Phi Gaminca Bew
Wins IM IKIonors
Fijis Upset Sigma
Chi To Take 4A'
Basketball Crown
BY LEE HARRIS.
The intramural basketball play
offs finished Tuesday night in high
style, typifying intramural play
this year. In the important A
playoffs, the Phi Gamma Delta
quintet turned in a mild upset by
trimming previously unbeaten
Sigma Chi, 24-21.
In the B team playoffs, Sigma
Alpha Epsilon did away with a
hard fighting: Thi Delta Theta
outfit to cop honors in their class.
In the consolation games, the
Beta Theta Pi five knocked off
Delta Upsilon 35-26, to take third
in the A competition, while Alpha
Tau Omega slapped down a rug
ged Theta Xi team, 39-28 in the
B consolation game.
Always Ahead.
The Phi Gams, in turning in
one of theit finest performances
of the year, were ahead all the
way as they pressed their way
to a repeat championship. Not un
til the last 30 seconds of the
game were the Sigma Chi boys
able to overhaul the alert Fijis.
McWilliams took the ball at mid
court and dribbled in about three
feet and let loose the shot that
looked like it would send the
game into overtime.
However, tn the last 40 seconds
Captain Jim Meyers drove in for
a well-placed set-op to ice the
game for the Phi Gams. A free
throw a second before had put
the Fijis in the lead and with
Myers' bucket the game was no
longer a contest.
The game started out slowly,
for both teams were cold the first
half, including Jim McWilliams,
the Sig Chi star who had scored
41 points in two earlier play
off games. The half ended with
the Phi' Gams on top, 14-9.
Free Throws.
All the Sig Chi points with the
exception of two, came on
fjce
throws in the first stanza. The
second half saw a repetition of
the first as the Phi Gams beat
off the constant efforts of a spir
ited Sigma Chi. team. Whithead,
the towering center for Sigma
Chi, was continually bottled up
under the basket all during the
game. He did get loose for a pair
of baskets in the second half, but
they were quickly matched by the
alert Myers.
With two minutes to go, the
score was 21-16 in favor of Phi
Gamma Delta. In the last two
minutes the Sigma Chi five looked
like the team of a few nights
before as they counted three
times to tie at 21-alWwith a half
minute remaining.
The Phi Gams showed a well
planned defense as they held Mc
Williams to six points, a figure
far below his average par. Myers
of the winners was the big scor
ing threat all evening as he
pushed through 11 points to lead
all scorers. Beside leadmg the
scoring column, he played a beau
tiful floor game for the repeating
champions.

In the consolation game for
third place honors. Beta Theta
Pi, clipped Delta Upsilon by a
score of 35-26. The Betas led all
the way, as Roland Emmett spear
headed the attack.
The Betas, who had beaten a
strong Phi Delta Theta outfit in
the first round of the playoffs,
and then lost by one noiitt to Phi
Gamma Delta the next night, were
not to be denied as they played
heads-up ball all the way.
Delta Upsilon, winner of Lea
gue three in regular season play,
had the speed to win -but lacked
the ability to hit the hoop as
their shots rolled around and out.
Lawson, Emmett Score.
In contrast, the Betas sifted
through the D.U. defense time
and again for sure set-ups that
put the ball game ,n their win
column. Lawson. was the star, far
the Delta Upsilon game as he
collected a total of 10 points. Em
mett grabbed the same number
for the winners.
The win gave third place in the
final standings to the fast Beta
Theta Pi quintet, a team that
missed the finals by one point.

The B team finals which were
held early in the evening, resulted
in a pair of well played games.
In the, main event, Sigma Alpha
Epsilon pounced on Phi Delta
Theta to walk off with the B
team championship. The final
score was 32-21 for the Sig Alph
five.
From the time the Sig: Alphs
broke the silence of the coliseum
with a basket at the two-minute
mark, they were in control of the
ball. The Phi Delts fought back
bard but at no time could they
catch the fast breaking Sig Alphs.
The half time score was 12-9 with
rhi Delta Theta trailing.
In the last half, the Phi Delts
at times looked good enough to
catch the never-waiting Sigma Al
pha Epsilon five. With five min
utes remaining in the game, the
Sig Alpha advantage had mount
ed to ten points, the score being
29-19.
Partington Shines.
The winners missed few
chances, as was not the case with
the Phi Delts. Joe Partington
again played a nice floor game, as
he hit the scoring column for eight
points. Ancrom and Gary tied for
scoring honors in the Sigma Al
pha Epsilon cause with eight
apiece.

Tn the other B team contest Al
pha Tau Omega stayed out in
front of a good Theta Xi team to
win third place honors in the B
team standings.
The game which ended 35-29
in favor of ATO. belonged to ATO
all the way as they controlled
more than their share of the re
bounds. The Theta Xi boys didn't
know what the word quit meant
as they pressed hard right until
the final seconds of play.
However, they were just a lit
tle out of their class, as the ATO
hit about everything they threw
at the basket. The first half ended
with ATO safely out in front 17-9.
From there on they played the
game in their own style with the
losers threatening only once when
they came up to within three
points of the pace setter.
McKee of ATO set somewhat of
a record as he sent eight straight
gift tosses through the nets in a
row. He led all scorers with a
total of 12. Einder managed to pot
eight for Theta Xi.

The first renewal of the Big Six
swimming championships since
1942 will take place this week end
at Iowa State College in Ames.
When the firing is all over, it
is likely that the only one confer
ence swimmig record will remain
untouched, and even it may pos
sibly go by the boards. The 1947
swimmers have shown little re
spect for the old marks. Only the
:29.5 mark for the' 60-yard free
style set by Roger Adams of Iowa j
State in 1940 has not been touched j
this year. Marvin Grimm of Ne- '
braska has a 30:4 mark with Leitt J
of Kansas State holding a :30.5
time to rank as the only men with
even a remote chance of smashing
that mark.
Grimm also has been under the
:54.1 mark for the 100-yard free
style. He will have to face the
great Cyclone frosh, Roger Watts,
in this event. Both men have
bettered :54 to make the event a
tossup. Watts has also bettered
both the 220 and 440 marks and
appears certain to erase the old
marks. Smoky Stover, record
holder from Kansas State, and
Burns of Oklahoma arc the big
threats to Watts.
All four Big Six members who
have swimming teams have

mark either Friday in the prelimi
naries or Saturday in the finals.
Iowa State has been under the
300-yard medley record in each
of its seven meets.
Husker Entries.
Coach Hollie Lepley announced
the Cornhusker entries for the
conference test as follows: Back
stroke: Les Oldfield, Don Meyers,
Andrew Miller. Breast stroke:
Conrad King, Barton Greenberg.
Divers: Roger Moore, Richard
Bell, Billy Case, Philip Sprague.
Distance free style: Bill Burr,
Dean Porter. Sprint free style:
Marvin Grimm, Dick Draper, Jack
Campbell, Perry Branch.
Les Oldfield. Nebraskan wbo
holds the conference backstroke
record, will be on hand but is
figured to give up both his cham
pionship and his record. Doug
Robison, Cyclone captain, is fav
ored over Oldfield.
Marvin Grimm, freshman free
styler from Wilbcr, has been the
leading point getter for the Corn
huskers thru the dual meet sea
son. Grimm holds the Nebraska
varsity record in both the 50 and
100 yard free style events. .His
:24 second performance in the 50
lowered the mark of :24.1 set in
1939 by Adams of Iowa State.
Grimm clipped a full second off
the 100-yard mark of :55 held by
Nebraskan Bill Edwards since

King a Threat.
In the breast sti-oke a pair of
Cyclone freshmen and the veteran
Husker Conrad King form the
threat to the 2:33.4 mark set by
Surber of Oklahoma in 1940. Dick
Ncilsen and Ed Howes have been
at the record all season while King
came within a second of it in his
last meet.
The Cornhusker mermen have
won five contests while losing
four. Victories include two wins
over Kansas State and one each
over Colorado, Oklahoma, and De
loit. Minnesota, Iowa U and Iowa
State have administered the
Huskers' four defeats, two of them
coming at the hands of Iowa State.
