Jumping off to an 18-12 first
half lead, Lieutenant Shaffer's
Field House five piaintained the
pace to top Company A. 33 to 26,
last Pight in the coliseum. High
man for the winners was DeSilva
with 11 points, followed by Hays
and Cook with eight counters
apiece.
The win was the Field House s
third straight over the Red Raid
ers, and left A Company in me
intramural cellar. Pacemaker for
"A" was Livingston with four field
goals, assisted by Aho and Mc
Auley with six points each. Play
started out slowly in the first
stanza, with the Field House grad
ually building up their margin
thru the under-the-basket work of
DeSilva. and Havs' set shots.
Second Half More Even.
The second half was more even
both teams fighting hard, with
A Company never quite able to
close the gap. despite the work
of Livingston, Aho and McAuley.
With about two minutes to go. the
winners had a not too safe 29-24
lead before DeSilva broke thru j
for a lay-up and Hays dropped at
one-handed ptishshot to make it '
33-24. McAuley tossed in a set
shot just before the whistle to 1
make it Field House 33. Company
A 26.
The victory assured the Field
Housemen of fourth place in the
final standings, the same position
which they occupied in the last)
round, and gave them an over-all
intramural record of three wins
a nd seven losses.
Remaining Games Uncertain.
Several games remaiTi to be
played in the third round, but
whether or not they will be run
off is not known because of the j
uncertain future of ASTP. B and;
C met for the championship last
Monday they had identical sea
son's records in intramurals anl
the C men came out on top, 35 t )
31. to become campus trainee
champs.

Selective Service
(Continued from Page 1.)
by separate quotas limited to
needs of the profession.
Full-time preprofessional stu
dents in these fields in good
standing may be considered for
deferment if they present three
pertinent certifications. First,
their school must certify they will
complete the course in 24 months
from certification. Then a recog
nized professional school must
certify he will be admitted for
his professional training. Finally,
the national roster piust certify
this deferment within the quota
for prcprofcssionals.
There is a further limitation
upon medicine and dentistry stu
dents. Schools in these subjects
cannot grant admissions beyond
their civilian capacity, since the
military already utilizes 80 per
cent of medical school capacity
and 55 percent of dental school
capacity. This means medical
schools can certify admissions to
only 20 percent and dental schools
up to 45 percent of their capacity
to any entering group.
