UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE SEVEN
By Ray Soldan
To the casual reader it probably passed unnoticed, but Monday was the beginning of a new era in the history of sports journalism on the campus. In other words, there was a change in the sports staff on the Daily Kansas with Dilsaver, Leonard, McIntiite, Millikan, and Soldan stepping to the fore.
What does this mean? Perhaps nothing, but we have prepared a list of rules which we shall try to follow. (1). We shall love K-State. (2). We shall spell words corrective. (3). We shall love K-State. (4). We won't use no incorrect grammar. (5). We shall love K-State. (6). We will not use the old cliches often found on sports pages. We shall be original and develop some new clichés, and (7). We shall love K-State.
Enough with the aims and purposes of the new sports staff and on now to try to clear off the odds and ends left by the retiring staff.
From Oklahoma comes word that Wayne Glasgow, the Sooner court whiz, who was largely responsible for knocking off Kansas at Norman to throw the Big Seven basketball into a three way finish, is slated to join the Phillips "66" Oilers next fall. Should Glasgow decide to join the Oilers he will be following an oft-traveled path from Norman to Bartlesville. Such Oilers as Jimmy McNatt, Dick Reich, and Gerald Tucker did their college playing at Oklahoma.
Iowa State may climb back to the high spot it hit in basketball in the early 1940's if a story appearing in the Iowa State Daily may be taken as an indication. The story reports that "the Iowa State freshman basketball team rolled up another victory" recently, its 13th in a row. However, this is perhaps misleading as conference rules do not permit freshman basketball teams to compete against other schools. Thus, the little Cyclones, or "Breezes" as the school's sports publicity director calls them, just played other campus teams in compiling their record.
A faculty member informs us that the K-State students and the Manhattan people are all solidly behind Jack Gardner, the Wildcat basketball coach. He adds that even the pigs are rooting for him.
Bud Wilkinson, Oklahoma's young football coach, who was named the 1949 "Coach of the Year," received still more recognition this past week by being named a co-coach for the West team in the annual East-West Shrine game to be played in San Francisco on Dec. 30. However, as it looks now Bud will not be keeping that coaching engagement. He probably will be readying his own Oklahoma squad for a third straight bowl appearance.
What is the sports writer who starts all of his basketball stories with "the sophomoric Kansans" going to do next year when Kansas' one sophomores are no longer sophomores? Somehow 'the junioric Kansans' just doesn't sound right.
Bradley, CCNY In Garden Tonight
New York, March 28—(U.P.)-City College of New York, the choice of hard-hearted bookmakers, eagleeyed visiting coaches, and 34,250 biased students, is a two-point favorite to beat Bradley tonight and become the first college basketball team ever to win two national championships in one season.
A victory of C.C.N.Y. will give coach Nat Holman's Beavers the first sweep of the National Invitation and N.C.A.A. tournament titles. C.C.N.Y. beat Bradley in the N.I.T. finish the past week, 69 to 61, and tonight's N.C.A.A. clash also will mark the first time the same two teams have played for both grownns in the same season.
