KU Dropped To Fourth By AP Basketball Poll
Kansas State, which soundly trounced the Kansas cage crew in Manhattan Saturday night, moved to the number two spot in the latest weekly, Associated Press basketball poll.
Kansas, which held the number one or two spot for the past four weeks, dropped down two places to fourth.
Kentucky climbed into the top position, but the Kentuckians had only a narrow margin over Kansas State and Illinois, the third-ranked team.
Adolph Rupp's bluegrass quintet totaled 790 points to 755 for Kansas State and 745 for third place Illinois. These three were far out front. Fourth-place Kansas had 523 points and fifth-place St. Bonaventure, one of the two major undefeated teams left, had 457.
The United Press poll gave Illinois the top position, followed by Kentucky, Kansas State and Kansas.
This week's top 10 teams in the poll:
Team Points
1 Kentucky (32) 790
2 Kansas State (25) 755
3 Illinois (16) 745
4 Kansas (1) 523

7 Duquense (1) 355
8 Iowa (2) 332
9 Washington (4) 292

Slugging Henry Wins Bout Easily
Clarence Henry, who weighed 187 pounds compared to 180 for Bob Satterfield, slugged the once durable Chicago battler into complete defeat in one minute and 41 seconds before 6,880 fans in the Chicago stadium.
It didn't take long for the referee to end the battle. Satterfield was draped over the ropes and took an eight count after Henry tagged him with a right hook. Hardly had he recovered before he was on the seat of his pants for a nine count, and he was barely on his feet before Henry drove him a clean left hook which sent him down for another nine. That was enough.
Chicago — (U,P) — A possible successor to boxing's famed Brown Bomber Joe Louis made a setup of a rough challenger Wednesday night.
"Now I'd like to fight the guy who'll give me the biggest gate," Henry said, "and that seems to me to be (Rocky) Marciano."
Denver University Swimmers To Meet Kansas In Robinson
Paced by a wave of fine freestylers, Denver's undefeated swimming team invades Robinson Gym pool at 3:30 p.m. today.
Bob Seymour's Pioneers will be shooting at their fifth consecutive triumph. They already hold wins over the Wyoming Invitational Referee, duals against Colorado and Colorado Mines, and a triangular with Colorado college and Camp Carson.
Don Brown, Colorado Springs freshman, heads DU's free-style brigade. The versatile yearling already has splashed two clockings below present Skyline Eight records in the 100-yard free style and 150-yard individual medley.
He'll get an argument in the '100 from KU's Dick Elfin. The Wichita sophomore recorded a :59.6 in winning that event against Nebraska. He also won the 120-yard individual medley and anchored the Jayhawks' winning 400-yard free style relay foursome.
Against this array, Jayhawker Coach Walt Mikols will field a promising young club which upset Nebraska. 49-44, in its first meet Jan. 12. Kansas will be without the services of a fine breastrooker, Tom Payne, who was called to Naval cadet training at the close of the first semester.
Mahlon Ball, Lawrence sophomore; John Ashley, Topeka junior; Bob Wellborn, Wichita senior, and Sam Perkins, Olathe junior, will join Elfin against the Denver squad.
MICKEY BETHEL
Mickey Bethel, College freshman, left the University at the end of the fall semester to play baseball this spring for one of the New York Yankee ball clubs.
College Student Joins Yankees
BY JERRY RENNER
Mickey, whose home is in Concordia, got his start playing for the VFW town team in the spring of 1950. A salesman saw him play and got him a tryout with a semi-professional ball club, the Superior (Neb.) Knights.
The team tied for 6th place in the national semi-professional tournament in Wichita last summer.
Joe McDermott, Yankee scouter, saw Mickey play in a tournament in Super Bowl XII, asking his right pitching and asked him to play with the Yanks.
The six-foot, 175 pound, youthful pitcher signed with them last fall. This spring Mickey has not yet received his assignment. He may go to Lake Wales, Fla., to a ball school or may be sent directly to a farm club.
"Floyd Stickney, the Knights manager, liked my pitching and signed me up." Mickey said. "My win-loss for the season was 6-3."
"Most of my ball playing will have to come after I'm out of the service. My draft board has me classified 1-A." Mickey said.
