Intramural Game
Rundowns
independents - Globespotters
In the opening game of the 1950
intramural basketball season, the
Qtobeopotters, one of the highly
favored teams this year, lived up
to their advance billing by taking
the Independents, who had just
gottsn their team formed a few
days before. The Independents
pietde a good battle out of it, how-
fftfttr, as they held the taller Globe-
spbtters to a slim margin almost
the whole game. John Paul Schultz
ted the scorers for the night with
16 points. Dewald Was high for
the Independents with 10. Weldon
Mays and Ted Bare officiated.
Ministers - Kappa Sign
In the second game of the open-
ing night, the Kappa Sigs, another
Highly-touted five, won out over
the Preachers in a very poorly
played game.
Neither team could seem to find
the range, and a brief scoring
apree late in the fracas was the
Redding factor for the Greens.
Leading scorer for the night whs
big George Frank with 12 points.
Myers led the Ministers ,i 6.
KA - PIKA
. Tuesday night saw the Kappa
Alpha red team eke out a 32-28
win over the last year’s runner-
up, the PiKAs.
It was also a loosely-played
game, and the score was tight
throughout. The PIKAs jumped
to an early lead only to see the
KAs come from behind to ice the
Victory.
~ .Hottest man for the night was
the PIKAS Weldon Mays, who
kept them in the game with 17
tamsq for the night
High men for the KAS were Lee
Folse with 14 and Bob' Koenig
with 9.
Phi Delta Theta - Independent
/.After dropping their first tilt,
tk£ Independents got red-hot
Tuesday night to trample the Phis
td;«M tune Of 46-25.
, 'Tht independents controlled the
backboards inipst of the time and
miffs their shots count. Dewald
was again high point man for the
Bertm and tor the night with 12
points. He was closely followed,
however, by the Phis Jimmy
Hiinsd-with ll and teammate
il|t Millar with 10.
KA - Globeepotters
Wednesday saw the most hotly
contested game of the week, and
probably one of the most hotly
contested of the season, as the
Globespotters, behind the superb
firing of Buddy Priest, edged a
fighting KA team 45-44.
The tilt was air-tight the whole
way, with the Globespotters main-
taining a slim lead most of the
time.
Following Priest, who made 19
points for the night, were Mac
H&mmond with 12, and Bob Koen-
ing and John Paul Shultz with 11
each.
The only drawback of the game
was the large number of fouls that
were called, three players fouling
out before the final whistle.
Ministers - Independents
For the entire first half, the
Ministerial team had things going
their way, but then the roof caved
in. An inspired Independent squad
began hitting shots from all over
the court and, with the help of
big Red Miller, began controlling
all the rebounds.
Miller played only the last half,
but emerged as the top scorer of
the night with 18 points. Close
on his heels in one of the top-
scoring games of the week were
Dewald of the Barbs with 16 and
Patterson and Cavness of the
Ministers with 14 apiece. Final
score, 56-48.
PIKA - Phi Delta Theta
In the second game Thursday
night, the Phis had a fairly easy
time subduing the PIKAs to the
tune of 42-34; High point man for
the night, though, was Woozy
Dibrell of the Golds who netted
16 points.
Jimmy Howard waul again high
point man for the Phis with 18.
Harris contributed 8 points for the
winners and Parmalee made 9 for
the PiKAs. ,
Phi Delta Theta - Ministers
A victory-hungry Phi Delta
Theta team wouldn’t be denied
Friday night as they used their
height to a good advantage In
downing the Ministers and rack-
ing up their second victory in as
many nights.
It was the third loss for the
Preachers, who have been having
trouble with tall men all week.
Jimmy Howard, who promises to
be one of the top players of this
Hooray!
We’ve Started!
That slliy racket you’ve been
hearing lately coming from the
direction of West Gymnasium has
been the begumtag of another
happy little Ultra mural past-tune,
basketball. The seven teams en-
tered all got to see plenty of action
during the first week, several of
the teams playing as many as
three games. Many of the open-
ing tilts had surprising results,
but it left the two geherally fa-
voted teams in a first-place dead-
lock.
The Kappa Sigs, who have been
doing a lot of outside intra mural
playing, and the Globe-spotters,
who haven’t dropped a game yet,
are tied in the top slot with two
victories apiece.
Close behind them are a pair of
eurprisers, the Phi Delta Thetai
and the Independents, who have
each won two gamed and lost one.
Since the intramural tournament
is going to be a double round-rob-
in, however, it’s a little early ifti
the season to start making any
concrete decisions, ’cause any-
thing can happen.
Folowing are the seasons stand-
ings and the remaining schedule
for the first round-robin:

Southwest
Conference Stiff
In A Mess
Most any onlooker you ask will
not hesitate in the least admitting
that this season of besketbail in
the Southwest Conference has
been the zaniest, most hotly con-
tested, and least predictable of
any before. Arkansas, -one of the
pre-season favorites, has finally
managed to work their way tsojthe
top of the heap, thanks to an un-
called for victory by the ldwiy
Steers of TU over the powerful
SMU Mustangs.
The second upset of last week
was Rice’s startling 62-52 victory
over the Texas A&M five, which
virtually eliminated the Aggies
from Title contention. Still con-
sidered in the running are Arkan-
sas, SMU, TCU and Baylor.
. This weeks action, however,
promises to thin out the hopefuls
considerably. Arkansas plays SMU
and Rice, and TCU meet Baylor
and A&M.
‘ Tom Hamilton, Joe McDermott,
Paul Mitchell, and Jewell1 Mc-
Dowell are still waging th^ir four-
way battle for the Conference
scoring championship. Hamilton is
leading presently with about a 16-
point per game average.

The majority of La horde trips
center around the International
Summer School conducted by the
University of Innsbruck and the
Austrian League of the United Na-
tions at Mayrhofen in Austria (ac-
cepted under the O. L Bill). These
trips ate for students and teachers

the beautiful setting of the Tyrol-
ian Alps. Teachers and students
from seventeen European countries

ery sammer since 1947 for the lively
and varied program of study, music,
lectures and performances in hik-
ing, fishing, tennis, swimming, rid-
ing, folk-dancing and singing,
1 excursions to nearby Oberammergau
for the Passion Play and to Salt-
burg for the music festivals. Last
year the members of Laborde groups
were the first Americans to Join the
representatives of other nations la
Mayrhofen. There is also a special
trip this coming summer hated on

ma and Opera at the Motarteum in
B aiming.
Another trip gives a week Hi

versity of Caen in Normandy. Here,

er courses for teachers and students
of Trench at the university summer

on French history, literature, eco-
nomics and music by distinguished

Saint-Michei, Rouen, and other plac-
es in Normandy where medieval and
modem history has been made. Mem-
bers of this trip will live in the Cite
Universitaire Or with French fam-
ilies in Caen.
After tho end of the summer ses-
sions at Maythofon and Chen, those
who wish to travel independently at
their own expense before returning
with the group, ora free to do so.
Next summer Laborde Travel Ser-
vice is also offering a trip to the
Scandinavian countries, England,
Holland and Francs with a holiday
course in Copenhagen, including
field trips, to farms, factories, mod-
em housing developments.
