Hoag, Keller Bolster Jayhawker Cage Stock
Things were looking up in the KU cage camp Tuesday afternoon as Charlie Hoag reported for practice and John Keller rejoined the squad after being sidelined a month with a severe charley-horse.
Hoag has been undergoing treatment for the muscle injury which plagued him throughout football season. He is able, however, to see only limited practice and it will be probably sometime yet before the speedster will be in top form.
Keller was in the midst of the battle for the guard position opposite Bill Hougland when he suffered a severe charley-horse in practice. He is still slowed somewhat but the Page City senior is expected to be able to make the trip to Dallas for the games with Southern Methodist Friday and Saturday nights.
Last year Keller served as a stand-in for Clyde Lovette and did well in the clutch against Iowa State and Oklahoma A&M.
Hoag and Keller will have a hard time edging Dean Kelley out of his starting berth. He has shown marked improvement and scoring ability this season.
He is expected to see more action at guard this season as B. H. Born is now available to replace Lovellette.
Coach Phog Allen was pleased with Kelley's performance against Creighton Monday night. He has chipped in 25 points in the last two games in addition to fine ball handling and defensive work.

Stanky Takes Cardinal Reins
St. Louis — (U,P) — Eddie Stanky peppery little second baseman, took over the managerial reins of the St. Louis Cardinals today and promised he'll field a hustling club next spring.
Stanky was signed yesterday to a two-year term as manager by Cardinal owner Fred Saigh at an estimated $35,000 annual salary, and promptly promised he'd be a playing manager.
Baseball men agreed that Stanky, who learned many of his baseball tricks under "Lippy Lee" Durocher, is just the man to inject hustle into the aging Cardinal club. Colorful and swashbuckling, Stanky has long been known as a battler who clawed his way to major league success on courage and fight.
"They're all grown men and should hustle," Stanky said of his new charges. "I'm sure most of them will but there might be a few who have to be reminded."
Stanky, 34, was silent on his rebuilding plans for the Cards, who finished third last season under soft-spoken manager Marty Marion.
He said the Cardinals have many young players coming up from farm clubs who might solve "a lot of problems."

DiMaggio Trades Bat, Glove For New Television Career
DiMaggio hung up his glove yesterday for good, and the battered finger mitt with which he made his last putout in the 1951 world series quickly was consigned to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N. Y.
New York—(U.P.)-Joe DiMaggio, an American success story of the grubby little kid from Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco who became the greatest ball player of his time, was ready for a new career today as a suave, soft-voiced television broadcaster.
"And the guy who wore it belongs up there, too," said manager Casey Stengel. "I sure like to know where I'm gonna get somebody to take his place."
The lanky Yankee, key man of baseball's second golden era, wound up his glorious 13-year career with the Yanks in a blaze of fanfare but with an almost childishly simple explanation.
"Baseball wasn't any fun any more," he said. "It wasn't a game with me, and so I through. I've played my last game."
But he was still a Yankee. President Dan Topping of the world champs was emphatic about that.
"Joe definitely will remain with us in some capacity," Topping said. "We have talked about him doing television for us. And he promised to stay with our organization."
The television position is open because Dizzy Dean, who handled the Yankees on video last year has gone to the St. Louis Browns.
DiMaggio, who speaks slowly and distinctly and is considered to have good radio or television diction, definitely leans toward that kind of a career. He said he did not want to manage a club, and that he had no desire to be a coach or a scout.
Women Play Tight Games
The other scores gave Watkins hall a 27 to 15 win over Delta Gamma; Freshman MK had to forfeit to Locksley after leading 26 to 23; Pi Beta Pfieh defeated the Co-hops 27 to 25; Monchonsia won over Freshman BA 19 to 14 and Delta Delta Delta defeated Ch Omega 26 to 14.
Bv JACKIE JONES
Lockies won a forfeited game from the MK's after trailing 26 to 23. In women's basketball rules, a team must forfeit a game when there are less than five players. Two of the six MK players fouled out of the game, and they had no substitutes.
Good defensive play, which was lacking last week, kept the women's intramural basketball scores low in the games Tuesday.
The only game in which the scores went out of the twenties, was a close battle between Miller hall and Sigma Kappa. Sigma Kappa coming on out on top 36 to 35.
LEON'S SHOE STORE
Pi Beta Phi took another close game from the Co-hops 27 to 25. At the half the winners were behind by one point, but came back in the second period. Anne MacLaughlin tallied 19 points for the Pi Phi's and Betty van der Smissen got the same number for the losers.
The Freshman BA squad took a low scoring contest from Monchonsia 19 to 14.
