THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1958 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Im A MSlh THURSAY, ARCH20, 1581L -J. _...... _.__. __.UA_ 1 PAGE ~TH BY JIM BAAD Two Leagues A SUBJECT recently touched on by the IFC has been for the past few years one of I-M Director Earl Riskey's favorite proposals, the separation of the social fraternities into two separate athletic units. The Interfraternity Council has gone no further than to bring the subject up, but Assistant Dean of Men in charge of Fraternities William Cross says that the plan could be introduced for discussion and possibly a vote if Riskey would write it up in concrete terms. The basis for dividing the present league of 40 teams into two leagues of 20 teams would be the size of the fraternity in terms of numbers. The rationale for doing it lies in an attempt to more nearly equalize competition and raise the chances for the smaller houses to win some championships. As it is set up now, the larger houses consistently carry off the honors. The split (which would be determined by listing the houses in order of current membership and then dividing the list in half) would pit houses of relatively equal size against each other. For a quick look at how the leagues could have been this year if the plan had been in effect, we can list them below in two columns in order of descending size. Finishes in the top ten over the past two seasons are thrown in to show the overbalance of power. A factor to keep in mind is that these rankings are based on this year's member- ship, including the spring pledge class. If the existing league is even- tually split up by this method, it would be in the plan to revise every year to take care of the changing membership in houses.

Held scoreless for the first five minutes, the Sammies managed to get their offense rolling, and aided by ATO's sloppy, ineffec- tive shooting, they opened up a seven point lead at half-time, 15-8. In another "B" game, Pi Lamb- da Phi won the fourth place championship by beating Alpha Epsilon Pi 36-30. AE Pi'sStu Hirsch led the scoring parade with 16 points, but it was not enough to match the well balanced attack of the Pi Lambs. r Chi's offense, netting 20 and 15 points respectively. A furious offensive attack gave Phi Delta Chi a 60-26 victory over Tau Epsilon Rho in a contest for the fourth place championship. Hitting the twines almost at will, Phi Delta Chi opened up a 16-poiht bulge at half-time, 28-12.

Dr. C. R. Hunter said, "Stokes showed slight improvement today and I am confident he will have a complete recovery." Come to Life ATO, paced by Bob Stuenkel, came to life in the second half and cut the Sammies' margin to one point with only two minutes remaining in the game. Two quick baskets by Stan Kraushaar, how- ever, iced the game for the Sam-' mies. Psi Omega became the second place champions in the profes- sional fraternity league by down- ing Delta Sigma Delta 38-34. Late Surge Trailing 34-31 in the waning moments of the game, Psi Omega put together three quick baskets and a free throw to clinch the game. The Delt Sigs' Jim Heidenreich, playing sparkling ball both as a playmaker and shooter, was the game's top scorer with 17 points. Joe Schneider and George East- man led the attack for the vic- torious PsihOmegas, with 10 and 12 points respectively. 14 Takes Third Place In a battle for third place, so- cial fraternity championship, Del- ta Upsilon led by Bill Englehart who tallied 10 points, whipped Phi Kappa Psi 32-15.

Organization within each division would be nearly the same as it is now. The major sports would find each league subdivided, and eventually there would be first, second, third, fourth and perhaps fifth place playoffs, A running point system would be kept, and the eventual annual ranking would take place in both leagues. If any comparison is wanted between the two leagues, it could be realized in terms of this season point total. Whichever league leader has the top total could be con- sidered the Number one Social Fraternity in I-M athletics. A Whole New Picture .. . THE PLAN is a good one as it provides a whole new I-M picture for the smaller houses. With it in effect, these fraternities could face an I-M season with more than a small hope for a few championships. Problems exist also. A major one would lie with the fraternities quite far down in terms of size, but active enough in athletics to make a strong bid for the top ten every year. They could feel resentment at not having an opportunity to test their team strength agains the big- ger houses. Anoher problem could come from the borderline teams who would no doubt be shifted from one league to another as mem- bership changed from year to year. The few problems should not overshadow the tremendous advantage the smaller fraternities will gain from this proposed change, however. If and when the fraternity presidents decide to put this proposal to a vote, they should keep this in mind. ..

The Celtics, showing the same drive and rebounding power that they have had all season, whizzed past Philadelphia, 107-98 to gain a 1-0 advantage over the Warriors. St. Louis trailed Detroit 90-84 at the end of the third period, but came from behind to down the Pistons, 114-111. The game was marked by a brawl before the end of the first half that began be- tween the Piston's George Yard- ley and the Hawk's Win Wilfong and emptied both benches. Cliff Hagan paced the Hawks with a decisive 38 points and added greatly to the winners' rebounding. Dependable Gene Shue was high for the Pistons with 29, while Yardley added 20 in a losing effort.I Boros Optioned LAKELAND, Fla.
