Semper Meets No.1 Rival In Dual With Missouri
By DON PIERCE
Stepping in to perpetuate a running Kansas-Missouri track feud are the Jayhawkers' Herb Semper and Bob Fox of the Tigers, who face-off for the 11th time tonight when the two teams collide in their 38 annual indoor dual meet at Columbia.
This two-man vendetta might have drawn more prominence earlier had it not been for the torrid matches between K.U.'s peerless Bob Karnes and Missouri's Bill McGuire through the last two years in the mile.

I-M Volleyball Play Will Begin March 5
Intramural volleyball play will begin Monday, March 5. The deadline for entries is Thursday, March 1. Entry blanks now are available in the intramural office.
This year's volleyball program will be the largest in the 17-year history of the sport at K.U. There will be five divisions—fraternity A, B, and C, and independent A, and B. The C division is new this year.
Matches will consist of the best two out of three games of 15 points each. Games will probably be scheduled twice a week and no postponements will be permitted except under unusual circumstances. The official 1951 volleyball rules will be followed.
Last year's winners were Phi Delta Theta in A, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon in B.
distance on the N.C.A.A. books, and are no less proficient at it than were Karnes and McGuire in the shorter haul.
To date the red-haired Jayhawker has bested his game foe in all ten starts, but it's taken some shining efforts to turn the trick. Furthermore Fox's early performances this winter reflect that he may be catching up at last.
The 138-pound junior from Maplewood already has shattered one of the Tigers' most hallowed records, John Munski's Brewer fieldhouse mark of 9:30.7, which stood for ten
years. Fox fractured this just before Christmas with a 9:29.8 effort in a Varsity-Freshman dual.
Since then he has lowered it twice, galloping 192.8 as the Bengals thrashed Iowa State 87 to 17, and 192.5 last Saturday in the surprisingly heavy 71 to 33 win over Nebraska. With Semper the foe he should be primed to approach his best all-time effort of 92:11, which he unwound last June in the Big Seven-Southwest dual at Dallas.
hawks' opening dual, Semper struck back in normal form last Saturday with a 9:28. against Oklahoma.

The new N.C.A.A. cross-country champion will be levelling in this one too, since he must defend his Big Seven Indoor title the following week at Kansas City. This means the 10-year-old meet record of 9:326, also held by Munski, should topple easily.
Semper and Fox both leaped into prominence as mere sophomores last season when they ran 3-6 at the N.C.A.A. The barrel-chested Forest Park, Ill. product blazed a new K.U. record in this one at 9:15.0 while Fox was clocking at 9:25.5.

500th Victory At Kansas Is Dr. Allen's Goal Saturday
Kansas basketball Coach "Phog" Allen couldn't pick a tougher spot for his 500th Jayhawker victory than Saturday's pivotal Big Seven basketball engagement in Manhattan.
It will be the doctor's second try at this pinnacle since his club notched its thirteenth win of the season with a 56 to 54 conquest of Iowa State in Ames last Saturday. A senior substitute named John Rodgers kept the veteran ringmaster from the half-grand mark here Monday night with a two-hand set shot from 30 feet out which handed Oklahoma a 61 to 59 victory at the final gun.
Allen opened the season with 486 victories since he assumed the Jayhawk reins for keeps in 1920. His current edition has lifted that total to 499 by winning 13 of its first 20 games. In 34 years his Kansas teams have dropped only 185, thus amassing a percentage of .729.

Allen collected his 400th conference victory at Ames, a feat that isn't likely to be matched for some time. Overall he owns a mark of 679 triumphs and 199 losses for a mark of 773.
Only three active coaches today can top this percentage table, Kentucky's Adolph Rupp, an Allen pupil; Oklahoma A. and M.'s Hank Iba, and Harold Anderson, Bowling Green. None, however, can boast as many victories. Ed Diddle, Western Kentucky's bombastic boss, is the only other tutor even beyond 500 in this department.

Here is Allen's school-by-school winning log:
If victory is achieved against Kansas State, there will not have been many more important victories in Allen's entire 500 since he came to Mt. Oread after seven consecutive seasons of championship winning at Warrensburg Teachers.
A victory would keep alive Kansas' flickering title hopes and place most of the Big Seven championship emphasis on a March 5 meeting between the league-leading Wildcats and Oklahoma at Manhattan.
Bruce Drake's Sooners administered the Wildcats their only conference defeat, a 46 to 49 loss at Norman Feb. 19.
Golf Candidates Will Meet Sunday
Candidates for the 1951 Varsity golf squad are requested to meet at the Lawrence Country club at 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 25, Coach Bill Winey said today.
Any men interested in Varsity golf, but who cannot be at the Country club next Sunday, should call 404 at 1 p.m. Sunday and leave their name and telephone number.
The Jayhawkers were conference golf champions last year, and placed ninth in the national collegiate meet.
