UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE FIVB
By NELSON OBER
It was spitting light snow, but not very cold. Right at the 10 o'clock change of class. And the walk in front of Robinson gym was crowded with students. They were hurrying, hurrying to another class, another cup of coffee, or just hurrying home.
It was only a few minutes before 10 a.m. when the boys started filing out of Robinson, in groups of two's and three's. They stowed their bright blue bags in the rear luggage compartment of the bus that was waiting at the curb. Then they boarded the bus.
A few of the passing students spoke to the boys.
"Give 'em hell. Jerry."
And, 'Hi, Bill. Let's win this one.' But, that was all.
"Let's really go to town tonight, Gene."
There was no pep rally, no organized send off as the Jayhawker basketball team prepared to leave for the K-State game at Manhattan Tuesday.
There was no indication that the students were behind them, really pulling for them, except for the three or four who recognized one of the players and spoke as they passed by.
Maybe the "Good Doctor" was right. Maybe it would have been possible for the cheerleaders to have arranged for a small pep session around the bus just before the boys left.
It may not seem that a group of cheering students sending the team off would add anything to the strong will to win the players already have. Plain cold type cannot express the atmosphere around such a situation.
It was an important game you know. To have won it would have placed us in another tie for first place. And, quite possibly, simply a pep rally would not have altered the final outcome of the game one bit. But at this point it gets to be a matter of principle.
What do we have cheerleaders for if it is not to cheer, in victory and in defeat.
Hawkins Swims To New Record
The University of Kansas swimming team held a 41 to 34 victory over the University of Denver swimmers today.
Kansas won six first places in the nine-event program yesterday. A new varsity record was set by Phil Hawkins of Kansas in the 50-vard free style. His time was 24.5. The former record was 25 seconds flat, established by Bob Edman in 1949.
The triumph was the second in three starts for the Kansas team.

DG's, Kappa's Finish Regular Women's IM Cage Play With Wins
Off to a slow start in their first post-vacation games, Delta Gamma and Kappa Kappa Gamma still upheld their claims to division championships in Tuesday's games.
Delta Gamma rolled up a half-time score of 16 to 6 then went on to defeat the A.D. Pi's 35 to 18 in a ragged game. This gives the D.G.'s a perfect season record of 5 wins out of 5.
Nancee Bell lead Delta Gamma scoring with 18 points, boosting her season total to 120, an average of 24 points a game.
Arlene Hill topped the A.D. Pi's with 7 points.
Kappa Kappa Gamma's game with Gamma Phi Beta was similar. The Kappa's won 32 to 13 after a 14 to 4 half-time lead. Their record for the season stands at four victories and one tie.
Kathleen McKelvey and Adalaide Schutz divided Kappa's scoring with 14 and 18 points, respectively. Vinita Bradshaw and Nancy Gross, top scorer for Gamma Phi with 7, sparked the loser's playing.
Locksley squeezed past a two-point half-time lead to defeat Jayettes.-I.S.A.=20 to 15. Both teams finish with a record of two won, two lost, and one tied.
Dorothea Crawford paced Locksley's guards and Karin Stack dominated scoring with 17 points. LaVone Daily was high scorer for the Jayettes with 9 points.
Theta Phi Alpha upset Watkins to win 36 to 34 after leading 18 to 15 at the half. It was the Theta Phi's first victory of the season and Watkin's second loss. Watkins and the A.D. Pi's hold a tie for second-place division honors.
Jane Koelzer paced the Theta
Phi guards and Peggy Wayman
led scoring with 15 points. Allie Grove scored 20 points for Watkins and Joan Harris got 12.
I. W.W. stayed on top all the way from a half-time lead of 28 to 15 to win 35 to 27 from the A.O.P.'s and hand them their fifth defeat in as many games. I.W.W. has won four and lost one to hold second place in their division.
Catherine Holloway, top scorer with 19 points, and Joyce Herschell paced I.W.W. playing. Virginia Holloway scored 15 points for the A.O. Pi's and Beverly Pepper starred at both guard and forward.
Harmon Co-op boosted their 23 to 14 half-time lead over the Corbin B team, the Hawks, to a 42 to 30 victory in another ragged post-vacation game.
