Hoag Ready For Action Against Pesky Sooners
Jayhawker cage stock has risen even higher as Dr. M. E. Gross, team physician, announced Thursday afternoon that Charlie Hoag would be able to see limited action when KU opens its conference schedule against Oklahoma at Hoch auditorium Saturday night.
Coach Phog Allen intends to use Hoag some against the Sooners but plans no change in his starting lineup. Hoag has been hindered with an injured groin muscle since early in the football season. The slow healing injury forced him to miss KU's first ten basketball games and he has had to workout only lightly for weeks.
Tipoff time will be 7:35 o'clock for the game which will be broadcast by radio station WREN of Topeka.
KU has beaten Colorado, MU and K-State and on the basis of comparative scores should have little trouble with the young Oklahoma team coached by Bruce Drake.
Coach Phog Allen and his squad, however, are still mindful of last season's the OU team. KU has considerable prestige at stake in addition to the Big Seven conference race. Kansas is currently rated the Nation's top team by the Associated Press and has a string of 10 victories this season.
The Sooners, who opened their conference play Thursday night with a 61-52 win over Colorado, will be out to pull their second major upset of the season. They downed a previously undefeated Stanford club 77-71 in the Big Seven pre-season tournament at Kansas City. It was only the second victory of the season for OU who took fifth place in the tourney.
Sherman Norton has been spea- heading OU's scoring attack, along with Bob Waller and Del McEacherm.
The OU club was measured by the Missouri Tigers 61-49 and in their final tourney match, they were trounced by Kansas State 86-69.
Sterling Jones and Ron Blue, both sophomores, add considerable speed to the quintet which is not especially tall.OU's Coach Drake will probably have his charges try to control the ball to force a low scoring tussle.
Clyde Lovellette, KU's giant center, is currently the nation's top scorer with a 27.3 average. Teammate Bob Kenney is also ripping the cords with a 14.5-point average. Bill Lienhard is traveling at an 8.2 pace against 6.5 last season. Bill Houglund, has a 7.2 average compared to a 5.4 average over the route last season.

Vejar To Meet Bolanos Tonight
Wolfson's 743 Mass. Call 675
New York —(U.R.)— Young Chico Vejar's scramble up the stairway to the stars may be blocked tonight at Madison Square Garden by the descending Enrique Bolanos.
Vejar, university freshman and welterweight rookie, faces the stiffest test of his brief, brilliant fistic career in the television 10-room with veteran Bolanos, a slick Mexican from Pasadena, Calif.
At 27 Bolanos is regarded as "shipping" because of his spotty routine in 1838 when he won but three of nine bouts and had two draws.
At 20, Vejar of Stamford, Conn., is rated a "comer" because he won 36 of 37 bouts in less than two years of professional fighting, and his only loss was on a widely disputed split decision to Eddie Compo. Sept. 21.
However, the Mexico-born boxer-puncher from Pasadena has been a top-flightier who campaigned very successfully as a lightweight and hopes to do likewise as a welter-weight.

Kentucky Sets Scoring Record
New York —(U.P.) A raging, angry pack of Kentucky Wildcats clawed its way back toward the basketball heights today with the greatest scoring spree in its colorful history.
Smarting from their one-point upset at the hands of St. Louis in the final round of the Sugar Bowl tournament last week, the Wildcats made their "comeback appearance" at Owensboro, Ky., a rousing success last night by crushing Mississippi, 116 to 58, in a Southeastern conference game.
In addition to setting a Kentucky basket-banging record, the 116 point barrage also set a new record for the conference.
Cliff "The Cat" Hagan, who is filling in at center in the absence of seven-foot Bill Spivey, led the assault with 37 points on 10 goals and 17 free throws. Bobby Watson was the next high scorer with 18, and that was the most fitting, for the mayor of Owensboro had declared Thursday "Hagan-Watson day" to honor the two local athletes.
Mississippi, which had the misfortune to catch Kentucky in its angriest mood, found itself behind by 30-17 at the end of the first period. And then it was 62-23 at the half. Wildcat subs started appearing in the second half but still Ole Miss couldn't stem the tide.
The amazing Wildcat win stole last night's show from a thundering upset—West Virginia's 100 to 75 conquest of previously unbeaten New York U. at New York's Madison Square Garden.
The NYU Violets went into the game with a 12-game winning streak, longest in the nation, and a ranking as the No. 7 team in the nation. But West Virginia zoomed to a quick 13-1 lead and from then on the game was strictly "no contest."

North, South Squads Practice For 3rd Annual'Money'Bowl
Mobile, Ala.—(U.P.)—The North and South squads went through their final workouts today for the third annual "pay-for-play" senior bowl game here tomorrow.
This is the only bowl game in which the competing players are paid for their services, with members of the winning team each receiving $500 and the losers $400 each.
A crowd of 20,000 is expected for the game, and the most interested spectators will be professional football scouts assigned to line up potential stars for the National Football league.
The South has won the previous two games, but the North, boasting a well-coordinated running and passing attack, was favored by one touchdown in tomorrow's tilt.
Ed "Mighty Mo" Modzelewski, the hero of Maryland's victorious Sugar Bowl team, spearheads the Northerners' ground game, while Fred Bennens, from Southern Methodist, will handle the passing.
