PAGE FIVD
By BOB LEONARD

Kansas Wesleyan of the Kansas conference remained undefeated in conference play as they swamped Bethel college 65 to 45 Feb. 10. Wesleyan has suffered only one loss this season! They were defeated by Ft. Hays of the C.I.C. conference the past week at Hays. Baker university stopped a three-game losing streak by defeating Bethany 64 to 53.
The Cleveland Indians have announced the unconditional release of Satchel Paige who came to the major leagues in the fading years of his career. Paige won six games for the Indians in 1948 during the hot pennant race. The Chicago Cubs have purchased Frank Hiller, right-handed pitcher from the Kansas City Blues. Here we go again. Just when the pitcher - lacking Blues need strength, off go the possibilities. Hiller's best year was 1947 when he won 15 and lost five for the Kansas City club. That year he was picked for the all-star team and led the league in shutouts.
Salina High school's all-victorious record went up in smoke Feb. 10 when they met defeat at the hands of Emporia on the Spartan's court. The score was 55 to 50. Salina had won 15 straight games.

Oklahoma's strong swimming team fortified by eight lettermen from the past season, proved too much for the Jayhawker squad as they won in a dual meet here Friday by a score of 58 to 26.

Nebraska Trackmen Drop KU 61 To 43 At Lincoln
Kansas' young indoor track squad was downed 61 to 43 by Nebraska, defending conference champion, at Lincoln Feb. 11, buff not without showing great improvement over 1949 when the Huskers won $79\%$ to $24\%$.
Nebraska scored in every event, making a grand slam in the 60-yard dash and winning 7 of the 12 events.
As expected, K.U. did best in distances. Not content just to win were Jayhawkers Pat Bowers and Cliff Abel who set new meet records in their respective 880-yard and 2-mile runs.
Coach Bill Easton said Sunday, "Our boys did a swell job and show potentialities that will make them a real contender in the Big Seven meet in March. Nebraska had two meets experience on us, but we still made a better showing than we have up there in a number of years."
