Betas in Playoff Berth Following 51-27 Victory
Beta Theta Pi gained a berth in the Fraternity "A" League playoffs after it won the Division I championship by trouncing Tau Kappa Epsilon 51-27 last night.
The Betas not only took advantage of a decided height advantage but also capitalized on Teke mistakes and cold shooting. Both teams displayed well-executed offenses, but the stuff defense thrown up by the Betas stalled the Teke attack for all but the first few moments of the game.
The game opened with both teams playing ragged balll but the Beta's height and heads-up defense soon pulled them ahead to stay. The Teke's patterns were stopped cold and they began having trouble finding the bucket.
With two minutes of the game gone the Eeta team went ahead and added to their lead until the quarter ended with it leading 7-3.
The Betas continued building their lead in the second quarter as the winner's rebounding power and defense took control of the game. The half ended with the victors leading 19-9.
Karl Kreutziger broke the game open as the second half started. He broke up a Teke pass and drove the length of the floor for a lay-up, then seconds later he again broke loose for a lay-up and the rout was on. Kreutziger scored on a tip-in and Morgan Metcalf began hitting from outside to stabilize the attack.
Even though these two started the rout, it was Bud Gollier and John Peterson who grabbed off game scoring honors with 11 points apiece. Peterson and Gollier also led in rebounds and were big factors in the Beta defense. Peterson blocked four shots and Gollier blocked three.
After the opening minutes of the second half, the Betas walked to the victory and the championship. Larry Soper paced the Tekes with eight points; hitting six in the first half but succumbed to the Beta defense in the second half hitting only two.
In other Fraternity "A" games Phi Kappa Psi won by forfeit from Pi Kappa Alpha and Triangle edged by Kappa Sigma 34-32. John Rupf led Triangle to the victory with 16 points while Dick Webster led the losers with 14.
Phi Gamma Delta romped to a 47-16 victory over Sigma Phi Epsilon in the other only "A" game. The Fhi Gans displayed a well balanced attack with five players doing all the scoring. Mike Clem led the scoring for the victors with 11 points. He was closely followed by John Pepperson and Jim Husser with 10 points apiece. The scoring was rounded out by Ken Welch and Dick Lee who had eight points apiece.
The victory put the Phi Gams into the playoffs for the Fraternity "A" Championships.
