Potent Pioneers Pose Threat To Jayhawkers
Jayhawker hopes for an early-season string of victories could be dampened here tomorrow night by the potent Pioneers from Denver university. | ___
The non-conference tussle will get underway at 7:30 o'clock at Hoch auditorium.
Denver coach Hoyt Brawner has a big and experienced squad on which to call. Three of his probable starters, John Griffin, Bob Knichehm and Dale Toft, average 206 pounds and 6 feet and $4\frac{3}{4}$ inches. Toft is the main scoring threat with a deadly hook shot.
All - American Clyde Lovellette will be well guarded by the tall trio in hope of cutting off KU's main source of points.
Kansas must have more scoring from its other four players if it expects to continue its winning ways. In KU's game with Baylor, the Terre Haute Terror racked up 28 of the 57 points made by Kansas as he again carried the point-making burden.
Bill Hougland and Bob Kenney were next in line with six points each. A more balanced scoring attack must be developed if the Jayhawkers hope to live up to their advanced billing.
The Pioneers are a fast breaking team which could give the slower Jayhawkers a difficult time. They have one victory under their belts as they rolled over a hapless Colorado State team 65-46 in the season's opener Dec. 1.
LaVannes Squires and Bill Heitholt will probably be used by Coach Allen in an attempt to inject more speed into the team.
The freshmen demonstrated considerable speed and ball handling ability as well as signs of scoring as in the first varsity play against Bavlor.
Injuries are hampering the Kansas club. John Keller is still out of action with a severe charleyhorse which has halted his cage activities for three weeks. The Page City senior may be in shape for Southern Methodist games next week.
The other crippled Jayhawker is Charlie Hoag. His football injury hasn't healed completely but treat-ment will bring him around in shape soon.
The game will be the first between the two schools since Kansas defeated Denver 36-25 in 1942.

Manager Thinks Present Crop Of Heavies Best In History
Santa Rosa, Calif.—(U.P.)The most successful manager in the history of boxing said today that the present crop of heavyweight contenders is the best the world ever has known.
That's the word from dapper John Leo McKernan, aged 63, and better known as Jack (Doc) Kearns.
"Why the current crop of heavyweight contenders is better than it ever was," the balding, sprightly manager said. "It's just like comparing the horse and buggy with the automobile and the automobile with the airplane—everything keeps improving."
He listed in the present crowd eligible to get a crack at Jersey Joe Walcott, former champion Ezzard Charles, his boy, Joey Maxim, the light-heavy champ; Lee Savold, Rocky Marciano and possibly, Joe Louis.
"Compare these fellows with the guys who were chasing Jack Dempsey," he went on. "Why, I licked most of them with a 160-pounder Mickey Walker. Standout candidates in those days included George Godfrey and Bearcat Wright, both 240-pounders, and Mickey licked em both; and he also licked Jack
Sharkey, although it was called a draw."
Kearns, a fast-talking, quick - thinking man started his career when he went to the Klondike and palled around with men like Jack London, Wilson Mizner, Robert Service. Rex Beach and Alex Pantages.
Since that time, he has managed seven world's champions—Abe Attel. featherweight; Benny Leonard. lightweight; Mickey Walker as a weltter champion; Jackie Fields, welter; Dempsey, heavyweight; and his current pride-and-joy, lightheavyweight King Joey Maxim.
He would rather talk about the future than the past and ahead he sees a rosy future.
He thinks Maxim will beat Ezzard Charles in their battle at the San Francisco Cow Palace, Dec. 12. After that, he believes that Maxim should get a shot at the world heavyweight crown worn by Walcott.

Taylor polled 797 points—102 first place votes, 78 second place votes and 53 for third. Neyland, coach of undefeated-uptied Tennessee, totaled 611 votes with 84 firsts, 50 seconds and 41 thirds. Munn totaled 536 with 66 firsts, 57 seconds and 35 thirds. Caldwell finished fourth in the balloting with 329 points—66 votes for first, 34 for second and 42 for third.

The last time Stanford made the Rose Bowl was Jan. 1, 1941. A fellow named Taylor played guard on that team. Taylor became Stanford head coach this season after Marchy Schwartz, his old boss quit.
At the start of the season, Taylor predicted Stanford would win nine of its 10 games. Many laughed, because the pre-season dope said Stanford would be lucky to finish in
the Pacific coast conference's first division.
But Stanford won nine of its 10 games—just as Taylor predicted—and is in the Rose Bowl against Illinois.
Told of his selection as coach of the year, Taylor said at Stanford, 'It's a great honor, but--you get something like that when you have a great bunch of assistants and a fine group of players.'
