State Normal c college players call Josh Briley, their six-foot, nine-inch center, "Ozone."
