Associated and United Press associations seem to agree on one thing: their All-America selections.
As a matter of fact, nearly everyone this year seems to think along pretty much the same lines when it comes to the "dream team."

Clyde Lovellette of Kansas and Dick Great of Duke might be considered the "cinch" choices for All-America honors. And there's little reason to believe it should be otherwise.

Lovellette leads the nation's scorers with 26.4 points per game average. Groot is sticking close on his heels with 26 points per game.
The 27 points that Lovellette dunked against Oklahoma A&M, Feb. 19 is the most ever scored by an individual player against the Cowpokes. George Mikan, who played collegiately with DePaul and is now with the professional Minneapolis Lakers, and Kentucky's Alex Groza previously had hit 25.
There'll be a personal feud on Hoch auditorium floor Friday night when the Kansas Staters come to town. By winning this one, Kansas can lift Coach Phog Allen abreast of his intra-state rival, Jack Gardner, at 10-10 in KU-K-State games won.
Semper ran a 9:26.8 two-mile race in his sophomore and eclipsed that with a 9:11.3 race as a junior.
They're still talking about Herb Semper's 9:07 two-mile performance in the Big Seven indoor track meet last Saturday. It was the third consecutive year the Jayhawk red-head broke the league record.
It also gave the Jayhawkers their sixth consecutive conference indoor two-mile title. Bob Karnes won the event in 1947, 1948 and 1949.
It'll be the 121st meeting between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Kansas State Wildcats when they tangle tonight. The Jayhawkers lead the all-time series, winning 78 games to State's 42.
Friday's fray will be the rubber game of this year's matches between the state rivals. Kansas won 90-88 in the semifinals of the Big Seven tournament in Kansas City. The Wildcats bagged an 81-64 decision in the first conference meeting at Manhattan.
Haverhill, Mass. — (U.P.) —Speetators cheered as they watched firemen smash windows while fighting a blaze on Main street. One fireman who tried to force open a window was roundly booed—but the boots turned to cheers as he gave up and smashed the glass.

Rivalry Has Calmed Down Since Head Shearing' Days

While the rivalry between KU and K-State has seldom been marked by any real violence, time was when the captured marauder had his head neatly and completely shorn. Any who went protesting against a rival coup attempt, dewdalks, statues and buildings was risking one of these torsional atrocities.
A little rivalry can go a long way—especially when it comes to getting one's head sheared. ❖
Both schools developed some classic epithets for each other, too. The K-State crowd referred to the University as, "KU—the only flaw in the Kaw," or "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk—PU." Jayhawks countered by referring to the Kansas State Agricultural college, as it was then called, as the "Cow College," or "Silo Tech."
Somehow things didn't seem to work out. Sidewalks still were painted, buildings still were bemirmed and statues took their annual shellacking in their usual dignified manner. Students at the annual football contest gave out with is many snarls as they did cheers.
But the two schools took some action to prevent unfriendliness from developing between them in 1928 when a "gentleman's agreement" adopted by way of keeping the rivalry on a high level of sportsmanship.
A more recent exhibition of name-calling appeared at last fall's football game when, high in the K-State
side of the stadium, was seen the sign,"Spill Snob Hill."
The student councils then adopted a "peace pact" which was intended to control the exuberance of the more "spirited" students. The persons responsible for any damage incurred from any expected to pay for the damage, and might be fined, lose credit hours or be dismissed from the University.
There was one instance of regression to the older tactics of revenge, however, when a group of KU students were caught raiding the Wildcat campus. The students were held in the Manhattan jail until Univer-rials promised that they would be punished by a student court.
This pact seemed to hold things in cheek fairly well, for there have been few really damaging incidents to either campus since.
While the culprits were being taken back to Lawrence, the sheriff's car in which they were riding was in custody and the K-Staters. Object: Head shearing.
Some newer provisions in the "peace pact," such as the 1949 stipulation that the whole student body shall be responsible for any violations, have made it strong enough to stop, or at least slow down, the traditional vandalisms.
