Class IM Football Games Start Today
By RON PHILLIPS
Kansan Sports Writer
Enthusiasm is mounting over the class championship football tourney to start this afternoon at 4 p.m.
Class managers ended their practices yesterday afternoon on an optimistic key. Almost all of of the chosen football players showed up for the rehearsals and the athletes hustled the entire period.
Junior mentor, Max Murray is quite confident about his tilt with the freshmen. Such outstanding players as John Strawn, Beta passing wizard, and Bill Michener, Phi Gam pass receiver, will be the nucleus of the junior attack. "Our two offensive platoons will be able to cope with any defense the freshmen might throw at us," Murray exclaimed.
Dick Ressler, Beta quarterback,
and G. H. Jones, Phi Gam guard, are the sparkplugs of the sophomore offense.
Ron Phillips, manager of the freshman all-star herd was quite pleased in the showing his inexperienced squad made in its workout. "With such stars as Carl Ade, Phi Delt passing ace, Curt Nettles, sharp Beta ball handler, and Ralph Wallace, Phi Psi end, we'll give the junior class a rough ball game," he said.
The seniors, handled by Jerry Brownlee, will be fighting hardest for the class championship. Al Armstrong, TKE tailback who has led his fraternity team all season, will do most of the passing. Jim Floyd, end on the hill championship Beta squad, is expected to be his main receiver. "I feel that we have the best material in the tourney, and expect to take first place," Brownlee said.
The sophomore all-stars, coached by Ken Tripe are perhaps the dark horses of the tourney. Having drawn the most experienced squad in the tourney to play, the seniors, the sophomores were expected to lose out in the first round. A good work-out changed the minds of many people, however, as the sophomoresade an excellent showing.

KU Cage Team Rates 17th in U.S.
First in the national ratings is the team from the University of Illinois, followed by North Carolina state in second. The Big Seven conference is going to be taken by Kansas State, according to Look, with Missouri as runner-up, and Kansas right behind.
The Kansas University basketball team will place 17th in the nation this year, according to the annual basketball forecast by Look magazine.
Illinois is expected to be crowded by Minnesota in the Big Ten. Minnesota is rated in the No.8 slot with Indiana pressing close behind in 12th place.
K-State received a rating of sixth in the national poll. Missouri is rated in the 16th slot, right above the Jayhawkers.
Notre Dame is classed as the Midwest's leading independent by Look, which places the Irish 21st nationally.
The standings will be shuffled somewhat because Kentucky, which was rated fourth by Look's forecasters, dropped intercollegiate basketball after the magazine had gone to press.

The rest of the Big Seven would be on a more even keel if the Sooners were out of the conference. Oklahoma is to the Big Seven what the New York Yankees are to the American league.
But how about the rest of the Big Seven? Would it be hurt by Oklahoma operating as an independent? No. Is the Big Ten hurt because Notre Dame operates as an independent in the same area?

Perhaps we're just bitter because we couldn't beat the Sooners this year, or for that matter, for the last six years, but this only seems to show what we are arguing. The Sooners are out of our league. Their records compared with those of the rest of the Big Seven teams shows that. In most of the other conferences, no team wins the title more than two straight years.
By DON NIELSEN
The Big Seven officials don't want to lose the Sooners. They've given the Big Seven as much publicity for the last few years, in football, as the Jayhawks did last year in basketball. From this standpoint we might say yes, by all means, keep Oklahoma in the conference.
to the Orange Bowl, let 'em go. Oklahoma wants to go to Miami in New Year's day pretty badly, but by so doing they will incur the wrath of the Big Seven conference officials. Still, they're been thinking of going in spite of possible disciplinary action by the conference.
If Oklahoma goes, they will be expecting the worst. They could, probably, be kicked out of the league for ignoring the Big Seven bowl ban, but more likely would merely be put on probation for aear as was Maryland when it ignored a bowl ban and went to the Sugar Bowl.
If the mighty Sooners want to go
to the Orange Bowl, let 'em go.

OU Wants Bowl Game But Hates to Bolt Big 7
Oklahoma's football team still wants to play in a bowl game, but they voted yesterday not to accept a bid if it means that they will divorce themselves from the Big Seven by so doing.
The team tossed the hot potato right back into the laps of the board of regents which earlier had left the matter up to the team, Coach Bud Wilkinson, and University President Dr. George Cross.
As it now stands, the only action which would make the Sooners accept the bowl bid in defiance of the ban must come from the board of regents.
Quarterback Eddie Crowder made a statement for the players:
Dr. Cross told a student rally Tuesday night that he would sanction a trip to the bowl if the players felt it was worth the consequences.
Coach J. V. Sikes of Kansas said that he was not in favor of the rule prohibiting bowl games. "However," he added, "I feel that as long as the rule, or any rule, is in effect, all
"The team wants to go, naturally, but we don't think the team should make such an important decision affecting the school and the conference. The rules could be changed. We'd like to go, but the decision is not in our hands."
Big Seven coaches gave their opinions of the Oklahoma quandary by saying that they did not want to see the Sooners withdraw from the conference.
conference teams should abide by it. No team in this conference is indispensable to the conference."
Coach Bill Meck of Kansas State, whose team has been in the conference cellar since 1942, said he personally would be sorry to see Oklahoma withdraw "as there is no good reason for it." He said he felt that Coach Wilkinson was not one to buck the conference.
Joe McBride, a long time member of the Oklahoma university board of regents, counseled the school coach, and team about leaving the Big Seven until there is a Southwest conference berth ready for them.
