UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
Along the JAYHAWKER trail
By BOB NELSON Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Saturday's game at Nebraska is the first of seven straight Big Seven games for Kansas. Five of these are on the road with the Jayhawkers meeting Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa State, Kansas State, and Colorado in that order. The two remaining K.U. home games are conference contests against Oklahoma (Feb. 19) and Iowa State (March 7).
We see no reason why K.U. shouldn't defeat the Oklahoma Sooners and the Iowa State Cyclones in the home music hall, but will have to play its best ball of the year to win the five important road games.
And from the way things now look up Kansas State way, Coach Allen's club will have to win all of these games if it is to tie or win the conference title outright.
K. U.
HARRY GOOD
Nebraska Basketball Coach
Nebraska's Harry Good, who is now in his fifth season as head basketball coach, has defeated Kansas four straight years at Lincoln. The Jayhawkers must overcome this home court jinx Saturday night, or they'll all but eliminate themselves from the conference title picture.
Against Good, Kansas has won three of five home contests but his teams hold a 6 to 5 edge in all games.
After tieing for the league title last year with Kansas and Kansas State with an 8-4 record, Nebraska's rebuilding program has been responsible for its none too impressive 6-10 season record to date and its 1-4 Big Seven record.
K.U.
At the moment, we can't see any team except maybe Kansas capable of defeating the K-Staters and K.U. will be confronted with accomplishing this tough task before more than 13,000 loyal Wildcats. We expect Kansas State to enter this important Feb. 24th game with an 8-0 conference record and Kansas with an 8-1 mark.
In our estimation, just how well Kansas fares in its seven remaining conference games is strictly up to the individual players. Coach Allen's club is capable of playing great ball as has been shown in spotty performances in four of K.U.'s five defeats, but each player will have to "put out" his best efforts all the way if Kansas is to win these games.
Last year Kansas was barely edged out by Kansas State 55 to 50 in the Wildcats' tiny Nichols gym crackerbox. This year K.U. will have only some 13,000 odd fans to fight but won't have to battle the close-in crowd as they did on the old battleground. It'll be a bit more like playing in Kansas City's municipal auditorium with the crowd back away from the playground.
This K.U.-K-State game should be the game of all games, and we'll not be too surprised if the Allenmen break what should be a 14-game winning streak for Jack Gardner's club by that time.

Commissioner Candidates May Include Chandler
Chicago—(U.P.)Two members of baseball's "screening" committee insisted today that A. B. Chandler will be one of the major candidates when the major league club owners meet March 12 to consider the election of a commissioner.
Chandler's office announced Wednesday that the two league presidents scheduled the election meeting at Miami Beach, Fla., at the request of the "screeners."
Phil Wrigley of the Chicago Cubs, a member of the four-man committee, said Chandler is "one of about 20 men who are regarded as genuine prospects." Ellis Ryan of the Cleveland Indians, another member of the committee, said, "It is my opinion that someone will nominate Chandler and that he will have some support."
The other two members of the committee, Lou Perini of the Boston Braves and Del Webb of the New York Yankees, both known anti-Chandler men, did not comment.
The commissioner himself passed through here en route to Milwaukee, Wis., for a dinner and he was glum. He was asked if he would insist on holding the owners to his unex-
pired term if not elected, and he said quietly. "I don't know what I'd do."
Chandler was notified in December by the major league club owners that his contract would not be renewed when it expires May 1, 1952. He was expected to resign as soon as he was told, but instead he insisted that he would remain in office "until the last second."
He also has conducted a campaign for re-election since then.
The "screening" committee has not released the names of the men it is considering. However,
North Carolina's flue-cured (cigarette) tobacco production in 1950 averaged 1,348 pounds an acre—a record.
