Simonizing SportS BY JAY SIMON
Oklahoma's Hugh Ford looks like he's going to be as hard to stop as one of Henry's old model Ts. He bagged 19 points against Missouri last night at Wichita after getting 10 on the Jayhawks in the regular season's finale at Norman last Friday.
A great big bouquet to Don Boydston of Oklahoma A. and M.'s O'Collegian. He showed 'em that sports writers are good for something besides making bump predictions when he high jumped 6 feet 7 inches (correct) in the annual varsity-freshman meet last weekend. Don will be here to jump at the Kansas relays.
And while on the subject, I might mention that every defending champion in the field events will be on hand to defend his laurels when the relays get underway April 20. Beefus Bryan, the Texas showman, will be trying to raise the record in the pole vault for the third straight year.
Despite the fact it lost the Ark Valley title to Hutchinson, lost in the regional to Ark City, and isn't going red hot righ now, my choice to win the state high school basketball title is Winfield, the defending champion.
Having seen but one high school basketball game this year, I feel that I can choose an all-state team without the least bit of prejudice creeping into the selection. Here it is: Hall, Parsons and Mitchell, Hutchinson, forwards; Tucker, Winfield, center; and Evans, Wyandotte and Weddle, Winfield, guards.

Beta's Give Ghosts Tussle; Phi Gam's Win
By Clint Kanaga, c'42
The championship playoffs got under way with a bang last night. All favorites came through as expected. The defending champion, Galloping Ghosts, had a tough time downing a fine Beta Theta Pi outfit, 35 to 27, after a slow first half. Phi Gamma Delta turned back Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 35 to 22, in a hard fought contest.
Phi Delta Theta fell before a "hot" Alpha Kappa Fsi, led by "Red" Thompson, with a score of 23 to 32. Rebounds proved the deciding factor in the Delta Chi's 27 to 17 victory over the Dominoes I. Stoland Paces Beta's
Paced by Bob Stoland, the Beta's moved out in front of the Ghosts at the end of the first half 17 to 14. Kelly, the Ghost's manager, switched his ace guard, Coffin, on to Stoland during the second half and the Ghosts went on to win Fournier and Shupe were outstanding offensive players for the winners while Littioy and Stoland starred for the Beta's.
Chain Healy held Bill Hall, star Sig Alph guard, to one goal as the Phi Gam's won from the Sig Alph's. The Sig Alph five led the Phi Gam's during the first quarter due to the splendid play of Dick Amerine. Amerine gathered 10 points in the first half. Hambric and Morris hit the hoop consistently in the final quarter to give the Fijis a commanding lead which they never relinquished.
Late Rally Falls Short
A last half rally engineered by Kern and McKinley wasn't enough for the Phi Delt's who, with four minutes to play, trailed the A.K. Pai's 23 to 26. Thompson went wild, hitting one-handers from everywhere as McKinley bottled up Johnson, intramural's high score.
The Delta Chi's were never pressed in triumphing over the Dominoes I. Given a good start by Hall and Burton, the Delta Chi's improved their lead to 13 to 9 at haltime, and increased their margin to 10 points as the game ended.

Through Playoffs
One of the most widely followed sports extravaganzas of the winter season, the state high school basketball tournament, gets under way tomorrow afternoon at 1 o'clock in the Topeka High School gymnasium.
State Cage Tournament Gets Under Way Tomorrow
The tournament will present a classy crop of interscholastic leaguers. Such stars as Gerald Tucker of Rayfield, Ray Evans of Wyandotte, Guy Mitchell of Hutchinson and Dale Hall of Parsons rank with the greats of Kansas high school basketball.
Four games will be played tomorrow afternoon and four more will follow in the evening. Feature attraction of the afternoon schedule is the game which brings together Winfield and Shawnee Mission.
Winfield is the defending champion and lost only one man from the team that won the title last year. Shawnee Mission boasts its finest team in history.
Winfield Defending Champ
On the evening program are three games which are considered tossups and a fourth game which may be closer than expected. Salina vs. Ward, Emporia vs. St. Joseph's of Hays and Parsons vs. Dodge City, all should be battles down to the final gun.
Wyandotte, victorious in 26 straight games, should beat Colby in the other night game, but may run into more trouble than expected.

Westminster Choir To Sing 'Gallig'
This pre-Easter Motet, composed by Gounod, is one of the better compositions of this type. It takes approximately 20 minutes to be presented.
As a special Easter program, the Westminster A Capella choir, directed by Dean D. M. Swarthout, will sing "Gallia," at 6 p.m. to tomorrow over radio station KFKU.
Meribah Moore, associate professor of voice, will sing the soprano solo part. Accompanists will be Laurel Everett Anderson, professor of organ, at the organ console and Ruth Orcutt, associate professor of piano, at the piano.
Hutchinson, the Ark Valley champion, has moved into the role of tournament favorite recently. The Salthawks have their best offense in years and their usual iron-ribbed defense.
Two sets of brothers comprise four-fifths of the Hutchinson team. Guy and Roy Mitchell are as fine a pair of ball players as the state has seen in recent years. Both are 6 feet 3 inches tall, crack shots and clever ball handlers. Guy is only a junior.
The remainder of the team consists of the Love brothers, Kenneth and Doc, and "Pug" Harrison. Kenneth Love is an exceptional ball handler and is valuable as a "feeder." Harrison is a fine all-around guard.
Expected to reach the semi-finals with Hutchinson are Wyandotte, which would then play the Salthawks, and Winfield and Newton in the upper bracket. The winner of the Hutchinson-Wyandotte game should go on to the championship.
Ford Keeps Going---
HUGH FORD
Hugh Ford, the 6 foot 6 inch Oklahoma who caused the Jayhawkers no end of trouble at Norman last Friday night, was the ringleader against Missouri last night at Wichita as the Sooners earned the right to play Kansas tonight.
Table Tennis Team Loses First Match
Woodworth, Topeka city champion and the state's second rank player, took his singles match easily, and then carried the Topeka doubles team to a four-game decision in the deciding match of the contest.
The Kansas table tennis team lost its opening engagement of the season Sunday as Cecil Woodworth lead the Topeka Table Tennis association to victory, 3 to 2. The matches were played in the Kansas room of the Memorial Union building.
Against Woodworth, Kansas' Warren Shupe uncorked his power shots to capture the first game but the Topekan outsteadied the young Jayhawkey to sweep three straight games. The scores were 18-21, 21-13, 21-11, and 21-12.
Perry Petterson, Kansas No. 2 player, dropped his match with Glen Murray, youthful visitor, in straight games, 21-17 and 21-17.
Only victories for the Mt. Oread team were contributed by Jay Martin, No. 4 player, and Malcolm Black, the third ranking Jayhawker. Martin edged cut Bill McPeak of Topeka, 18-21, 21-17 and 21-19, the closes match of the afternoon Black had little trouble winning in straight games, 21-10 and 21-19.
