It was Sig Ep day Tuesday.
Sigma Phi Epsuon came through
with starting upsets in both the
finals of the fraternity "A" and
fraternity "B" tourneys to walk
off with both trophies. The Sig
Ep Bees walloped the Phi Gam
ma Delta "B" team 25-21 to be
come the 1951 frat "B" champion
and the Sig Ep seniors edged Phi
Delta Theta 38-36 to cop the fra
ternr "A" championship. Both
were jnajor upsets.
The final contest in the senior
tourney was close all the way
with the top-heavy Phi Delts
holding the upper hand most of
the way.
The Sig Eps broke into an early
lead on free tosses by Art Han
sen and fielders by Dave Bran
don, but the Phi Delts closed the
quarter fast and trailed only 7-9
going into the second period.
Chick Battey, the Phi Delt hot
shot, netted four points to lead
the losers in the second quarter
to a 15-15 halftone tie.
Continued To Press
The Phi Delts continued their
drive in the third period with
Stan Gerlach and Battey account
ing for the majority of the points
and held a slim 24-22 margin
going into the final ten minutes.
Then Al Hansen went into ac
tion. The blond Sig Ep pumped
four straight points through the
meshes to give the winners the
lead. Louie Roper and Dave
Graef accounted for long swish
ers to put the Phi Delts back on
top and then Art Hansen and
Brandon accounted for four while
Graef collected two to knot the
count at 30-30 with four minutes
remaining.
Roper dunked another two
pointer and Battey got a free
throw to give the Phi Delts a
three-point lead, but Brandon hit
another and the lead was cut to
one point.
Brandon Fouls Out
Brandon fouled out of the con
test with three minutes to go and
Battey hit one of his two free
tosses and it looked as if that
might be enough to win.
Then things began to get hot
Bill Anderson hit his only two
pointer in the game and Al Han
sen stifled the Phi Delt rooters
with four quick points. And
then with a minute 4 half
to go, the Sig Sps were on, top
88-34. And then the stall began.
Phi Delts flying all over the
court, the Sig Eps managed to

times, waiving free throws.
Tom Ledingham broke the Sig
Ep defense once and that was
enough 'for two points and nar
rowed the gap to two points. But
time ran out and the Sig Ep stall
was effective and the Phi Delts
were denied the frat "A" title on
one of the top upsets of the
tourney.
Brandon Tops
Battey with 11 and Roper and
Graef with eight apiece topped
the Phi Delt scoring. Al Hansen,
whose late shots were the clinch
ers, got 12 points while Dave
Brandon led all scorers with 12.
The frat "B" title contest was
practically the opposite. The Jun
ior Sig Eps rolled to an 11-2 first
quarter lead and stretched that
to 18-7 at halftime.
Murl Maupin found his shoot
ing eye in the third quarter and
with eight points heled the Phi
Gams to a 17-23 third quarter
score.
The Sig Eps managed only two
points on a basket by Hod Myers
in the last stanza while the Phi
Gams collected four, but it wasn't
enough. The rally had started
too late and the Sig Eps were
double champions.
Bill Russel led the victors with
eight points while Myers and Ted
Kratt each got six. Maupin led
all scorers with 13 for the Fijis.
The Sig victory is doubly sweet
because both outfits were sup
posed to be out of the playoffs
after the second round. The Sig
Ep Juniors were underdogs from
the second round on.
The Sig Eps' win over Phi Del
ta Theta is even more amazing
when you consider that their top
rebound ace, Kay Curtis, did not
see action because of sickness
and that the Sig Eps in general
were cold in all their first three
quarter shooting.
Not Cold
But then there was a contest
Tuesday in which neither team
knew what the word "cold"
meant.
The Dorm A Stars, supposed
to be easy pickings for a power
ful Phi Delta Phi outfit, played
the pants off the Fiddle-de-fees,
but finally bowed to superior
height and lost 47-48.
The Stars hit 51 of their
shots in the contest and the Phi
Delt lawyers weer not far be
hind as they cashed in on 45
of their attempts.
The Stars started off fast and
surprised everyone by owning an
early 8-2 lead. The lawyers came
back just as rapidly, however,
and took the lead for the first
time just before the quarter. Go
ing into the second frame the
score stood at 11-10.
The shysters increased their
margin slightly in the second
quarter with center Don McAr
thur getting four counters. At
the rest period the count was
22-19.
Mc Arthur was the big gun in
the thrid quarter as he potted
nine points but the Stars over
came that handicap and nar
rowed the margin to two points
on some fancy shooting by Ray
Svehla, Clark C-ley and Bud
Harris. With but ten minutes to
go the score was 38-36.
The lawyser reached 40 on a
fielder by McArthur and then the
Stars pulled up even on a basket
by Caley and another by Welch,
From there on it was dog eat

point lead and then the Stars
knotted it up. The score stand

Draft May Hurt

Colorado baseball is dodging the draft. Frank PrcnU,,), uff

its cooling effects. Don Shirk, sophomore catcher didn't help

ors listed Bob Perce as receiver of an honorable mention rating.
Other Big Seven men were Clyde Lovellette of KU to first team,
Ernie Barrett of K-State to third team, Wayne Tudker, Colorado,
and' Jack Stone, K-State, claimed honorable mention.
The Jayhawkr football coaching staff gained a new mentor
for spring practice. He is Dick Tomllnson, former all-Big Seven

Doyle To Play

Ted Doyle, who lettered at tac

ka in 1936-'37-'38. will be back
at his old stand when the Corn
huskers Old Timers meet the Var
sity football "team in the annual
spring battle April 14.
Doyle's acceptance of an invita
tion to play in the game was
among the first received. He is
now operating a bowling alley
at Fairbury. It was Doyle's sturdy
play at tackle a year ago that
played a big part in forcing the
varsity to come from behind to
gain a 13-13 tie.
Herm Rohrig, now an athletic
goods salesman in Lincoln, also
agreed to participate. Rohrig, a
member of Nebraska's Rose Bowl
team, afterward played pro foot
ball with Green Bay.
Fred Lorenz, assistant coach at
Beatrice High School, who let
tered in 1945-'46-,47-'48, also will
be in the Old Timers lineup.
Player-oach Tom Novak an

Means and Dutch Meyer also have
accepted bids to play in the con

State Tournament
Second Day as A,
Tutors Upset
The state basketball tourney
took up right where the regionals
left off.
The Wednesday program was
filled with upsets and close shaves
as the carnival got underway.
The game between Teachers
College High and David City went
against the dope sheet all the way.
The Tutors one of the two top
contenders for the Class B title
evidently were trying to get to
the David City goal the fastest
way possible. They were called
for traveling continuously dur
ing the game.
David City was simply better
than anyone had expected as its
team racked up 48 points while
holding the Tutors to 44.
David City jumped into the
lead during the first two minutes
and were never behind after that
The halftime score was 24 to 22
in favor of the winners.
David City constantly stole the
ball away from the seemingly
paralyzed Tutors.
Fyfe at center and Coufal at
guard were the sparks in the
winner's attack. Fyfe was excel
lent in the rebounding depart
ment and led his team in scoring
with 16 points. Coufal canned 12
points and played an excellent
floor game.

Scrappy Jim Decker chipped in
