KU Track Squad Faces Fast Team
Three vigorous personal duels in short races will mark the first indoor Kansas-Kansas State track meet since 1946, Saturday night when the two teams open the 1952 season in the Wildcat's new clay layout in the spacious Purple fieldhouse.
These two man vendettas will stretch through four races, involving both flights of hurdles, the half-mile, and the quarter.
The hurdles will match Jayhawkier captain Bob DeVinney against Wildcat football halfback Hi Faibund in the 80-yard lows and highs. Off the basis of his early time trials at .071 and .075 respectively, DeVinny, the fierce competitor from Anderson, Ind., will be hard for any conference competitor to beat.
Faubion was limited to brief appearances last year by a knee operation, but is expected to come into his own this season. DeVinney missed the indoor trials last year because of an appendectomy but came along rapidly outdoors, placing second to teammate Jack Greenwood in the 220-lows and trailing only Cornell's Charles Moore in the 400-meter intermediates in the National AAU affair in June. He is poised for his finest season in a three year Jayhawker career.
The half will match another Cat gridder, Dick Towers, and Art Dallzean, leellight Jayhawk sophomore. The veteran, who placed third indoors and four outdoors last year, will be slightly favored. Towers was nipped in the last 10 yards by Nebraska's Hobe Jones and Don Crabtree of Oklahoma on the boards last year after leading most of the way, in a sparkling 1:56.4 race.
Dalzell has unwound 1.574 in time trials. He is a former Class B state

prep champion from Spring Hill, still holding the record of 1:59.9 which he established two years ago. Furthermore he held up in Fall Two-Mile, placing third in the conference derby here in November in 9:33.0 excellent time for a natural half-miler.
Tightest of the three should be the 440 which will bring together State's Thane Baker, a two-time outdoor sprint king last year as a mere sophomore, and KU's grim Don Smith, who came within an eyelash of upsetting OU's Jerry Meader in the outdoor quarter.
Both caused a heavy stir as sophomores. Baker beat such notables as Randy Vanet and Charles Coleman to finish second in the indoor quarter last year behind Meader in a race that went in :50.3. He flashed the 100 in :49.8 and the 220 in the record-tying figure of :21.3 in the outdoor.
Smith lost to Meader in the last few strides at Columbia but ran a brilliant :48.1 nevertheless. He set a new school record of :49.0 in the KU-KS outdoor dual last spring. Thrown against Baker in the anchor leg of the mile relay in the conference meet he held a four-yard advantage to the tape.

No Expression In School Spirit
"KU has school spirit, but it is often expressed in a manner less showy than the 'rah! rahl' technique," said one girl at the campus affairs committee meeting last night. Her statement was typical of opinions expressed in the discussion concerning school spirit.
Sitting informally in the plush, relaxed atmosphere of room 222 Strong hall, 26 students and faculty members tried to find what each person's ideas were concerning KU and it's school spirit.
It was generally agreed that expression of school spirit by KU students stacks up pretty well with most schools, yet it is not all that it could be. The most concrete remedy suggested was re-emphasis of some of the KU traditions. Singing the alma mater song after games and more use of the "rock chalk" vell were specific suggestions.
Some opinions, as to why school spirit is not demonstrated in public as much as it should be were:
"The Campus lacks a feeling of unity."
"There is a feeling of friendliness on the campus but no fellowship."
"The so-called professionalism in college sports detracts from school spirit."
"Cheering is over-organized and should be more spontaneous."
The campus affairs committee is a group without power. It serves as a vent for ideas and a sounding board for campus opinion. The results of the meetings can be only in the form of suggestions to be relayed to campus leaders concerned
Kentucky Wildcats Setting Point Record
New York — (U.P.) — Kentucky's rampaging Wildcats have a new national scoring record in their grasp in the college home stretch of the college basketball season.
Official NCAA statistics showed today that, including games of Feb. 2, the Wildcats were scoring points at the rate of 83.5 per game—which would eclipse the season - long record of 82.5 points per game set by the 1947 Rhode Island State team.
