The two teams hold down the two top spots in the final cage ratings of the year. The Geologists won it outright. They swept throuh a ten-game league schedule and then took everything the rest the leagues had to offer in the playoffs. They won their divisional title by 22 points, found their Roughest foe of the year in th denomina tional champion Ni n : Club, and then breezed ough the fraternity champions to take the All-U honors hands-down. Newman Club gets the second place nod over third place Phi t)elta Theta on the strength of the two teams' showings against the Geologists. The Catholics were not pressed all year except In that title game, a game their reserves lost to Presby House rot being considered. One Loss The Phi Delts tasted defeat only at the hands of the cham pions. Their record shows 15 wins to that loss. They copped the Fraternity "A" championship by being pressed only by Delta Tau Delta 8nd Sigma Phi Epsilon. Phi Delta Phi, the Independent runnerup, is the 1950-51 occu pant of fourth place. The lawyers saw a 15-1 game winning streak finally broken in the Independ ent finals by Geology. Sigma Phi Epsilon is the Uni versity's fifth place team. The Sig Eps ran a 12-game winning streak into the fraternity "Ah finals only to have it broken by Phi Delta Theta on the second attempt. The Warriors jump to sixth in the final ratings. They came out of a strong league as co-champions and then proceeded to im press everyone in the playoffs. They too were subdued by the TITLE GAME ....

Stars Seventh The Dorm A Stars are seventh. They won their league and then zoomed to the independent semi finals. They lost in that game to Phi Delta Phi in a 47-46 thriller. Sigma Nuggets the number eight spot. The Nu's played good ball after a shaky start and turned in one of the year's big gest upsets in the playoffs by dropping Phi Kappa Psi. Pioneer House and Lutheran Student Association round out the top ten in the final ratings. The Pioneers lost only one dur ing the year, that the Phi Delta Theta while the Lutherans closed fast and pressed Newman Club in the Denom finals, No fraternity "B" teams made the top ten due to the jumbled condition of those outfits after the playoffs. The Sig Ep Bees were not far off, however. The Sig Ep juniors copped the Bee crown to become the big surprise in the playoffs. The other finalist, Phi Gamma Delta is rated second with Sigma Chi, Alpha Tau Omega and Delta Up silon rounding out the first di vision. Following fourth place First "A" Pioneer House, come Phi Kappa Psi, Delta Tau Delta, Brown Palace, Sigma Chi, Corn husker Co-op and Norris House. Independently speaking, Alpha Sigma PPhi made a strong finish and rates the number five spot. Following the Alpha Sigs are the Phillips 33 crew, the Rinkydinks, City YMCA, Lilies and Dorm A Comets. 4 By Bill Mundell A grand total of 35 men re ceived mention today in the All University All-Intramural basket- hall listings. Pour tpams e1 five men. each and 15 men in honor able mention make up the 1951 grandaddy of all the All-Stars teams. .TnTYinin .TaMc Yelk-in nt t.Vie All. University champion Geologists leads the way this year as last. Jack Is the only repeater from last year's array of stars. Behind Yelkin at the center post come Jack Walentine of runner-up Newman Club and Bob Dwehus of Pioneer House at the forwards and Dave Graef of third place Phi Delta Theta and Mel wiuiams oi crown raiaee at the guard berths. So there thev are the five men who stand out head and shoulders above the rest of the field in intramural basketball this year according to the teams and piayers tnemseives. Players Seleet Team The entire selection was baH on the ballots turned in by the managers oi eacn team represent ing the votes for their top oppon ents during the year of play. Yelkin, a holdover from last years squad, is joined by Wil liams at guard who placed on the second team last season. Walen tine at forward, moves up also, coming from last year's third team. Graef was also mentioned last year in the honorable mention division while Dwehus Is the only man to make the team who was nowhere to be found last season at this time. Yelkin was practically a cinch to make it for the second straight year as the season progressed. He piled up point after point in each contest to thoroughly amaze his opponents. He received a first place vote on every ballot that came in from the teams he faced. Two Records Yelkin established two new scoring records during the year, he popped Che individual mark in the first round of the playoffs by pouring 56 counters through the meshes. His terrific effort in that contest helped him to establish a new All-U record in scoring for the year. His 346 points dur ing the year blasted the old mark by over a hundred points. And he wasn't just a scorer. He controlled the rebounds in every game, both offensively and defensively, and continually set his mates into position to score. Williams was another unani mous choice. He was one of the top ball-handlers in competition and Was thf hrninc HaMn4 I ' " a guuu jPalacer outfit. Although not pri marily a scorer, he did rank among the top ten in the frat di vision. Walentine Tops Top man in the Interdenomina- Only 12 Votes Absent in AIL Star Balloting Intramural basketball man agers and teams responded ad mirably in the voting for the four divisional and All - University basketball teams. A grand total of 74 ballots were received from the compet ing teams. And out of the pos sible 80 votes, that leftr only 12 outfits that didn't exercise their right to vote for their top oppo nents. A breakdown on the divisions saw only one Denom vote fail to come in, two Fraternity "B" votes were neglected, three in the fraternity "A" division and six in the Independent division. Ar Lars The Ag College league was the Independent division hindrance. Three out of that single league failed to turn in a ballot which is partially the explanation why no Ag College players made any of the teams. All of the Ag votes were vastly different, how ever, and thut was the real rea son no one man was named. The berths were assigned by per centages and not by total votes. Most of ballots contained the requested two teams and ten men although some contained fewer. Three ballots had the names of only one man as their vote. Two ballots tried to vote for more than ten men, but they were placed so the extras could be left out when counting. One team voted two of its own men on their second team vote and one team voted for one of its won members. These, of course, were left out In the final tabulation. A couple of votes added rec ommendations for men In differ ent divisions, having seen these men in action against other teams. These were appreciated, but not taken into consideration, in the final tabulation ' of the teams. One team sent in their ballot. stating this at the top: "We didn't face anybody that was worth a darn, but these were the five best, In the 74 votes, a total of 361 men received at least a second place vote. Only four men re ceived a unanimous vote from their opposing teams and only two cagers were nearly unani mous choices. It was a good buskotbull year and even better can be predicted for the future with such an In terest shown. 35 Sllir 06i ' I VSte r III llftillftllKSi JACK YELKIN . ... is the only repeater from last year's team. He was a unanimous choice for the center post. tion division and another unani mous choice to the All-U team is Walentine. He was by far the top scorer in that division and one of the calmest shooters and play ers in the league. Wally was an effective re- bounder for the Catholics, also. His stellar role under the boards gave the Newmanites approxi mately two shots for every one oi Tneir opponents. Graef holds down the fourth unanimous slot on the team. This Phi Delt scrapper led his mates to the All-U finals and to third place in the final standings. While far from being the top scorer, he was the man who made the Phi Delt plays work and his scoring did come into its own in the form of long shots when the Phi Delts really needed the points. In the close games, Graef was one of the Phi Delt top scorers. Dwehus at Forward Dwehus missed being an unani mous selection by only a hair. He was a first team choice on every ballot but one and took a second spot on that one. As it was, he was not pressed for the fifth spot on the All-University line up. Bob was the main cog in Pi oneer s successful season. Behind this whiz, the Pioneers rolled to Geologists Top Scoring Team; Catholics Next The . All-University champion Geologists were the hiehest scor ing team in intramural basketball this season just finished. The Geologists rolled up an amazing 866 points in the 15 games ac tually piayea for the .all-time high average of 57.8. Runnerup Newman Club was right behind the leaders with a 54.2 average. The Catholics scored 596 points in 11 actual contests. Phi Delta Theta, fraternity champions, was the top frater nity scoring machine. The Phi Delts amassed a total of 704 points in their 16 contests for a 44 point-per-game average. Delta Upsilon posted the top mark in the fraternity B" divi sion. The DU Bees notched 443 points in ten contests for a 36.9 average. The Sigma Chi Bees were right behind with 440 points in 12 games for an aver age of 37.6 at the season's end. Independent Phi Delta Phi was the only other outfit in action to post an average higher than 40 points-per-game. The lawyers scored 457 markers In 11 contests for a 41.5 average. Water-Cage Playoffs Get Rolling Today Water-Basketball playoffs get under way Monday. The deep water and shallow-water versions of the game both start their post season tourneys today. Eight teams in both tourneys will battle for their respective crowns. The eight were decided by the single round-robin league play just concluded. The deep-water play starts roll ing at 4:80 p.m. Powerful Student Union meets Sigma Alpha Epsilon in a first round battle at that time. At 5 p.m. Beta Theta PI and Alpha Tau Omega will clash in another deep-water contest. Phi Delta Theta will try to subdue Sigma Nu In a deep water clash, slated for 5:80 p.m. and Delta Sigma Phi and Phi Gamma Delta will round out the first round play Bt 6 p.m. The shallow-water tourney also gets rolling at 4:30 p.m. when Beta Sigma Psi meets Sigma Alnha Epsilon. At 5 p.m. Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Phi Epsilon will do battle followed at 5:30 p.m. by Beta Theta PI and Sigma Nu. A 6 p.m. contest between Phi Gamma Delta and Alpha Tau Omega will close the first round of the shallow-water play. The ATO's are the highest scor ing shallow-water outfit in com petition. The Thus hove amassed almost a 30 polrit-per-game aver-ago. IPS 11 consecutive victories before finally bowing to Phi Delta Theta in the playoffs. His shooting and rebounding were terrific as -he chalked up a 13-point average per game. He was rightfully named by his opponents to the top lineup. Another Catholic and another Phi Delt support Walentine and Graef by gaining a second team berth. Bob Kroenke of Newman Club and Chick Battey of the Phi Delts hold down the two for ward position on the second line up. Behind this pair is Bob Clark, stellar center of the Phillips 33 aggregation and a couple of hot shot guards in the persons of Clark Betske of Presby House and Ray Svehla of the Dorm A Stars. The third team lineup has Arved Christenson of Alpha Sigma Phi and Jerry Anderson of Phi Kappa Psi at forwards, ter rific Don McArthur of Phi Delta Phi at the center post and Ben Leonard of Sigma Chi B and Claire Johnson of the Lilies at guards. The fourth team is composed of Al Hanson of Sigma Phi Epsilon and Murl Maupin of Phi Gamma Delta "B" at forwards, Lee Stauf fer of the Lutheran Student As sociation at the center position and George Paynich of Delta Tau Delta and Neil Campbell of New man Club at the guard slots. The teams were made up not by position but by players. The top five men were placed on the first team regardless of position they played, because most of the players played at one or all posi tions during the year. In making up the teams, however, the five men on each team were placed in certain positions to make that team the most effective if they should ever take the floor to gether. Last year's All-University team had Jim Walsh of Sigma Phi Ep silon and Darrell Heiss of Farm House at forwards, Yelkin at center and Mack Robinson of Alpha Tau Omega and Woody Bohn of the Lutheran Student Association at the guards. All five boys were back m school again this year, but Yel kin was the only competitor. Heiss, Robinson and Bohn were all ruled ineligible in this year's action with the passing of the rule that states "a man who let ters in basketball at any institu tion above a high school shall be declared ineligible." Heiss won a letter at Wesleyan college and Bohn received a monogram at a school in Wis consin. Robinson was a letter winner here at Nebraska during the war years. Jim Walsh passed up intra mural competition this year to take a crack at higher things. He was on the Nebraska varsity cage squad all year. SO Softball Teams Enter; Start Tuesday Tuesday is the opening of the 1951 intramural softball season. On that day, 14 teams will clash to open what promises to be a "slam-bang" year on the dia monds. A total of 50 teams have been entered in this year's competition and have been divided into the three divisions, fraternity, Inter denominational and Independent. League play in eight leagues will determine the representatives of that league for the playoffs. The four top teams In each league will meet in their respective play off tourneys to determine a champion. The three divisional champs will then meet to deter mine an All-University champion. The playoffs are tentatively scheduled to begin on May 9 with 32 teams swinging into ac tion. Playoffs are a thing of the future at the present, however. Right now it's "Play ball!"

WaB jj pill ,, DAVE GRAEF .... holds down one guard berth on the All-U team. He is a Phi Delta Theta star. Jack Yelkin, stellar center oni the 1951 All-University champion Geologists, leads the way in the final tabulation of the scoring sta tistics on both counts. He topped all the cagers in points per game with an average of 24.7 counters, and led the field in total points scored with 346. Both marks are new scoring records in the intra mural round-ball sport. Jack Walentine of Newman Club and Chick Battey of Phi Delta Theta were the number two men in the two divisions. Walentine was second in the av erages with 17.2 points per con test while Battey's 253 points was second best in the total scored division. Don McArthur placed third in scoring by toting a 16.9 points per game average through the season. Bill Alexander of the Delta Up silon Bees ranked third in total scoring with 186 markers to his credit. Christensen and Maupin Number four men in scoring in the final All-University tabula tions are Arved Christensen of Alpha Sigma Phi and Murl Mau pin of Phi Gamma Delta "B". Christensen notched -a 16.3 aver age during the year of play and Maupin chalked up a total of 175 points. Battey and Walentine are to gether again in the number five positions, this time exchanging divisions. Battey's 15.8 average was good for fifth while Walen tine's 172 points took fifth place honors in that division. Bob Clark of Phillips 33 was the University's sixth man in points-per-game. Clark m a i n tained a 15.6 average through ten games. McArthur was sixth in to tal scoring, netting a year's total of 169. In figuring the averages for the final tabulation, only those men who competed in seven games or more were taken into considera tion. A couple of men like Ralph Meston of the Ag Student Center and Lynn Christensen of Phillips 33 could have easily broken into the upper brackets if they have played in more games. Six boys were declared ineli gible during the season and they were not taken into consideration either although they maintained good averages while in. The final scoring statistics: Newman Club was the only outfit to get more than one man mentioned in the top 15 aver ages in the University with Bob Kroenke placing fifteenth to Walentine's second. Both the Geologists and Dorm A Stars got two men in the total point division. Gene Carter join ed Yelkin and Cark Caley joined Ray Svehla. ALL-UNIVERSITY Aver" 1. Yelkin, Oeoloirlsts 24 7 2.
