Is This the Year?
Pacific Coast Looks To Rose Bowl Win
Yet, among the PCC's big five—Southern Cal, UCLA, Washington, Stanford and California—the record is vastly more impressive. This quintet has piled up the nine intersectional wins against one setback. And against the Big Ten they have won five against one loss.
By OSCAR FRALEY
New York—(U.P.)—This is the year, they're saying today on the West Coast, that they start squaring Rose Bowl accounts with the Big Ten—and they may be right.
Intersectional records indicate the major resurgence in college football is on the slopes of the Pacifc. And there is blood in California eyes looking toward the Jan. 1 American Beauty kickoff.
Pacific Coast conference schools have been beating a difficult path back to the gridron heights since World War II, and it has been eight long bruising years since they won their own New Year's day extravaganza.
But the record this fall indicates convincingly that the PCC can hold its own with the best of them this time out. In interactional play, it has won nine against five setbacks.
The four other PCC intersectional losses have been absorbed by the PCC's second division teams. Washington State lost to Ohio State and Baylor; Oregon tumbled before Nebraska and Oregon State lost to Michigan State, as who hasn't.
28 to 14. Washington has broken even with the Big Ten, edging Minnesota 19 to 13 and losing to Illinois 14 to 48.
But the aggravating thorn to the westerners has been the continual beatings suffered at the hands of the Big Ten since they signed their exclusive Rose Bowl pact in 1947.
Well, out on the coast, they figure that this year it's finally going to be a real happy new year.
At Least 2 Years for Completion Of Long Awaited Fieldhouse
The long awaited $21/2 million KU fieldhouse is still more than two years from realization, according to Keith Lawton, administrative assistant to the chancellor.
By CLARKE KEYS
Although work on the site southwest of the campus was begun in the spring of 1951, workmen did not tackle the job in force until late fall of that year. However, work has been stopped on the project since late May of this year and an early resumption is not in sight, Mr. Lawton said.
The setting of 875 concrete piles was completed in three months last spring and the pillings were capped by concrete and the site cleaned up by the Bennett Construction company of Topeka, the general contractor, before the layoff.
The stoppage has been caused by the steel strike of June and July and the construction is as far along as is possible without the structural steel.
The building, which will eventually be one of the largest of its kind in the nation, has had several tentative completion dates in the past, but no date is being set now. Very early reports hoped that basketball games could have been played in the arena in the latter part of 1951. Last year at this time it was thought that it could be made ready by the fall of 1953.
The building has been held up by several different problems, Mr. Lawton said. Construction was first delayed by the lack of a government permit authorizing the purchase of the steel. Shortly after the permit was received, the strike occurred. The backlog of defense orders was so great, Mr. Lawton pointed out, that the companies have not yet been able to accept the KU order.
The Kansas Jayhawkers hit the basketball court for the initial drills of the season Saturday morning with Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen beginning his 36th year as head coach.
Dr. Allen Begins 36th Season Here
Gone are five members of last year's NCAA and Olympic championship team, a club that went through a long and strenuous season with only three losses. The KU head mentor will be hard pressed to replace Clyde Lovellette, Bill Lienhard, Bob Kenney, Bill Hougland, and John Keller.
Returning for another season are six lettermen, Dean Kelley, an all-NCAA tournament star and this year's captain; B. H. Born, Bill Heitholz, Larry Davenport, Dean Smith, and Charlie Hoag. Hong will not report until the end of football season.
Other squadmen reporting for opening practice were Jerry Alberts, Ken Buller, Everet Dye, Don Franklin, Paul Guess, Wes Johnson, Al Kelley, Loren Martin, Eldon Nicholson, Gary Padgett, LaVannes Squires, Wes Whitney, Jack Wolfe, and Rich Young.
This year's Big 7 conference race shapes up as all-Kansas State with the Wildcats in the best position to succeed as collegiate kings now that Kentucky no longer is in the picture.
Five other footballers — Jerry Bogue, John Anderson, Bob Forsyth, Gil Reich, and Harold Patterson— will report at the season's end.
Missouri will have a top team with plenty of experience, and Oklahoma, Colorado, and Nebraska all have top flight lettermen returning. That leaves Kansas and Iowa State to fight it out for the bottom position.
KU will play a 21-game regular season schedule including two or three contests in the conference's pre-season tournament in Kansas City. The total number of games is three less than last year in keeping with NCAA rulings. The Jayhawks will open against Tulane Dec. 11 at New Orleans.

The permit is still valid, he said, and a steel smelting company may soon be able to fill the order. However, after the smelting company furnishes the necessary steel, a steel fabrication company must take the material into the beams and braces needed to carry the weight of the structure.
Freshman Basketball To Start Thursday
Mr. Lawton said that the University has received a small amount of plate steel at the site. The estimated completion time after all the steel reaches the site is two years, he said.
When completed, the fieldhouse will alleviate the one tight athletic problem of the University, that of a basketball arena. At the present all home games are played in Hoch auditorium which has a seating capacity of 4200. The new structure
Kentucky Won't Play Basketball This Year
The university said that it would "accept the verdict of the council of the NCAA without appealing to the NCAA at its meeting in January, 1953."
The University of Kentucky announced Monday that it would not compete in an intercollegiate basketball program this season following a recommendation of the NCAA council that the school be placed on a year's probation.
The council said Monday that it was placing the school on probation for violating of subsidization and eligibility rules from 1947 through 1951.
Kentucky had been picked by many experts to be the nations' top team in the 1952-53 season. Instead of the intercollegiate program, the school has said that it will conduct an extensive intramural program.
Freshmen interested in trying out for freshman basketball should report to Dick Harp, assistant basketball coach, on the basketball court in Robinson gymnasium at 8 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6.
Tigers Start Basketball Drills
Columbia, Mo. — (O)U)—The University of Missouri has held its first basketball workout. Twenty-three players turned out for the Tigers' first practice yesterday. Missouri's first game will be Dec. 13 in Columbia against Ft. Leonard Wood.
will contain over 16,000 seats.
The main arena will contain a portable basketball floor that may be removed to permit other athletic teams to practice in the spacious quarters. It will also double as an armory for the military units at the University.
A gymnasium, swimming pool and numerous other facilities for physical education will also be incorporated into the plant.
Sooners Prime For Notre Dame
Coach Bud Wilkinson, who in four seasons has taken his Big Seven champions to three bowl games, wouldn't talk about bowl games, however, except to cite the new conference rule outlawing them.
Norman, Okla. — (U.P.)— Fifth rated Oklahoma appeared in top shape today for Saturday's game with Notre Dame which may determine whether an uproar develops over the Big Seven conference ban on post-season games.
While Wilkinson and his undefeated split-T Sooners whipped up a few new acts to use against eighth-ranked Notre Dame in the nationally televised battle, Oklahoma fans were talking furiously about bowl games. All such talk was preceded by a big "if," however—"if we beat Notre Dame."
University officials turned a deaf ear to the speculation. Dr. George L. Cross, president, said, "There has been no official discussion at all of the post-season rule."
"After all," Cross said, one of the top football fans in Oklahoma, "we still have four games to play."
