Hill Cue Artist To Billiard Meet
Lloyd Greene, junior engineer, will go to Madison, Wisconsin on March 22 where he will compete in the championship pocket billiard tournament sponsored by the Association of Student Unions.
Greene was high individual in the Western tournament when Kansas competed with Wyoming University, South Dakota State College, and Colorado State College. The tournament was held by wire under the supervision of Charles C. Peterson, billiard expert.
On the eve of the tournament Kansas had not thought of entering but when Peterson gave his exhibition here that evening, he urged Frank Eaton, business senior to enter a team in the contest. Eaton selected a team of five men since there was not time to hold an eliminator tournament. The five men selected were Joe Davison, sophomore engineer; Dick Powell, pharmacy freshman; John Laughlin, freshman engineer; Dick Burgess, business senior; and Greene. The team placed second with 300 points while Wyoming won first place with 301 points.
A straight rail billiard tournament and a three cushion billiard tournament will be held by the Association of Student Unions around March 25. The dates of these tournaments and the dates of elimination tournaments for each will be announced soon by the Memorial Union.

Newman's Tough Too
Joe Fournier and Ed Vandaveer, 5' 8" and 5' 11" respectively, are the two lads with scoring averages better than 13 points per game. Vandaveer starred in the playoff opener against the Sigma Chi's while Fournier was the standout in the Beta contest. Harry Luebbe, a 6' rebounding ace holds the pivot position. At the guard posts are Marv Vandaveer, Buccaneer star of '40, and Tony Coffin, who teamed with Fournier on the Galloping Ghosts last year. Coffin was a first team all-star selection in '39 and a second team choice in '40. Vandaveer and Coffin rate about 6' 1" apiece in height.

KANSAS STATE'S Jack Gardner already has begun beating the bushes for prospective Wildcat cage material . . . Last weekend, his first free one since the Aggies closed their season, he visited Topeka to view the Trojan-Ward tussle and this week he showed up at the regional tournament in Newton.

THE ANNUAL Madison Square Garden basketball tournament, which last year drew such collegiate worthies as Colorado and Oklahoma A. and M., is definitely taking a back seat this winter for the NCAA event, the Western half of which opens in Kansas City next weekend . . . To the Garden this year went such eastern clubs as Seton Hall, Rhode Island State, Ohio U. and Virginia, obviously not a select group . . . In the N.C.A.A. Western half championships will be Arkansas, Wyoming and the two playoff winners between Iowa State-Creighton, who will meet Tuesday night in K.C. and Washington State-Stanford . . . In the east it will be Dartmouth, North Carolina, winner of the Southern conference, Pitt, and powerful Wisconsin, new Big Ten champ.

and on contrasting colors so there would be no confusion in identifying his players. He also called attention to the fact that insofar as possible he tried to avoid having two men in the lineup at the same time whose numbers might cause the fans and sports writers any trouble. The last time there was any amount of mixup was when Joe Boyd and Ernie Pannell wore 64 and 54, respectively, and often one got credit for the other's good work
when only the last number could be seen. "We will number our starters to avoid that trouble next year," he added.
Another letter received by coach Norton from Lou Little, Columbia coach, and chairman, Coaches Rules Committee, asked that all members of the Football Coaches Association cooperate in adopting the recommended system.
So far as coach Norton knows, the matter has not been settled by any of the other Southwest Conference schools but he has hopes that the ther head coaches will follow his lead.
FAVORITES BEST
(continued from page four)
rough play, the Phi Gam's won their second playoff contest by nine points to move into the finals against Newman I. The first quarter was close with the score 10 to 8, Phi Gam's favor. During the second period, the Phi Gam defense tightened holding the Hellhounds to one field goal, a post shot by Presson Shane while Chain Healy tallied eight points for the Fijis. Half score was: Phi Gam 21, Hellhounds 11.
With Larry McSpadden, star Fiji forward, out during the third quarter the Hellhounds, led by Shane and Bob White, began to cash in on their helter-skelter ball, cutting the Phi Gam lead to 22 to 18. Valle Schloesser and Carl Unruh then fouled out, and with McSpadden back in, the Phi Gam attack began to function. Roscoe Hambric, Phi Gam, grabbed three one-handed shots in close unison to cinch the game in his team's favor.
Game stars were Healy and Hambric for the Phi Gam's and Shane and Bob White for the Hellhounds.
