Phi Gams Drub Sammies
To Op
en Title Defense
. . . SAE's Tip ZBTs
BY GENE SHERMAN.
Class "A" intramural basketball
got off to a flying start last
Thursday evening with eight
games being played on the three
coliseum courts.
Phi Gamma Delta, defending
class "A" champs, started a suc
cessful defense of the crown by
easily drubbing an inexperienced
SAM quintet 33-11.
The Fiji's, by virtue of shutting
ut the Sammies for the first half
of play, demonstrated that they
can be expected to use an air
tight defense if the occasion ever
demands. The half-time score
was 10-0 in favor of the Phi Gams.
During the second half the Phi
Gams did away with the defense
tactics and started to display a
smooth working offense. With
Don Andreson and Jester hitting
consistently, the Phi Gams rolled
up 23 markers during the last 12
minutes of the game.
Jester with 12 and Andreson
with 11 were the point-getters for
the champions, while Bob Chand
ler netted five of the Sammy
points.
SAE-23; 2BT-7.
Tn the second league one game
of the evening, the Sig Alphs had
an easy time in downing the ZBT's
23-7.
For the first half of the game,
the Zebes kept on the heels of the
SAE'S only to tire during the
final half. The Sig Alphs led 10-4
at the intermission.
"Red" McLuhan registered five
goals from the field with one
gratis toss to lead the winners
with 11 points. Bob Fromkin and
Lon Stien scored all of the ZBT
points between them.
Delts-17; Delta Sigs-7.
The final league one game of
the evening found the Delts run
ring over the Delta Sigs 17-7.
Al Bloom, member of last year's
T incoln High team, paced the win
ners with six markers.
Betas-12; Beta Sigs-3.
With Bill Arnot and Justin
Boigcr scoring all but one point
between them, Beta Theta Pi, last
season's runnerups, easily stopped
the Beta Sigs 12-3
Docmier was the only Beta Sig
to gather a field goal against the
Beta Defense.
Kappa Siqma-20; Alphi Sigs-5
Jim Gutschovv hit the basket for
rine markers as the Kappa Sigs
rolled over the Alpha Sigs 20-5.
Foy and Graham each had two
points for the losers.
ATO-23; Phi Psi-12.
Don James collected 10 points,
and Jim Nicola eight to lead the
ATO's to a 23-12 win over the Phi
Psi's. Coyne was high man for
the losers with six points.
DU-17; Theta XI-8.
The DU's joined the Kappa Sigs
in the number one spot of league
four by defeating the Theta Xis
17-8. D. Kratz was high for the
winners with six markers.
Xi Psi Phi-17; Sigma Nu-11.
Featured by the play of Wal
lace and Brown, an underdog Xi
Psi Phi team upset a potentially
strong Sig Nu five 17-11. Brown
was high for the winners with six
points, while Stan Maley counted
the same numoer for the Sigma
Nu's.

Uncle Sam Call
Threatens Jays
LAWRENCE, Kas., Feb. 6.
With army demands drawing
closer, the "Iron Man" crew of
the University of Kansas saw its
last action as a unit Saturday
night when the Jayhawks tangle
with the Iowa State Cyclones at
Lawrence.
Four of the starting five are
either in the Air Corps or Enlist
ed Reserve of the Army and are
subject to immediate call. But
that isn't where Coach "Phog"
Allen's troubles stop. Of the 16
men on the varsity squad, 11 of
them are in those two army
branches, leaving just five players
to carry on in a basketball way
for Kansas.
Because of this fact, Allen broke
away from his habit of using his
"Iron Man" crew throughout a
game by substituting liberally in
the" Olathe Clippers game Wed
nesday night. Most important of
the substitutes arc the Navy en
listees, Harold McSpadden, Max
Kissell. Paul Turner, and Bill
Forsyth.
The Jayhawks are still recuper
ating from their hectic weekend
in Kansas City which saw them
defeat the Olathe Clippers and
lose to the Great Lakes Sailors.
Both results can be charged di
rectly to the free throw line.
Against Olathe the Jayhawkers
converted 15 out of 19 charity
tosses to establish their margin
of victory. The next night, how'
ever, only 9 out of 20 were put
through the hoop successfully and
the six-point loss was the effect.
Next Jayhawk foe is the Ne
braska Cornhusker comoine.
Prof. Ed Weir is moanin' low and no fooling. That wan
look on the track mentor's countenance couldn't be an act, nor
can there be reason for any argument about the causes and
genuineness thereof.
If ever a cinder humpty-dumpty sat on a wall its the cur
rent Scarlet cinder edition. Last four Husker outdoor track ag
gregations, as keenly-balanced set of crews as ever inhaled the
aroma of arnica and adhesive, have overwhelmed all Big Six
opposition. Latest three Weir indoor squads also emerged all-
victorious in league warfare.
Gone are the Littlers, the Hunts, the Cmms, the Smutzs
that gallant company who brought such a complete revision of
the record boards facing the bleachers under the stadium.
Departed via the scholastic axe is lanky Ralph King,
Smutz's shadow and toughest league competition for two terms.
King's inactivity leaves a gaping hole in the hurdling depart
ment that must be filled by Les Christian, Al Zikmund's cousin
and a likeable timber prospect.
Vic (Atlas) Schleich is still available m the weight depart
ment and should again wage a two-way duel for loop shot su
premacy with J. Elmer (just call me Elm) Aussicker, the
Mizzou muscle man. Howie Debus heads the pole vaulting de
partment, but his 13-foot best effort is a foot from 1939-42
Harry Hunt's 14-plus leaps. Don James, Evanston, 111., prospect,
is next best vault with a 12-foot top performance.
Doane transfer, Dick Petring, may add points in the sprints,
high jump, and broad jump if he rounds into condition prior
to seasonal opening, Feb. 13. Petring constantly has cleared the
high jump bar at a 6-foot nesting.
Distance performers Bob Bowles, Taul Johrde, Jim Brogan,
Harlan Culwell, and Bill Roebl comprise a quantitive unit at
least which should score heaviest in the two-mile race. 440 and
880 hope is bespectacled Al Brown, former Benson cinderite,
who posted 49 seconds in the quarter last year and this season
has turned the half in 2 :02.5 minus pressure.
Unless all sign and omens fail, Mizzou 's veteran-manned
squad will carry favorite's colors when Big Six teams converge
in the indoor meet, Feb. 27, on the Kansas City muny boards.
Return of low-hurdling king (outdoor) Joe Shy, 100 and 220-
yard dash champ Owen Joeggerst and Ausscker virtually as
sures the Tigers of three firsts unless Husker Vic Schleich slides
through with a shot put win.
Weir currently has all eyes focused on the seasonal open
ing at Columbia, Feb. 13. If the Huskers can outscore the Mis
sourians in dual competition, there's a reliable chance that once
again the indoor trophy will fall Nebraska way. But the possi
bility is remote.
"If every reserve lad in school would condition on the cin
ders (and is there a better way), we might find enough new
talent to cover our holes," confides Coach "Weir. Frosh track
sters will be eligible March 1, another factor which may lift
Scarlet hopes.
