KU Cagers Aim For 2nd Victory Here Saturday
Both teams will be shooting for victory No. 2 of the new basketball season when Kansas plays the Denver university Pioneers here Saturday night.
DU won its first game with a decisive 65-46 beating of Colorado State college at Greeley, Dec. 1. The State team, however, is expected to finish at the bottom of the Mountain States league and probably can't be considered a good test of the Pioneers.
Dale Toft, 6 foot 6-inch center,
leads the Pioneer scoring attack along with Joe Hughes, a guard who has a deadly set shot.
Guards Dick Gray, Fred Howell are also returning veterans along with forwards John Griffin, Bob Knichrehm and John McGaughey.
Coach Hoyt Brawner has all of his last year's team, which took third in the Skyline league, with the exception of one player.
The Denver team is expected to be stronger than last year and is considered a contender for the Skyline championship.
A bright note was discovered, however, in that Coach Allen may have more powerful reserve strength than last year. LaVannes Squires, Everett Dye, Weston Johnson and Bill Heittholt served notice that they are capable of handling the varsity chores. All are sophomores except Heittholt, who is a freshman.
In defeating the Golden Bears of Baylor in their initial tilt Monday night Kansas still looked unpolished and lacked speed around the basket.
B. H. Born can replace Lovellette without any loss of team height. He lacks the tremendous scoring ability that Colossal Clyde has but his rebounding ability is improving. Further experience will doubtlessly result in great improvement in the tail Medicine Lodge sophomore.
Dimag To Tell Future Plans
Phoenix, Ariz. — (U.P.) — Joe Dia-
Maggio will tell co-owner Del Webb
of the New York Yankees today
whether he will play next year but
it will be at least 24 hours before
the rest of the baseball world is in-
formed of the $90,000-a-year outfielder's decision.
DiMaggio was to make his decision known to Webb at a private luncheon following his arrival from San Francisco this morning. Then the pair will fly in Webb's private plane to New York where DiMaggio's decision will be announced either tomorrow or Friday.
Webb and his partner, Dan Topping, already have indicated that DiMaggio can have his record $00-1000-a year contract for a fourth straight season merely by consenting to play. No effort will be made to slice his salary despite a .263 batting average in 1951.
DiMaggio's decision is awaited just as eagerly by the seven other clubs in the American league as by the Yankee management. For the decision entails much more than whether one of the greatest players in history has finally decided to call it a career.
General manager George Weiss and manager Casey Stengel have indicated at the minor league meetings at Columbus, Ohio, that they will adopt a "stand-pat" policy toward major trades if DiMaggio decides to play again.
At the same time, they indicated they would be prepared to open negotiations for Boston Red Sox slugger Ted Williams if DiMaggio decides to retire.
Wednesday, Dec. 5. 1951
The mystery concerning DiMaggio's plans and the resulting indecision by the Yankees as regards attempting to close a big deal apparently have been major factors in holding up tentative transactions at Columbus. DiMaggio's decision, one way or the other, undoubtedly will have an important bearing on whether big deals now in the "if" stage at Columbus will be closed when the owners move to New York for the major league meetings over the weekend.

Frosh Cagers Open Season Against Air Force Tonight
Coach Richard Harp's freshman basketball team gets a crack at a squad outside the Jayhawker realm tonight when it opens against Forbes Air Force base of Topeka at Hoch auditorium. Starting time is 7:30 p.m.
between ages of 10 and 18 in daily classes until Feb. 15.
Thoroughly thumped by the Jay- hawk varsity, 73-33 Friday, the "B" club makes its first scheduled start tonight.
Forbes was rudely bounced in its season opener with Kansas State's "B" squad. Dec. 1. The Wildcats won 98-45 in the K-State-Purdue
Columbus, Ohio — (U,P) — The Brooklyn Dodgers, with what generally is regarded (except by the Giants) as the best club in baseball, went out after real big game today—Stan Musial, the best all around player in the game.
Although none of the three clubs involved in the proposed deal would comment, the report was:
There was more substance to the possibility of a deal between the Dodgers and the Cineinnati Reds, involving that additional pitcher the bums have been seeking for so long.
1—That the Dodgers would give up outfielders Carl Furillo and Snider plus $16000 in cash to the St. Louis Cardinals in return for Musial.
Dodgers Want Stan Musial
Dodger vice-president E. J. (Buzz) Bavasi met with general manager Gabe Paul of the Reds and Bavasi announced, "I think there is a good chance that we will work out something with the Reds, for Gabe is anxious to make changes that will help his ball club."
"And at that time all of you fellows laughed," he said. "Well it just happened that somebody else had the last laugh."
The source which outlined the story went on to reveal that he also was the man who forecast that the club owners would repudiate A. B. (Happy) Chandler as commissioner.
2—The Cardinals would send Furillo to the New York Giants for Eddie Stanky, the little guy owner Fred Saigh of the Cardinals wants for their new manager.
General speculation was that Howie Fox was the Red pitcher involved with the Dodgers offering outfielder Cal Abrams and infielder Rocky Bridges.
preliminary
Forbes, though highly outclassed, did show scoring potential not centered on any one player. Two of the Air Force five notched nine points. The rest were well scattered.
Bolstering the Jayhawk roster will be Ken Buller, Bob Godwin, Allen Kelley and Dean Smith. Wes Whitney, untested in the varsity-frosh game, will start at center for KU.
Smith, 5 feet 10 inches, chalked up six for the freshmen. Kelley, 5 feet 11 inches, scored two for the varsity. Both will start at guard positions.
Buller, 5 feet 11 inches, and Godwin, 6 feet 1 inch, will be at the forward positions for Harp. Buller got six points, Godwin got four in the freshman game.
With the elimination of the rule that "B" squad members cannot play varsity ball. Harp will have a healthy supply of reserves for his starting five. New regulations permit "B" team members to move up to the varsity if they're good enough.
Barring injury to a weak ankle, Whitney, 6 feet 3 inches, will hold down the center position.
