The intramural basketball tem
po increased Tuesday night as the
fraternity "A" and "B" tourneys
set the stage for their final con
tests while the Independents nar
rowed their tourney to the four
semi-nna lists. Wednesday will see
the two fraternity finals and the
independent semis. Thursday's
action wiu oe limited to the in
dependent finals and the all-Uni
versity title game is scheduled for
Friday between the independent
ana iraternity "A champions.
Seven of the eight Tuesday
contests went according: to
schedule. The eighth was a
lulu.
Sigma Phi Epsilon trailed Alpha
Tau Omega in all but the final
43 seconds of their semi-final S'A"
game and then produced five fast
points to shock the Taus into a
47-49 defeat and advance to the
"A" finals. The whole game
evoivea around that last 43 sec
onds. With less than a minute to
play and the ATO's on top by
a 47-44 count, SI? Ep Bill An
dersen nnleased a 30-foot heave
from dead cener Just as a Tan
defender rushed in to foul him.
The ball arched high and true
and the Sis Eps were but a point
behind. Awarded one free
throw in addition to the basket,
Anderson made it count and
the scoreboard read 47-47. An
derson was undoubtedly their
clutch man because those three
tallies rave him an evening's
Srrand total of four.
The Taus took the ball down
the floor and for 30 seconds
worked the ball in for a shot.
With 13 seconds remaining they
tried and failed and the Sig Eps
had the ball again. Down the
floor it went, from Curtis to
Svanda to Brandon to Al Han
son who leaped and fired the
sphere through the nets and the
game was over. Amid pande-
Paraplegics
Field Quintet
"No quarter was asked and none
was given. When a wheel chair
overturned, the veteran righted it
himself, crawled back in and got
back into the battle with a shout.
They crashed into each other and
into poles or stanchions with an
abandon that few able-bodied ath
letes would have permitted them
selves." This is a New York Times
description of the Flying Wheels,
the crack wheelchair basketball
squad of paraplegic war vet
erans, JO from World War II,
two from the current fighting in
Korea.
"The stdry of the Flying Wheels
is so simple it hurts." writes Red
Smith, New York Herald-Tribune
columnist. "Paraplegics, by def
inition, are guys who are paralyzed
from the waist down. As a result
of the last war there are 13,500 of
them in our veterans hospitals,
mostly the victims of a bullet in
the spine."
The Flying Wheels flew to
Norman, Okla., and played the
Kennedy Hospital Deadenders
earlier this season.
They are making a tour by
chartered plane, accompanied by
Coach Jacques Grenier, a doctor,
a registered nurse, staff of at-
tendants and by John B. Old,
former Oklahoman who is now
sports editor of the Los Angeles
Herald-Express which with the
Los Angeles Examiner is sponsor
ing the team.
The Flying Wheels won the na
tional wheel chair championship
in 1948 and 1950. They have won
32, lost 12 for .727 per cent. They
have traveled over 30,000 miles by
plane to play their schedule
against tough wheel chair round
ball opponents.

The ATO's were the masters
throughout the game until that
fateful end. At one time in the
fourth quarter they owned a
seven-point bulge and appeared
capable to keep it, if not in
crease it.
Al Hanson and Dave Brandon
took top scoring honors in the
game with 16 points apiece. Al
Blessing and Leo McKillip shared
top Tau totals with 13 apiece.
Bernie Scheer added another 12
to the losing effort while Kay
Curtis garnered eight for the win
ners.
The Sig Ep opponent in the
finals will be Sigma Alpha Ep
silon. The Sig Alphs fought off a first
and third-quarter effort on the
part of Delta Tau Delta and
romped to a 57-37 win. The Delts
narrowed the gap to five points at
one time in the third period on
a ten-point performance of George
Faynich, but the pace was too
quick and they quickly faded.
Gus Lebsock led the SAE's
in scoring with 22 counters fol
lowed by Bill Wenke with 14
and Don McArthur with 12.
Max Kennedy netted 14 for the
Delts with Paynich grabbing 13.
There was almost an upset in
the independent quarter-finals as
the Dental College Frosh gave M-
Street Boys a run for their money
before falling in the last 55 sec
onds, 31-33.
M-Street roared to an 8-1
first quarter lead before the
Dents realized the game was go
in?. From there it was a steady
struggle upward for the Frosh !
until they caught the unbeaten
M-Streets in the third stanza.
At that point the game de
veloped into a see-saw affair with
neither team owning more than
a two-point advantage until with
three minutes to go when the
Dents stretched to a three-point
margin on Gordon Pejsar's turn
shot, one of his three in the last
five minutes.
Dan Brown narrowed the gap
to one tally with a drive-in goal
with a minute and a half re
maining and Chuck Chamley
tied it up fifteen secoonds later
with a free toss. Jim Evans pro
vided the winning bucket with
55 seconds to go and the M
Streeters repelled the Dents'
follow-up threat win.
Pejsar topped the game's scorers
