For the past three years, few announcers around the Big Eight have been as popular as KU's Monte Moore. He has been well-liked not only at the University of Kansas, but throughout the Middle West.
His style of announcing was well
Phi Gams, Betas Win Semi-Finals
Phi Gamma Delta and Beta Theta Pi advanced to the final round of the Fraternity "A" league play-offs last night on the basis of two decisive victories.
The Betas won their birth in the finals by routing Delta Upsilon 58-40. The winners were led by Bud Gollier, who hit 19 points and John Peterson with 12. Game scoring honors went to Kent Berkley who poured in 20 points to lead the DU cause.
The Phi Gams trimmed Alpha Tau Omega 63-52 to move into the championship round. Jim Husser led the winners assault with 18 points and shared game honors with Tom Holler who sparked the ATO attack.
The Phi Gams and the Betas meet Thursday night to decide the championship.
In Independent "A" action the Hawks downed the Losers 47-37 to move into the final round and the Bo-Jets defeated Battenfeld 47-39 to take the other championship berth.

NEW YORK — (UPI) — The 1911 New York Giants set the all-time major league record for thefts in one season by stealing 347 bases.
Monte has been signed as the sports director at the station, starting March 8 and will handle all of the sports shows during the summer while Merle Harmon is doing the broadcasts of the K. C. Athletics.
received by almost all the KU followers, and now it has extended to the directors at WDAF, a Kansas City radio and television station.
The Oklahoma University graduate started his broadcasting career in Lawton, Oklahoma. From there, he went to Hutchinson in 1955 and '56, for the past three years, he's been the voice of the Jayhawkers.
Moore told the Daily Kansan today, "These three years have been the most pleasant years of my life. I'm looking forward to my new job though because I feel it is a great opportunity."
The KU announcer will be doing, possibly, the "game of the year" tonight as the Jayhawkers tangle with K-State. Moore will continue his instructor's position at the University until the end of the semester.
When asked about the game tonight, Moore replied with a confident grin. "We have a real good chance of beating them if we shoot well. Man for man, I feel, we are a better ball club than Kansas State."
And who should know better than a man who has practically lived with the team for the past three seasons.

League Title at Stake
By Dan Felger
Forget the dopesheets, throw away last week's scorecards and hang on to your hats—it's Kansas and Kansas State again in a fight for the loop lead!
"We're stronger now than we were the first time we played them," said Coach Dick Harp, referring to the narrow Kansas victory two and a half weeks ago.
Over in the K-State camp, the Wildcats will be out to break back into the winning column after their loss to Nebraska, 70-60, Saturday night.
When the Jayhawkers and the Wildcats tangle tonight, Kansas will be seeking to sustain the effort that has lifted them from a dismal 2-3 season into a tie for first with a 7-3 mark.
When these old rivals clash at 7:30 tonight in Manhattan, it should be just another chapter in a long history of basketball wars. Should be—except for the fact that both cage giants of the Kaw like nothing better than to pound each other into submission and they can come up with superhuman efforts now and then to do just this.
As if this bitter rivalry isn't enough incentive to win, there's the issue of leadership in the Big Eight that has to be solved on the Ahearn Fieldhouse floor.

"Bill Bridges is playing his best ball of the season, and we seem to be getting the scoring punch out of the forward position opposite High-tower that was unproved before that first game."
Bridges was a Wildcat tamer in the first half of the K-State conquest that saw the Jayhawkers leave the floor with a 47-27 halftime bulge. He got 14 points in the first two stanzas, but managed only two points in the last half as Kansas State clawed its way back into the ball game, taking the lead with four minutes to play.
Kansas eventually went on to snatch the game from the 'Cats on Wayne Hightower's hook and Bridges' free throw with 15 seconds to go.
Against Colorado Bridges played what Harp called "Bill's finest game of the year" as the burly center horsed the boards for 17 rebounds and scored 18 points. Tonight the 6-6 veteran returns to the scene of his greatest game as a Jayhawk: last year at Manhattan when he outshone all-America Boozer by
scoring 28 points and grabbing 21 rebounds even though Kansas lost, 79-75.
