Fierce Tilts Loom On I-M Front
By CLINT KANAGA
With final exams and re-enrollment past history, the last half of the 1940-41 intramural basketball season will get under way on Monday, Feb. 10. The final stretch drive promises to be as exciting as any in intramural annals.
Loss of key players will tend to make the race for playoff berths more open in all of the divisions. Delta Chi, leader of Division I will not miss Wenstrand and Hall until the playoffs. Four of their five remaining?
games are easy. Their toughest remaining contest is against the Sig Alphs, Feb. 14. Takes Foeo Touch Grind
Tekes Face Tough Grind
Other feature games in Division I are Teke-Phi Delt Feb. 13, Teke-A.K. Psi Feb. 17, Phi Psi-Teke Feb. 24, and Sig Alph-Carruth Feb. 26.
Things will really hum in Division II this semester. Beta Theta Pi at present holds a rather insecure grip on the leadership of this division. Littiooy, Geiger, and Co. will have their hands full for the remainder of the season, especially the next 10 days.
The Betas open against Sigma Chi, one-point conquerors of the Phi Gams, Feb. 11. After this tough one, they tangle with the defending champion Phi Gam's Feb. 14. This game will decide the championship of the division if the Sigma Chi's do not upset the Beta's earlier in the week. Following these two "breathers," the Beta's encounter a tough Pi K.A. five Feb. 19. The Pi K.A.'s set the high scoring mark of the year, tallying 64 points against Battenfeld hall. The Pi K.A.'s also gave the Sigma Chi their only defeat of the year.
Little Trouble for Newman's
The Phi Gam's, Sigma Chi's, and Pi K.A. outfits have plenty to worry about, in addition to their respective battles with the Beta's. Prethrillers in this division at a guess are the Sig Ep-Sigma Chi game Feb. 15, Pi K. A.-Sig Ep contest Feb. 26, and the Kappa Eta Kappa-Kappa Sig battle March 6.
Newman I should win its remaining games without apparent trouble. Four games left for the prospective title-holders of Division III are the Dodgers Feb. 13, Jayhawk Co-op Feb. 19, Dunakin I Feb. 21, closing the season with a tough one against the second-place Hellhounds March 3.
'B' Slate Tough Too
Newman II, the other undefeated squad in this division has five engagement, with the Ohio Mountain Boys, Ichabods, Caballeros, Dead
End Kids, and the Mississippi Meeteors. The Caballero-Newman II game Feb. 25 should be rated a tossup as Blair and McGrew, Cabelleros, will be hard to bottle up. “B”队 basketball will match the “A” teams in interesting contests. Division IV with the Beta's, Phi Gam's, and Phi Psi's topping the list, promises at least two standout games. These are on March 1 when Phi Psi “B” clashes with Beta “B” and Delta Chi “B” opposes Phi Gam “B”. The championship of Division V will be decided when the unbeaten Phi Delt "B" meets the once-beaten Sigma Chi "B" on Feb. 15.
Clutchs Win . . .
T. P. HUNTER
Hero in the Varsity's Friday night double overtime conquest of a stellar freshman club was T. P. Hunter, who's last minute bucket from mid-court gave the oldsters a hard-earned 38-37 triumph.
After a three months layoff, Jayhawk footballers will return to the gridiron March 3, with the beginning of spring practice.
Spring Grid Drills To Open March 3
No formal call has yet been issued, but some athletes are already working out on the indoor track under: neath the stadium. Early training will consist largely of calisthenics and starting practice.
As only the varsity squad has spring practice, the coaching staff will be bolstered by Wayne Replogle, freshman coach. Replogle replaced Mike Getto, now with the Brooklyn Dodgers professional football team, this fall.
Ineligibility took few freshman football players, and a larger spring squad than usual is expected.
HUNTER'S LAST—
(continued from page four)
fitful battle which saw the Varsity lose the services of their ace scorer, Howard Engleman, seven minutes before the final gun.
Evans, Black Star
Outstanding in defeat were smooth-gliding Ray Evans, the freshman's stellar guard, who held the blond Ark Citian to six points, and Big Charie Black, who's superb rebounding and eight point last half scoring blast kept the Frosh close or ahead throughout.
Bobby Allen whose 13 points gave him scoring honors for the evening and hard-driving Vance Hall, who dumped in eight tallies and displayed a fine floor game, accompanied Hunter in the Varsity starring role.
The two teams ended the regulation playing time deadlocked at 31-31, after the Varsity stalled for the last minute and Bobby Allen's potential game-winning hook shot had skidded off the Varsity hoop.
Big Jack Ballard, the freshman's
six-foot six inch center, who paced Greene scoring with 10 points, drew first blood for the Frosh in the initial overtime by converting John Kline's fourthoul into a free throw for a 32-13 lead. But Vance Hall came back for the Varsity, making his second charity try good on Ray Evans' fourth infraction. This was the extent of the scoring as the first overtime period ended.
Allen opened the second overture with a twisting righthander, but
Ballard countered a moment later with a tip-in. After Norman Saneman muffed a set-up for the Varsity, forward Paul Turner hooked a short right-hander from close-in and the Freshmen were sporting a 36-34队.
But black-haired Bobby kept the Varsity in the game with a cool two-hander from far out with only a minute remaining. Phillips then made good his free throw and Hum-(continued to page eight)

considering baseball, in which he has had some experience, because of the appointment of Allen as baseball coach.
PROOF FOR the doubters that Kansas is not a one-man basketball team can be supplied by taking a glance at the Varsity-Freshman game box score which shows Howard Engleman 14 points below his conference average with a total of only three goals, but the Varsity on the top end of a 38-37 count. . . . The Jayhawkers played 17 minutes without their blond shot-making wizard and although the victory required two overtimes, Bob Allen, T.P.Hunter, et al, showed that they could pull through against high caliber opposition.
GONE FROM Hill intramurals forever is colorful Winford Ferry, for three years czar of two mighty independent athletic machines, who will leave next week for a job in Wichita. . . Ferry, who founded the famed Galloping Dominoes three years ago, piloted his charges to a pair of runner-up positions before taking over the joint leadership of the organization with Steve Karnowski this year under the banner of the Newman club.
