BY BILL MUNDELL
Intramural Sports Columnist
, look who's still In tho I-M
basketball tourney. After Mon-
oay night's tournament action
there were some who were still
confused. There were close
games that were doped to be

overtimes and overtimes.
No actual upsets were re
corded In the books. That Is, no
underdogs actually won, but
they sure rave the favorites a
whirl of a time.
The closest game coming to an
upset was the big game of the
evening. Phi Kappa Psi met Sigma
Alpha Epsilon before over 150
spectators that, jammed court II
to see the potential battle for the
All-University championship.
The game was rated a toss
up with any edge the Phi Psl'i
owned, because of their number
one rating, disappearing because
of the inability of Bob Rey
nolds to perform. Reynolds
twisted an ankle in a Saturday
practice.
It was close all right, close to
two places at -he beginning of
the game and after the Sig Alphs I
caught up before romping to a
01-32 - in.
The rambling 'hi Psi's gave a
fancy exhibition of basketball
that ran the SAE's ragged in the
iirsfnine minutes of play. At that
point the Phi Psi machine owned
a 16-5 lead. They must have made
the Sig Alphs made because from
that point on, It was 1 11 SAE.
Behind the brilliance of Don
McArthur, Bill Wenke and Ron
Roeder, Sigma Alpha Epsilon
struck and the echo was heard
all over the campus.
Slapping the Phi -Psi's down
with only Larry Andersen's goal,
the Sig Alphs roared by a 21-18
halftime margin. Wenke took the
spotlight in the second period
with three swishers from the
corners that fcroke the Phi Psi
back.
Then Dynamite Jon took over.
McArthur was unstoiable in the
second hall as he poured hook
shots, left .. and right-handed.
through the meshes, danked jump
shots and was even on the scor
ing end of a blazing fast-break
in one instance.
All told, McArthur blazed the
nets for a total of 22 points for
top honors in the contest. He
was ably supported by -Wenke
.and Roeder who got ten apiece.
Jerry Anderson led the Phi
.Psi's with eight counters fol
lowed by Bob Bachman with
seven.
The result of the game brought
forth the cry, "Who will stop the
Sig Alphs?" and it's a good ques
tion. The SAE's are currently
favored to take it all in the next
four days of action.
Alpha Tau Omega, Sigma Phi
Epsilon and Delta Tau Delta re
mained in the race with quarter
final victories with all but the
Taus getting more than their share
of scores.
The ATO's, man-handling
Sigma Chi during the initial
three quarters, led going into
the final ten minutes, 33-16, and
breezed on to win, 38-24. The
Sigs were hopelessly outclassed
throughout the game.
Bernie Scheer topped the Tau
attack with 11 counters with Al
Blessing contributing another
nine. Ted Connor led the Sig
scoring with similar nine points.
Sigma Phi Epsilon was sup
posed to name their own score
against Sigma Nu, but the Sig
Eps nevfer gained the lead until
Conference
To Be Held
One of the fastest fields in Big
Seven swimming annals will go
to their marks in the Coliseum
pool Friday and Saturday.
Hoilie Lepley, University
coach and meet director, be
lieves the Conference record
book will be completely e
wrltten by the time the meet
ends Saturday night.
"Swimmers on the Iowa State
and Oklahoma team have broken
every existing record during the
dual meet season," Lepley points
out. "The 440-yard record has
been lowered by 15 seconds, the
relays by seven and eight seconds
and other events from two to eight
seconds."
The first event on the program
will be started at 9:15 Friday
morning. It is the 1500 meter
free style and in this field will
be Graham Johnston, British
Empire champion at this dist
ance In 1950.
Johnston, native At Bloemfon-
tein, South Africa, swims for
Oklahoma. He is favored to pat
the bank first after 65 lengths
of the pool have been navgated.
Two point winners from 1951
will be returning. Russ Thomas,
Iowa State, who won the event a
year ago and George Holan, Iowa
State, who placed fourth, will
provide Johnston with his stiffest
opposition.
Thompson was a triple crown
winner in 1951, taking the 1500
meters, the 220 and 440-yard
freestyle. Other returning cham
pions include Bob Brown. Iowa
State's Olympic prospect, who
won the 60 and 100-yard free
style; Lee Anderson, winner of
both back stroke events for the
Cyclones; Bob Thatcher, Okla
homa breaststroke champion and
the two Iowa State relay teams.
Lee Venske, University of Colo
rado quarterback in football, is
entered In the tme and three
meter fancy diving events. David
Glender, son of the Oklahoma
coach, Joe Glander, and Earl Hal
lum, also of Oklahoma, are favored
in these events.

Eps never gained the lead until
game. Even then the Sig Nu's
barged right back and knotted
the score to force the game Into
overtime before losing, 31-36.
Sig Nu Don Brym had the fi
nal outcome of the contest in his
hands. With the regulation game
finished and the 'ig Eps one point
on top, Brym toed the free-throw
line with two tosses coming to
him. A different outcome was the
result of any combination of his
tnrows.
All by himself on the court.
Brym's first throw rolled off the
hoop and the Sig ps were as
sured of at least a tie. A tie was
all they got for the time being as
his second toss was straight and
true and the score was knotted
at 31-31.
Sig Ep reserve power asserted
itself iy the overtime and
crushed the last spark out of
the dead-tired Nu's in the form
of baskets by Art Hanson and
Bov Svanda and a free throw
by AI Hanson. . t
Nu Lyle Altman took ton
scoring nonors n the game with
is points while Art Hanson coun
tered with ten. Brother Al added
six to the Sig Ep total while Irv
Peterson notched six for Sigma
Beta Theta Pi used a third
quarter surge to scare Delta

The Delta owned a comfortable
21-7 margin going Into that
third stanza, but the Betas were
Just getting ready to go,
The three Beta Toms, Harring
ton, Healy and Weekes, unleashed
a scoring barrage that narrowed
the gap to 28-31 going into the
final period. Only five counters
by George Paynich kept the Delts
above water.
Dave Olson kept the Delts out
in front in the final quarter and
Delta Tau Delta slipped into the
semi-nnais.
Harrington topped all scoring
with 13 counters followed by
Paynich with 12. Olson and Ray
Mladovich each garnered eight
for the winners as did Healy for
the losers.
All the spine-tingling action
wasn't turned in by fraternity "A"
outfits.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon "B" and
Farm House "B" played an over
time dilly. A ew record was
recorded in the books as the two
Bees fought their way through
five overtimes before the SAE's
won, 33-31.

pointer for a Sig Arph victory.
Ray Vlasin potted a fielder with
three seconds remaining in the
regular contest to give the Aggies
a 29-29 tie. In the first three
minute overtime Al Cramer of the
SAE's and Denzll Cleg matched
goal and that was all of the scor
ing until Jeffrey's winning toss.
Both teams refused numerous
free throws in the four sudden
death overtimes in order to try
ior tne important two-pointer.
Vlasin took top scoring hon
ors with 14 counters while Aggie
mate Marv Panelts notched an
other eight for the losers. Don
Sampson led the victors with
nine counters while Jeffrey and
Ted Forke each garnered eight.

tell half the story.
it doesn't tell how the Sigs,
second ranking "B" team, found
themselves outplayed, outshot
and outfought In the first twelve
minutes only to stage a terrific
uphill fight and win easily.
The ATO Bees made the Sigs
look silly in the first quarter,
running to a 14-2 margin at the
intermission. It wasn't enough to
win, however, and it served only
to give the Sigs a little wisdom.
Sigma Chi learned its lesson well
and proceeded to demonstrate by
rallying to an 18-18 halftime
mark, catching their breath in a
life-less third' period and shatter-!
ing the Taus in the big fourth
quarter, to win 44-27.
Larry Dunning and Ben Leon

punch for the Sigs with 15 and
14 points, respectively. Chuck
Marshall contributed 11 more
to the winning total. Mac Bailey
and Ted James led the Tau at
