Intra-Basketball Season Results
Lists Phi Delts On Top Leaque
By Cart Cluff
Intramural sports came back to
the University of Oregon campus
after a wartime layoff of several
years to assume its usual spot on
the campus spoils program dur
ing the winter term. Under the
direction of Paul R. Washke, di
rector of intramural sports, bas
ketball and handball topped the
term schedule.
The Greeks copped first place in
the casaba league when Phi Delta
Theta walked off with both the
“A” and “B” league titles. The
fraternity lads developed two
smooth-running ball clubs and es
tablished an unbeaten record for
the season.
Salstrom Paces
The Phi Dolt "A" team was
paced by former all-stater Eddie
Salstrom of Salem. The slick little
guard was the team’s high point
man for the season and also gar
nered a position on the Emerald
all-intramural team.
In winning their “A” league title
the Greeks won a close contest
fiom the independent Bums 24 to
18. The Bums, playing their second
game in as many days, were able
to rack up but three points in the
final quarter. Bad passing and poor
floor work contributed greatly to
the defeat suffered by the inde
pendents.
The Phi Delt “Bees” grabbed the
junior division trophy with a 19 to
17 victory over the Alpha Tau
Omega Hilltoppers in the final
round of competition. A 15-15 score
at the completion of the regular
playing time put the game into a
three-minute overtime period.
Stevenson Shines
Jim Stevenson, Phi Delt center
was the hero of the game when he
whipped the ball out of the hands
of a Hilltopper and rushed the
length of the court to sink a lay
in that put the Phi Delta ahead
by two points with a minute and
20 seconds remaining. Stevenson’s

Delts will match baskets with the
writers tomorrow morning at 10
in the Igloo. oBth clubs are un

Delts will field a quint composed
of men from both the “A” and “B”
squads.
The high flying scribblers
collected easy triumphs over
the Taw school and the Oregon
State Barometer crew. Satur
day’s contest is expected tow
determine the unofficial cam
pus championship. Odds great
ly favor the Phi Delts.
Rambling Roster
The pencil-and-paper lads will
revolve their attack again around
K>\ “Scoop” Hume and Chuck
“Flash” Taylor. Other “talent” in
cludes the following roster of
names: Marty Pond, Walt Yoder,
Duke Dennison, Ox Wilson, Bill
McClennan, Larry Lau, Milt
Sparks, Carl Cluff and Bob Reed.
Playing-coaches Len Turnbull and
Fred Beckwith will be on hand to
enter the fray if the going gets
tough.
In a mid-week interview, Turn
bull commented: “Now that my
editing thesis is in, and my swol
len ankle normal, I can devote full
attention to this business of mak
ing with the points. This one is a
tough match for our boys. In view
of the tremendous odds, Fred Beck
with and I have instructed the
boys to go on a strict diet of nec
tarine juice!” Beckwith, the other
half of the terrible twosome,”
declined to comment on the pros
pects of the casaba clash.
Meanwhile the Phi Delt camp
was a scene of frenzied action. It
was hoped that Ed Devaney’s Navy
leave would be extended a week,
but the former frosh star returned
to duty in the nick of time. Cagers
Abbey, Salstrom, Stevenson and
Hoff went through strenuous mid
week drills, that is, when they did
n’t take time out for golf.
Official Selected
Tentatively scheduled to referee
the game are Ed “Twfeet-tweet”
Allen and Ab “Boo-boo” Wilson.
Interested spectators are invited to
attend the proceedings. Those who
cheer for the Phi Delts will iJfe
charged 10 cents admission, and
