Among those who may be around to keep Hamline company during the tournament is Beloit (Wisconsin) college. However, Beloit must win the Wisconsin play-off, involving among other teams, the Rutgers football team and their high-scoring former Nate De Long. De Long scored 56 points against Marshall college in the 1948 N.A.I.B tourney.
The Kansas representant 'n the N.A.L.B. tournament at Kansas City, Mo., will be determined in a playoff between Fort Hays State, winner of the Central conference, and the Bulldogs, allist of the Kansas conference at Eastern Kentucky 7, 8 and 9. The two teams will play a best of three series.
Hays, which wrapped up the C.I.C. title Feb. 25 with a victory over Rockhurst, replaces Emporia State as the Central conference champion. Emporia's Hornets had been the Kansas representative in the N.A.I.B. tourney the past three years.
Kansas Wesleyan won the Kansas conference title outright this season after sharing it with Ottawa university the past year, then losing out in a play-off game to see which club would meet the Central conference champion in a single elimination game for the NAIA bid.
Mike Oberhelman and Carl Kopek, both of Topeka, were selected by a popular vote of the district members to officiate the play-off series. Arrangements to hold the play-off on a neutral court and for the number of games to be played were made at a meeting of the member schools the past December.
Thirty-two teams will compete for the N.A.J.B. championship, Hamline university of St. Paul, 1949 champion, will return to the Kansas City arena to defend its title.
Oglevie, Nixon Win Ping-Pong Doubles
The N.A.I.B. affair begins March 13 and runs through March 18. Reservations may be obtained from A. O. Duer, N.A.I.B. secretary, Hotel Phillips, Kansas City, Mo.
Gerald Oglevie, College junior, and Jay Nixon, fine arts senior, won first place Monday in the doubles ping-pong tournament sponsored by Student Union activities.
Runners-up were Fletcher Abbey, third year law, and Frank Bayless, business junior. The team of Alvin Herrington and Richard Hetson College Juniors, took place at Armenia Bosier, College sophomore, teamed with Rita Carl, education sophomore, to win fourth place.
The tournament was directed by Jack Conlon and Richard Cramer, engineering freshmen.
He proved it by waiting all night in front of a Madison used car lot that offered a car for 99 cents.
Science Uses Atom To Date Old Casket
Chicago—(U.P.)—Two University of Chicago scientists, using an "atomic calendar," have come within a century or two of fixing the age of an Egyptian mummy's casket.
In Science Magazine, Prof. Williard F. Libby and J. R. Ahmold, a research associate, revealed that atomic nuclei were the source of the casket was about 4,750 years old.
They said they merely measured the radioactivity of the carbon remaining in the casket on the priming plate. The radioactivity declines with age at a known rate.
Madison, Wis.—(U.P.)—Oscar. Otis figures it really pays to be patient
Otis outlasted two University of Wisconsin students during the night and at the noon deadline turned over his 99 cents.
Their results, they said, were close to those gained by archaeologists using older methods.
This Is Worth Waiting For
As he drove off in his 1931 sedan, Otis murmured. "Now I can stand a little more sleep."
Again Allen Brings K.U. Out Of Cellar-To Big 7 Title?
"Phog" Allen, the "Old Kinghawk of the Kaw," as he was once dubbed by Oklahoma sports publicist Harold Keith, has come up off the floor swinging again.
Counted out by most of the Midwest basketball experts, the veteran magician of the maples, now nearing the end of his thirty-third season as Kansas cage coach, has his club once more on the familiar battleground of a last ditch championship fight.
The Jayhawkers, sophomoric on all sides, move into Ames to tackle Iowa State Friday, a game and a half behind league-leading Nebraska at 6-3. Nebraska's record reads 8-2, second place Kansas State, 7-2.
Whether or not Kansas gets over the hump at Ames or forces the issue right down to the wire against Kansas State here, March 7 and Oklahoma at Norman, March 11, will not change the fact that the veteran K.U. maurauder, winner of 20 titles and one N.C.A.A. Western crown, is once again on the prowl.
This year's five already has won more league games than either of Coach Jones's last three clubs, the last two which shared the Big Seven cellar.
Three years ago when Coach Allen was sidelined throughout the last half of the season with a head injury, the wiseacres wrote finis on his career. He was 61 years old. He had won everything in sight except the national. He'd been in the maiestrom long enough. Why would a guy with a record like that want to ride the tension and headaches any longer, a lot of the boys asked.
The Jayhawkers sunk to third that year after an undefeated conference sweep in 1946. When they dropped into the cellar in 1948 the windup bandwagon gathered more steam. Last year when the Mt. Oreadans won only three of the 12 loop starts, the wise boys were certain the wily mentor had "lost his curves."
With three second-year men in the starting lineup from the opening game, the Jayhawkers started slowly. They took a 55 to 59 blow from Creighton in their second game.
They lost three out of four in the east before Christmas to Duquesne, Holy Cross and Cincinnati. They could win only once in the conference's pre-season tournament in Kansas City.
But when the league race opened the young Jayhawkers, fired by confidence and tempered by the barbed-wire assignment in the east, were almost ready. The 6-3 record tells only part of the story. As a matter of fact only eight points, the total margin of Kansas defeats, separate Allen's youths from an undefeated spot atop the circuit standings. Not even the leaders can boast this thin edge in their two defeats.
Coach Allen started with three trusted sophomores, Clyde Lovellette, the record-breaking scoring colloissus; Bob Kenney, the husky driver from Winfield, and Bill Hougland, the tireless rebounder from Beloit. Bill Lienhard, 6 foot 5 inch set-shot artist from Newton, soon joined these ranks. Then Dean Wells, slender Great Bend grid halfback, moved up. Now Aubrey Linville, the skiff pass-grabber from Salina, has attained near varsity stature.
Allen smilingly explains the ebb and flow of railbird favor: "Coaching is the only profession I know in which a man loses all the knowledge he ever possessed after he has a losing year or two. Why? Because in athletics you appeal to the emotions not to the intellect. People do not stop to figure out whys and wherefores because they are too excited. They second-guess or brand you a genius depending upon your wins and losses."
Spring Grid Work Starts March 20 Amberg, McCormack Elected Captains
John Amberg, business junior, and Mike McCormack, education junior, were elected co-captains of the varsity football team at a meeting of all lettermen March 1. This was the first time that the captains of the varsity team have been elected before the start of the season in the fall.
Coach J. V. Sikes announced at the meeting that spring football practice would start Monday, March 20. Sikes said there would be three weeks of practice, a week of rest, and a final three weeks of practice.
At the close of the spring practice there will be a game, Friday, May 5. between the squad members.
The practice session this spring will be carried on different than in
previous years. At the start, the squad will be divided into a "red" and "blue" team. One day the "red" team will be on offense with the "blue" team on defense, and the next day the teams will be switched.
