Fiji's Crush Beta's 54-26;Sig Alph's Chi's, PiKA's Win
By CLINT KANAGA
Pouring in baskets from every angle, the defending champion Phi Gam's fast break literally tore a supposedly tough Beta Theta Pi defense apart, winning by the incredible score of 54 to 26. Before Friday night's defeat at the hands of the Phi Gams, the Betas had achieved a string of six consecutive intramural victories.
McSpadden and Chain Healy, Phi Gam scorers, couldn't miss the hoop, and when they did, teammates Hambric and Bergner took up the slack Healy and McSpadden gathered 21 and 15 points respectively. For the first five minutes the score was fairly close, but with Harold Long, ace Phi Gam ball handler, setting up Healy and McSpadden with accurate passes, the Fiji powerhouse built up an impress-*
sive halftime lead of 31-12. Only Bob O'Neil and Don Pierce could find the basket for the Betas.
Sigma Chi swung back on the victory path Saturday, downing Sigma Phi Epsilon by a one-sided margin of 42 to 19. The Sig Eps were minus the services of Fisher, Kresie, and Hayden, all regular performers. High scorers for the Sigma Chi's were Hyer and King, with 8 and 7 field goals, respectively.
Knocking the Phi Delt's out of any playoff chances they might have had, Alpha Kappa Psi won by a score of 25-17 with C. Gibbens, Lebsac, and Huddleston, sharing in the glory. Lindman, Phi Delt guard, stood out for the losers.
Psi's Dump Phi Delt's
With Ray Blair and Bill McGrew trying to eclipse the two-man Newman Club scoring feat of last Thursday, the Cabelleros humiliated the Ohio Mountain Boys 55-19. Blair tallied 27 points to tie the high mark of the year, set by Ed Vandaveer, Newman Club, last week, while McGrew dropped in 18 points to take care of runner-up honors.
Walt Sheridan hung up 10 goals and 5 free throws to pace the Sig Alph's to a 38 to 17 win over Delt Chi Friday night. It was the first Delta Chi loss in seven games. With Wenstrand, Hall and Zimmerman absent from the line-up, the Delta Chi's never had a chance.
Pi K.A.'s To Top
Pi Kappa Alpha moved into a first place tie with the Beta's and Phi Gam's in division II by slaughtering the Kappa Sig's 38 to 11. The scoring was well distributed with Atwell, Price, Hamilton, and Engel, all scoring at least eight points each.
Hall, Kappa Sig, tallied 9 of his team's 11 points.
The Ramblers nosed out the Dead End Kids 12 to 10 in a game that was disallowed due to the fact that both teams used players under assumed names.
Beta "B" remained in first place in division IV by winning from the heretofore unbeaten Phi Gam "B" 34 to 19. Stars in the Beta attack were Hartley, Pierce, Morris, and Robinson.
Stars of the Week
PAGE FIVE
Ray Blair, Cabellero—Tied the 27-point mark of Ed Vandaveer by hitting the hoop for a similar total in the Caballero-Ohio Mountain Boys contest.
Bill Hyer, Sigma Chi—Was the star player of two games this week, performing at his best in the Beta and Sig Ep contests. In the Beta game his one-handed shots nearly upset the division II pacesets while the Sig Ep's felt his skill in this respect three days later as he rang up eight field goals.
Chuck Hunter, Phi Delt—Led the Phi Delt's in their upset victory over the Tekes 19-17. Hunter, in addition to swishing 4 goals, held Ulrich, high scorer of the Tekes, to five points.
Walt Sheridan, Sig Alph—Makes this column by cracking the twenty figure for the second time this season, with 25 points in the Sig Alph's 38-17 win over the Delta Chi's.
Intramural
Rex Shaw, Kappa Sig—Fired in a long shot to defeat the Sig Eps 29-28 in the closing minute of the contest.
John Pattie, Carruth Hall—Played exceptionally well in his team's 2-point loss at the hands of the Delta Chi. Pattie was high scorer of the contest with 5 baskets and one charity toss.
Chain Healy and Larry McSpadden, Phi Gam's—Led the Phi Gam's to an impressive 54-26 win over the Beta's. Healy scored 21 points and McSpadden 15. Healy also turned in a splendid defensive job, holding Geiger, dangerous Beta scorer, well under control.
Ed Vandaveer and Joe Fournier.
Newman 1-Vandaveer set the individual high scoring mark for the year with 27 tallies against the Ichabods while Fournier aided Ed with 23 counters.
John Fletcher and Don Pierce. Beta's—Fletcher won the Sigma Chi game 21-19 when he put on an 8-point scoring spurt in the final half while Pierce turned in a brilliant all-around game against the Phi Gam's rebounding well and carrying away the high point honors on his team.
(continued from page four) where basketball is king, is the only Big Six school not having a field house of respectable proportions—or proportions at all.
Jayhawk Swimmers Lose To Big Six Champions
The beautiful Coliseum at Nebraska seats 7,500; Oklahoma's arena will hold 6,500, and Missouri's 6,000. Iowa State, which already has a passable field house, is almost certain to have plans for a new armory accepted within the school year.
Leon Bergren, who graduated in January will leave Kansas City, Mo., soon for Schnected where he has obtained a position as an en-
tpreneur.
Bill Mackie gave University swimmers their only first place as defending Big Six champions, Iowa State, swept through a dual meet, 61-23, in Robinson gymnasium pool yesterday afternoon.
Except for Mackie's first place in the 220 yard free style, the Cyclones made a clean sweep of the meet. It was Iowa State's second meet in two days. Kan-*
Except for Mackie's first pla Cyclones made a clean sweep of second meet in two days, Kansas State upsetting them 40-44. Friday afternoon Jayhawk tanksters were edged out 43 to 41 in the local pool by the University of Oklahoma. Joe Mortan, Dan LaShelle and Paul White turned in first places for Kansas, in their second loss to the Sooners in two weeks.

house here is the Jayhawkers' terrific basketball drawing power. If room would permit there is no doubt that crowds of eight and ten thousand people would attend the more important Kansas contests with Big Six foes.

any size, is only 40 and 28 miles respectively.
Last Monday when the Allenmen met Nebraska in an important conference tiff, a capacity crowd was on hand and more persons would have attended could they have been sure of getting tickets. The house is already sold out for the Kansas-Oklahoma game here March 7.
And these crowds are not uncommon. Such a situation has existed for years.
Another reason is that the Hoch auditorium boards are not well constructed for basketball playing, being directly underlain by cement. A hard rough and tumble game victimizes members of both teams in the form of bruises and shin splints. Further bodily harm can and has come from exposure suffered by perspiring players forced to make the trek from Hoch to the dressing quarters in Robinson.
Finally, if the state wants to keep in time with the National defense program it could make no better move than to erect an expansive field house atop Mount Oread.
But if we can't have a field house it is certain that a little more intracschool consideration would aid a respected, prestige-building Kansas basketball club. A club, that although they almost annually carry off the Big Six court bunting, have enough trouble with conference rivals without having to buck schedule changes and jumbled practice sessions.
