Fletcher Gives Beta's Tight Win Over Chi's
By CLINT KANAGA
John Fletcher, substitute Beta forward, turned a seemingly lost cause into a victory last night, as he led the Beta Theta Pi basketeers to a 21-19 win over Sigma Chi, the sixth Beta win in as many starts. Friday night the unbeaten Betas will tangle with the defending champion Phi Gams in what should be the most exciting intramural battle of the season.
Fletcher, who didn't even get to play in the first half, proceeded to take the game outcome under his personal guidance during the final period. "Fletch" got under way by knotting the score at 11-all in the opening minute of the second half on a two-handed shot down center. However, from that moment until the last five minutes, the Sigma Chis dominated the play.
Hver Gets Hot
Bill Hyer, stellar Sigma Chi forward, broke the Betas fighting spirit with three "unanny" goals and added a free toss, to give his team an 18-12 lead. Fletcher then stepped into high gear, netting two free throws, and passing off to teammate Altman who sank a beautiful side shot. Three minutes remained, and the Sigma Chis led 18-16. Fletcher fired in two more long looping goals, putting the Betas ahead 20-19 and O'Neill cinched the game with a charity toss in the closing seconds.
Hyer, Hartman, and Eidson performed brilliantly for a game Sigma Chi outfit while Pierce's rebounding and Altman's all-around play aided Fletcher considerably.
Delta Chi's Roll On
Delta Chi chalked up its sixth straight triumph to retain its leadership in Division I, defeating Carruth Hall 26 to 24. The Chis moved in front at halftime 14-10 and managed to hold its lead until the end of the contest. High scorers were Patty, Carruth, with 11 points, and Callow, Delta Chi, 10 points. Kappa Sig "B"
Kansas Still Club To Beat In Loop Race
A familiar figure—the Kansas Jayhawk—leads the field as Big Six basketball teams move past the half way mark and get ready for the final drive to the pennant.
Although Kansas has played fewer conference games than any other Big Six team, the Jayhawks must be looked upon as the team to beat, from force of habit. Eight times in the last ten years, Dr. F. C. Allen's teams have won or tie dfor the league championship.
Kansas' 44-38 victory over Nebraska ended the first round of play for the Jayhawks. All the five other conference schools must be met again now—Oklahoma and Kansas State on the court at Lawrence and Nebraska, Iowa State and Missouri away from home.
Pacing the Jayhawk offense in the first round was Howard Engleman, All-American forward. The blond scoring ace rolled in 102 points, for an average of 20.4 points a game.
Main help for Engleman in the scoring department has come from Bob Allen, senior center. Allen has averaged 10.8 markers a game, in addition to playing a great all-round game.
Engleman Average to 20.4
Most encouraging aspect of the
victory over Nebraska was the improved rebound work by the Jayhawks. Up against the tallest team in the league, Kansas more than held its own under the basket.
Playing a starring role on offensive rebounds once more was T. P. Hunter, lanky forward. Hunter kept the Jayhawks in the ball game during the first half with his work off the backboards and his three field goals. The Oklahoma boy is developing into a very valuable regular.
More than a week will elapse before the K.U. quintet returns to action in Big Six competition. That game will put the Jayhawks up against their old rivals, the Missouri Tigers, at Columbia, Feb. 21.
Meet A. & M. Mondav
turned back Battenfield "B" 15 to 14 in the evening's final game. Box score:
In the meantime, however, Kansas has a highly important engagement with Oklahoma A. & M. at Stillwater, Monday. The Jayhawks will be out for revenge in that game, having been beaten at Stillwater the past two years.
BETA THETA PI (21)
Monday's game will be the third and final appearance on the A. & M. floor of Engleman, Allen and John Kline and the "Three Musketeers" mean to make it an occasion to remember.

WEIGHT COUNTS----
(continued from page four) K.U. Frosh Are Massive
The freshmen demonstrated vividly to the varsity last week just what weight can mean. Although the upperclassmen finally won 38-37 in two overtime periods, they were bounced all over the court by the yearlings in scrambles for the ball and in batting for rebounds.
Three 190 pounders and two men scaling in at 180 make up the starting freshman lineup. The heavier trio consists of Charles Black, forward, Kansas City, Mo.; Jack Ballard, center, Kansas City, Mo.; and Don Ettinger, Independence, Mo., guard.
The 180 pounders are Ray Evans and Paul Turner, both of Kansas City, Kan. All of these men, with the single exception of Ballard, played football in high school.
Actually A Contact Sport
"Theoretically, basketball is not a contact sport," says Dr. Allen. "But anyone who has ever seen a game knows differently. Particularly is this true around the basket.
"Weight is played up strong in the doppe on football games and I would like to see height and weight given equal consideration in similar ratings in basketball."
