Upsets Spice Second Day
Of M Basketball Playoffs
Sigma Nu Surprises Phi Psi s;
Farm House Bees Hit Phi Delts
Upsets fell fast and thick in
the second round of the I-M
basketball playoffs Thursday and
Friday. The opening round had
produced no startling results, but
that had been more than made
up for by Friday night.
" First off, fired-up Sigma Nu
handed a cold bunch ot Phi Psi's
their first defeat of the year and
knocked them out of the tourney,
The Nu's, sensing an upset over
the. surprisingly, impotent. Phi
Psi's, took .advantage of every
break and eked out a 34-32 win.
Sigma Nu was never behind.
They jumped to an early lead
on oasKets by bhepherd, Peterson
and Altaian and at one time in
the first quarter held a 12-3
margin.
The Phi Psi's rallied on bas
kets by Jack Ladds and Bob
Reynolds to narrow the count
at 16-14 at one time. The Nu's
owned a 20-15 halftone lead.
Stays Even.
The third quarter stayed even
all the way with both outfits
matching basket for basket and
the score going into the final pe
riod read 32-27.
Jerry Anderson and Don Frei
dumped in two-pointers for the
desperate Phi Psi's in that final
stanza but Andy Bunten hit for
his only basket of the game to
give the Nu's breathing room
egain.
The losers had their chances,
however. Four times in the last
minutes and a half they had the
ball within ten feet of their bas
ket but couldn't push it through.
Lyle Altman was the top
ecorer of the contest, giving the
Nu's a big boost with 14 points.
Peterson added seven more to
the winning cause. Frei with nine
end Jerry Anderson with seven
were the best the Phi Psi's could
offer. .
Another Upset.
Another contest that can be
classed as one of the major up
sets of the playoffs was the
Farm House "B" shellacking of
Phi Delta Theta ".B" The Aggie
cagers had absolutely no trouble
outclassing the junior Phi Delts
who were the number two team
in the frat "B" ratings going into
the playoffs.
The Farmer Bees roared to
19-4 first quarter lead and then
coasted in for the upset win.
Marv Panietz and Ray Vlasin
led the Farm House attack with
12 points apiece while Rollie
Reynolds contributed ten more.
Faul Gustafson was the only
thorn in the Aggie side as that
Phi Delt dropped in 11 mark
ers for the losers.
Farm House thus meets Phi
Gamma Delta "B" in the semi
finals of the "B" tourney Mon
day. The junior Fijis walloped Phi
Kappa Psi 'B" 39-18 to reach the
semis. The first half was close
with the scores standing at 7-7
and 15-12 after the first two
quarters.
Cut Loose
The Phi Gams cut loose in the
third period, however, and that
was all for the Phi Psi's who
went the way of their big
Droiners.
Maupin was the scoring cog for
the Fijis with 21 markers. Mc
Weekin added nine more to the
Fiji cause. John Dick was the
lone hope of the losers as he tal
lied eight.
Unbeaten and top independent
ranked Phi Delta Phi had no
trouble running up a 49-29 score
on the City YMCA in their sec
ond .round rame.
The lawyers started out slowly,
owning margins tf only 11-4 and
14-7 at the end of the first two
quarters. They upped the tempo
In the remaining two periods,
however, and it was too fast for
the City YM men.
Wilson Tops
Wilson was the score-getter for i
the winning shysters with 12
counters to his credit. Bob Sco
ville and Bill Wenke each tallied
11 to keep the lawyers on the
move. Chalos Hanson took top
scoring honors as he tallied 13
for the City YMCA, Bob Green
added six more.
Powerful Geologist found fae
rolng rather tough in the first
half of their second round con
test with Alpha Stems Phi. The
Alpha Sirs matched bucket for
bucket with the high-flying Ge
ology outfit throughout both the
Initial periods. Twice during that
time - the underdog Alpha Sigs
led.
The pace was too much for the
lightii g underdogs, however. In
the ond half they wilted fast
an Geology rolled along in con
vincing style to win 59-36.
Yelkin Araln
As in the games befor. it was
big Jack Yelkin leading the scor
ing for the winners. Yelkin, who
established a new all-time indi
vidual scoring record of 56 in the
first round of the playoffs, was
held to a mere 25 counters. Gene
Carter supplied the winners with
nine more pointers.
Avred Christensen was the big
gun of the Alpha Sig attack, col
lecting a good 16 markers. Broth
ers Joe and Paul Slegmund each
contributed six counters.
Sigma Phi Epsilon disproved
any unfavorable theories about
Its basketball team as it romped
to a 47-34 win over Brown Pal
ace. The Sig Eps were hotter
than three shades of red in the
first half as they hit almost 70
per cent of their shots and ran
up a 26 to 13 lead.
The Palacers managed to get
on the scoring ball in the second
half, but the Sig Eps matched
their efforts and that was the
game.
Brandon Gets 19
Brandon was the Sig Ep flurry
a i he garnered 19 counters. Kay
Curtis and Svanda each added
seven points to the Sig Ep total.
Mel Williams was the high scorer
for the palacers with 14. Hanson
added eight ,more.
Phi Delta Theta won two con
tests In their quest of th Fra
ternity "A" and All -University
championships .Thursday and
Friday. The .top-marked Phi
Delts had a rough go downing
Delta Tau Delta, 34-29 and then
returned with a 54-24 shellack
ing of Pioneer House
The Phi Delt Delt contest was
close all the way once the Delt
scoring eye was found. The Phi
Delts rolled up a 18-9 first half
lead and then saw their margin
whittled down slowly but surely.
Chick Battey was the top man
for the winners with 14 counters,
six coming via the free throw
line. Louie Roper ran second
to Battey with eight points. The
Delt scoring was pretty well split
up with George Paynich and
Elmer Vandel each betting seven
points.
From Cold To Hot
In the Pioneer contest, the Phi
Delts raised their temperature I
a good 150 degrees from the first
quarter to the remaining three.
They were sub-zero in their
shots during the opening stanza
and trailed the Pioneers, 10-9 at
that point. They were behind
10-3 at one time.
Opening the second quarter, it
was a new Phi Delt team that
took the floor. With Tom Led
ingham and Chick Battey, com
bining, they rolled up a 25-11
halftime lead and continued their
terrific pace throughout the rest
of the game.
Battey s 23 points was tops in
the game followed by teammate
Bill Farmer's ten. Wes Beery led
the Pioneer attack wfth nine
counters while Dick Anderson
and Bob Dwehus each added five.
Sigma Chi also won two con
tests Thursday and Friday. The
Sigs downed Cornhusker Co-op,
45-38 and tripped Norris House,
31-16.

Balloting for the All-University
intramural basketball team is
now open.
Five I-M teams will be picked
this year as last fraternity "A,"
fraternity "B," independent, de
nominational, and All-University
all-star team. The pattern of
picking the honorary oufits will
follow last season's. The teams
will be picked by the managers
and their teams which competed
in the 1950-51 cage play.
Each manager of each team is
asked to poll his players or turn
in his own opinion as to the best
players they have faced this year.
After deciding, a first team and a
second team is to be formed and
sent to The Daily Nebraskan
sports department.
Regulations
Here are the regulations to fol
low: 1. Select five men for a first
team and five men for a second
team. Positions do not matter,
since most of the participants in
the 1950-51 season played most
or all of the positions.
2. Only those teams and play
ers that you have faced on the
court are eligible to receive a1
vote from your team. Other votes
will be disregarded.
3. No team may vote for any
member on that particular team.
4. If ten men cannot be named,
vote for as many as it is possi
ble, placing the first five on the
first team and the remainder on
the second team.
5. All ballots must be signed by
the manager and the name of his
team must be affixed.
6. Fraternities or other organ
izations with two teams compet
ing, such as "A" and "B" teams,
should send in two ballots, one
for each team.
7. Send all ballots to the Sports
Editor of The Daily Nebraskan,
Student Union, U of N, on or be
fore Monday, Mar. 19.
Last year 74 ballots were re
ceived out of the 82 teams com
peting. It is hoped that even
more will vote this year to insure
an accurate and fair selecting.
There were 85 teams competing
this year.
A lot of interest in the intra
mural sport has been shown
throughout this season and is in
creasing so for the playoffs, so
no team should neglect to vote.
Remember, get them in right
away.
game in its contest. Their shots
refused to go through the meshes

ter lead and stretched that 26-19
at the intermission.
Thomas wits 11 and Dick Cor
dell with ten led the Sig attack.
Jack Llitteras and Dick Hunger
ford each contributed eight to
the Co-co total.
Norris House stayed in their
contest with the Sigs for about
15 minutes and then began to
slip. The Sigs dropped in ten
points In the second quarter to
four for Norris to take a 16-9
halftime lead.
Cordell Leads
Dick Cordell led the Sigs with
ten points, four coming on free
throws. Charles Curtis added
eight more. Joe Babcock was the
top scorer for the Norris men
with four.
The Dorm A Comets took the
rubber game in their series with
Nebraska Co-op to advance to
the semi-finals of the independ
ent playoffs. The Comets won
that contest on a 30-28 count.
The Nebraska Co-op men ral
lied gallantly in the last half but!
couldn't quite overcome the mar
gin the Comets had provided in
the opening half. Going into the
third quarter the score stood at
22-12.
Dick Giles and Al Curtis got
ten and eight points, respectively
for the Comets. Charles Brough
ton led the Nebraska Co-op's
evenly distributed scoring with

added eight more. Bernard Pack-
ett topped the Paddie score-get
ting 12. Three men made six
points for the PAD's; Howard
Hansen, Lewis Curling, and Or
rin Osterholm.
Alpha Tau Omega and Sigma
Phi Epsilon Bee teams put on
one of the closest games of the
tourney thus far. Favored Alpha
Tau Omega "B" was supposed to
romp by the Sig Eps with at least
ten points to spare, but the junior
Sig Eps had other ideas and won
31-30.
The two first quarters ended in
6-6 and 10-10 ties, but the Sig
Eps began clicking in the third
quarter. With Ted Kratt racking
up nine points the Sig Eps held
a 22-15 margin going into the
final ten minutes.
Ted James and Wally Reed
found their hitting eyes to lead
a Tau rally. James connected for
seven and Reed six in boosting
the score to 31-30 with only sec
onds remaining. James had hit
three for four free throws in the
fourth quarter to get his seven.
Misses Tie
The thrilling climax came just
as the final buzzer rang. Ted
James was fouled and was
awarded on free toss and a
chance to tie the game and send
it into overtime. James' shot
bounced from one rim to the
other and then amid loud shouts
of glee from the Sig Eps, it
bounced out.
Kratt and James led the scorers
for their respective teams. Kratt
got a total of 16 and James, 15.
Reed of the Taus got eight more.
Top ranked Sigma Chi "B"
breezed to a surprisingly easy
win over Delta Upsilon "B" in
their second round game. The
junior Sigs won by a score of
38-24.
AROUND THE LOOP...
Eight (-State Cagers
Better 1949-50 Record
By Shirley Murphy
All but one of Kansas State's eight returning lettermen have
substantially bettered their 1949-50 season point totals in the Wild
cat record breaking output of 1654 in their regular season of bas
ketball. Lew Hitch showed the biggest boost by netting 111 points over
his last year's record.. He is tiedfor third place in the K-State
line-up with Jack Stone. Ernie Barrett who heads the scoring
parade only bettered his record by 10 points over last season with
his collection of 251 points.
But their cross-state rivals at Lawrence produced the record
breaker, Clyde Lovellette, who set a new KU scoring mark 1083.
He has a total of 286 in 12 Big Seven games, nine more than his
record total of 277 last year. He topped the former KU scoring
set by Charlie Black, by one point.
v
Third on that list of KU top ten scorers is Otto Schellbacher
who has recently been added to the Jayhawker football staff.
Schnellbacher begins working part-time March 19 with spring foot
ball practice. His expected prime position will be pass defense
since he earned a reputation as one of the top defensive halfbacks
in professional football during the last three seasons.
"I will enjoy serving on Coach Sikes' staff as much as possible,"
Schnellbacher said, "but insurance will continue to be my main
job."

Prep Cage Tourneys Near
Completion; Platters Beaten
Upsets were in the sportlight
as the regional high school tour
neys came to a climax last Fri
day and Saturday.
In the Class A scrap between
Lincoln High and Northeast at
Fairbury the Links coasted to
victory with ease over the de
fending state champs. The win
ners cashed in on 21 out of 27
free throws to spearhead their
win. Northeast could make only
three out of 11 tries. Lincoln hit
37.3 per cent of its shots against
a 31.3 for the Rockets. Both
teams still win tries to Lincoln.
North Platte
But an even bigger upset found
Scottsbluff blasting North Platte
completely out of the basketball
world. The Bulldogs rated the
top team in the state by the As
sociated Press absorbed a 64-54
drubbing from Scottsbluff. The
defeat snapped a 15-game win
ning streak. The North Platters
were cold during the entire game.
By the end of the half they were
behind 34-21 and never seriously
challenged the Bluffmen after
that. Both teams, however, had
already won a place in the state
tourney.
A third district championship
found Omaha Tech continuing its
basketball mastery over Omaha
Beuson. The Maroons defeated
the Bunnies, 49-37. It was their
third straight triumph this year
m that series.
Tutors Win
In Class B Lincoln Teachers
won a ticket to the state tourna
ment by clipping York, 49-41
The roof fell in on the Dukes in
the third quarter when the Tu
tors canned fifteen points while
holding the Yorkers to 2. The
one-two punch of Stan Matzke
at forward and Ben Meckel at
center proved too much for the
willing but helpless Dukes.
Matzke led the scoring column
with 20 points, while Meckel fol
lowed with 19.
Holy Name
A favorite for the Class B
title, Omaha Holy Name, had little-
trouble in downing Wahoo at
Omaha. The final score was 39
28. The Holy Name men simply
had too much depth for Wahoo.
Minden had its hopes badly
mistreated when Holdrege eked
out a 38-26 victory in two over
time periods at Lexington. Min
den had been favored to win the
tourney.
Plainview won a ticket to Lin
coln in the Class B bracket by
downing Ainsworth 58-41 at
O'Neill.
Gering
Gering fought its way into the
state tourney by manhandling
Sidney 49-38 at Scottsbluff.
Mitchell had been favored to win
the tourney, but its team was
knocked off in the semi-finals by
Sidney.
Wayne won its own tourna
ment by defeating the hapless
Pender team, 62-44. In a major
Class B upset Albion absorbed a
48-23 lacing from David City at
Central City.
Another Class C berth was
salted away when St. Joseph of
Atkinson bumped Hartington 54
38 at Wausa.
Axtell assured itself of a Class
D spot in the state tournament
by dropping Madrid, 37-36. i
Coach Bill Glassford has divid
ed his University spring football
charges into two squads the
reds and the whites.
Following the division Friday
the gridders went through an hour
of fundamentals and a solid hour
of scrimmage. The drills were
held in the field house due to the
cold outside.
Clayton Curtis and Don Boll
changed offensive positions Fri
day. Both changes were made to
strengthen the offensive platoon
Curtis was moved from full
back to guard and Boll from
tackle to center. After the prac
tice session Curtis commented
that he thought guard was a
great spot.
First major injury of the spring
session was sustained by Sam
Sarrate, fullback, during the
scrimmage. Sam fell to the ground
in pain after being hit.
Though definite diagnosis was
not possible in the training room,
it is believed that Serrate broke
a bone in his lower leg or ankle.
The squad division includes:
