Fieldhouse Dedication To Highlight Big Game
PROBABLE STARTERS
Kansas Pos. Kansas State
Gene Elstun, 6-3 F Nugent Adams, 6-3
Bill Brainard, 6-3 F Dick Stone, 6-3
Lew Johnson, 6-$1\frac{1}{2}$ C Roger Craft, 6-7
Dallas Dobbs, 5-11 G Fred Schneider, 6-3
John Anderson, 6-2 G Pachin Vicens, 5-9
when Kansas and Kansas State meet in K-State's Mike Ahearn fieldhouse tomorrow night, it will be the first of a two-game series, both occurring less than a month apart, during which the dedication of two giant fieldhouses will take place.
The second game of the series will take place March 1 in the newly constructed Allen fieldhouse.
The game will be the first this season between the two teams, with Kansas after its third straight win in the Manhattan fieldhouse. However, as a result of its crushing loss to Iowa State Tuesday night, Kansas will enter the contest as a definite underdog.
A victory is a must for the Jayhawks if they are to avoid finishing in the second division. A loss would give them a 1-5 record in conference play. Even so, Kansas still has half its conference schedule remaining.
A victory for the Wildcats would be doubly sweet, as it would not only boost them closer to the Big Seven lead, with a 7-2 record, but it also would be their first triumph over Kansas since the pre-season tournament of 1952.
Phog Allen, KU coach, said he probably would start Gene Elstun and Bill Brainard at forwards, Dallas Dobbs and John Anderson at guards, and Lew Johnson at center.
At present, K-State is being paced by the trio of Roger Craft, Dick Stone, and Pachin Vicens. Craft and Stone have a scoring average of 12.5 and nine points, respectively. Vicens, the speedy Puerto Rican, is averaging 10.6, and is the team's best feeder and ball handler.

Flashy victories in New York provided LaSalle and St. Louis today with some "tournament insurance."
Just in case they should miss out on NCAA tournament berths in their respective conferences, La-Salle trounced Manhattan, 76-22 and St. Louis defeated New York, 87-66, last night to assure themselves a bid to the National Invitation tournament.
LaSalle, the nation's third ranking team with an overall record of 17 and four, seems almost certain to be picked by the Middle Atlantic conference. But St. Louis, with a 3-1 league record, still trails Tulsa (5-1) in the Missouri Valley.
Football Coach Chuck Mather has decided to slow things down just a bit until after spring practice.
He plans on taking it easy for awhile on speaking engagements around the country and the state, but will continue to deliver speeches to local organizations.
Mather Cuts Talking Tour
During the remainder of this month the coach will be in St. Louis Saturday, speaking to alumni of Montclair. He will be in Great Bend Monday.
Then next Thursday he travels to Wellington. The following week, Coach Mather will deliver talks to alumni groups in Neodesha and Warrensburg.
Between speaking engagements, Coach Mather has been pondering over the teams he and his players will have to face next fall, which is a job in itself.
Coach Mather said most of his speeches are of the "father and son banquet" variety, with the added comment that they are the "hardest things in the world to do."
Richards, Rush to Form Nucleus of KU Golf Team
Varsity golf soon will be moving on the athletic scene at KU for an eight-man squad.
Coach Donn Everett will be working with six upperclassmen instead of the usual eight, with the addition of two non-playing freshmen to the team. The freshman members will practice with the team but will be ineligible for varsity competition.
Junior Bob Richards of Lawrence should be a title contender since he placed fourth last year and will be playing on his home course this season. (The Big Seven playoff will be held at the Lawrence country club May 20 and 21, which should give Richards an advantage over his opponents.)
Returning from last year's team are two lettermen who placed in the top six in the Big Seven meet, which Colorado won.
Also returning for his senior year is Pete Rush of Kansas City, Mo. Rush placed sixth in the Big Seven last year and should not one of the top positions this season, Everett said.
Three other upperclassmen will compete for positions on the squad. Junior Noel Rooney of Dodge City saw limited action last year and will be a contender for a team position. Saylor Kansas, Mary, Mo, and Larry Gustaf of Salina, both sophomores, will bid for positions.
Everett named two freshmen as standouts for team positions. They are Jim Davies of Dodge City and Harry Turner of Topeka. Everett will hold tryouts at a later date for other interested freshmen.
Kansas will meet Missouri, Iowa State, Kansas State, and Nebraska in match play but won't face Colo-

ado and Oklahoma until the championship matches.
Everett said defending champion Colorado is the team to beat this year. In the championship match only five players from each school are entered, with the scores of the top four totaled to determine the team champion.
K-State Picks Tennis Coach
Manhattan—(U.P.)—Kansas State college has announced the appointment of Karl Finney, agricultural specialist, as its tennis coach, replacing Jim Larue, also assistant football coach, who accompanied former Coach Bill Meek to Houston university.
Wichita—(U,P)—A blistering first half attack enabled Wichita to defeat Drake in a basketball game here last night, 96-78. The loss was the 12th in a row on the road for the Drake team. Wichita was paced by Cleo Littleton's 25 points.
In the next few weeks Wes Santee, former KU distance ace, will be commuting between New York City and Lawrence.

KU Swimmers Face Oklahoma
The KU swimming team headed south today for a dual meet tomorrow afternoon at Norman with an undefeated Oklahoma squad which also is the defending Big Seven champion.
The outlook for Coach Doug Wall's undermanned crew is not quite as bleak as last week against Iowa State, but chances for a Kansas victory are almost out of the question.
The Oklahomans opened the season last week by beating SMU 47 to 36 and Texas 52 to 32. Tomorrow's meet will be the Sooner's first home appearance.
top performers on the Texas tour were Tommy Kehoe, with a 23.5 in the 50-yard free style and a 52.1 in the 100. Graham Johnston with an excellent 2.08.9 in the 220-yard free, and Lin Meiring with a 2:14.6 in the 200-yard backstroke.
Oklahoma plans to have added attractions in the meet. Jim McKinney will try for the pool record of 1:03.5 in the 100-yard breaststroke; Melvyn vanHelsdingen, junior from South Africa, will be out to top the 100-yard backstroke mark of 57.8 set by his teammate and countryman Lin Meiring, and Meiring himself will attempt to smash the 150-yard backstroke mark of 1:38.6.
for Coach Wall and his short- ianded Jayhawks it looks like a ough afternoon and a long season.
