Delt-Hunter 18-12 Tilt Only Close IM Game By Bill Gurney Alpha Tail Omega outran Camp bell Club 31-14. Theta Chi defeated' Merrick 27-15, Tau Kappa Epsilon downed the Yeomen by a 26-15 count, Sherry Koss fell 17-8 before Beta Theta Pi, and Delta Tau Del ta won 18-12 from Hunter Hall in “A" Intramural basketball action Tuesday. The only “B” game play ed ended in a 21-4 walkaway for Sherry Ross over Sigma Phi Epsi lon. In only one game, the Delt-Hunt er Hall struggle, was the -outcome ever seriously in doubt. The other winners early asserted their super iority. , ATO's Keep Control A tall band of ATOs, flashing a potent fast break and a good eye for the basket, never lost control of their game with Campbell Club. They shot their way to leads of 6-0 at the first quarter, 17-7 at half time, 29-12 at the three-quarter mark, and coasted to a 31-14 vic tory. Former varsity basketeer Ernie Baldini led ATO with 10 points, most of them on driving lay-ins. JAinky Ken Torgeson contributed nine, plus a big share of the re bounds. For Campbell Club forward May Williams had six and guard EXarl Ferguson netted three. The game was played in a clean man ner; comparatively few fouls were whistled on either side. Cooked Like Kout It looked as though the Theta Chi Merrick tilt would turn into a rout when the red-clad fraternity men raced to an 18-2 halftime lead. Mer rick then awoke and made a con test of it for the last half, sparked ■by driving guard Leroy Dunn with eight points for the game. Theta Chi made effective use of a fast break, especially in the first half, paced by an eight point effort from southpaw-shooting Bill Kor pela, and seven counters by center Gone Hebrard. Theta Chi led 23-8 as the third quarter mark and came through with a 27-15 victory. Play More Even Play in the Teke-Yeomen contest \\*as more even than the 26-15 score would indicate, with better shoot ing by tiie Teke club furnishing the | victory margin. Mark Van Voorhis, Teke center, led the winners with 13 points, while Don Nordling hit four for the Yeomen team. The Teke team led 16^8 at the half, and 19-10 at the third quarter. Basketball with few holds barred was the order of the day when the Betas won 17-8 from Sherry Ross in a rough and rugged encounter. Superior Beta Height Superior Beta height and weight around the backboards enabled them to lead 8-4 at the half and maintain their dominance through out the game. Both teams used defenses; on the relatively small activity court floors such tactics are often very successful. Beta Harlan Mickey, late of the Duck varsity, hit for six points, while Lee Jackson earned four on the Sherry Ross side. The Delts led by a slim 12-11 mar gin at the three-quarter mark, but pulled away to win largely on the work of guards Darrell Hawes and Tom Joyce, who checked in with seven and six points respectively. Trouble Hitting Hoop Both teams had trouble hitting the hoop in the early stages of the tilt, but the Delts’ fourth quarter rally, coupled with improved re bound work, enabled them to fash ion an 18-12 victory. Guard Dick Stearns was high man for Hunter with seven points. Sherry Ross made short work of an outmanned Sig Ep squad in the only "B" game of the day. They led 11-2 at the half and won 21-4. For ward Joe Almond and guard Leo Naapi contributed six points apiece for the fast-breaking Sherry Ross team. Intramural Handball continued with the Delts winning from the Legal Eagles 2-1. The Legal Eagles won the first singles match, but dropped the following singles and doubles matches. SPORTS STAFF Ai Karr John Barton Phil Johnson Bill Gurney Ducks Scrimmage With Frosh As OSC Series Nears With the Friday and Saturday Oregon State series looming one day closer Oregon’s Ducks ran through a hard scrimmage with the Frosh Tuesday in McArthur court. Forward Will Urban, still recovering from a re-injured right foot, ran with his team-mates for the first time in nearly two weeks. . Urban appeared to be shaping into his old form, but still is taking it easy, and did not exten sively mix it up under the basket. Whether his foot will be conditioned enough for the Beaver games this weekend is still not known. The first five in Tuesday’s prac tice was made up of Guards Jack Keller and Ken Hunt, Center Jim Luscutoff, and Forwards Bob Peterson and Curt Barclay. Neeley Shows Well Veteran Guard John Neeley also saw an extensive workout, and showed up well on the fast break. Neeley’s experience in the break and his close ball handling ability could prove valuable in a tight spot during the OSC games. Mel Streeter, working Tuesday from the forward position, made several classy floor plays from the key hole and under the basket. Cen ter Chet Noe, recently recovered from a bout with influenza, put in considerable time With the second five, but locked rough on backboard play. Guard Mel Krause turned in some good looking defensive play against the Frosh. He also worked well with Neeley on the fast break. Warren Substitutes Freely Webfoot Coach John Warren substituted freely throughout the scrimmage. The outcome of the Northern Di vision basketball race for 1950 could well be decided by the Ore gon-OSC games this week. Oregon at present has a 2 and 2 record in conference play, while OSC has won and lost 3 games. The Ducks have won 8 of their last 10 games, with two losses to Washington marring the picture.
