NL Owners to Vote On Braves Transfer
St. Petersburg, Fla—(U.P.)—The National League's club owners met in secret session today to study a six-point agenda and then give Lou Perini a "yes" or "no" answer to his proposed shift of the Boston Braves to Milwaukee. $ \textcircled{*} $
Perini, despite the American league's rejection of a similar proposal by Bill Veeck last Monday, said he expected to receive the unanimous approval required by National league regulations. George Trautman, president of the minor leagues, predicted, however, that the proposal will be rejected and Warren Giles, president of the National league, warned that the agenda contained difficult problems.
The first of these points, according to Giles, was a solution to the schedule problems which would be created by the shift. The next four points "involve details which arise because of the time element," Mr
Giles said, while the sixth point is a study of a decision which will be reached by representatives of the American Association at an earlier meeting.
The final point on the agenda is the actual voting, with unanimous 7-0 approval required. No owner has stated that he is sufficiently opposed to cast the single dissenting vote, but Walter O'Malley, president of the Brooklyn Dodgers, has hinted that he takes a dim view of the move at this time. A high baseball official also revealed that the Pittsburgh Pirates will not decide their vote until the first point is cleared up to their satisfaction.

The Kansans and the Hoosiers go to it at 9:45 p.m. tonight for the highest honor in collegiate basketball. Louisiana State University and Yale University all hosted in Indiana downed LSU, 80-67, in last night's first game.
Kansas City, Mo.—Those astounding Kansas Jayhawkers put another incredible showing into their list of 1953 accomplishments last night as they won the right to defend their NCAA championship against Indiana by downing national powerhouse Washington, 79-53.
Kansas smashed the Huskies, ranked second in the nation with a 29-2 record, to the floor with eight

Washington recovered quickly and staved in the game until they lost their amazing center, 6-7 Bob Houbregs, on fouls with just 2.14 gone in the third quarter. Whatever fight had been left in the Huskies before, disappeared then.
straight points before the boys from out West got a shot from the field, and kept the pressure on all the way.
It was the first time in 58 games that the Washington scoring machine had fouled out. But the big boy had lost his effectiveness with 4:38 to play in the first quarter when he picked up his third foul, and even more so late in the second period when he got his fourth. He scored 18 points.
But even had the big fellow lasted the entire game, Kansas could not have been denied the way they were playing. Stealing the ball at every turn, the Jayhawkers were "right" all the way.
Center B. H. Born, playing one of his top games despite being hampered by a cold, took game scoring honors with 25 points. Always choked off by at least two of the towering Westerners, the 6-9 Lonesome Pine hooked and jumped in his best form.
The experts said it couldn't be done. In fact at game time Washington was a 4-point favorite in most quarters.
Capt. Dean Kelley finally had that good night he has been looking for, hitting for 18 points. Harold Patterson added 17 to the cause.
The Huskies, living up to their name in physical stature, were at a loss when the smaller and deft Kansans started making their moves.
Kansas set the tempo of the contest in the opening two and a half minutes when they built up a 8-0 margin. Controlling the tip, KU hit in the person of Al Kelley with 25 seconds gone. Patterson and Dean Kelley added free throws, then Al Kelley hit a set and Patterson a jump shot from the corner and the Huskies hadn't shot.
But they didn't roll over. Storming back, Washington scored seven straight points to pull to within one. But Patterson and Dean Kelley combined to move the score to 11-7. The Huskies kept pecking away at lead and finally tied up the game at 16-15 in the third and tied at 18-17 and were tied at 19-19, but that was the last time they were up with KU.
The second quarter saw Kansas slowly stretch its lead until they led 44-31. Born hit 11 points in this period to give the big drive to the Kansans. The Huskies cut the lead to 45-34 at the half. KU hit 47 per cent in the first half.
Dean Kelley and Gil Reich hit quick goals off of the break and Larry Davenport added a free throw to give the Jayhawks a 24-20 first-
Kansas held a 48-34 lead when Houbreux left the game and that was all for the Huskies. KU went on to 51 before Washington hit its first
points of the second half. The losers looked for a time like they might shake off Houbregs' loss as they came back up to 41-51, but goals by the Kelley brothers and Born soon cooled off the Washington flurry.
Kansas continued to pour it on in the final period as the disillusioned Huskies fell apart. Between Born and Patterson, the Huskies had a miserable time of it under the basket. Patterson hit 10 and Born five in the final quarter.
Patterson sparked the routine fourth quarter with three goals in 32 seconds. As the Washington club threw the ball wildly into the arms of waiting Kansans, Patterson set sail for the goal as fresh as a daisy,
