Woter-Boskefboll Begins; Delfs, Tails Delta Sigs Win By Bock Ulin The season's intramural water basketball got under way Mon day and Tuesday evening. Many of the teams who had previously registered for the sport must have decided that it wasn't quite worth a ducking for there were four teams that forfeited their acclaim to water fame. AGR forfeited to Beta Sigma Psi, Sigma Chi beat Ag Men's Club without a splash, Beta Sigma Psi deep water dolphins took Alpha Tau Omega 1-0, and Beta Theta Pi took a forfeit from Alpha Gamma Eho in another deep water con test. Sfgma Alpha Epsilon got all wet as Alpha Tau Omega splashed to a 42-13 win. It seems that the Taus were dunking in so many points that the score keeper couldn't catch the swim mers who were responsible. Sig Eps Edge ' Sigma Phi Epsilon swam past Sigma Nu to a 25-21 victory. It was a close game all the way through but Sigma Nu was un able to douse Sig Ep's Russell as he flipped a high of 19 points. Next in line was Kratt, also of the Sig Ep's with nine. The losers' high flipper was Kaasch with eight Delta Tau Delta dropped their fins in the deep to take a 22-11 chiller from the " Men's Dorm. Johnson, the water bug for Delta Tau Delta, hit for 13 while team mate Hasse Brook grabbed four. Broughton and Siders, combined, scored for 10 of the 11 points that the Men's Dorm got. The final count was 21-10 as Phi Gamma Delta stroked ahead of Sigma ChL Bridge, of the Phi Games, swished the nets for 14. Morrow and Brook each got 4 for the losing Sigma Chi's. Union Romps Student Union floated to a 27-7 win over Delta Upsilon.

Balderson, Kilb, and Heffel finger all hit four. Satterfield was high for the losers with three. Beta Theta Pi barely squeezed past Phi Gamma Delta 27-25. The Betas' ducked and dodged to a early 9-2 lead. They remained ahead until the third quarter when Oldson evaded the would be goalies and potted a basket that put the Phi Gam's ahead 17-15. The Beta swimming at tack was too great the final pe riod as they forged ahead by two points. Two boys for the Beta's each scored eight; oddly enough both names were An drews. Olson dropped in 13 for the Phi Gams. Win Easily Delta Tau Delta must have held Phi Delta Theta under most of the time for the final count was 38-4.

G W B 99 Goloeiisfs Itin Flii Fr All-Universfty Fraternity Champs Bow in Free Scoring 72-63 Game 1S The Geologists are the 1951 All-University basketball cham pions. A well-rounded band of Geologists blasted fraternity "A" champ, Phi Delta Theta Wednes' day night, 72-63 to take the cov eted title. In the highest scoring cham pionship game in history, the Geology men and Phi Delta' ex changed basket for basket once they got warmed up, And everybody got plenty of points. Three of the new cham pions tallied over ten points while four Phi Delts equalled that feat. After the fourth quarter got under way, it was really no con test at all although the Phi Delts had not given up hope. The Geologists were on the long end of a 57-51 count going into the final ten minutes and within a minute and a half more they had upped that score to 64-53. Semi-Stall Then the victors went into a sort of semi-stall and still al most matched the frantic Phi Delts in points the rest of the way out. The Champions jumped to an early 9-0 lead on baskets by Gene Carter, Lee Korte and Jack Yelkm. Tom Ledmgham finally broke the scoring ice for the Phi Delts with a looping hook shot after 5:15 minutes had elapsed. Finding their hitting eyes, the Phi Delts rallied to a 15-11 first quarter score on two long shots by Dave Graef and three free throws by Chick Battey. The losers came into their own the second period. With Graef connecting on four beau tiful long shots and Bill Farmer, sinking three nice shots from the corners, the Phi Delts roared in to the lead with -only a minute remaining. One-Point Edge Carter and Yelkin kept the Geologists in the game through out this period, getting three two-pointers apiece. The victors slipped two markers through the Courtesy Lincoln Journal-Star HOBE JONES will also be among the absent in outdoor track competition this spring as he reports for active duty with the air guard on April 1.

Oklahoma received the award last year and Iowa State got the first one in 1949. Wildcats Face Arizona in Opening Game Kansas State will ne represent ed by one of the nation's hottest shooting and hardest running clubs irr the NCAA western reg ional tournament which started Wednesday at Kansas City, but its opening foe, Arizona, also had a mighty potent scoring record. The Border conference Wild cats finished their regular sea son with a 24-4 record and a league total of 15-1. Kansas State, the nation's third ranking team, according to United Press, mowed down 21 of 24 opponents and ended with a 11-1 record in the Big Seven. Both teams set identical scor ing records In their drive tor the coveted NCAA tournament berths. Arizona tallied a total of 1958 in their 28 games, the high est in the university's history, for a 69.9 per-game average. K State had 1654 points for the same average which not only was a school record, but a Big Seven mark as well. Defensive Edge. The Kansas Wildcats have the edge, though, in defense where they held opponents to an av erage of 52 points per game. Arizona foes clipped the cords for a 54.2. average. Coach Jack Gardner's KSC club served notice last week that it will make a determined bid for the national bunting by blast ing Illinois, winner of the Big Ten, 91-72, in a tournament warmup g a m e here. Eleven K-Staters scored as Gardner cleared his bench to keep the game from turning into a com plete route. Arizona didn't fare so well In its pout-season NCAA prelimin ary effort. The Border loop club bowed 74-68 to Dayton in its Tournament uine. nets just before the half ended to ride into the intermission one point to the good, 34-33. Any doubt the fans had about the two outfits maintaining their scoring orgy was soon dissolved as the contenders took right up where they left off. Yelkin grabbed two quickies from under the basket, while Battey countered with a couple of loopers. Harvey Bettenhau sen, whose overtime shot against Newman Club gave the Geolo gists the right to meet the Phi Delts, hit a nifty one-handed push shot and Gene Carter hooked another two-pointer but Ledingham contributed two fielders himself and the margin remained the same. Yelkin Adds Six Yelkin was the difference in the next three minutes as "Jump in' Jack" netted himself six points, two baskets from under neath and one from the corner. Ledingham, Farmer and Graef each added three in that order for the losers but Geologist Car ter was the thorn in the bush here as he sank three equalizers, all beautiful shots. . Louie Roper had a couple of points up his sleeve just before the end of the stanza, but Don Mahacek had the rebuttal for this and coughed up a couple of his own. Then came the fateful fourth and the Phi Delts were licked. Yelkin, Korte and Bettenhousen each got a basket in a hurry and then settled for free throws from there on in. Graef kept pecking at the Phi Three Win Trip to Big 7 Meet Three University of Nebraska students will journey to Law rence, Kansas for the Big Seven table tennis tournament on April 6 and 7. Jack Cohen, Ed Sarki sian. and John O'Neal were vic torious in the round robin tourna ment. Jack Cohen, Table Tennis club president, won four of his five matches, losing only to Ed Sarki- sian. Cohen was also winner of the University intramural ping pong tournament last January. Ed Sarkisian was also victor ious in four of his five contests. Carl Fahrenbach was the only player to trip Sarkisian in the tournament. John O'Neal took three of his five matches, having dropped matches to both Sarkisain and Cohen. The semi finals were held March 14 and the top three men in each bracket battled it out. Representing the first bracket was Cohen, Fahrenbach, and Don Jensen. The other bracket final ists were Sarkisian, O'Neal, and Don Thackery. These men topped the tournament entrant total of 17. Kansas University will be host for the first tournament and it is hoped that this will become an annual affair in the conference. Stone Climbs In KS Scoring Jumpin' Jack Stone, the mus cled Kansas State forward who set a new school individual sin gle game scoring record of 29 points last week against Illinois, has moved into second place in the scoring column. The Los Angeles, Calif., senior was practically unstoppable in the 91-72 shellacking of the Big Ten champion Illini. He hit 13 out of 20 tosses from the field and added three free" throws to better the old 28-point mark held Jointly by Frank Groves and Dave Weteherby. Stone, who performs best when the going is the toughest, has steadily been improving his shooting and is second only to sub-guard Bob Rousey with a 45 percent ield goal average. Rousey, who is sixth in scoring, has hit 46 percent of all his tries from the field. Delt meshes in the final seven minutes and bagged four more points. Farmer, Roper and Bat tey all had one more field goal to add to the losing total but it was to no avail. Yelkin and Graef each led their respective outfits in scor ing. Yelkin topped them all with a magnificent 29-point ef fort while Graef 's 18 counters all came from far out. Gene Carter was right behind Graef when the final buzzer sounded. Carter wound up the evening with a 17-point total. Three men each tallied 12 markers for the Phi Delts. They were Tom Ledingham, Bill Farm er and Chick Battey. Betten hausen of the winners was the seventh man to garner over ten points as he meshed 11.

Sharp Issues Call to Freshmen Baseball Coach Tony Sharpe announces that an important meeting will be held March 28 for all freshmen interested in coming out for frosh baseball at 7:30 p.m. in the lecture room of the Field House. Sharpe believes that frosh par ticipation will greatly increase a player's ability to make the var sity in future years. Western Loop Frosh Eligible The Big Ten conference has voted in favor of allowing fresh man to compete in varsity ath letics, beginning Sept. 1. On Monday the faculty repre sentatives and athletic directors voted at their closing two-day session to lift the ban which had been in effect since 1946. In 1943 freshmen were de clared eligible to help make tip the manpower shortage due to the war. The Western confer ence's action now to retsore first-year-men to varsity sports fol lows along the same lines. The suspension of the fresh men rule was lifted to the 1951 52 period but can be continued if the emergency calls for it. Au thorities said male attendance at Big Ten universities may decline as much as 30 per cent rext fall because of the draft of young men Into military service. Big: Seven The Big Seven, the Pacific Coast, and other major collegiate groups have made freshmen eli gible, and now the Big Ten is getting into the act. Kenneth Little, Wisconsin, fac ulty spokesman, said athletes who had enrolled in school the second semester of the current term would become eligible after Sept 1, although they have not completed their freshman terms. He also said that junior college transfers probably will be exempt from the year's residence require ment. The Big Ten was forced to take this action because high school star athletes were being attracted by schools which had already lifted the ban. Many prep athletes will be good enough to step right in and take over varsity roles during their freshman year.
