In the Big Seven:
Jayhawks Meet Aggies In Intraleague Play
Six of the seven Big Seven conference teams will hold their last rough workouts today before Saturday's four-game slate. The seventh team, Iowa State, has an open date.
This week's program has two conference and two non-conference encounters with the possible Big Seven championship clash between Missouri and Oklahoma at Norman drawing the most attention. Colorado entertains Kansas State in the other league tussle, while Kansas plays host to Oklahoma A&M and Nebraska takes on Minnesota at Lincoln in outside play.
The Kansas Jayhawkers, with fullback Galen Fiss making a short, but impressive, reappearance, will taper off today and tomorrow as they attempt to jump back on the victory trail against the Cowpokes Saturday. The Kansans have been hampered by injuries of late while the Cowpokes are well rested after having an open date last week.
Kansas lost the services of Pat Murphy, defensive back, for the rest of the season Tuesday when he severely pulled a thigh muscle. Also definitely out of the A&M contest are right halfback John Konek and tackle George Mrkonic.
Meanwhile, Missouri, riding at the top of the conference standings, was expecting to depend on its defensive platoon to corral the high-flying Oklahoma Sooners, upended last week by Notre Dame. After a slow start, the Tiger defenders have stolen the show the last few weeks in holding Nebraska and Colorado.
The conference leaders also are expected to throw the ball quite a bit against the Sooners, something they did well last year in losing to Bud Wilkinson's charges 20-34.
Wilkinson gave the Sooners two days off this week to recover from the bruises suffered in the clash with the Irish. Halfback Buddy Leake, who injured his ankle in the game with Kansas Oct. 25, reinjured the ankle in the Notre Dame game and had it put in a cast. He will be out indefinitely.
Up at Lincoln, the Nebraska Cornhuskers are polishing plays and blocking in preparation for their game with Minnesota Saturday. Coach Bill Glassford has been working both the offense and defense in getting ready for the game.
Minnesota will rate a one-touchdown edge over the Cornhuskers as the Big Ten representative is reported much improved. Halfback Jim Yeslake is still on the doubtful list for Nebraska.
The Colorado Buffaloes were taking it fairly easy after their 7-27 loss to Missouri last week. Dal Ward's charges tackle Kansas State in the Buff's homecoming this weekend.
Two players, halfback Woody Shelton and guard Jack Swigert, missed early drills this week with colds.
The Wildcats of Kansas State did
the roughest work of all the teams as Coach Bill Meek worked his team for the Colorado game. Dewey Wade, who injured his back in the Wyoming game Saturday, was still in sweat clothes during the work-outs.
Iowa State doesn't have another game until they meet Kansas State next week, but Head Coach Abe Stuber kept the Cyclones hard at work. Varsity reserves scrimmaged with the freshmen in the roughest work Tuesday.
Bums Place 6 All-Stars
New York (U.P.)—Brooklyn walked off today with six of the 10 spots on the annual United Press National league all-star team. Two others went to the St. Louis Cardinals and one each to the Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs.
As usual, Stan (The Man) Musial of the Cards was a unanimous choice. The premier slugger was the only man to be named on all ballots of the 24-man selection board composed of three veteran baseball writers from each league city.
Robin Roberts of the Phils, the first National league pitcher to win 28 games since Dizzy Dean did it for St. Louis in 1935, was named on all but one ballot. Third baseman Billy Cox and catcher Roy Campanella of the Dodgers each missed on only two.
The other Dodgers named were outfielder Duke Snider, rookie pitcher Joe Black, first baseman Gil Hodges, and shortstop Peewee Reese. Second baseman Red Schoeniendier of the Cardinals and outfielder Hank Sauer of the Cubs completed the team.
Other players who rated honorable mention in the balloting were outfielders Kiner, Bobby Thomson of the Giants, and Del Ennis and Richie Ashburn of the Phils; shortstops Roy McMillan of the Reds, Alvin Dark of the Giants, and Granny Hamner of the Phils; third baseman Bobby Adams of the Reds; first baseman Dee Fondy of the Cubs; pitchers Hoyt Wilhelm and Sal Maglie of the Giants, Warren Hacker of the Cubs, Murry Dickson of the Pirates, Preacher Roe and Carl Erskine of the Dodgers; Curt Simmons of the Phils, and Gerry Staley of the Cardinals; and catcher Del Rice of the Cards.

Fraternity A intramural squads from Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Kappa Psi, Sigma Chi and Beta Theta Pi eased past their opponents in the first round of the hill championship tournament yesterday.
FRIDAY NIGHT
Another strong intramural football team fell under the wheels of Phi Gamma Mu machine the defending hill coach crushed the alpha Tau Omega 12 to 0.
A fighting Lambda Chi Alpha outfit came close to pulling one of the major upsets of the year as they held the mighty Phi Psi's to a scoreless tie during regular game time. Phi Kappa Psi went into the contest with a record of no defeats and of never having been scored upon.
Lambda Chi stalled very offensive drive the Phi Psi's started. Their determination proved fruitless, however, for the polished Phi Psi offense edged out 15 yards in the overtime to Lambda Chi's 7 yards.
In the third quarter, the winners drove to the TKE 20 yard line. Stan Ball climaxed the thrust by grabbing a 20 yard pass from Dane Lonborg, although covered by two men in the end zone.
Larry Cheatham started the scoring for the victors in the first period by snagging an aerial from Jim Potts for a tally. Both teams remained scoreless the remainder of the first half. As the third quarter was about to end, Jack Shields blocked an ATO point on the ATO 10 vard line.
Potts fired to Joe McGilley on the next play for the other Phi Gam tally.
Sigma Chi scored on two spectaculai lattices, to blank
Tau Kappa Epsilon 14-9.
In the last period, with the ball on the TKE 10-yard line, Lonborg flipped a short pass to Tom Johnston. Johnston was covered by three defenders, dove for the ball, caught it, and held on for the touchdown instant, and held on for the touchdown.
John Strawn threw two touchdown passes to lead Beta Theta Pi to a 16-6 victory over Phi Delta Theta.
Strawn broke up a scoreless contest in the second period by passing 24-10 at zone one, and end zone. Jim Floyd converted to give the Betas a 7-0 half-time lead.
