their share of the rebounds in

Mighty Sigma Gamma' Epsilon
stands alone as king of Inde
pendent basketball today. The
unbeaten geologists rolled to
their ninth straight victory and
the Independent championship
Wednesday night, trouncing Dor
mitory C, 47-26.
The Dorm men, who reached
the playoff finals after over
coming seemingly unsurmount
able odds, fought the Sig Gams

four men.
The Dorm boys were without
the aid of their stalwart center
Lee Korte who suffered a
sprained ankle before the game.

ten minutes gone.
Gene Yelkin and Chuck
Nunley led the way as the Sig
Gams spurted to a 19-11 half

The Sig Gam reserves played
most of the third period and even
they seemed to be masters of the
neers with 14 markers. Churchill
of the losers potted seven.
Top ranked Delta Tau Delta
gained a berth in the playoffs
Tuesday by turning back a stub
born Tau Kappa Epsilon outfit,
42-35.
The Tekes were definitely hot
as they pressed the Delts ail the
way. Halftime score read 17-12
Delts.
Elmer Vandel and Hal
Brectzke topped the Delt scor
ing with 14 and 11 points, re
spectively. Breslin netted 12 for
the losing Tekes.

game of the year Tuesday by
upsetting Delta Sigma Phi. 42

vored Delta Sigs for three pe
riods only to see their big lead
disappear In the last five min
utes. With only those five re

lead.
The spirited Delta Sig rally
was led by Clark iietcke who
led the scorers in the game with
a total of 16. Don Nelson topped

Kentucky Mauled
By CCNY in NIT
Led by the torrid shooting of
All - American Ed Warner, the
City College of New York
pounded Kentucky. 89-50, in the
quarterfinals of the National In
vitation Basketball Tournament
Tuesday night.
Nat Holman's eager Beavers
played like champions before
the 18,000 people at Madison
Square Garden. Adolph Rupp's
Kentucky Wildcats, the team he
labels as potentially his best
ever, was completely confused
before the home-town squad and
suffered its worst beating since
Rupp took over in 1931.
Warner topped scoring with 26
points, the same number he
grabbed in CCNY's opening win
over San Francisco Saturday.
Kentucky, 1948 Olympic cham
pion and winner of the NCAA
title last year, was jolted from
this same tournament in the
quarterfinals a year ago by Loy
ola cf Chicago.
In the first game Tuesday
night, Duquesne edged La Salle.
49-47 giving them the right to
meet CCNY in the semifinals, to
night. The other semifinal match
sends top-seeded Bradley against
St. John's of Brooklyn. Both
teams advanced Monday night.
The finals of the NIT are sched
