Track Men Ready For Indoor Season
Track Coach Bill Easton is readying his squad for the season's first indoor meet Saturday against the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Lincoln. Nebraska is one of the teams favored to unseat K.U. as conference track champions. The Jayhawkers pulled a surprise last year to win their first indoor title since 1934, but they aren't counted on to repeat.
Coach Easton has only eight lettermen on hand, including two mile champ Herb Semper and Captain Emil Schutzel. Other lettermen are Cliff Abel, Dave Breidenthal, Bob DeVinney, Jim Dinsmore, Jim Floyd, and Jack Greenwood.
Chief losses from the 1950 championship squad are distance stars Pat Bowers and Bob Karnes. They accounted for 18 of Kansas' 40-point total last year with alternating one-two finishes in the half-mile and two-mile.

BILL HOUGLAND, 6-foot 4-inch Jayhawker guard, is expected to continue his outstanding play against the Cornhuskers Saturday night in the Nebraska capital city.

Fearless Fraley Gives Sports Facts, Figures
New York, Feb. 7 (U.P.)—Fearless Fraley's facts and figures:
The Brooklyn Dodgers are expecting great things this season from Edwin (Duke) Snider and a survey of the 24-year-old outfielder's 1950 performances gives every indication that he may land at the top this season.
For the Duke last season led the National league in hits and total bases, was among the first six in seven other attacking departments and was third in the league in assists, putouts and total chances. Considering that it was only his second full season at Brooklyn, the boy was really boomin'...
Lew Worsham of Oakmont, Pa., wasn't kidding when, after winning the Phoenix Open, he said: "it's been a long, dry spell." The "chin" as he is known to the golfing pros, has had tough sledding since he won the National Open in 1947. Even with the $2,000 first money at Phoenix, he isn't among the top 25 money winners, and last year he didn't make the first 50 in the P.G.A. tournament summary list... There was no reason. Lew just lost the touch...

Billikens Nudge Wichita, 49 to 48
Wichita—(U.P.)—Matching their favored rivals in scoring from the field, the Wichita university cagers could not cope with the efficiency of St. Louis university basketeers at the free throw line last night and St. Louis won, 49 to 48.
The thrilling Missouri Valley conference game produced St. Louis' 17th triumph against four defeats in all games and the team's seventh conference win. The loss was the fourth in eight conference starts for Wichita.
Both teams hit 18 field goals, but St. Louis cashed in on 13 of 24 free throw attempts whereas Wichita converted 12 of 22 free tosses.
Guard Ray Steiner clinched the game for St. Louis by quarterbacking a Billiken ball freeze in the last three and one-half minutes of play. He also sank a vital free throw with 30 seconds remaining to run the score to 49-46.

Ousted Baseball Commissioner Among Those Applying For His Position
New York—(U.P).Everyone wants to be baseball commissioner including the baseball commissioner.
Boston Braves owner Lou Perini said that his committee to nominate a new baseball boss has screened "25 to 50 top flight candidates," and that it has 100 more applications from hopefuls who won't net much serious thought.
Meanwhile, the present commissioner, A. B. Chandler, continued to angle for the job even though he has been informed by major league club owners that his contract won't be renewed when it expires next year. Speaking at the New York Baseball Writers association dinner, Chandler said he has received letters from fans who "want to know all the facts" about his dismissal.
"Unfortunately," he said, "I have been able to give them only arguments for the defense. The full brief filed by the plaintiff has never been placed in my hands."
This was another sum-up of Chandler's claim that the club owners never have given any reason for not renewing his contract.
Perini said his screening committee—composed of Phil Wrigley
As to criticism that he has been "electionering" to keep his job, Chandler said, "bickering, dickering and horse trading are traditional parts of the American scene. So also is fair play."
of the Chicago Cubs, Del Webb of the New York Yankees and Ellis Ryan of the Cleveland Indians, in addition to the Braves boss—took no action at its meeting. "We only checked the names and ages and qualifications of 25 to 50 top flight candidates," he said.
No second meeting has been scheduled. "However," Perimi pointed out, "this is the sort of job where all you have to do is call up the other fellows and say, 'what do you think of so-and-so'."
