Jayhawkers Prepare For Big Seven Drive
Long and hard practice sessions have occupied the Jayhawkers this week as they prepare for their important drive for the Big Seven conference pennant.
The Kansans, with 11 victories, currently have the longest string of wins this season of any major college quintet in the nation. But only one of the conquests has been inside the conference.
The team's victories have been over some strong opponents but the real test is yet to come within the league. Kansas and K-State are the only major powers in the Big Seven this year but the other five teams cannot be counted out. All of them, including Saturday's foe, the Missouri Tigers, are capable of pulling unsets along the route.
With this in mind, Mentor Allen
'Unbeaten' List Trimmed To 7
New York—(U.P.) The list of major unbeaten college basketball teams was sliced to just seven today as Syracuse university and Mississippi State were blasted out of the charmed circle.
Syracuse, winner of its first six games, absorbed a thoreth 72 to 49 drubbing Wednesday night from Pittsburgh, while Mississippi State, victor in its first nine contests of the season, was just as soundly whipped by Mississippi. 77 to 62.
The twin defeats left these "Lucky Seven" as the elite of the college court—Kansas, Seton Hall, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Duquesne, and St. Bonaventure.
Seton Hall, currently ranked as the No.16 team in the nation, is the only member of this group to play tonight-risking its 11-0 record against Creighton.
Syracuse was stopped chiefly because Pitt's Panthers found a way to stop six-foot, eight-inch Center Ed Miller. The Orange pivot man carried a 24-point a game average into Wednesday night's fray in Pittsburgh, but the Panthers throttled him with just a single goal and four free throws for a punty total of six points. Credit for the defensive job goes mainly to Pitt's Junior Center, Don Dirostek.

js working his charges as hard as ever in an effort to keep them in the sharpest form possible throughout the season. He points out that KU cannot afford to let up for a second. He also believes that being rated the nation's top team is a great honor to turn out to be a jinx as every team goes all out to defeat such highly-rated clubs.
KU is showing more polish, speeec anbd alance than it has in the past three years. Coach Allen attributes this to the experience of four of his starters who are playing their final year. Greater reserve depth is also a major factor in this season's fine team.
With the fine support of Dean Kelley, Charlie Hoag and several capable reserves, the KU team has risen to the top of the nation's cage teams.
