Phog Slaps Colorado Booing In Open Letter to Students
To our students and friends of basketball at the University of Kansas:
Lest we forget, I would like to call your attention to the basketball game played at Boulder, Colo. Feb. 2.
Many of you perhaps heard the broadcast of the game played last Tuesday night between the universities of Colorado and Kansas
Near the end of the first half our star center, B.H. Born, drew his fourth and fifth personal fouls within thirty seconds of each other and was rightfully disqualified from further play.
Every member of both teams played clean, hard ball. Born's last two fouls were the result of over zealousness. Hence, no rough plays resulted which could have caused anger or resentment against any Kansas player.
Burdette Haldorson and his Colorado mates' fine play drew faint applause compared to the maniacal and continued outburst, lasting several minutes, set off by Borin's ejection from the game.
We have always wanted to believe that the loyal and enthusiastic college students should cheer the fine and exceptional plays of
their own team. And not the misfortunes and the errors of the opponents.
Seven thousand three hundred wildly cheering people were poured into Colorado's jam-

packed field house. Probably fifty Kansas adherents were there including the Kansas squad.
During those frenzied moments at Boulder my mind kaleidoscopically swept across the ages past wherein I could see a captive and tortured prisoner being fiendishly dealt with at the hands of his heathen gloaters.
Is it too much to ask that our Kansas boys and girls cheer the fine plays made by our Kansas basketeers but refrain from base demonstrations when our visiting conference teams unfortunately make poor plays or commit the fifth disqualifying foul?
It is a reverse twist given to our collegiate athletic behavior when we lose sight of the durable things that make fine athletic traditions to exist.
If two teams can wage a ding-dong battle for forty minutes and keep their emotions under control, surely college trained students should not show their courage by booting viciously against the visitors. You cheer for your boys. And may the better team win.
I have always had great faith in the fine sportsmanship of our

Barthel Shoots For Mile Mark

New York —(U.P.)— A nail of tobacco smoke couldn't stop Olympic champion Josy Barthel from winning but it's starting to look as if the "Luxembourg Express" needs more competition if he's going to set a new indoor mile record.
If any proof were needed that Gil
Dodds' mark of 4.053 is within his
reach, Barthel supplied it when he
romped home all alone to win the

It was the third straight board track triumph for Barthel since he started running in this country as a graduate student at Harvard university. Each time his winning time has been faster, Josy thinks he has been better. He was the second record if the smoke in the indoor arenas doesn't bother him.
Barthel's mile victory in New York's first indoor meet of the season was not the only thrill for an estimated 15,000 fans. Olympic champion Mal Whitfield of Los Angeles registered the Milrose Games' first "double" in 18 years by capturing the 600 and 880-event events.
It now seems that the only American capable of challenging the Olympic champion is Wes Santee of KU, but there's apparently no chance of matching the two in the near future. Santee is bound by Big Seven regulations from appearing in invitation races in the east.

FORREST C. ALLEN
Two Unbeaten Teams Remain
New York —(U.P.)—The "magic number" stands at eight today for both Kentucky and Duquesne, the only major basketball teams in the nation which still have a chance for a perfect season. Each has eight games remaining.
Those two court Titans were left alone in the unbeaten class when Western Kentucky, which had run the nation's best record to 21-0. was stunned Saturday night by one of the season's biggest upsets, a 63-54 defeat by Eastern Kentucky, a team it had walloped in two previous meetings.
Lightning didn't strike twice on the same night, however, as Kentucky pushed its record to 16-0 with an easy 16-8 victory over Georgia, and Duquesne (18-0) beat the powerful Quantico Marines, E1-68, in a game that counts only as an exhibition.
