Thursday, February 24, Talis Snare 4A' Cage Title As Fijis Fall Alpha Tau Omega waltzed past Phi Gamma Delta, 44 to 13, Wed nesday night on the P. E. maples for the Intramural Class A bask etball championship. From the outset the Taus were in command, as Bill Denker con verted l'rom the free throw line thrice without a miss. The count climbed to 9-0 before the Figis could connect, and on the sharp shooting of Jack Carroll the Taus rolled to a 24-10 halftime advan tage. DENKER again started the ATO scoring machine in the second half with a pair of quick fielders for a 28-10 count. From there on out it was a matter of how many points the Taus would amass. The Taus defense worked to perfection as the Phi Gams could hit but for four fielders, all in the first quarter. In the second half the Fijis only scores came from the free throw line. DOYLE BUSKOHL and Big Don Rice spearheaded the win ning "iron-curtain" while Carroll's 12 points bagged scoring honors. Denker aided with 11, seven of them on free throws. Bob Olmstcad accounted for half of the Phi Gam points, while Randy Rankin was next with three. Monday night the ATOs meet Delta Upsilon, 24-21 conqueror of Sigma Chi in the Class B finals, for the all-fraternity champion ship.

MISSOURI HAS a challenger in Bob Bosworth, a madeover miler. Bosworth shifted to the shorter distance when the defend ing champs lost regular Charlie Lancaster. For the last four in door and outdoor meets, Bosworth has placed as a miler, pushing Jayhawker Bob Karnes all the way before losing a 4:22.3 per formance last year at Lincoln. Harold Kopf of Nebraska missed the indoor carnival last year be cause of a pulled muscle, but will be ready to go this week end. Last week he and teammate Jim Mar tin ran a dead heat against Okla homa in 1:58.9. As a freshman two years ago, he turned in a 1:55.5 timing as he won the first Big Seven-Southwest dual at Dallas.

Holtus, as usual, led the scoring with 11 of the Beta Sig's points. While the fraternities played, several good Independent games were being fought. The. Farm House waltzed by the Newman Club, 43-21 in an amazing show of power. A second half spurt put the Ag boys too far in front for the Catholics to ever catch up.

Petersen Cracks Iowa State Mark Bob Petersen, Iowa State's bril liant guard, broke the Iowa State scoring record for guards in last week's tussle with Nebraska's high flying Cornhuskers.
