N.C.A.A. Comment
By Larry Winn
Well, we've done it again, yes sir; old Kansas has again fought her way to the position of fame in the world of basketball.
The always fighting Jayhawkers have again come into their own by winning the western play-offs of the N.C.A.A. last Saturday night in Kansas City. Hats off to a great little team that has not gained its fame the easy way, but defeated Oklahoma, Oklahoma A. and M., Rice, and then Southern California to make its challenge for the national N.C.A.A. title. The N.C.A.A. is the officially recognized championship play of the major colleges of the United States.
The big question on the Hill for the next few days is going to be the familiar cry, "Where can I get two good tickets to the basketball game Saturday night?"
Flash—"A hint to the wise is sufficient"—there are no more good tickets, but you stragglers may be able to get a few seats behind the goals at University athletic office or Carls. Scalipers are already beginning to sell their valuables, but there is a slight possibility that you can get a ticket from one of them for a reasonable price . . . DR. ALLEN DOES NOT HAVE ANY TICKETS.
Your commentator took in both games in Kansas City, Friday and Saturday nights, and was proud to stand up with the nine other press men that arose when the Kansas Alma Mater was played. Over half of the spectators enjoyed the same song on their feet, showing that K.U. and its graduates are certainly basketball minded.

in the Jayhawker victory, but this column would like to mention a few "unsung heroes" of the two-night feature. First, a word of praise for Bruce Voran, who put everything but a step-ladder on Dale Sears, Trojan center, to stop him cold during the time that small
Six Teams Tie In Swim Meet Preliminaries
By Tom Higgins, b'40
Water splashed high yesterday afternoon as the first half of the preliminaries of the men's intramural swimming meet was completed. Although the original plans were to run the entire preliminaries off yesterday, this was impossible due to the large numbers of entries from the independent teams and fraternities.
At the end of the first day's competition six teams: Phi Kappa Psi, Galloping Dominoes, Bea Thea Pi, Phi Delta Theta, Phi Gamma Delta, and Sigma Chi were tied for first place on the basis of competition points alone. The Galloping Dominoes are in the best position to cop the title, at the present time having qualified seven men and a relay team for the semi-finals. Kappa Sigma is the next with four qualifiers for further competition.
Most times were only average but this is doubledless to the act that few good entrants were really pressed to win and also in part to the short practice period permitted after the basketball playoffs and the Easter holidays.
Dr. Ed Elibel said today that the second half of the meet would probably be held next Monday, April 1 and the semi-finals as soon after that as the conditions will permit. Summaries:
300 yd. Medley Relay (Two qualify for semi-finals): First heat: Delta Upsilon and Phi Delt; second heat: Phi Psi and Beta; third heat: Sigma Chi and Galloping Dominoes. Best Time—Sigma Chi 3:15.1 seconds.
50 yd. Breast Stroke (Winners of each heat to semi-finals): first heat; Tholen, Phi Delt, second heat: Carlos deJanon, Kappa Sigma, third heat; Smith, Sigma Phi Epsilon, fourth heat: Gades, Delta Upsilon, fifth heat: Voelger, Kappa Sigma, sixth heat: StancLIfe, Phi Gam, seventh heat: Mackey, Galloping Dominoes, eighth heat: Dalton, Galloping Dominoes. Best Time, Mackey, Galloping Dominoes, 36.4 seconds.
100 yd. Free Style (Winners qualifiers qualify to semi-finals): first heat: Black, Delta Tau Delta, second heat: Bliss, Galloping Dominoes, third heat: Moses, Phi Delta Theta, fourth heat: Banks, Beta Theta Pi, fifth heat: Maier, Galloping Dominoes, sixth heat: Lillard, Beta, seventh heat: Mackey, Galloping Dominoes, eighth heat: Hartman, Phi Gamma Delta. Best time, Maier 1:4.4.
Next, as Winchell would say, an orchid to John Kline, who seldom breaks into the scoring column, but is one of the best rebound men on "Phog's" team. Johnny was "kneed" in the back early in the second half of the Trojan tilt, but he came back later to show the spectators that he wasn't going to let a little All-American like Ralph Vaughan keep him down.
50 yd. Back Stroke (Winners qualify to semi-finals): first heat: Jones, Galloping Dominoes, second heat: Holt, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, third
