Jayhawkers, Wildcats Renew Rivalry Tomorrow Night
By KEN BRONSON
Kansan Sports Editor
Kansas and Kansas State—those old Sunflower state rivals—hook up in another bitter cage battle tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium. Tip-off time is 7:35 and a capacity throng is expected to fill the ancient Music hall.
This game is an especially crucial one for Kansas. Besides trying to stay in the Big Seven basketball championship race, the Jayhawkers will also be out to break the all-time home-court winning streak, of 26 games, set by the 1939, '40, and '41 squads. The Jayhawks tied the mark Saturday night when they dumped Nebraska, 79-68.
But despite their winning ways, the Jayhawkers still haven't lived up to expectations this year. They have been hot and cold, looking terrific one night and terrible the next.
Coach Phog Allen is in complete agreement with this observation.
"We play in flashes." Dr. Allen will tell you, "and they are small flashes at that. Just like powder grains, erupting one moment and winking out the next with no sustained brilliance."
Kansas now stands 6-1 in the league. To keep pace with high-flying Colorado, the Jayhawks can't afford to let down in any of their remaining games. And a let-down tomorrow night would be especially fatal.
Kansas State has always been tough on the Jayhawkers—finishing in a tie with Kansas and Nebraska for the league title in 1950, taking the flag itself in '51, and running behind the Jayhawks for the past two years. Although the Wildcats haven't been too impressive so far this season, they lost only a narrow 65-62 decision to Kansas last month in Manhattan.
The Wildcats have been having trouble keeping centers in uniform this year, partly contributing to their season's record. It all started out when Gary Bergen, who was being counted on to shoulder most of the load left by the departure of Dick Knosman, transferred to Utah last summer.
Jerry Jung, who then stepped into the No. 1 post role, broke his leg last month, leaving Coach Tex Winter short on canab "big men."
Roger Craft, Jim Frary, and Joe Powell have each been tried at the important post slot, but each has had only a small degree of success.
But the most damaging blow came last week when Jesse Prisock. 6-5 senior from Emporia and the Wildcat's top scorer, was put out of action with a severe charley-horse. Jim Smith, Winter's No. 1 reserve, was put out of action in the first quarter of the Iowa State game, a contest which Kansas State eventually lost, 64-62.
But even a losing season at Kansas State could be forgotten if the Wildcats could pull out a victory in this one. Smith may be ready to go and Winter's center problem was lightened last week with Craft's 18-point production. The Wildcats will be primed and ready for this one.
The other opening spots will go to Allen Kelley and Harold Patterson at forwards, B. H. Born at center, and Dallas Dobbs at the other guard.
Coach Pnog Allen will likely go along with his same starting five which will include Bill Heitholt in an opening guard spot. The Quinney, Ill., product didn't score a point in his initial starting performance against Nebraska last week but Dr. Allen believes he will eventually come through.
There is no doubt about the performance of Dobbs and Patterson Each has been outstanding all year.
Keilley came through with a 20-point performance Saturday night for his high-mark this year. If the little scooter can continue that pace, and B. H. Born can regain his form shown on the recent Oklahoma trip, the Jayhawkers should be able to handle the Wildcats.

The Baltimore Orioles have received the signed contracts of first baseman Dick Kryhoski and pitcher Jehoshe Heard. The Orioles have now signed 27 players for the 1954 baseball season.

Liddle Happy With Giants
Physically, the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico belong to the round-headed Mongoloid people who followed the long-headed Basket Makers into the Southwest.
New York —(U.P.)— Little Don Liddle, the nearest thing to Bobby Shantz in the National league today, is bent upon proving both to the Giants and himself that he wasn't merely "a throw-in" in the deal for Bobby Thomson.
Southpaw Johnny Antonelli, who also came to the Giants from Milwaukee in the Thomson trade, rated far more headlines than Liddle, even though he won only five more games for the Braves last season.
But some experts feel that the 5-8, 155-pound Liddle, who looks and pitches somewhat like Shantz, could be the "sleeper" in the deal.
"I think it will mean much more for me now that I'm with the Giants," he says. "Liddle, obviously the better work I get the better I like it."
With Milwaukee last season, the lefthanded Liddle had to take a back seat to such other hurlers as Warren Spahn, Max Surkont, Lew Burdette, Bob Ruhl and Antonelli. Manager Charlie Grimm simply didn't have enough work for all his hurlers.

New York —(U)(P)—National champion Indiana was boosted back into a one-game lead in the torrid Big Ten basketball race today because its chief rival Iowa, had the hard luck to run into a foe burning to win a "big one" for its coach.
Second 10 teams: 11, LaSalle, 42; 12, Minnesota, 37; 13 (tie), Duke and California, 35 each: 15, George Washington, 22; 16, Seattle, 20; 17, UCLA, 19; 18, Colorado A&M, 15; 19, Wichita, 13; 20, North Carolina State. 12.

The defeat knocked Iowa out of its first-place tie in the Big Ten as Indiana got back on the winning trail with an impressive 86-50 victory over Purdue.
Ohio State led practically all the way opening up an 11-point lead during the first half, standing off an Iowa surge to hold a 39-36 lead at halftime, and then opening up a comfortable margin again during the third period. Center Paul Ebert of the Buckeyes led all scorers with 27 points while Carl Cain had
Eagle's Star Played Safe
Philadelphia —(U.P.) Steve Van Bunen who holds the National football league rushing record, told all today. The wham-bam man "never tried for that extra yard" once he was grounded because it could be too costly to life and limb.
Or at the most, Steve explained, he seldom tried to scramble to his feet once he was clobbered by a tackle imbued with the enthusiasm of what NFL owners are proud to regard as a "rough, tough, rugged game."
"I never got up," Steve said. "If wasn't worth it."
But Steve, now forced into a public relations job with the Eagles as the result of an injury, says it's so, and who's to argue with success?
That may be heresy to the coaches, the camera lens and the fans who watched him peel off 5,860 yards for the Philadelphia Eagles in eight years. That's 3 and 1-4 miles as the crow flies. Steve followed a zig-zag course.
