Kansas To Fourth In UP Rating Poll
New York—(U.P.)—Kentucky and Illinois again placed one-two today in the weekly United Press basketball rankings, but Kansas State's hold on third place was reduced to a single point by its arch Big Seven rival, Kansas.
Classy Kentucky, which during the week won the Southeastern Conference tournament, had its rating by the board of coaches slightly reduced. The Wildcats drew only 27 first-place votes out of 35, compared to 28 last, and a total point score of 331 points out of 350, compared with 333.
Illinois, on the other hand, received three first place votes, one more than last week, and 291 points, compared to 289.
But the real fight shaped up for third place where Kansas State received a total of 182 points in the balloting and Kansas, moving up from fifth place to fourth, received 181. These two teams collide Friday night at Lawrence in a game that also will probably settle the Big Seven championship.

Ed Weir Named To Referee Kansas Relays
Ed Weir, who never has missed a Kansas Relays either as Nebraska competitor or Cornhusker coach, will be referee of the 27th KU Relays here April 22, it was announced Monday by Meet Director Bill Easton.
Weir will be the fourth Big Seven track coach to be chosen for this honor in the past six years.
He is one of Nebraska's greatest athletes. He twice was selected by the United States in 1924 by Walter Camp and in 1925 by the All-American Board.
Knute Rockne, a member of that Board, that season, called Weir the "greatest tackle" he had ever seen. In two of the three years Ed played, the Huskers defeated the Irish.
Born in 1903, Ed lived 16 years on a farm at Superior, Neb. He credits his stamina during playing days to the fact that he trotted to and from school, a matter of four miles each way.
He won three letters in football and three in track as a hurdler in high school. He ran both the highs and lows well despite his 190-pound bulk.
Weir played three seasons with the Philadelphia Professional Yellowjackets and served as an assistant to Henry Schulte starting in 1926. In 1929, he helped with football, plus his track duties, and in '39 was named head track coach upon Schulte's retirement.
Weir held the Kansas Relays 120-
yard high hurdle record briefly

NEW SHIPMENT - JUST ARRIVED
University officials, who yesterday suspended Spivey from athletics because they believe he was "implicated in a conspiracy" to fix basketball games, refused to confirm or deny that the seven-foot All-America player also has been barred from the classroom.
But Athletic Director Bernie Shivey disclosed that Spivey's athletic scholarship has been terminated.
Spivey, who admitted Sunday that he failed to report to the authorities two bribe offers made to him to "throw" games, continued to assert today his innocence of any fixing or point-shaving and declared he was "very disappointed" at the academic suspension.

KU-Kansas State Tied In Big Seven
Kansas State's powerful Wildcats threw the Big Seven conference race into a deadlock last night, trouncing Iowa State, 88-66 at Ames.
It was the ninth win against one conference defeat for Kansas State. The Jayhawkers also have a 9-1 won, lost record in the Big Seven.
Baseball Roundup
The win moved the K-Saters into a tie with Kan league lead and set the stage for the "natural" coming auditorium here Friday.
Burbank, Calif.—(U.P.) The St. Louis Brown's will present a lot of unfamiliar faces this year but one of them will be new only in the American League, the veteran Marty Marion, who passed his first short-stort workout with flying colors.
Marion, the "Mr. Shortstop" of the National League when he was the key player in the St. Louis Cardinal infield, took a long workout yesterday. He made all kinds of stops and throws with his 34-year-old frame to earn a "very good, very good" comment from Manager Rogers Hornsby.
Marion said the knee, from which he had a piece of cartilege removed after the 1950 season, didn't bother him at all.
Tuscon, Ariz. — (U.R.) — Veteran George Stirnweiss and Rookie Joe Montalvo were the only unsigned Cleveland Indians today as Second Baseman Bob Avila began working out under the terms of a better contract.
San Bernadino, Calif. — (U.P.)—General Manager Branch Rickey, who signed Pitcher Murgay Dickson yesterday for a reported $27,500, told Pitcher Jim Walsh he would be placed on waivers if he did not sign the $10,000 contract offered him by the Pirates.
Phoenix, Ariz. — (U.P.)— Manager Leo Durocher planned to use all his front-line Giant pitchers today in an eight-inning intra-squad game.
Durocer's infielders were glad to get to the showers yesterday after he gave them a long workout on the "run-down" play.
Avila won a raise from President Ellis Ryan yesterday and it was believed he signed for about $18,000.
Pasadena, Calif.—(U.P.)—The Chicago White Sox learned today that star outfielder Orestes (Minnie) Minoso and rookie infielders Hector Rodriguez and Willie Miranda were enroute here by plane from Havana, Cuba.
Tampa, Fla. —(U.P.)— Outfielder Johnny Wyrostek and Infielder Eddie Pellagrini arrived yesterday to bring the Cincinnati Reds squad to full strength.
St. Petersburg, Fla. — (U.P.) Johnny Mize, veteran Yankee first baseman, weighed in at 234 pounds— eight under his 1951 World Series weight—when he took his first workout yesterday.
Mesa, Ariz.—U.(P.)—The Chicago Cubs, who spent three hours practicing hitting, baserunning, bunting and pickoff plays yesterday, will play a six-inning intra-squad game today.
Meanwhile, Illinois won the Big Ten basketball championship for the third time in the last four years with a 95-74 thumping of Northwestern. The win moved the Illini into a reserved berth in the NCAA postseason tournament.
Iowa helped the Illinois cause, losing to surprising Wisconsin, 78-75.
Thus, with 12 wins in 13 conference games and a two-game lead in the lost column over Iowa, the Illini can lose their final league game of the season against Wisconsin. In top. A win Saturday would give them the same 13-1 loop mark they had last year.
Sophomore Johnny Kerr paced Illinois to its clinching victory of Champaign, Ill., by pitching 34 points through the hoop. It was the highest single-game total by an Illini player this year, but even so, dogged Northwestern kept the game close until the last five minutes. At that point, Illinois led by only 73-70, but then turned on the power and romped home.

Once there was a Senior who Was Shy. (Look, this is a story. It permits certain liberties with the truth.)
He'd call up a Girl, stammer incoherently through the Preliminaries, gurgle help.
How do you know when your best foot's forward?
lessly through the Bicipus, and hang up. Dateless. One day his room-mate took him in hand. "Herman, old buddy," he said, . . . and unfolded a Plan.
YOU CAN'T GET A GIRL WITH A GULP
next day the Big Girl on campus got a Telegram. A terse message. Simply: "Will pick you up at eight P.M. Friday, Regards. Herman the Glockenpies." She was in Herman's classroom when she said tuckered and waited for Herman sheep-掀ed up the stem of her Sorority house.
"Are you Herman H. Clockenspiell?"
she coooed, "Ulp." said Herman, "Oooooh"
he said, taking his arm, "I just love Orig-
masterful. Masterful Mient." I "martian was on his
way."
Now Herman has more dates than the Syrian Desert, Still makes 'em all by Telegraph.
When you've got a Date in mind — Whether it's with the Campus Queen, a Sigma Siren or a Big Moment Back Home—a Telegram has the Man-of-the-world Approach that pleases.
