By JACKIE JONES Daily Kansan Sports Editor
The Kansas Jayhawkers moved into undisputed first place in the Big Seven conference basketball race Monday night as they defeated a stubborn Missouri team, 65 to 54.
The game was one of the fastest and most rugged affairs staged in Hoch auditorium this season, but it never got out of hand even though tempers flared on several occasions.
Missouri took the first lead on a long shot by Don Dippold, but Kansas went ahead after five minutes of play on two quick shots by Bob

The victory gave the Jayhawkers a three-game sweep over the Tigers this season and six wins out of the 15 games with the Missouri cage crew.
Clyde Lovelle, the Jayhawker All-American center, continued his torrid scoring pace with a 29 point burst. This gave him a total of 550 points this season, enough to set a new season's scoring record for Kansas.
(Missouri was charged with one technical foul).
Lovelliele broke his own record of 548 points set last season, and he still has three games to go during the current season.
Training Camps Prepare For '52
Phoenix, Ariz. — (U.P.)—The New York Giants, masters of the close shave, today prepared to greet their last missing regular—Sal (the barber) Maglie.
Maglie, a 23-game winner in 1951 signed last week for a reported $35,000.
St. Petersburg, Fla., (U.P.)-Ed Lopat, the left hander who won 21 games for the world champions last season, has the best form of any pitcher in the Yankee camp so far.
Vero Beach, Fla. — (U,P)—First baseman Gil Hodges who has been studying how to bunt and hit to right field, featured the Dodgers' batting practice yesterday with a number of 400-foot drives—to left field.
Manager Charley Dressen says the home run hitter will be more valuable if he learns to bunt and pull his hits to right field.
Sport De-emphasis Cited As Reason In Hockey-Lacrosse Popularity Rise
St. Petersburg, Fla. —(U,P)—It's hardly news but Stan Musial, five-time National league batting champion, appeared to be in mid-season form yesterday as he repeatedly lashed the ball over the right field wall during the Cardinal batting drill.
Troy, N. Y. —(U.P)—De-emphasis of major sports in colleges and universities throughout the nation is in direct contrast to the policies of Ned Harkness of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Harkness, youngest member of a family of coaches, tutors hockey and lacrosse at the Hudson river engineering school. And it doesn't take a slide rule to figure out that his teams have built up outstanding records in collegiate competition.
Evidence of his prowess was shown in a hockey game last week at Lawrence. The contest attracted the team, and in the history of area indoor sports.
"Hockey definitely is on its way up with schools putting in artificial rinks," he said. "That's why the Canadians have dominated the sport.
He attributes popularity gains in the two sports to the de-emphasis of football and other collegiate athletics.
"As for lacrosse popularity, it's growing by leaps and bounds."
Harkness has done much to stimulate the latter. His lacrosse team was the first eastern representative to demonstrate the sport in the Midwest where it has become very

In 1949, he was picked as the coach who did the most for lacrosse. This year he is president of the Lacrosse Coaches association.

The Harkness family is considered the "first family in lacrosse." Brother Bill is head coach of the sport at Yale where their father is assistant coach.
