Dr. 'Phog' Allen Starts Fireworks
New York- (U.P.) -The never-hamonious relations between Kansas basketball coach Phog Allen and the U.S. Olympic committee, which he once scorned as a "quadrenial band of trans-oceanic hitch-hikers," appeared loaded today for more verbal fireworks.
On precedent, Allen earned an assistant coaching berth for the international games when his team finished runnerup in the Olympic tryouts. But the word is that his qualifications will be challenged when the Olympic executive board meets late this month.
Phog (Horn) proved again in the recent Olympic trials that he hasn't misplaced his ability to lose friends and influence people the wrong way. The osteopathic surgeon whose comments are sharper than any scalpel first threatened to boycott the Olympic trials unless a mid-western referee was used.
Up for examination is the crusty, gusty Phog's wagging tongue.
Stripping away the concealing foliage, it isn't his "qualifications" which are on trial. For no other basketball coach in the history of the game has won as many contests as Allen.
"We can't win in New York with two eastern officials," he norted in what amounted to a direct accusation.
Then, just before meeting La-Salle in the semi-finals, he alienated a few more customers when asked
whether he considered his NCAA champions and opposing LaSalle, the National Invitation Tournament champion, the nation's two best college teams.
"N.LT. means 'NIT' and 'NIT means nothing to me," he replied acidly.
LaSalle almost made him eat those words, leading at one stage by 13 points. But Kansas won out, to 70, not too convincing a victory considering that LaSalle was playing without one of its stars.
But these vitriolic statements have but Phog on the spot—again.
He is, of course, used to that. Back in 1936 he was named director of the Olympic basketball squad, and after delivering some scathing remarks, resigned even before his appointment came up for executive committee action. There was a suspicion he beat them to the punch.
Allen was knocked down in a basketball scrimmage in 1947 and after that suffered a wrist sprain. The team voiced that it became a chronic condition.
Whatever the reason for his utterances, he has continued to make them with gusto. Two years ago, after a game in which St. John's used a violent all-court press, Allen wrathfully proclaimed them "a bunch of alley fighters."
he also branded AAU basketball players as professionals; accused the Big 10 and the Pacific Coast conference as "selling the center jump down the river;" and illuminated his remarks at the Olympic fathers by pointing out that "they don't even own a hurdle."
Phog, at 66, probably wouldn't give a hoot if he was scratched as an Olympic coach. One thing certain, though, he'd certainly give a holler.
Crawford Plays Fotopoulos To Decide Number One Berth
Charles Crawford will be matched against Gene Fotopoulos in the finals of the intra-squad tennis tournament at 3 p.m. today to determine the No.1 Kansas tennis player for the Iowa match Tuesday.
The match will be played on the concrete courts south of the stadium. The Iowa meet will be played on the same courts at 2 p.m. Tuesday.
Coach Dick Mechem ranks the Iowa team as "probably the best team we will meet this year. It definitely will be one of our toughest matches."
Crawford beat John Freiburger in an easily won match 6-love and 6-4, to reach the finals. Fotopoulos, a transfer student from Hutchinson Junior college playing his first year at Kansas, defeated Jared McLennan, 2-12, to gain the right to go against the tennis ace from last season.
the intra-squad ladder will continue all season, and Coach Mechem expects some fluctuation in the position of the No. 1 Kansas man. The winner of the match Friday will probably be matched against Norman Barnes, Iowa's No. 1 player.
Hedstrom will play Freiburger for the No. 3 and No. 4 positions on the Kansas team. Hal Titus is slated to meet Herb Irwin for the No. 5 spot.
The Iowa team is deeo in all positions, and Coach Mechem expects Bruce Higley and Don Lewis, Iowa senior lettermen who have been playing for four years, to give the Kansas recepiteman trouble. Bob Richards is another Iowan, expected to put up a tough fight.
Five singles and two double matches will be played at the Iowa match Tuesday.

The amazing height of Remington Feeny
Your campus placement office will be glad to give you more information.
Remington Feeny's money went to his feet. Being extremely cautious, he hid his money in his shoes so he could always keep it with him. By the time he was 48, he was nine feet tall.
Money can be used to grow on, but not necessarily by Mr. Feeny's method. For instance, more than 1,100,000 people have shown their faith in the future of the Bell Telephone System by investing their money in it. About one-fifth of them are Bell employees who bought stock through a payroll savings plan.
It takes both money and people to keep the Bell System growing and improving to meet our country's telephone needs. That's why college men with the right qualifications can find interesting opportunities with us-in engineering, research, operating and administration.
