Betas, The One Win Divisions; Meet for Hill Championship
Beta Theta Pi and The One were winners in the fraternity and independent divisions of the intramural basketball play-offs yesterday and will meet today for the Hill Championship.
The Betas defeated Phi Delta Theta, 52-44, to win the Fraternity A division while The One clobbered Ace Pearson, 62-29 in Independent A play.
THE BETAS jumped off to a commanding 10-1 lead, but the second quarter was all Phi Delt.
At halftime the clubs were tied 20-20 but the Betas pulled away in the second half to secure the win.
JACK SPOTT'S TRIGGERED a third period Beta rally with two
quick jump shots to put the Betas ahead, 24-20.
The game was never in doubt in the second half as the Betas dominated both the offensive and defensive boards.
BUD GOLLIER WAS high scorer for the Betas with 16 points and Bill Elstun led the Fhi Delt attack with 14 markers.
In the Independent A playoffs, it was an entirely different game. The One dominated the game from the start and easily ran over Ace Pearson 62-29 for the championship.
THE ONE HAD four scoring in double figures. Rich Johnson had 16, Nick Gangwich 13, Jim Poage 13, and Don Miller 12.
Other results in intramural play
were as follows: Fraternity B: SIGMA Nu 45, Triangle 16; Alpha Kappa Lambda won by forfeit over Acacia. Fraternity C games were all won on forfeit.

By Bill Sheldon
Kansas was humiliated last night at Manhattan.
In every phase of the game the Jayhawkers were outdone as they tried to stay atop the Big Eight conference race as the title chase comes into the home stretch.
EVERY PRAISE in the books is due the Kansas State Wildcats as they continually kept a capacity crowd on its feet, roaring with delight. But, first a look at the KU performance.
Only in the first six minutes were the Hawkers in any way effective. They looked as good as they have all season in smashing the K-State zone with precision play. But past that point Kansas looked like it was playing its first game of the year.
SLOPPY PASSING and poor ball-handling was a major cause in the Kansas defeat. As, the Wildcats moved ahead late in the first half the Hawks were completely at the mercy of their hosts.
After K-State moved ahead 33-31 the Jays lost the ball three times in a row on bad passes and the Cats took advantage to build a lead which was never to be challenged.
Frequent Kansas cross - court passes, a basketball taboo, fell into the hands of waiting K-State players and were quickly turned into baskets for the winners.
NOLEN ELLISON tried in vain to hit the hoop but missed all of his 12 field goal attempts, something which a team cannot do and still expect to win.
Jerry Gardner was guilty of many passing and dribbling errors, especially late in the game and the Wildcats were quick to capitalize.
WAYNE HIGHTOWER and Bill Bridges were fairly well contained while the game was still in question and Kansas, without its two scorers hitting, was left to flounder in its own mistakes.
K-State's Ced Price and Larry Comley outhustled the KU board busters to set up quick striking fast breaks while Dave Nelson tallied from the outside to make the KU defense look lackadaisical.
AS A TEAM the Jayhawkers were totally ineffective both offensively and defensively.
Defensively the Jays couldn't handle the varied attack of K-State which featured both inside and long range scoring, especially in the second half.
The Kansas offensive patterns never jelled, leaving the burden of the scoring on occasional fast breaks and outside shooting.
BEING BEATEN on the boards, which hasn't happened very often this season, the Hawkers were without the insurance of extra shots.
PRIOR TO THE game there was considerable doubt among the KU players that K-State deserved to be ranked among the nation's top 10 teams. It's doubtful this feeling remains.
Certainly the Kansas performance was embarrassing, but Kansas State won on hustle and determination.
Relying mainly on team aggressiveness and poise the Wildcats charged back from a slow start to prove their ability.
Today's schedule consists of all Fraternity B division games. They are as follows: Phi Kappa Tau vs. Pi Kappa Alpha, 4:15; Kappa Alpha Psi vs. Kappa Sigma, 4:15; Sigma Phi Epsilon vs. Alpha Kappa Lambda, 5:00; Alpha Phi Alpha vs. Sigma Alpha Epsilon, 5:00; Delta Upsilon vs. Acacia, 5:45.
KANSAS WAS MAKING mistakes, but it took the hustle of the Cats to take advantage nearly every time to win so convincingly.
Almost every time there was a loose ball, a fight for a rebound on a race for the basket the Wildcats came out winners.
The ball seemed to find its way into the arms of the white-clad winners as though that was the only path it could take.
The best way to summarize last night's action was a mentally and physically superior team taking advantage of nearly every error which a frustrated and desire lacking opponent made.
NIT Bound Demons Win
United Press International
United Press International Selectors of the NIT are moaning that all the good teams are getting away, but today they can score one in their "friendly" rivalry with the NCAA tournament.
DePaul, which has already accepted a bid to compete in the National Invitation Tournament at New York's Madison Square Garden, defeated NCAA-bound Louisville for the second time this season, 75-67. Wednesday night.
The NIT disappointed at the decision of both St. John's and St. Bonaventure to go NCAA this year, received a further boost from the slim college basketball schedule of last night when Dayton romped over arch-rival Xavier of Cincinnati, 94-71. The Flyers, also committed to the New York tournament, boosted their record to 17-6 with the victory.
DePaul raised its season's record to 14-7 while Louisville dropped its sixth game against 18 victories. In other games Wednesday, Maryland beat Virginia, 77-62; Arkansas toppled Texas Christian, 96-76; Florida edged Florida State, 75-74; and Canisius whipped Syracuse, 83-78.
