Oklahoma A&M Thinclads Lose Ace KU Is After 16th Straight Win
Any hopes A&M track followers had of upsetting a powerful University of Kansas two-mile team Friday in a dual meet at Stillwater, were dashed by the loss of a freshman star, Frederick Eckhoff.
The Norway race, running his first American collegiate race, broke his leg in the triangular meet won by the Aggies over Texas A&M and Texas University.
Leading his teammate, Lonnie Dunkin into the stretch at College station. Eckhoff staggered. He finished the race a step ahead of Dunkin, then collapsed. Later x-rays revealed a broken bone. He will be out for the season.
Kansas, on the other hand, has the makings of a team stronger than the 50 outfit, who won the Big 7 title. And strung together a record of 15 straight wins. Led by cross country national champ, Herb Semper, now in his senior year, the Jayhawks are loaded in the sophomore department, too.
Coach Ralph Higgins can see little chance of beating Kansas. He had been counting heavily upon Eckhoff, and now must rely upon his one remaining veteran, Dunkin.
Of the five sophs facing varsity competition for the first time, Wes Santee, Ashland speedster, already
has toured Japan with a U.S. track team.
The others include Norman Bitner.

The K-State lads opened the Big Seven season last Saturday with a one-sided trouncing of Iowa State. Their team is led by sophomore Jim Jorns.
the thinclads from on top of the hill will meet Kansas State, rated by their coach, as the best "he's ever had."
Lou Little Has A Job For Life
New York — (U.P.) —Columbia may have won its last game of the season but Lou Little's shredded voice can resound across Baker field for another 22 years if he wants it that way.
The KU team will leave Friday morning, fly to Stillwater, compete Friday afternoon and come back Friday night. "That way," Coach Bill Easton explained, "the boys miss only a minimum of classes."
Since coming to Morningside Heights in 1930, hawk-billed Lou has become as much a part of Columbia as that bronze statue of the Lady which sits on the library steps through all kinds of rain and sleet.
GET WISE!
It's Hard To Believe, But . . .
It's cheaper to drive a rented car from Buddy Gallagher's Hertz-Drive-Ur-Self System. You can go 500 to 1500 miles, use the car 6 days, and pay only $ 6 \frac{1}{2} c $ a mile. Gas, oil, repairs, everything furnished.
Little's teams also have had their share of foul weather. He's never known an undefeated season but remains one of the few coaches who only looks over his shoulder to return a greeting.
"Drive a shiny new car that's full of zip, Be wise, call us before your next trip."
Buddy Gallagher
It is at Columbia that they brag about how well the football players do scholastically—better than any other campus group. Wise guys add that they often play like it. But there have been years when Little's small squads shut them up fast.

"Nice looking bunch of ends, Lou," an old friend said as Columbia came onto the field.
There was that New Year's day of 1934, for instance, when the Lions came out for the Rose Bowl clash with Stanford.
"Ends, hell, that's the squad." Little rasped back. Then, for the benefit of the radio audience, Lou said. "Well, we all got out here all right and we're going to play a game of ball. It ought to be a good game." He wouldn't elaborate.
Stanford, which had taken a lot of ribbing for inviting a supposed soft-touch, was beaten 7 to 0 when Red Matal sloshed through the rain to the only touchdown on the famed KF-79 play.

Bums Place 4 All-Stars
New York—(U,R,P)—The Giants and Dodgers set the pace on the United Press All-Star National League team announced today, landing seven out of the 10 positions to dominate matters just as they did during the pennant race.
On the All-Star team, however, Brooklyn came out in front of the Giants with four players on the list selected by 24 veteran baseball writers—three from each league city. The Giants placed three players and the other spots—all in the outfield—went to the Phils, Cardinals, and Pirates.
The Dodgers named were catcher Roy Campanella, pitcher Preacher Roe, first baseman Gil Hodges, and second baseman Jackie Robinson. Pitcher Sal Maglie, shortstop Alvin Dark, and third baseman Bobby Thomson were the Giant players named. The outfield berths went to Stan (The Man) Musial of the Cardinals, Ralph Kiner of the Pirates, and Richie Ashburn of the Phillies
Two players, the magnificent Musial and the indestructible Campanella were unanimous choices, although Musial received some of his votes at first base. Both were repeaters from last year's honor team along with Hodges and Kiner.
Musial, who has won just about every honor in the books, again took the league batting championship with a .355 average, the same big title he has taken five out of the last eight years. In addition he set the pace on triples with 12 and smacked 33 homes. Ashburn was a sharp standout in center, enjoying his best year with the otherwise disappointing Phils. He batted 344, stole 29 bases and got the most hits, 121, and played a whale of a game defensively.
Kiner, the home run king for six straight years for a record that may stand in the National League books for some time, got 42 homers, batted in 109 runs and had a .309 batting mark.
