Ex-KU Cager Expected To Aid Oilers To Another AAU Title
Denver (U.P.)—The Colorado Aggies looked around today and wondered if winning an upset victory over Dallas, Texas, was worth it all as they entered the semi-finals of the National A.A.U. basketball tournament with three of the top cage teams in the country.

The college team from Fort Collins will meet the tall and talented Caterpillar Diesels of Pooria, Ill., in one semi-final game tonight.
And if the Aggies, playing for Poudre Valley Creamery, get by that one, all they have to look forward to is a game with either the Phillips Oilers of Bartlesville or Stewart Chevrolet of San Francisco. Those two teams meet in the other semi-final game tonight.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Claude Houchin, Captain and star guard of the 1950 K.U. basketball team, is one of the reasons the Phillips Oilers of Bartlesville, Okla., are favored to annex another national A.A.U. cage title Saturday night.
Houchin, K.U.'s second leading steer last year, is a starting guard on the annually famous Oiler team. His excellent rebounding and defensive play through the second half of the season played an important role in helping his team to another national A.A.U. Industrial league championship this year.
The four quarter final games yesterday went according to plan, except for the Aggies' victory over Vandergrift Motors of Dallas, Vandergrift, only a day before, had become the tourney's Cinderella team by dropping Oakland Blue 'N Gold with a stunning upset.
But Dallas was no match for the Aggies as Glen Anderson and Bill Gossett, two big boys but five inches shorter than Paul Nolan and Marcus Freiberger of the Texas club, drop-

Yankee Rookie Mickey Mantle Leads Hitters In Spring Training Exhibitions
New York (U.P.)—Could be there's something to this talk about Mickey Mantle being the next Joe DiMaggio for the New York Yankees, for a United Press survey disclosed today that he is the Grapefruit league's top hitter with a fantastic .571 average.
Not bad for a young man who doesn't think he's "ready" for the major-leagues yet; in fact, it wouldn't be bad for Dimaggio, who is batting a puny .111.
Come September, of course, it's far more likely Dimag will top the list and Mantle be far down the line, but until now the youngster has looked at the plate every inch what the yanks say he may be—the guy to take over center field when Dimaggio finally quits.
