Semper Runs Best Big Seven Two-Mile
By ART SCHAAF
Herb Semper, K.U.'s brilliant distance runner, ran the fastest two-mile race in the history of the Big Seven conference—a blazing 9:15.6—at Columbia, Mo., Friday night, but the Tigers' team power overwhelmed the Jayhawkers 75 to 29 in the annual indoor dual meet between the schools.

Total score ... 29 75
Missouri strategy backfired badly in both the two-mile and mile runs as M.U. Coach Tom Botts sent both his distance aces, Bill McGuire and Bob Fox, against Semper in a vain attempt to run him down. But the powerful Kansan virtually ran the pants off the Tiger runners and finished 40 yards ahead of the exhausted Missourians who tied for second place.
Semper's time was well under the old meet record of 9:32.6 which John Munski of Missouri set in 1940, and also bettered the Missouri field house record of 9:23.3 which Fox set against Nebraska only last week
By running both McGuire and Fox in the two-mile. Coach Botts passed up a chance for a Tiger victory. He also scored against McGuire out of his favorite event.
Botts, apparently figuring on past performances this season, thought his sophomore milers could cop the win, but he figured without a good 4:26.1 effort by Kansas' Cliff Abel who had had a 40 yard lead at the tape. In last year's M.U.-K.U. dual Abel bested Mecue in a stirring home-stretch sprint for second place behind Kansas' great Bok Karnes.
In amassing their 75 points the Tigers swept four events from the injury-ridled Kansans—the high hurdles, the low hurdles, the broad jump, and the shot put. Kansas didn't have an entry in the high sticks, and entered only one man in the low hurdles—two events in which the Jayhawkers are usually strong.
A Monday appendectomy shelved versatile Bob DeVinney who performs well in both hurdle races, the 60 yard dash, and the broad jump. A pulled thigh muscle made a spectator out of Jack Greenwood who has been high scorer for Kansas in the two previous meets.
DeVinnie will not be able to compete again indoors this season, but Coach Bill Easton hopes to have Greenwood ready for the conference indoor championships in Kansas City's municipal auditorium on Friday and Saturday, March 2 and 3.
Kansas was able to win firsts in only two events—the quarter-mile, and the pole vault. Team captain Emil Schutzel won the 440 with a thrilling hair-breath margin over Tiger Randy Vanet. After trailing Vanet throughout the race, the fiery little scooter stuck his chest out just far enough to best the Missouriian in the lunge for the tape. Schutzel was clocked in 51.9.

Beta Theta Pi will play Delta Upsilon Tuesday at 4 p.m. for the fraternity "A" basketball title and the Dark Horses take on the Draggin' 5 an hour later for the independent "A" crown. These four teams emerged undefeated from quarter and semi-final games played during the week-end.
Jim Stringfellow poured through seven fielders and a free toss to lead his Kappa Sig teammates. Don Ochs and Tony Witt each hit three field goals.
With Odd Williams hitting for 23 points, the Dark Horses had little trouble in roping to their 52 to 22 win over the Unnatural 5. Williams hit from all angles for his eleven field goals and had one out of two at the line. Teammate Dick Tomlinson got 11 and Chuck O'Neil had eight.
Kansas Plays Colorado At Boulder Tonight
Jim Pitmets had nine points on two field goals and five out of eight charity tosses for the Phi Gam's. Johnny Amberg hit seven counters.
The Beta's overwhelmed Sigma Chi 21 to 20 in a quarter-final game Friday and advanced to the finals with a 38 to 29 victory over the Phi Gam's Sunday night. They will oppose the D.U.'s who defeated the Sig Ep's 45 to 38 Thursday and the Kappa Sig's 37 to 33 Sunday.
Lanky Jerry Brownlee hit four fielders and three free throws to lead his Beta team against the Fiji's. Teammate Wally Altman was close behind with nine.
Curiously enough, all three of last year's league champions are again in the finals. The Beta's took the fraternity "A" crown in 1950 and later added the all-University championship to their impressive victory string by knocking off the Dark Horses, independent "A" titlists last season. The Phi Delta Theta quintet won "B" league honors.
D. U. was hard-pressed to emerge with their 37 to 33 win over the Kappa Sigs. With a 20 to 17 halftime score, it was a nip and tuck fight all the way. Jack Stoneestreet hit for 11 points and John Konek had seven.
The Phi Delta Theta "B" team will be matched against Beta "B" for the title in that league, with the contest scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday.
1950 Champs To Defend A' Crowns As Beta's, Dark Horses. Move On.
Don Richter made four field goals and a free throw to lead his Unnatural 5 team.
Draggin' 5 lead all the way to gain their 38 to 25 victory over Oread. With a 19 to 13 half-time lead, the victors slowly pulled away in the second period.

Place: Boulder, Colorado. Time: 8 p.m., M.S.T., tonight.
A Colorado victory tonight over KU, coupled with defeats for Nebraska at Kansas State and Iowa State against Missouri at Ames would move the Bucks into a three-way last place tie with 3-7 records.
Colorado's football and basketball teams have found Kansas teams a rather soft touch during the early stages of their respective games this year but folded badly in the final quarters to lose. Coach Lee's fighters will be out for revenge tonight.
Kansas plays its final Big Seven road game tonight at Boulder, Colo., meeting the last place Colorado Buffaloes.
The Buffs need victories in their final three games and would like nothing better than a victorious start tonight against the Sig Seven's second place Jayhawkers.
Colorado, with a 2-7 conference and a 4-17 season record, has had trouble winning this year for its new coach, H. B. "Bebe" Lee, who replaced Forrest "Frosty" Cox.
The Buffaloes are expected to start Bill Clay and Frank Gompert at forward, Kenny Koop, center, and Jim Armatas and Wayne Tucker at guard.
The Jayhawkers will encounter one of the league's top scorers tonight in Tucker, who has scored 246 points in 20 games for a 12.3 average.
Kansas should be able to control most of the rebounds with superior height. Koop (6-4) will probably attempt to halt K.U.'s big center, Clyde Lovellette, as he is Lee's tallest cager. Lack of height has hurt Nebraska all year.
In conference play, Tucker ranks fourth in scoring back of Lovellette, Oklahoma's Marcus Freiberger, and Nebraska's Bob Pierce. The Buffers outstanding guard has scored 123 points in nine Big Seven clashes.
The Lovellette vs. Tucker battle for scoring honors tonight promises to be one of the top attractions of the year in the Buffs' fieldhouse. Lovellette enters the battle with 224 points in 10 Big Seven games.
Kansas has lost three of its last four league games and is only one-half game ahead of the deadlocked third place Missouri Tigers and Oklahoma Sooners who have 5-4 conference marks.
Kansas had to come from behind in the second half to defeat the Buffaloes 54 to 48 during the first round of loop play in Lawrence earlier this year. But the Buffs will have to avoid their habitual second half slump if they intend to knock the Jayhawkers from their second place Big Seven standing.
Payne got 11 points on four field goals and three free throws for Draggin' 5 while Owings hit two fielders and six out of eight from the line.
Lyle led the Oread hall quintet with 14 and Anderson hit seven. Trailing until the last two minutes

6 p.m.—Phi Delt vs. Beta
the Beta "B" team, sparked by big Hal Cleawinger, pulled ahead of a tiring D.U. team for their hard-fought victory. The D.U.'s pulled out in front midway in the first quarter and the half ended with the score 17 to 13 in their favor.
Leading by three points with only two minutes left, the losers watched Cleavinger take matters into his own hands and score two quick baskets to pull his Beta team out in front by a single point. A D.U. free throw with less than a minute left went awry and from then on the D.U.'s never touched the ball.
Cleavinger's crucial two buckets brought his game total to 12 and teammate Marv Rollo dumped in 10 points from his post position.
Pete Konek hit 11 for the D.U. team and Chuck Schnetzler scored eight.
The Phi Delt "B" team had little trouble in downing Phi Gamma Delta by a 52 to 22 margin. With John Simons hitting 14 points in the first half and adding another bucket to his total in the second period, the Phi Delts were never in trouble.
Burwell Shepard turned in some fine rebound work for the victors as his teammates kept up their torrid shooting pace.
