Phi Gams Top Hookers; Win Basketball Crown
Phi Gamma Delta defeated the Hookers, 34-27, in a low scoring rebounding battle to win the intramural basketball Hill championship Saturday in Robinson Annex.
The Hookers employed a tough 2-1-2 zone defense to hold John Peppercorn, the Phi Gam high scorer in previous games, to six points, all of which came in the first quarter. Jim Tierney, however, took up the slack and won game scoring honors with 12 points.
The game started out slowly with both teams using ball control tactics and waiting for good openings before taking their shots. The first three quarters proved to be a real defensive battle; seldom would either team get more than one shot at the basket. If they missed they lost possession.
Phi Gam controlled the opening tip and for a few minutes it looked as if they would run away with the game as Peppercorn hit three straight field goals. But the Hooker zone clamped down and held him scoreless for the remainder of the game.
In cracking the zone, Phi Gam used Pepercorn at the pivot and ran Tierney along the base line. When the Hooker defense pulled out to stop Pepercorn, Tierney was left open and was deadly with his jump shot.

The second quarter was an indication of things to come as the Hookers began to pepper away from the outside and Tierney hit his first shot from the baseline. With about two minutes left to play in the first half the Hookers had a 12-8 lead, but Wally Strauch stole the ball and dribbled the length of the court to make the score 12-10.
With only two seconds remaining in the half Tierney hit on both ends of a 1 and 1 opportunity to tie the score at halftime 12-12.
At the start of the third quarter the Hookers tried new tactics. They moved their big men outside and let guard Mo Corvelle play the pivot. The Phi Gam defense
started dropping off on him, however, and put a stop to this, but not before he had scored four points.
The most spectacular play of the game occurred midway in the third period when Fiji Bill Crank cleared a rebound, dribbled the length of the court, and with a beautiful bounce pass set Tierney up for an easy score. This made the score 18-17 in favor of Phi Gam and Tierney added two more with a set shot from the corner to make it 20-17 as the quarter ended.
Fiijis Score 8 Quick Points
The fourth quarter saw Tierney and Leo Meuer combine to give Phi Gam 8 consecutive points and a 28-17 lead before Bobby Robinson scored for the Hookers with a jump shot.
With three minutes and thirty seconds left in the game Phi Gam went into a stall and maintained their lead to the finish.
Phi Gamma Delta also won the B championship by running over Nu Sigma Nu, 69-39. Phi Gam grabbed a big lead at the start of the game and was never threatened.
The big gun for the winners was Don McNichols with 23 points. Ed Smith was high for Nu Sigma Nu with 14.
In the fraternity C league playoffs two Phi Gam teams fought it out with the C3 team beating the C1 team, 41-35.

Kansas Tankers In 57-28 Loss
The Jayhawkers won five of the eight individual events, but the lack of depth and two relay victories resulted in the wide Iowa State margin.
"We just didn't have enough strength to pick up those second and third places," Coach Chuck Edwards said. "We did do as well as I expected though."
The top Kansas performer was Dusty Milledge, who won the 440 and 220-yard freestyle races. Edwards was the meet's only other double winner, capturing both the 60 and 100-yard freestyle events.
