Rugged Oklahoma To Face Kansas
The Kansas Jayhawkers move into the home stretch of the basketball season Saturday night at Norman against Oklahoma's tricky Sooners. ◊
A series of events which happened in rapid-fire order give the team from Norman definite psychological and physical advantages.
Besides the pressure of the possible conference crown. Phog Allen's Kansans are deep in illness and thin in reserves.
With Kansas State defeated a week ago by Colorado and the Kansas Monday night win over Missouri, KU rests in the responsible position of Big Seven conference leader.
Bob Kenney—the Jayhawkers' number two man in scoring—is still ailing with a case of streptococcus throat, freshman star Larry Davenport has the hives, and 6 foot 5 inch Bill Lienhard still is not completely recovered from a recent influenza attack.
Coach Allen will have to pull all stops to get by the potent Red-shirts.
Faced with a tight zone defense, the Jayhawker shooting will almost certainly have to be of the long range type, and Kenney could have provided much of the outer-rim scoring punch.
In the last six tries on the Oklahoma boards, Kansas has come out with two wins.
The Sooners also have the distinction of being the team able to hold All-American Clyde Lovellette to his collegiate low of nine points. Slowing Lovellette to a walk, they

Last year, the Jayhawkers won their second victory in the fieldhouse. Lovellette scored 26 points over the towering efforts of Marcus Freiberger and Doug Lynn to aid the Kansas 58-52 victory.
They'll both be romping through the new comic strip by Walt Kelly-averaged 12.3 points per game in four previous tilts against Oklahoma.
Despite a 7-15, won-lost record this season, the Sooners are still strong at home. They led Kansas State by 10 points in the fourth quarter last month before dropping a 65-54 decision. In their latest home outing, they clipped Oklahoma A&M 65-60 in a triple overtime.
*K-State's countercharge involving Nebraska's infringement of the tryout ruling is next in importance, according to Dean T. DeWitt Carr, faculty representative from the University.

Strict Diet Prescribed For Kansas Track Ace
"Soup for Lunch," is one of the requirements Herb Semper, KU's ace two-miler must meet to stay in trim for his distance races.
By DON NIELSEN
Keeping a strict diet is one of the most important conditions imposed on a track man, Herb says, and a light lunch, usually a bowl of soup and a few crackers, is just one of the things that keeps him in shape.
Bill Easton, head track coach, is very concerned with his track men's weight. Accurate charts of the men's weight are kept from day to day, and their racing times are compared to those found at which he makes his best time, he tries to stay within a few pounds of it.
But eating regularly and in specified amounts is by no means the only

Herb was born in Forest Park, Ill. and started school here in the spring of 1948. He married a home town girl, Shirley Evans, in Melrose Park, Ill., in August 1950.
Right now, Herb is in the middle of preparations for the Big Seven indoor meet scheduled for Kansas City's municipal auditorium Friday and Saturday. The preliminaries will be held Friday night with the finals in most events to come up Saturday afternoon.
Another event which Herb will try for is the Olympic tryouts in Los Angeles June 28. The first three in each event will be chosen for the Olympics.

Who Ever Called It a "Blessed Event"?
Once there was a Sophomore who had a Sister. He also had a Girl. Both these filles had the Baptismal Handicap of Maggy. Small World.
The sister (call her Maggy I for the record) got married. In due process, she produced an Offspring. So, fraternal-like, our Sapient Sophomore wrote her a letter of Congratulations, starting "I hear you have a Baby"—Trouble was, he forgot to mail it right away and went on vacation and left the letter on his Desk.
students, in violation of the Big Seven code.
His roommate spotted it and being a Soul of Honor, he didn't read the Blast. Just saw "Dear Maggy". So he addressed an envelope to Maggy II at Nortamp, slapped on a stamp and dropped the Epistle in the box.
This Sophomore still has a sister named Maggy. No Girl. He still has no Idea why.
Had he been Wise —he'd have sent his Sister and her Mate a beautiful decorated "Congratulations" Telegram, Telegrams get the right to destination . . . carry Good News, Invitations, Bids for Cash and Dates more resultfully than any other Form of communication. When you have a message to send that means Something to Someone —just call Western Union . . or sprint to your Western Union office.
Dean Carr said that revisions of the recruiting law will also be discussed.
"The faculty representatives'
meetings are a rigorous grind." Dean Carr said. "We are generally in session fourteen hours a day." The two-day meetings are held three times a year.
