    M-Streeters Beat Newman
By BILL MUNDELL
Intramural Sports Columnist
One more team dropped from
the select group of the unbeaten
intramural basketball teams
Thursday night as the M-Street
Boys defeated Newman Club for
the All-Unaffillated champion
ship of 1952. Both clubs were un
defeated going into the finals,
M-Street with 16 straight wins
and the Catholics with 13 con
secutive victories.
The M-Streeters threw a fast
passing game at the Newmanltes
in the third quarter to over
take a big Catholic lead and
Win, 41-35.
Newman Club was master all
the way in the first half. Although
the margin at halftime favored
them only 21-17, the Catholics
seemed far superior of the two
teams as they outshot, out
jumped and out-fought the
M-Streeters. I
Newman's Bill Griffin and
Bob Kroenke controlled the
boards the entire game, but only
in that first half did it hold
the "Boys" scoring; down. On
" the strength of-that rebound
ing and the deadeye firing of
Charlie Gasson and Bob
Decker, the Catholis owned an
eight point margin on three oc
casions in the initial half.
M-Street figured it out during
intermission. Beginning at the
second-half tip-off, they began to
fire the ball at a torrid pace and
never gave the Newman defense,

Although at Bruce - coached
Oklahoma basketball team finally
fell below .500 per cent in con
ference championship play, its
happened less to him than to any
other coach in the Big Seven.
Oklahoma's coach turned out 13
straight teams at Norman, win
ning or trying for the Big Six or
Big Seven title six times and
playing in the NCAA finals once,
before he finally handled a club
that dipped below .500 per cent.
All the other Big Seven coaches
underwent the experience long
before Drake did, most of them
several times, too.
Doctor Allen coached 11 straight
Kansas teams from 1908 to 1928
before he finally handled a loser,
his 1929 club finishing 2-8 for .250
per cent. Stalcup's first below
.500 team came in his fourth year
at Missouri but Gardner of Kansas
State and Good of Nebraska suf
fered theirs tn their first seasons
at Manhattan and Lincoln. So
Drake's feat of having headed it
off until his 14th seasons is tops
in that department, too.

Future major league baseball prospects are anything but bril
liant in light of the presert number of large gate attracting per-!
sonalities dropping from the game. With such all-time greats as
Joltin' Joe DiMaggio hanging up their gloves and spikes, fans are
wondering what will become of America's polished diamond sport
Father Time has overtaken the great Yankee Clipper, but an
other major factor in the disappearance from the ranks of baseball
bigs is the call to arms by our own Uncle Sam. The great Ked Sox
left fielder, Ted Williams, who for so many years boosted Fen
way's gate receipts, now faces recall into the Marines.
The 6tory is generally disheartening to those who will always
remember such pennant winners as the Yankees and St. Louis
Cardinals as perfect timing, triple-play, veteran competitors. Yet
all hope is not completely erased for the ardent baseball fan if he
will realistically recognize the limitations of age and patriotic duty.
Such brilliant newcomers to the big league ranks as Gil Me
Dougald, and Mickey Mantle, Yankee inflelder and outfielder,
respectively; Jim Bnsby, Chicago White Sox outfielder; and Joe
Rivera, St Louis Brownie outfielder should afford patrons some
extra sparkling performances both in the field and at the plate.
All in all, baseball fans must accept the fact that with the pass
ing of the game's present generation of all-time greats, the possi
bilities of a dynamic new star-studded era eome into view.
Collier's Picks Bucky
A Bouquet of "All-American Beauty" Roses to Jim Buchanan
for grabbing All-America honors on Collier's District Five NCAA
all-star team. Buck's selection as a first string guard places him
with such notables as Clyde Lovellette, Kansas All-America center;
Bill Stauffer of Missouri, who, incidentally, set a new all-time
Tiger scoring record of 31 points in one game against Nebraska
this season; Jim Iverson, Kansas State; and Don Johnson, Oklahoma
A&M
Buchanan, who established a new all-time seawn'a scoring
record for the Husker five, deserves considerable acclaim for his
feat, since as a six-foct guard he has been placed along side some
of the local giants of the game. Iverson. K-State's five feet. uyt

Baseball Prospects Hopeful

The firing of Chuck Chamley
In the third period broke the
Newman back as Chamley
dunked a total of ten counters.
Going into the final period the
score read 3227 for M-Street
and four minutes later they
owned a 39-29 bulge. ,
M-Street's late stall was not ef

it was more than good enough to
hand them the championship.
Chamley's third-quarter splurge
gave him the individual scoring
honors in the contest with a to

...But Lose To Sig Alphs
By BILL MUNDELL
Intramural Sports Columnist
Intramural basketball rang
down the curtain on its 1951-52
season Friday night as Sigma
Alpha Epsilon added the All-University
championship to its other
laurels. In defeating the Indepen
dent title-holder, the M-Street
Boys, the Slg Alphs eliminated the
last unbeaten team in competition
this year.
The Slg Alphs romped, 61-37,
with only the first quarter a
touch and go affair. Sigma
Alpha Epsilon was never behind
and except for three places in
the initial period where the
score was tied, they were on the
long end of the scoring.
The tally was tied at 2-2, 3-3
and 4-4 before the victors went
ahead to stav. After the first
quarter the score stood at 11-7.
A poor second period finished
the M-Streeters. Stuck with
their seven points for almost
eight minutes of that stanza,
the M-Streeters could get the
ball to the hoop but not through
it. Meanwhile the Sig Alphs
were running up 14 points.
Halftime score was recorded as
25-9.
M-Street began to hit in the
third period and threatened to
overtake the champions on several
occasions. Twice they pulled to
within seven points and once to
within five tallies.
The SAE's were not to be de
nied, however and just before the
end' of the period hit six consecu
Caterpillars After Bucky
Jim Buchanan, Nebraska's
recording-breaking senior bas
ket ball star, received a tele
gram from the Peoria Cater
pillar basketball club saying
they are definitely interested
in Bucky.
The telegram read: "Please
wire whether or not yon are
interested In an interview fol
lowing the current season. If
you are interested, we can ar
range an interview."
Buchanan wired back that
"an arranged interview would
be appreciated." "Now," says
Jim. "I'm waiting for the ar
rangements to come."
The Caterpillars have such
star-studded team members as
George Lafferty and the Big
Seven's Dan Pippin and -Marcus
Friebuerger. The Peoria
club is a member of the Na
tional Industrial Basketball as
sociation. Asked what his plans were
with Phillips 6C, Bucky re
plied, "I'd probably take the
Phillip's offer if I have to
choose between the two."
Buchanan's plan calls for a
two-year army sentence after
which he will return to the
maples.
