Betas to Play Hawks For IM Hill Crown
Morgan Metcalf sank a last second shot to give Beta Theta Pi a 47-46 victory over Phi Gamma Delta and the Fraternity "A" league championship in last night's title game.
With five seconds left, Metcalf shot from 25 feet out as the ball rimmed the basket and fell out. Karl Kreutiziger grabbed the rebound shot and missed. Metcalf grabbed off this rebound and dropped in the winning goal as the gun sounded.
The Betas jumped off to a 10-8 first quarter lead but the Phi Gams took over in the second quarter and led 21-19 at the end of the half.
As the second half opened, the Phi Gams looked as if they were going to make the game a romp as they built their lead to ten points and held it there during the third period.
In Independent A finals, Jim Ost-lind hit 17 points to pace the Hawks past the Bo-Jets 46-41. The Betas will meet the Hawks Monday night to determine the IM Hill champion.
Kreutziger led the Betas with 12 points but Dick Lee and Ken Welch shared game honors with 13 as they led the Phi Gam attack.
The Betas gradually cut the lead in the fourth quarter until with a minute and a half left they were down 46-40.
Then the Beta attack swung into high gear. Bud Gollier hit a free throw, seconds later Jim Jones stole the ball for the Betas and scored on the lay-up. Ken Welch of the Phi Gams was fouled and it looked like the Fiiis were back in the game.
Welch had hit 11 of 12 charity losses up to this point. Welch missed the free shot and Metcalf scored from the corner to bring the score to 46-45 with 30 seconds left or the clock.
Mike Clem missed a free throw for the Phi Gams and Gollier missed a chance to tie up the game when he missed a free one. Then Welch came to the line again and missed again, Les Nesmith nabbed the hbound for the winners and passed out to Metcalf to set up the series of plays that ended the game.
In other intramural action yesterday Jim Beam downed Botany 30-22 to take the Independent "C" championship and earn the right to play the Fraternity "C" champion for the Hill championship.
ta Tau Delta I 45-22 and on into the Fraternity "C" final round. Phi Gamma Delta I became the other finalist when it downed Phi Gamma Delta III 25-17. The winners meet today to decide the championship.
Beta Theta Pi walked over Del-
Phi Delta Theta edged Phi Gamma Delta 29-27 and Beta Theta Pi tipped Sigma Phi Epsilon to move into the Fraternity "B" championship game today. The Independent "B" championship will also be decided today when the Medies meet the Delta Functions. The Medies downed NROTC 37-24 and the Delta Functions edged the Hicks 26-24 in the semifinal round last night.

Barons Need Victory To Stay in Hockey Race
By United Press International
The Cleveland Barons, fighting for a playoff berth in the American Hockey League, entertain the Buffalo Bisons tonight in a crucial game for both teams.
The Barons currently are only one point back of the fourth place Provident Reds, who play the Rochester Americans tonight at Rochester. A Cleveland victory and a Providence defeat will boost the Barons into fourth place and leave them only three points back of third - place Buffalo.
Missouri has won nine of ten games in Columbia this year, losing only their conference opener to Kansas State. The Hawkers must win their remaining three conference games to remain in the running for the conference title.
The Jays own an eight game winning streak over Missouri. The Tigers have not beaten Kansas since the Old Big Seven became the Big Eight in 1958.
"Our scouting reports say that Missouri has improved a hundred per cent since we played them," Coach Dick Harp said.
"They used a double-pivot against Colorado Monday night, and Colorado just couldn't solve it."
Tidwell Leads Team
Kansas track hopes will need stellar performances by all members of the team. Charlie Tidwell, defending champion in the 60-yard dash and 60-yard low hurdles, and Curtis McClinton in the hurdles will shoulder much of the KU burden.
Kansas will be shooting for its 26th consecutive Big Eight cinder crown. The Hawkers haven't been beaten in conference meets in cross-country, outdoor and indoor track since 1951.
