SPE Moves Closer
To Loop F Crown
Sigma Phi Epsilon—leading Fraternity League F by a full
game—moved to within one game of the loop title Friday
night, scoring a convincing 35-16 win over Acacia.
SPE meets Sigma Chi tomorrow night in the season's fin
ale. SPE owns a 6-1 mark while Sigma Chi—who knocked
Theta Kappa Phi out of a tie with SPE Friday—possesses a
5-2 slate. The men from Theta
Kap also hold a 5-2 record.
A win by Sigma Chi, coupled;
with a Theta Kap victory overt
Delta Tau Delta, would result in!
a three-way deadlock for the !
league lead. A playoff would then!
be necessary to crown the circuit;
champion.
Meredith Tallies Eight
SPE used an all around team
scoring balance to top the Acacia
cagers. Ten of the winners scored
with Tom Meredith's eight points
leading the way.
Sigma Chi dimmed the title as
pirations of Theta Kap with a
22-1 t victory. Bernie Kazmerski
scored all of the loser's field goals
four of them--and emerged the
high scorer of the game with
l eight points.
Delta Tau Delta rallied in the
second half to stop Phi Epsilon
Pi, 31-28, in another League F
fracas. Phi Eps held a 16-14 lead
at the intermission but couldn't
hold on to it through the secon
stanza
Leo Stankavage led the DT,
offensive with 14 points. He madi
only three tosses from the fieh
but capitalized on eight of 1
charity throws. Joe Mato n 4
helped the DTD cause with 1:
point.S. However Al Robbins. o
the Phi Eps, captured scoring
honors with 16 points-12 of they
coming in the first period.
Triangle Gains Forfeit
One other loop F game w:
scheduled but it ended in a foi
feit win for Triangle when Tal
Phi Delta failed to appear. It wr
the final game for Triangle whi
closed the campaign with a
record.
Six teams in fraternity League
E, where Phi Kappa Tau holds
down the top spot, also saw ac

stopped Beta Theta Pi, 28-15, and
Alpha Chi Sigma scored a humil

Lee Maimon topped the Beta Sig
scorers with IS points. With one
game remaining for both quin
tets. only Beta Sig has a :fiance
to pull its record over the 500
mark. Beta Sig is 2-4 while the
Betas are 2-5.
Alpha Chi Sig Sata Berard
Alpha Chi Sigma set an IM
cage record in racking up Phi
Kappa's floormen, 40-2. Alpha
Chi Sig limited Phi Kappa to two
foul shots—one in each half. NS
official record is kept on the :ow
est defensive score registered by
an IM cage team, but the Alpha
Chi Sig's total would come very
close to the record.
Two independent games were
also played Friday. The Knicks
