UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
PAGE SEVEN
By BOB NELSON
Kansas State (3-1) defeated a good Long Island university club 58 to 51 last night in Madison Square Garden.
Colorado, with last year's starting five intact, looked impressive in defeating Emporia State Teachers in their first two outings 55 to 45, and 62 to 42 to rate as the conference "darkhorse" club. This team has height and plenty of experience.
Iowa State (2-1) also turned in a fine performance last night against Bradley U., 2nd ranking team in the nation in several pre-season ratings, in suffering their first loss 56 to 48 in Peoria, Ill. Trailing 23 to 30 at halftime, the Cyclones came back to battle the powerful Braves on almost even terms the second half in giving away only one point.
These early season performances indicate plenty of thrills for conference cage fans and probable numerous upsets that will make the race a wide-open affair until the final gun on Mar. 11.
Just when are Big Seven officials going to be consistent and decide to treat all member schools alike in regards to the scheduling of athletic events on and off the campuses of the various schools?
While in Omaha, Nebr., for the Kansas-Creighton game, much dissatisfaction was heard concerning the conference ruling which kept the Jayhawkers from playing their previously scheduled Creighton game at Boystown, Nebr. Officials had long planned for Coach "Phog" Allen's Jayhawkers to dedicate their new field house.
What we'd like to know is how Oklahoma U. is allowed to play their annual football game in Dallas' Cotton bowl against Texas. This is a grid show that probably produces more revenue for these schools than some Big Seven schools make all year.
It seems too bad that Dr. Allen and his squad were denied the honor of helping to dedicate a building at one of the country's most worthwhile organizations.
Could it be that the denial was more of a slap at Phog Allen.
In recapping the Kansas loss to Creighton, Coach Allen had this to say concerning Don "Pinky" Knowles' sensational shooting that netted him 26 points. "This great ball player did everything with the ball except let the air out of it."
Hunters Pay $700 In Fines
Chadron, Neb.,—(U.P.) Three Nebraska big game hunters have paid a total of $700 in fines and liquidated damages for breaking game commission rules.
Frank Petriccek of Howell paid a $100 fine and $400 damages for shooting a doe after sunset, and Ivan Stratton of West Point was fined $100 for trying to kill a doe after sunset. Albert Seeman, also of West Point, paid $100 for hunting without a permit.
The guns of all three were confiscated.

The first Big Ten basketball team ever to play in Lawrence will be the favored Purdue Boilermakers as they open the Jayhawkers' home season at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Hoch auditorium.
Purdue, tie for third with Indiana and Ohio State last year with a season's record of 13 won and nine lost, will be after their second win. They downed DePauw in this year's opener 70 to 49 the past Saturday.
On the other hand, the Jayhawkers will be out to better two marks and even up a third. Dr. Allen's charges will be trying to better their .500 mark after downing Rockhurst 55 to 34 and losing to Creighton 55 to 59
Seven returning Kansas lettermen will be seeking revenge for last year's 47 to 46 loss to the Boilermakers at Lafayette, Ind. Kansas led 28 to 17 at halftime, but faltered late in the game which witnessed some great shooting by Claude Houchin as he paced both clubs with 17 points.
Kansas has split four previous games with Big Ten teams downing Minnesota in 1922 32 to 11, won over Iowa in 1942 by a 55 to 33 margin and lost to Indiana 60 to 42 in the 1940 N.C.A.A. finals, besides last year's one-point loss to the Boilermakers.
Coach Allen will start the same
lineup that started the first contest at Rockhurst. At the forward spots will be Bill Hougland and Bob Kenney, at center the K.U. scoring wizard, six-foot nine-inch Clyde Lovellette, with Claude Houchin and Jerry Waugh at the back line positions.
The Boilermakers will be paced by Howard Williams, all-conference guard, and leading scorer on last year's club with 286 points. At center will be Andy Butchko, a terminal on the grid squad and a six-foot four-inch pivot and second high scorer in 1949 with 261 points. Butchko and Lovellette should hook up in quite a scoring duel.
At one forward will be Darrel Brewster, who played with Lovellette on the Indiana all-state team when they meet the Kentucky all-staters.
The other two starting positions on Coach Mel Taube's club will go to lettermen forward Dick Axness and guard William Banks.
