Kansas 'B' Team To Play Wildcats At Manhattan
Kansas' Jayhawker "B" team will try to pull number eight from a stubborn band of towering Kansas State freshmen at Manhattan Thursday night.
At the same time, the Jayhawk Juniors will try to avenge one of their two defeats of the season, suffered at the hands of State, 54-48, at Lawrence early this month. They lost to Olathe Naval Air Base earlier.
Roger Craft, hitting only one field goal but 10 of 14 charity tosses, led the Kansas State attack on the Jayhawkers with 12 points. Three KU players pulled in close behind, Everett Dye, Jerry Alberts, and Allen Kelley each scored 10 points.
Only two squads have been able to stop Coach Keith Lambert's Purple Kittens, Ft. Leonard Wood and the K-State Alumni turned the trick. The talented frosh are sporting a 6-2 won-lost record.
Kansas led by 11 midway in the second quarter, but a sharpshooting bunch of Cats chopped at the lead and went one point ahead near the end of the second quarter. Once out in front, they never trailed.
Kansas came within nine points with a few minutes left in the third period. In the fourth quarter a Jayhawk full-court press narrowed the gap to four points. But the KU aggressiveness got four of the Kansans fouled out and the upsurge fell short.

Rifle Club Plans Match
A possible shoulder-to-shoulder match with the Women's Rifle club of the University of Missouri has
By JACKIE JONES Daily Kansan Sports Editor
At the present time, the educational institutions throughout the nation are facing the question of de-emphasis of collegiate sports.
Recently eleven college presidents developed a code which they said would reduce the emphasis which we now place on athletics (particularly football). The executive committee of the American Council on Education immediately accepted this code.
This group is one of the most powerful in the educational field, and when it makes a decision it carries a great deal of weight.
This is all well and good if it is necessary, but are they actually justified?
It is apparent that a desire to de-emphasize sports has reached such a pitch that the highest controlling forces over the nation's colleges, have decided it is necessary for them to step in.
The eleven college presidents recommended that spring football practice be abolished. We had spring-practice long before any complaints of over-emphasis.
These same presidents would abolish bowl games. A large portion of the money received from bowl receipts goes back to the schools, and enables them to continue many academic programs.
Many of those who complain against college sports, say that the athletes spend too much time in pursuit of a varsity letter and not enough time toward those which accompany a degree. A recent survey made by the University, showed that there is very little difference between the grades made by an athlete and a non-athlete.
Some of the complaints state that the great importance placed upon a winning team causes colleges to offer athletic scholarships and at other times questionable inducements. Possibly this is true, but scholarships have put many students through school who would never have been able to attend.
John Q. Public, who has done the complaining, should stop and
The colleges have had sports programs for a long time, but no one complained of over-emphasis until Mr. Public began placing his dollars before the ticket window just to watch the college boys.
ask himself who is really doing the over-emphasizing, if there is such a thing.
