Moody Scores 3 TD's In Scrimmage Game
Veteran halfback Ralph Moody scored three touchdowns as Coach Chuck Mather sent his team through the second major scrimmage of the spring season at Memorial stadium Saturday.
Moody scored on a 55-yard run after intercepting a pass thrown by Ted Rohde for the varsity's first score against the third team. Moody had earlier saved the varsity from danger by punting out from the 16-yard line after the third team had threatened with a strong passing game.
Later Moody picked up two more scores against the fifth team, sprinting 45 yards over right tackle and later scoring from five yards out over the same opening.
StateAAWon By Bulldogs
The tall Wyandotte Bulldogs won the state Class AA basketball championship by defeating Leavenworth, 53 to 43, in the finals played at Manhattan Saturday night. Wyandotte, controlling both backboards, jumped to a 20 to 8 lead at the end of the first quarter and Leavenworth never got closer than the final 10-point margin. Bill Doherty led Wyandotte with 19 points.
The only other touchdown of the two-hour serimimage was scored by second-string fullback Al Stevenson, who scored from five yards out against the fifth team.
Some fine passing by quarterback John McFarland moved the third team into scoring position, but the drive failed when the varsity held for downs on the 16-yard line. McFarland passed twice to end Bill Bell and once to Mike Rogers to move his team to the 20-yard line, but there the drive lost momentum, with the varsity taking over four plays later.
In the consolation game, Chanute downed Parsons, 59 to 49, behind the fine play of Jerry Johnson, who scored 20 points, and little Bill White, who added 18 Parson's Fred Strathe was the game's leading scorer with 22 points.
In the Class A finals at Hutchinson, Russell won its fourth championship in the last seven years with a decisive 60 to 44 victory over Lindsborg. The taller Broncos dominated the backboards, and with Bob Billings heading the way with 18 points, were never in trouble. Augusta came from behind to down Caldwell, 61 to 55, in the third place latte.
In the Class B playoffs at Emporia, Haven downed inman, 67 to 62, in a nip-and-tuck battle for the championship. Quinter won third place, 74 to 63, over McLouth. Montezuma won the Class BB tournament at Great Bend with an easy 70 to 57 victory over Simpson. The consolation game saw Greenleaf take a 54 to 44 victory from Virgil.

John Amberg, former Kansas football star, has announced his retirement from pro football, according to word received from Bob Daley, publicity director of the New York Giants.
Amberg to Quit Pro Football
WOLFSON'S 743 Massachusetts
Amberg, a native of Shawnee-Mission, is now in the Army but was under contract to the Giants, for whom he played offense and defense in 1951 and 1952.
In the final game of the 1952 season the Giants switched to a double wing and Amberg found himself blocking Cleveland Brown end Len Ford, a 260 pounder. Amberg, who tipped the scales at about 195 pounds, manhandled Ford all afternoon and the Giants upset the Browns. 37 to 35.
Amberg played football at KU in 1948 to 1950 and was co-captain with Mike McCormack in 1950. He played at a halfback spot in 1948 and part of 1949 but was switched to full in 1949 and played there the remainder of his college career.
Amberg was a hard runner, good defensive man, and a fine blocker. In 1949 he gained 236 yards in 42 carries and scored two touchdowns. In 1950, as a member of one of the finest backfields in KU history he carried the ball 79 times and gained 441 yards, for a 5.6 average. He also scored six touchdowns.

UP AND OVER—Dave Freeman, outstanding freshman hurdle prospect, clears the low timbers as he warms up for the coming outdoor track season. Freeman established two freshman records in the hurdle events in the indoor season. A three-year Big Seven hurdle duel should commence this spring when Dave meets Gene O'Conner of
Kansas State, an old rival from high school days.
Hurdle Rivalry to Resume In Outdoor Track Season
By JOHN McMILLION Kansan Sports Writer
A rivalry that dates back to their junior year in high school gathered momentum recently when Dave Freeman of Kansas and Gene O'Conner of Kansas State competed in the Big Seven indoor freshman telegraphic track meet.
In this year's meet, which Kansas won, Freeman defeated O'Conner in the high hurdles and tied him in the lows. Both Freeman and O'Conner show promise of being two of the best hurdlers in conference history so the next three years should intensify their rivalry.
It all began two years ago when O'Conner won both the high and low hurdles in the state high school meet. Freeman, who then was running for Caney, finished fourth. Last year, however, Freeman beat O'Conner in both events in the KU relays and then trimmed him twice in the state meet.
This year in the indoor telegraphic meet held by the flush, all of which were won by Kansas, Freeman established a freshman record of 7.0 in the 60-year low hurdle
and a record of 7.5 in the 60-yard high hurdles.
Additional fuel should be added to the feud when the outdoor track season gets underway. Both will be running in the high and low hurdles. Meets between the freshman in indoor track also will be telegraphic.
Freeman currently is working out at a left half spot on the football squad. He played enough at that position last fall to earn a frosh numeral. In high school he played both fullback and left half.
Varsity Loses To Freshmen In Baseball
The freshman baseball squad, with a big assist from varsity pitcher Bob Shirley, beat the varsity 8 to 4 Saturday in the second intra-squad game of the season. The varsity won the first contest, 10 to 6 .
Shirley pitched four innings and probably would have gone longer but for the cold weather. In the four innings he worked he faced only 15 men, giving up three hits and no runs. One of the hits was a bunt single by Loren "Fuzzy" Martin, varsity catcher.
Gary "Goose" Padgett and Don Dixon got the only other hits off Shirley, both singles. Shirley struck out eight men and walked none.
Wayne Tiemier started on the mound for the varsity and after a shaky beginning settled down and pitched well. The little left-hander walked one and gave up two hits in the first, then gave up four singles in the second in addition to letting one run in on a balk. Tiemier worked five innings and after the second gave up only two hits, a triple by frash Ron Wiley in the third and a fluke single by former Kansas first baseman John Trombold in the fifth.
The pitching of sophomore Gary Fenity provided the best surprise of the game. Fenity had a good curve ball working and stopped the varsity cold after the seventh, when he relieved Larry Ullman.
The most glaring weakness on the part of the varsity squad was its inability to hit. They got only six hits and only one, a triple by Padgett, was for extra bases. Their weakness in the hitting department was to some degree due to the absence of first baseman Bill Heitholt, who should be one of the leading hitters on the squad. Heitholt was out of town.
