Kappa Sigma, Fijis, , Phi Delts Triumphant In Intramural Frays Two rough and tumble affairs and a run away were featured in today’s quarter finals as the Kap pa Sigs, Phi Delta,and Fijis ad vanced to semi final berths in the ‘B’ playoffs. Chi Psi joined the sel ect group via a bye. In the opening encounter, the Kappa Sigs slipped by Sigma Al pha Mu, 22-20. The game was a hard fought tussle throughout, with both sides displaying both ragged and smooth basketball. The taller Millrace boys pulled away to a 13-8 half time edge, and settled down to the task of staving off the fast closing Sammies. The men from Alder street crept up to a two point deficit, but time and I IT'S j ICE CREAM Weather Again! TRY Our Delicious CONES | SHAKES !

Playing before a packed gym in the second game of the afternoon, the Phi Delts beat the Sigma Nus in a 23-22 squeaker. It was the roughest game of the season. With the game only a few minutes old, both t.eams began fouling frequent ly, and continued it throughout the contest. Moving out to an 11-8 halftime bulge, the Phi Delts threw up a strong defense to lead 20-14 in the third quarter. At this point, the 11th Streeters found themselves, and drew to a 20-18 debit on two quickies by Tom Brumbaugh. The game became even rougher, and was climaxed by the ejection of Dick Morse, fireball Phi Delt guard, for extreme roughness. A missed Sigma Nu lay in was the deciding factor as the Phi Delts stalled out the remaining seconds. In the final g'hme of the day, Fijis overwhelmed Omega Hall, 31 5. With a lead of 15-4 at the half, the Fijis kept the game safely in the locker. High man for the win ners was Lolly with nine points. Rumors At Santa Clara SANTA CLARA, .Cal.—(UP) — Dennis Heenen, director of ath letics at Santa Clara University, today said that he “hoped” the school would be able to name a new football coach within 10 days. Meanwhile, rumors continued to crop up among the prospects. Among the latest is Johnny Druze, end coach for Notre Dame, who is supposed to be interested in the post made vacant when Len Cas anova accepted a head coaching job at Pittsburgh University.

He will meet with all varsity and freshman track aspirants at 4 p.m. in the track locker room at McArthur Court. Bowerman, who will probably field one of the finest track crews in years, will outline plans for the forthcoming cinder season. There will also be a meeting at 7 p.m. this evening of all inter-organizational track coaches to set up plans for an all school tourney. The conference is slated for Bowerman’s office on the main floor of McArthur Court. I PAUL SOWERS, always a crowd favorite at McArthur Court, played his last basketball game for the University of Oregon here Saturday as the Webfoots pasted Oregon State, 45-50. Paul has risen to moments of greatness, even inc.redability, while performing for the Lemon and Green. His one-handed pusher has come to be the Sowers’ trade mark among Oregon basketball fans. Mermen Off For ND Swim Championship The University of Oregon’s var sity swimming team will board a plane at 5:00 p. m. tomorrow eve ning and will head for Pullman, Washington, where the Northern Division championship meet will be held Friday and Saturday. Coach John Borchardt, Manager Paul Dahlquist, and nine team members will make the trip. Ore gon will be represented in the breaststroke by Joe Nishimoto, Rod Harman, and Dick Ruckdes chel; in the backstroke by Stan Hargrave; in the freestyle by Louis Santos, Bill Vannatta, George Balch, and Wade Hanson; and by Nishimoto in the individual medley. Jim Stanley will attempt to re tain his Northern Division diving crown, won at Eugene last spring, and he also will hold a position on the 400-yard freestyle team. Oregon, Oregon State, Washing ton, Washington State, Idaho, and Montana will participate in the meet, and the latter three schools will be seeking their first Northern Division titles. However, the meet is rated as a tossup between the Washington Huskies and the Wash ington State Cougars. The Huskies upset WSC 61-23 earlier this year, but Coach Gibbs’ Cougars should do much better at Pullman. Ore gon is expected to finish in third place. Two Oregon men, George Balch and Co-Captain Bill Vannatta, will be wearing the Duck colors for the last time. Both men have per formed very satisfactorily in the 50-yard freestyle this season, and they will be striving to place in their final meet. Louis Santos is expected to have a close battle with Husky Van Smith, who defeated the Oregon star by half a second in the 100 yard freestyle last Saturday. HilltoppersNab UpsetTrackWin A high-flying- Alpha Tau Omega track team turned in the biggest upset of the inter-organizational track season Tuesday when they overwhelmed a strong Kappa Sigma crew, 33-26, in the unfinished area of McArthur Court. Probably the biggest individual upset was registered when Dick Parker, ATO, defeated Jack Coun tryman, Kappa Sigma, in the 40 yard dash. Parker tied the old rec ord of 4.6 seconds established by Countryman earlier in the season. Chet Noe, Kappa Sig, was another heavy favorite who didn’t come through. The Hilltoppers’ Wayne Shaw defeated Noe in the shot put event with a heave of 41.8 feet. The ATOs will meet Sigma Chi Thursday at 4 p.m. in the unfinished area, to decide the championship. Tuesday’s results: Sot put—Shaw (ATO); Mosltof sky (ATO); Noe (KS). Winning distance—41.8. Broad jump—Timms (KS); Brai nard (ATO); Jones (ATO). Winn ing distance—18-10.

By MARTY WEITZNER Spring training starts again, life is worth living once more, and here we go with some more rookies. The Chicago White Sox have come up with what they believe is one of the finest of a fine crop of young stortstops. Their jewel is Alfonso Carrasquel, a 24-year old Latin American whom they lib erated from Forth Worth of the Brooklyn farm system. Carras quel, a tall, catlike youth, was mentioned by Branch Rickey as “a boy who reminds me of Marty Marion.” Mr. Rickey is an expert on matters concerning Marion, having employed that peer among infielders when E! Brancho was general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. They say that Luke Sewell is going- to he rested during the sum mer months, and Alfonso will be the next occupant of the midway position. Cleveland has a crop of healthy j rookies who will try to catch Skip-1 per Lou Boudreau’s eye down in Arizona. Oregon’s own “Prince” Hal Saltzman is counted on to take his spot among the Tribal hurlers. Other Pacific Coasters who will vie for major spots with the In dians are, A1 “Flip” Rosen, Or estes Minoso, a id Luke Easter all of San Diego. Artie Wilson is an- 1 other Coast League infielder who ; will appear at Cleveland’s Tucson camp. Up from the Texas League will come Herb Conyers, a free i swinging first baseman, who will I battle Mickey Vernon, Luke Easter, and assorted others for a starting berth. Detroit’s prides are a couple of catchers, Frank House, and Myron “Joe” Ginsberg. House is a $75, 000 bonus baby who by baseball law has to come up after spending a year in the minors. His 1949 season at Flint, Michigan was no eye popper, but law is law. Con versely, Ginsberg is ready for a crack at the majors, having served an apprenticeship since his return from service in 1946. If you were around Manila in 1945-46, you will remember Joe as the young slugger who took over the catching chores for the Man ila Dodgers, after Joe Garagiola of St. Louis left that club via the demobilization route. Last year at the Detroit training camp My ron “Joe” impressed onlookers with his skillful handling of pitch ers. Leo Durocher, blessed at last with the reckless, base stealing, club he has always wanted, is go ing to have a goodly number of freshmen to study from today till mid-April. Among those whom he will carefully anvlize is Jack Harshman, a homer hitting first baseman, who two seasons ago was assaulting the fences of the Pacific Coast parks. Jack was the recipi ent of fielding instruction last year, in the American Association, and (Please turn to (age five)
