Phi Delt-DU !
game tops I-M
slate tonight
Farm House can sew
up League 1 title now
by beating SAM team
Regular scheduled games in A
fraternity basketball end tonight
in two leagues, while in the two
other groups Thursday night
closes play.
Closest race is in League 3
where the DCs, Farm House and
Phi Dclt teams are in the lead
. with three games won and one
lost. Each team has one game to
play, as the Phi Delts and DU's
face each other, while the Farm
House has only a weak PiKA
team to get by. Farm House
Bhould stomp over the PiKA's,
and if they do will be tied with the
winner of the Phi Delt-DU tussle
for first place, and a playoff will
be necessary.
, Farmers favored.
Alpha Gamma Rho has only
Sigma Alpha Mu left in League
1. The teams play tonight and
the AGR's, who have won four
and lost one game, are favored
to beat the SAM's the only team
with any mathematical chance of
reaching them.
Other League 1 games tonight
pit the Kappa Sigs against the
Phi Sigs, and the Alpha Sigma
Phi's against Chi Phi. In League
3, the Sig Alphs play the Phi
Delts.
The Zeta Beta Tau-Dclta Tau
Delta game will help clarify the
League 2 situation tonight. Tlie
Delts and ATO's are undefeated in
three meetings, while the Zeta
Beta Tau's have lost only to the
ATO's in three games. The ATO's
face the Phi Sigs tonight.
The game which will probably
decide the league title, however,
is Thursday as the Delts and the
ATO's meet Another game that
night is between Phi Sigma Xap
pa and Beta Sigma Psi. The Zeta
Tau's, who have an outside chance
to the title, face Acacia Thurs
day night, too.
Betas, Sig Ept lead.
The Betas and Sig Eps are still
leading League 4 with two vic
' tories apiece. The Sigma Nu's
face the Sigma Chi's in the other
game.
The Beta's have the easier road
to the title provided they get past
the Sig Eps tonight. They meet
the Sigma Nu's Thursday night
while the Sig Eps have to meet
the Phi Gams, who have lost only
to the Beta's, and that by only 2
points. Should the Sig Eps upset
the dope and . defeat the Beta's
tonight, then lose to the Phi Gams,
the race will end in a 3-way tie if
the Beta's beat the Sigma Nu's

Gilmore attends meet
Dr. E. A. Gilmore, jr., of the
department of economics, repre
sented the University last week
at the tri-state conference of
credit men in Des Moines.
By June Bierbower.
Harry Hopp's eating habits are
coming in for a good deal of no
toriety in the state's press, espe
cially after a dinner given by the
Hastings Elks club at Harry's
home town at which Hopp, Biff
Jones et al. were present.
Story number one as told by
Harold Cowin of the Hastings
Tribune is that Hopp gorged him
self at the banquet, but said his
appetite that night was a little
dull, dropping the casual remark
that he had, before coming, eight
helpings of a concoction of ham
burger, cabbage and dough.
Biff Jones then gave another
example of IIopp's appetite: Harry
stopped at his favorite hambur
ger establishment and ordered
nine of them. The waiter asked if
he wanted to take them out, hut
Harry said he'd just eat them
right there. The waiter looked
askance and told the cook there
was someone out there who
wanted to eat nine hamburgers.
The cook caught on. He said, "Oh,
that's Harry Hopp. Ask him what
else he wants.
Nebrask's "B" team won't soon
forget Friday night. The team was
to set out for Tarkio, Missouri, at
3:45 that afternoon to play Tarkio
college, but didn't leave here until
half an hour later, having waited
that time for a player who never
did show up.
Before they left there came
special delivery letter from Tarkio
avina the aame would start at
7:30 instead of 8. In order to per
mit another game to be played
that night
