KU Offense Slowed By Flu; Elstun Out
"Kansas' basketball team is slowly winning its battle over the flu bug, but will enter the Northwestern game next Monday in poor shape," Coach Phog Allen said last night.
Dallas Dobbs and Lew Johnson, both of whom are recovering from influenza, are working out. Johnson has been working out the last two days, but Dobbs worked out only shortly yesterday and will not be in top notch form for Monday's game.
Gene Elstun, the third player to fall victim to flu, left the Kansas City hospital yesterday where he has been the past few days and will be on the campus Saturday. Elstun will not be able to play in Monday's game against Northwestern, but he may be ready for the Wichita game next Wednesday.
Coach Allen said that with Dobbs not at his peak and without Elstun, the Jayhawkers will be playing under a handicap Monday. Dobbs and Elstun are the two top scorers on the team and without them KU's offense will suffer.
Allen said that a starting five hasn't been selected yet and the way things now stand he might have to clear the bench to beat Northwestern.

NEW YORK (U.P.)-College football attendance rose 2.7 per cent nationally this year despite a 9.9 per cent drop in the East.
The United Press' survey of attendance at 123 colleges revealed that 13,311,380 fans turned out for 578 games this year compared to 12,961,599 in 585 games last season.
Santee Clearance Not Protested
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — (U.P.)—The Amateur Athletic Union, which opened its annual convention here today to determine coaches and trial dates for the United States Olympic teams, cleared the way for mile star Wes Santee to take part in the 1956 games.
The AAU allowed the 10-day period for lodging protests against the clearing of Santee on professional charges to pass yesterday without action.
AAU President Louis G. Wilke said no protest had been received by the board of managers of the Missouri Valley Association.
Santee was suspended by the local registration group last June for allegedly accepting excessive expense allowances.
