Congratulations to Coach F, C Phog Allen and the Kansas basketball team. The Jayhawkers have proved they deserve the Big Seven crown which they won last night. The squad should make the conference look plenty good in the NCAA playoffs.
Several coaches, including Jack Gardner of Kansas State, feel that the Jayhawkers will reach the national NCAA finals in Seattle. The winner there will have a reserved spot in the Olympic playoffs set for April 12, in Kansas City.
Coach Allen has turned down a bid by Illinois to play a warmup game before the NCAA games, but this reporter would like to see Kansas meet the NAIB champion in a game here Monday or Tuesday of next week. The finals of the NAIB will be Saturday.
This could be an interesting clash because the NCAA and NAIB champions will meet in the Olympic playoffs.
An interesting sidelight . . . LOOK magazine announced its All-American team yesterday. Clyde Lovellette was only named to the second squad. It is a known fact that Phog Allen and Tim Cohane, LOOK sports editor, did not see eye-to-eye on a recent article in the magazine. Possibly no connection, but . . .
Spring is practically here. Next to robins, baseball players are the surest sign of its arrival, and as added proof the first casualty of spring drills is on exhibit. Lou Boudreau of the Red Sox did the honors Saturday with a smashed jaw from a foul ball.
This can mean your start to an exceptional career. Beil Representatives will be here looking for Engineers, Mathematicians and Physicists who can qualify for positions in long range diversified programs which offer outstanding opportunities to the right men in all fields of engineering. Make a date NOW to get the complete facts ... salary, career opportunities, advanced educational plans, and other advantages. FOR APPOINTMENT: T. Dewitt Carr, Dean K.U. 217
Dukes In NI Tourney Debut Tonight Against The Fast Holy Cross Crusaders
New York — (U,P)— Duquesne— tall, talented, and top-seeded—takes the court for the first time tonight in the National Invitation tournament against Holy Cross and second-seeded St. Louis clashes with Dayton in a pair of quarter-final games.
The "Iron Dukes," guided by "Coach of the Year" Donald Moore, will be scrapping for a semi-final perth opposite LaSalle, which advanced last night with an upset 11-45 win over St. John's.
And the St. Louis-Dayton winner will go into the semi-finals Thursday against St. Bonaventure, winner by 70-69 over Western Kentucky last night.
The Crusaders of Holy Cross must be rated as deep underdogs in their battle with the tourney's no. 1 rated team, for they will be coming right back after a gruelling 77-72 win over Seattle in the third game of last night's triple-header.
Holy Cross got a bad scare against Seattle, a team that was extended

Campus Interviews on Cigarette Tests No.36...THE OTTER
Ausually mild-mannered and easy-going lad, he really made the fur fly when he realized the trickiness of most of the so-called cigarette mildness tests! He knew there was one honest test of cigarette mildness. Millions of smokers everywhere know, too - there's one true test!
It's the sensible test . . . the 30-Day Camel Mildness Test, which simply asks you to try Camels as your steady smoke - on a pack-after-pack, day-after-day basis. No snap judgments! Once you've tried Camels in your "T-Zone" (T for Throat, T for Taste), you'll see why...
After all the Mildness Tests . . .
