There will be those who will disagree with the 1940 Intramural all-star teams here selected. Take them for what they are worth. The writer's only claim to the validity of these players as all-stars is that he has witnessed nearly every basketball game played in intramurals this year. The players were chosen for their combined playing efforts during the regular schedule and the playoffs.
Glancing over the front line men, Co-capt. Harold Johnson, A. K. Psi, and Larry McSpadden, Phi Gam, were close to being tops. Johnson, 6 feet, 5 inches, the man who gathered 53 points in one game, is one of the greatest point-getters in intramural history. His average during the regular season was slightly over 17 points a game. In the first three playoff games with McKinley, Ed Hall, and Healy guarding him on successive nights, he gathered only six points per game but was outstanding in floor play. McSpadden Hard to Stop
McSpadden was probably the hardest man to stop in intramurals when the pressure was applied. He is a polished performer and high scorer for the Phi Gam powerhouse. Hambric, McSpadden's running mate; Bourne and Vandaveer, ace Buccaneers: Domingo, Comets; and Stoland, Beta, were the closest rivals for all-star honors at forward.
The center, Eugene Funk, was the quarterback of the A.K.Psi five and listed at the pivot position in his team's lineup. An uncanny shot, superb dribler, and skillful ball handler, Funk made up for lack in height by fight and fine play. McKinley, Phi Delt, was awarded the second team post over such worthy rivals as Ulrich, Buccaneers; Long, Phi Gam; and Westerhaus, Galloping Ghosts, because of his value to his team.
Healy The Best Guard
Co-capt, Chain Healy, Phi Gam, was the class of all the guards and close to being the best all-around performer in intramurals. Healy was the key man of the Phi Gam five, the player without a noticeable flaw. Excellent rebounder, good ball handler, and an accurate shotmaker averaging eight points a contest. Healy exhibited his splendid defensive ability in holding Bill Hall, Sig Alph to one goal and Johnson to two.
Bill Hall, Sig Alph, had a tight battle to win his position over such standouts as Ed Hall, Delta Chi; Arbuckle, Phi Psi; Coffin and Fournier,
Galloping Ghosts. Hall was a great long shot artist and one of the clearest of all cagers in his defensive work. Ed Hall's early season play cost him the first team post he held last year while Coffin's lack of scoring hurt his chances.
Second Battle In Cage Playoff Tomorrow Night
The second game of the intramural basketball playoff between the Phi Gam's and the A. K. Psi's will get underway tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in Robinson gymnasium.
The Phi Gam's won the first game, 30 to 29, and can become the champions by winning tomorrow night. If the Businessmen win, a third game will be played Tuesday night to determine the winner.
The battle for the "C" team title between the Phi Delt's and the Phi Psi's will be played a 7 o'clock tomorrow night instead of 8 as was formerly scheduled.
The West is going to have four red-hot teams in the semifinals of the N.C.A.A.affair to be held in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium Friday and Saturday nights.
Besides this district's representative, which was settled last night at Oklahoma City and which you are all familiar with, here are some cold facts on the other three teams in the running.
Southern California has won 19 and lost 2; averaged $48\frac{1}{2}$ points per game; held its opponents to 36 points a contest; and the starting five has only man over 6 feet. Dale Sears, the center, is 6 feet 2 inches.
Rice Institute has won 21, and lost 3; averaged 55 points a game; held its opponents to an average of 42; and has two men over six feet. Levi Craddock, forward and captain, is

Glenn Races Finnish Star At Two Miles
The Jayhawkers may not have the best team in the field, but Coach Bill Hargiss will have the most men on hand when track stars from this sector gather in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium tomorrow night for the Missouri Valley A.A.U. invitational meet.
Proceeds will go to the Finnish relief fund and to make matters even several of the outstanding runners will be going after one of the Finns. Munski and Mehl in Race
In the feature race of the evening such domestic products as Glenn Cunningham, Walter Mehl, and John Munski will be trying to keep up with Taisto Maki, the Finnish runner who is barnstorming his way around the country, running anything from a mile up.

No Outfield Worries
If baseball coach Mike Gotto had only his outfield to worry about he would be a much happier man today. He must build a new infield this year, but in the outer-garden there is a wealth of experienced material.
By Charles Skidmore, c'41
Getto was much impressed with the hustle displayed by his men. With Knute Kresie, "Red" Dugan, and Larry Smith, a newcomer from
the East, tossing them in from the mound, a long hitting session was conducted Friday. Dugan looks ready for a good season, and Kresie, a sophomore, is improving daily. Given support from the field Knute should do a good job of hand-cuffing Big Six sluggers. Smith, who pitched and played third for Exeter, an eastern "pep" school last year, was out for the first time Friday. Battle for Outfield Berths
In the outfield there will be a battle for the three positions between at least six good players. Miller Cameron, speedy football back and a sophomore, will be a strong contender for one of the outfield posts. He spent last summer in the outfield for a team in Wichita. Larry Hensley, one of the three returning members of last year's team should be a good bet
