Wide-Open Scramble Seen for Big Seven
Bv THE UNITED PRESS
A basketball race that figured in December to be a 1-team affair was a wide-open scramble in the Big Seven conference today with at least three teams challenging Kansas State's favored Wildcat for the 1953 title.
Upset for the second time in four contests, Kansas State was no better than fourth in the team standings, trailing Oklahoma (3-1), Kansas (4-2), and Nebraska (3-2).
It was the Nebraska team that shocked K-State Saturday night, 89-67, at Lincoln, at the same time Kansas was trouncing Missouri at Lawrence, 86-62, and Colorado was thumping Iowa State at Alamea, 75-67.
Earlier last week, the same Iowa State squad handed Oklahoma its first conference loss, 73-69, but the defeat failed to dislodge Coach Bruce Drake's Oklahoma Sooners from first place.
Oklahoma will meet Kansas tomorrow night at Lawrence, where the Jayhawkers are almost unbeatable, and then on Saturday Oklahoma will invade Manhattan for a meeting with Kansas State.
Now comes the critical week for the pacesetters.
In both instances, the front runners will be underdogs, but pregame rankings carry little weight in the Big Seven this season in view of the frequent surprises that already have developed.
All four top teams in the standings have double assignments this week. Kansas, in addition to meeting Oklahoma, will oppose Nebraska at Lawrence Saturday. Nebraska has a battle with Colorado in Lincoln tonight before the Saturday test at Lawrence, and Kansas State—winner by only three points over Iowa State at Manhattan on Jan. 31—goes against the Ames, Iowa, quintet at Ames tonight.
It's a week of heavy firing designed to clear the championship picture considerably. But it may only further complicate it.
One other game on the week's bill involves Colorado and Missouri at Columbia Saturday night. All conference teams will have reached, or passed, the half-way point in the title race after the week's action.

Wide Margins Mark Weekend IM Hoop Play
New York — (U.P.)— Marvin Edelman, hard-hitting injury young Philadelphia middleweight, will risk a 29-bout winning streak tonight when he faces Ralph "Tiger" Jones of Yonkers, N.Y., in the 10-round feature bout at Brooklyn's Eastern Park-wav arena.
Edelman has won 31 of his 32 professional fights, including 17 by knockouts. In his last appearance, Jan. 5, he scored a decision over Charley Williams of Newark, N.J., at the arena. Jones, on the other hand, was upset in his last bout, losing a decision to Rocky Castellani.
The Australian echidna, or spiny ant-eater, is one of two creatures known to science which lay eggs and nourish their young with milk.
Tonight's bout will be televised in 15 cities, ranging west to Denver.
Six runaways and one close contest marked the Intramural weekend basketball schedule. This week the leagues move into the final round of activities in preparation for the championship games in two weeks.
Phi Kappa Tau 51, Phi Kappa Sig 18 After rolling to an impressive 26-7 halftime margin, the Phi Tau's showed no mercredy,搼ting the Phi Kappa Sigs, 51-18. Dennis Marvin provided the main punch for the winners, getting 27 points for the day's work.
Punky Hogland and Gordon Cummings scored 13 and 12 points respectively to lead Delta Chi to the win over a hard-fighting Sigma Nu five. 46-36. High man for SigmaNu was Alex McBurney with 13.

Phi Delt 80 Pi K A 24
Phi Delt 80, Pi K A 24
The well-balanced Phi Delt attack, with four men hitting 10 or more points proved too much for Pi K A. Bill Allison, with 17, and Hugh Buchanan, with 16 led the Phi Delt's, while Don Sneegas got six for Pi K A.
Kanna Sig 39. Sigma Chi 23
The Kappa Sigs got away fast to an eleven point lead at the half and were never headed, finally subduing Sigma Chi, 39-23. Duun Ureuh was high point man with 16, while Galen Fiss led Sigma Chi with 12.
Seventeen counters by Dick Blowey and 16 by Verne Moser and John Wynkoop were more than enough for ATO to down TKE, 71-21. Bob Renflo led TKE with eight.
ATQ 71. TKE 21
Liahona 37. Oread 32
Liahona overcame a 13-18 halftime deficit to come back strong to defeat a scrappy Oread Hall five, 37-32. Joe Bayless had 16 and Art Bunham nine for Liahona and Le-Roy Foster got 10 for Oread.

Hoag Helps 9-Year-Old Girl Celebrate Delayed Christmas
Football co-captain Charlie Hoag presented an autographed football to a 9-year-old Lawrence girl, Karen Carleton, Friday night to make her Christmas a happier one.
A brightly-lighted Christmas tree stood in the living room at Karen's home, surrounded by many gifts from relatives and friends.
Karen was observing the Christmas she mised when she was undergoing a series of operations at the KU Medical center. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Carleton, told her in October that they would have Christmas when she was released from the hospital.
One of Hoag's foremost fans, Karen has faithfully followed his career in the newspapers for the past two years. When Hoag was in the medical center for a knee operation he heard of Karen and went to visit her there. She was in a coma from the final operation, but he left her a note.
Little Karen received many gifts, but the one that meant the most to her was the football which her extra-special guest gave her. The ball was autographed by the entire squad and coaching staff of the 1952 Kansas squad, with the message: "To Karen: A most ardent fan. Best luck towards a most speedy and
successful recovery. Sincerely, 1952 Jayhawks"
Hong's autograph was right at the top in a little larger size than the rest, because that was the way Karen wanted it.
Certainly, there were dolls, pets, clothes—anything a little girl could ask for—but to Karen, this will always be the Christmas when Charlie Hoag came to call.
KU Fund Gets Student Gift
A former University graduate, A. P. Learned, 5229 Rockhill road, Kansas City, Mo., has contributed $50 to the Dean, F. O. Marvin Loan of SUNY New York and Sor Frank L. Brown of the School of Engineering at KU. The fund is available to engineering students having "C" averages or better.
Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the Treasury, founded the U.S. Coast Guard in 1790 to protect life and property on the sea and navigable waters of the United States.
J. Paul Sheedy* Switched to Wildroot Cream-Oil Because He Flunked The Finger-Nail Test
"HUURMPH" I trumpeted Sheedey, "What a elephant time to have my hair act up. Might as well break my date and get trunk!" Luckily he was overheard by a Pachydermitologist who said, "Tusk, tusk! You've got a messy big top from pouring those buckets of water on your head. Get out of your ivory tower and visit any toilet goods counter for a bottle or tube of Wildroot Cream-Oil. Your Hair's Best Friend". Non-alcoholic. Contains soothing Lanolin. Relieves dryness, Removes loose, ugly dandruff. Helps you pass the Finger-Nail Test." Paul got Wildroot Cream-Oil, and now all the girls tent to him more than ever. So why don't you try Wildroot Cream-Oil? It only costs peanuts —29¢. And once you try it, you'll really have a circus.
