Duck your heads and take for cover—the barrage from K-State has started. Sunday it was but an offical protest, Monday a demonstration in Kansas City for the benefit of Mr. McBride, and today the displeased Wildcats may arrive on the campus with branding irons and fiery swords. This is the last warning—take for cover. . .
We of the sports staff have but one comment to make on the Aggie antics —NUTS. But perhaps Dr. Allen had a better way of putting it. Monday he was quoted as saying that had the invitation been tendered to one of the other teams, we would have accepted the committee's decision and extended our best wishes to that school in its playoff with Bradley.
It seems that irritated Jack Gardner was on the phone most of the night of March 10. All he could get from the Drake residence in Norman was "there's nobody home." We hope Mr. Drake got a good night's sleep . . . The unhappy Aggie coach finally got a call through to Arthur Lonborg in Chicago who reported, "Mr. Drake will speak for the committee." And so the K-State phone bill mounts up. . .
Gardner dragged a large number of Kansas State students out to a city park in a driving snow storm Sunday night to violently express his opinion of the fifth district committee's selection of Dr. Allen's Jayhawkers as the team to meet Bradley March 20. Since it was cold outside, the Wildcat mentor suggested a bonfire be built. And so it was—with the names of the members of the selection committee painted on the sides of the blazing orange crates. All this of course, pleased the committee.
Not to stir up anymore controversy, but we wonder why we haven't heard anyone complaining up at Lincoln. The Cornhuskers also tied for the Big Seven crown, didn't they? Just can't understand where all this fuzz up the river is coming from.

Bradley Wins Over Syracuse At New York
New York, March 14—U.P.)-Second-seeded Kentucky meets City College of New York and third-seeded Duquesne plays LaSalle tonight in the remaining quarter-finals of the National Invitation basketball tournament for the right to join Bradley and St. John's in Thursday night's semi-finals.
Bradley turned the trick simply because it had too much class, but the redmen advanced thanks to the clever strategy of Coach Frank McGuire.
And if the games follow last night's pattern, in which top-seeded Bradley whipped Syracuse, 78 to 66 and fourth-ranked St. John's beat Western Kentucky, 69 to 60, at Madison Square garden, this year's tourney will have a round-of-four made up wholly of seeded teams. Both games last night followed almost identical patterns, the Braves from Peoria, and St. John's racing to victory after the mid-point of the final half, following tight struggles for 30 minutes before a crowd of 17,500.
Troubled no little by the towering height advantage of the Hilltoppers, St. John's wore the Kentuckians down with a race-horse game in the first half and then slowed abruptly to a possession game in the second half.
Bradley similarly was given a stiff battle by Syracuse before staging a late rally in a rough game marked by 58 fouls. The Braves struggled through nine ties and six lead changes in the first half before a three-point play by Gene Melchiorre gave them a 40 to 39 advantage at halftime.
game wide open.
A three-point play by Guard Bill Mann gave Bradley a 65 to 60 lead and a few minutes later the Braves went on an unbroken 11-point tear that produced an insumountable 78 to 62 advantage with a minute and a half to play.
sauthtime.
At the 10-minute mark, Ed Miller, Syracuse's 6 foot 6 inch center, fouled out and the Braves took advantage of the break to crack the game wide open.
Five foot, 8-1-2 inch Melchorise was the game's high scorer with 20 points, while All-American Paul Unruh hit for 15 and Mann for 13.
Nearly 7,160,000 World War II veterans had, at some time or another, taken education or training under the GI bill at the end of 1949.
Co-op Head Is Candidate
Luther H. Buchele, executive secretary of the North American Student Co-Operative league and a resident at the Jayhawk Co-op, was nominated as a Democratic candidate for the Lawrence city council in Tuesday's primary election. He was the winner in a three way Democratic contest in the third ward, which includes most of the heavily populated University student district.
Buchele's Republican opponent in the final city election on April 4 will be T. B. Parker, local Buick dealer, who won over one opponent. In the third ward, the two Republicans polled 261 votes compared to a total of 88 for the three Democrats. Buchele received a degree in Zoology in 1945, and his masters degree in bacteriology in 1947.
In addition to electing six new councilmen on April 4, Lawrence voters will decide on a proposed shift to a city manager government, and a $70,000 bond issue for street improvement.
