Kansas to Meet Revengeful A&M
By CHUCK MORELOCK
Kansan Assistant Sports Editor
Oklahoma A&M will be out for revenge when the Cowboys tangle with Kansas' Big Seven leaders Monday night at Stillwater.
The Cowpokes invaded Hoch auditorium last month and were favored to whip the hustling Kansans, but returned home with an upset 65-53 drubbing. The victory pulled coach Phoen Allen within one game of Hank Iba in their fierce coaching duel, 13-14.
The Jayhawkers have rolled to a 7-1 record since then, their latest win being an 80-78 decision over Kansas State at Manhattan Tuesday. Colorado has been the only club to stop the Kansans, whipping them 72-68 at Boulder Jan. 20.
The Aggies have been having their troubles as they have dropped two of their last three contests. Wichita's last-place Shockers upset the Cowboys at Wichita last week, 73-62, and Houston edged A&M Tuesday, 50-48.
The Aggies were ranked seventh in the Associated and United Press polls before the Houston game, while Kansas received a ninth place ranking in the UP poll and 10th in the AP.
The Aggie's season record is 17-5.
They are in first place in the Missouri Valley loop. Kansas has a 13-4 mark and is leading the Big Seven with a 7-2 record.

Aussie Hopes Appear Dim
New York — (U.P.) — Australia's hopes of holding the 1956 Olympic games appeared doomed today with Los Angeles or Mexico City whispered as the leading candidates to host the next international contests
Officials "down under" still are striving desperately to overcome a succession of apparently insurmountable obstacles. A solution to all these problems appeared impossible before a deadline meeting with the International Olympic committee on April 17.
Meanwhile, the site of the IOC meeting may be significant. It is to be held in Mexico City, long one of the leading bidders for the 1956 contests and an eager and on-the-spot mourner if and when Australian hopes are buried.
Chief competition would come from Los Angeles, which held the games in 1832 and thus boasts know-how as well as facilities. San Fran Philadelphia, Buenos Aires and Rome also were highly-regarded.
One of the major problems for the Melbourne hopefuls has been the problem of housing the 6,000 athletes and officials who would inundate the city of Melbourne for the contests. In the past, as at the current time, the village was erected which later was turned into a housing development.
But nothing has been accomplished along such lines at Melbourne, the state treating such construction as a federal project and the federal government holding it is a state issue.
One of the latest blows was the revelation that if the games remain in Australia, the 3-day equestrian tournament would have to be abandoned.
This is due to a statute that horses cannot be imported to Australia unless they first spend a six month quarantine period in England. Nor, officials say, would this rule be relaxed.
EXPERT WATCH REPAIR
Jayhawkers one of their two losses of the season by scoring a 49-45 win at Stillwater, Kansas rebounded in Hoch, winning 66-46. A&M whipped the Jayhawkers at Lawrence in 1951, 46-41, but Kansas retaliated at Stillwater, upsetting the Aggies 37-27 in one of the lowest scoring games in recent collegiate basketball history.

The leading Aggie scorer this season is center Bob Mattick. The Chicago junior tallied 15 points against the Jayhawkers last month, but B. H. Born took scoring honors with 21. Mattick stands at 6 feet $ 10 \frac{1}{2} $ inches. Born 6-9.
Other Cowboy stars are Gerald Stockton, Harold Rogers, Don Haskins, and Kendall Sheets. All are good shooters, defenders, and floor men. Rogers was the second high man for A&M last month with 13 points.
The pressing Kansas defense was the chief thorn in the sides of the Aggies in that game. The Cowboys were flustered all evening and showed little poise as they lost the ball time and again by traveling and by throwing the ball out of bounds on both ends and late in the game by outsourcing the Aggies in the first quarter, 23-15, and in the last, 23-14.
However, A&W is undefeated on their home play this season. It's a rare occasion when any opponent can whip the Cowboys at Stillwater. But Kansas could be the team to do it as they ended a 27-game Kansas State home-court streak Tuesday night.
If Kansas displays the tremendous hustle that led to the victory over the Wildcats, the Jayhawkers should record their 14th win of the season. But it won't be easy.
The all-time record in the tense series stands at 19 wins for Kansas, 14 for A&M. The game will be the last non-conference tilt of the season for Kansas. The Jayhawkers finish with Colorado and Iowa State in Hoch, and Missouri in Columbia.
Indoor Squad To Meet MU In Dual Match
A high-flying Kansas indoor track team will shoot for its 11th straight dual meet victory today, meeting the Missouri Tigers in Columbia.
The meet will be the last for both squads before the Big Seven conference indoor meet in Kansas City next Friday and Saturday.
The Jayhawkers will be paced, as usual, by Wes Santee, who is expected to wage a battle on the records in the mile and the half. But two other records that may fall are those in the 60-yard dash and the quarter.
Jayhawker Don Smith has run the quarter .6 of a second under the present record and Don Hess ran the 60-yard dash in :06.2 against Nebraska last week, slightly under the meet mark of :06.3.
Kansas apparently has enough distance and sprint talent to assure a comfortable spread over coach Tom Botts' Missourians, having one of their poorest track years. The hurdle races and field events may produce a fairly even distribution of points.
Coach Bill Easton's well-balanced Jayhawkers already have winged Kansas State and Nebraska in dual tests—with a 35-point margin over the Wildcats and a 30-point differential against Nebraska. Mizzou topped Iowa State, 69-35, but lost to Indiana, 50-53, last Saturday.
The Jayhawkers' 1-2 punch in the two mile of Dick Wilson and Keith Palmquist, will meet their stiffest test to date in the Tigers' Jerry Piper. Piper ran a sparking 9:26.7 against Indiana, while Wilson's best time so far is 9:37.3 against Kansas State.
Piper, Bert McVay, and Ken Hirshey will be trying to stop the onslaught in the distance events today. And just as these three must take some of the sting out of KU's power, so must other Tigers come through in key events to make the meet interesting.
Pole vaulters could provide the meet's top spectacle when MU'S Frank Dickey and Jayhawker Norm Steanson—both 13-footers—try to improve upon the 13 foot 5-1-4 inch mark.

Big 7 Action Reaches Peak
Big Seven conference action in both basketball and indoor track heads down the home stretch this week with a full slate of meetings.
In basketball, conference leader Kansas (7-2) stays out of conference play until March 2, but the other six teams will be busy Saturday night fighting for second place. The big one will be out at Boulder where the Kansas State Wildcats tangle with the Golden Buffs. A Wildcat win would almost assure them of second place in the conference and keep them on the heels of the Jayhawks. A CU victory, however, would throw the runner-up race wide open.
Elsewhere, Missouri and Nebraska go to it in Columbia for third place. The Tigers are basing much of their hopes on the improving Gene Landolt, who may move back into a starting role. Oklahoma, losing its last three conference games after winning the first three, goes to Ames to play Iowa State, winless at home.
Conference track teams wind up dual meet action this week in preparation for the conference indoor meet in Kansas City Friday and Saturday. Defending champion Kansas is at Missouri today and Kansas State plays host to Colorado and Iowa State tonight in a triangular meet.
Seattle Accepts Bid To Play in NCAA
Seattle—(U,P) —Seattle university today accepted a bid to play in the NCAA Western Regional basketball tournament.
The Chieftains will meet Idaho State college, Rocky Mountain conference champion, March 9 or 10 at a selected site, probably Pocatello, Ida., Seattle, or a neutral site to be selected by athletic directors of the two schools. The winner will take on the Pacific Coast conference champion in the first round of the Western playoffs at Corvallis, Ore., March 13.
The meet will be the final Jayhawk action until the conference meet March 6 and 7 at Norman. Oklahoma is the defending conference champion and will be favored to repeat this year.
The Buffaloes have been defeated by Colorado A&M and Iowa State and have whipped Nebraska and Colorado Mines, Coach Phil Kruzsch said the Jayhawkers are "really pointing for this one" since Coloradoans are rated in the same class with Kansas. He pointed out that Colorado and Iowa State are perennial swimming powerhouses and that Kansas didn't have too much of a chance against the two squads this season.
The KU mentor said the Jayhawkers worked on endurance-building this week and drilled on starts and turns. He added that Payne, the coach of beetles at Florida, had rejoined the squad and would swim the 440-vard freestyle.
The only Kansans to finish 1-2 in the Iowa State match last week were divers Jerry Jester and Dallas Chestnut. Coach Krzusht said Jester had looked good in practice sessions this week, not only in diving, but also in swimming performances. Jester will swim a leg in the 300-yard medley relay and the 400-word sord relay.
Kansas has a 1-2 record this season, losing to Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Iowa State, and defeating Nebraska in a return match in Lincoln.
The Kansas entry list will have Jester, John Welsh, and Jerry Scott in the 300-yard medley relay; Sam Perkins and Dave Moxley, 220-yard freestyle; Mahlon Ball and Terry Williams, 50-yard freestyle, and Dick Efin and Ken Reid, individual medley.
Jester and Chestnut will be the divers. Ball and Effin will swim the 100-yard freestyle, Perkins and Payne, 440-yard freestyle, and Jester, Moxley, Ball, and Williams will compete in the 400-yard sprint race. John Welsh and Dean Glacier are the backstrokers and Scott and Jean Schanze the breaststrokeers.
