"It's going to be a long row to
hoe" was the unanimous cry after
the first night of intramural bas
ketball playoff action came to a
close Monday. A total of 19 games
rendered a decision before the
curtain was rung down on most
of the first-round struggles and
most of these caused the eyebrows
to climb a notch.
The "easy victories" Just
towards the end of the third
stanza as Ted Connor and Ben
Leonard found the range to shoot
them into a 30-23 lead. After
Larry Dunning opened the fourth
with a long looper, the Sigs had
it in the bag, they thought.
The nine-point Sigma Chi ad
vantage lasted exactly four min
utes. During this interval,, the
winners were held without a
counter as the Pioneers, with re
newed vigor climbed into a 32-
then they and Theta Chi sizzled
the nets in a S8-53 Phi Psi vic
tory. Behind the 23-polnt effort of
Fred Longacre, upstart Theta Chi
gave the leaders a battle royal.
They owned their early eight
point advantage and then watched
the winners gain e pair of leads
of 12 points, but fought back to
within range each time.

saw their supposed runaways
shrink into meager victories. A
couple of strong favorites put
way their basketballs for another
year.
Confident Sigma Chi and Sigma
Phi Epsilon ran into a pair of
buzz-saws in the form of Pioneer
House and Beta Sigma Psi and
managed to pull out wins in the
final minutes. Top-ranked i Phi

Theta Chi threw everything at
each other but the playing floor

perhaps the feature game of the
tourney. Feature perhaps, but no
more exciting than what was pro

Sigma Phi Epsilon found the
"easy" half of the bracket too hot
for comfort. Beta Sigma Psi al
most provided the upset of the
year as they forced the Sig Eps to
come from behind in the final
minutes and stall their way to
victory, 43-39.
Behind the nine and six-point
efforts of Bill Renner and Oliver

who led the ratings going into the

two points in the opening frame

Charles Betzelberger was the big
gun for the winners, getting a 13

Doug Innes was all the Pi Kaps

Is there really too much emphasis P"t or. college athletics
or are there just too many people who arc looking for an , argu
ment' Since when docs one par-e of sports news printed in ,8
Jchoo'l newspaper tend to turn the whole college's eyes towards
Dorts activities and emphasize an institutions sports?
I am referring specifically to the article which appeared in The
Dailv Naskan lJ month stating the snd case of the Univcrsi y
S Toronto disbanding their school sports page to de-emphasize
a tPOrExpressinR my own ideas on the subject with absolutely no
reflection on Anyone else on the sports staff, I consider the entire
case in most instances u.s childish. .
Ever since the basketball scandals two years ago there seems to
be . general tendency to condemn a school who wins a champion
ishiD or some major national title.
P Naturally when a conch puts a team on. the field he wan to
his bunch of boys to develop into one of the nation's best. Is th s
season enough to condemn a whole school for too much emphasis
! nThJvc absolutely nothing against the policy which the Toronto
newspaper decide! on but it was just another of a long line of actions
designed to de-emphnsize sports and it's time that some definite
conclusion be reached arout the matter .
It has been hashed over time and time again with the same
hing befng S every time. Naturally the first thing a student
comes to college for is an education, but there Is also knowledge in
participating in extra-curricular activities including athletics.
P Mos men at one time or another glance at the sports page
if for no other reason than to see how the local team is doing.

You can never tell what the outcome of any sporting event will
be until the final moments arc over. Of course there are always
the favorites and underdogs but every once in a while there is an
exhibition which the fans remember season after season. Such is the
case of NU's fine finish in the Big Seven Indoor Championships.
After the first days competition NU was expected to fight it
out with Colorado and Missouri for the sixth position but clutch
performances by the Huskcrs nabbed the team third place after a
