The "non-impressive" Jayhawker basketball team will play a highly rated Purdue team here Saturday.
I say "non-impressive" in the same sense as used by the Kansas City Star and Times in reporting the K.U. game with Rockhurst.
The young Jayhawkers might not have been an all America impressive team Saturday, but they were also not "lackadaisical."
A lackadaisical club won't hardly run up 33 points in one half—only one point less than Rockhurst could manage the whole game.
The "apparently not title bound" Jayhawkers have not, to my knowledge, been billed as crown wearing material this year. Coach F. C. Allen has stated that this club will be the one to start K.U. basketball on the upward climb out of the conference cellar. Here's hoping and also betting they'll do just that. Coach Allen has also clearly stated that you can't very well expect a last place club to jump to a title in one season. It has also been made plain that the sophomores—and Allen's got three in the starting lineup—will make errors—they may costly ones. But, I believe, they'll also beat some good teams before the season is over.
Turning to Clyde Lovellette—what does the Star expect? He's racked up 43 points in two games—not bad for his FIRST TWO varsity games.
Lovelette may not at this stage be as smooth as Kansas State's Clarence Brannum—but he also hasn't played as long—Probably won't either. Brannum, grandpa of the Big Seven, will probably still be at K. State's pivot spot when Clyde's college days are long over.
IM Adds Bowling To Its Schedule
As far as Brannum handling Love-
Bowling has been added to the list of sports for the men's winter intramural program, Don Pierce, intramural director said today.
Thirty-six teams have thus far signed to participate in the single round robin tourney. The teams are divided into three leagues of 12 teams each. In a single round robin tourney every team plays every other team once.
Trophies will be given to each division winner and to the championship team.
At the end of the 11 rounds necessary for every team play all other teams in their division, the top two teams in each of the divisions will play a single elimination tournament to decide the championship.
The schedule is still open for additional teams to participate, Mr. Pierce said, if there are any more entries at least six more teams will have to enter to make the round robin and single elimination tournaments work out.
"I would like to have a fourth leaue." Mr. Pierce said, "because it would make it easier to schedule the tournaments. If there are six more teams which would enter we will be glad to have them."
The teams which are now entered are as follows:
Division I: Oread hall Accountants; Oread hall I: Oread hall II: A.R.O.T.C. I; A.R.O.T.C. II; 1100 club; Lucky Strikers; the Hawkers; Freshman Team; Gym Team; Four Spares; and Triangle.
Division II; Sigma Nu III; Delta Tau Delt I; T.K.E.I. Phi Gam IV; A.T.O. II; Phi Gam I; Kappa Sigma; Phi Kappa Tau; Phi Delta Theta; Beta A; Silent Men; and Phi Kappa Sigma III.
Division III: Sigma Nu II; Sigma Nu I; Phi Kappa Sigma I; Delta Tau Delta II; T.K.E. I; T.K.E. III; Phi Gam II; Sigma Pi Eps; Pi K.A. I; A.T.O. I; Phi Gam II; and Phi Kappa Sigma II.

Claude Houchin, six-foot five-inch senior guard from Muncie, is expected to handle much of this year's scoring from the outside with his high arching swishers. Houchin is regarded as one of the best long shot artists to play for Kansas. "Houch" finished second among K.U. scorers last year with 24 points in 24 games. In conference play, he finished seventh with a 114 point total. Besides his timely scoring he is regarded as an outstanding man on the boards.
Ray Evans Has Been Both All-American Cager, Gridster
The average K.U. student or fan has heard much about the prowess of "Riflin" Ray Evans, that is, most know that he was an all-American in football but there their knowledge ends. Few realize that he is the only man in the last 18 years and one of six in collegiate history to gain first team all-American honors in both football and basketball.
This fact, which so clearly shows Evans' place in the all-time picture, has been strangely overlooked and almost belongs in the "little known facts about well known people" department.
Three selections have established themselves as the top "all" teams in college sports. They are the Grantland Rice, Associated Press teams in football and the Helm's Foundation teams in basketball.
Evans made first team all-America on both the Rice and A.P. selections in 1947. He reached his
llette—he'll get his first of three chances in the Big Seven tournament Dec. 27. The Star predicts Lovellette won't have a chance.
The Star also states that "Kansas State's Wildcats are a better December basketball team than Kansas' Jayhawkers by ouite a bit."
It shouldn't take an overwhelming amount of brains to arrive at this conclusion. Kansas State has a veteran club—they finished third last year and worked as a unit most of this time—nuf said.
I, for one, am not ready to leap from the Kansas bandwagon because they committed the unforgivable sins of defeating Rockhurst by only 21 points and lost by four to a good Creighton team.
peak in basketball before leaving for the service, making first string all-America on the Helm's teams in both 1942 and 1943. The first time, the spring of 1942, was his sophomore year.
This double-sport first team all-America achievement is so rare that only five other men have ever done it, and none of them were from a school west of the Mississippi river.
Last man to do it was Wesley Fessler of Ohio State, present head football coach for the Buckeyes. He earned the honor in football for the 1929 and 1930 seasons and in basketball for 1931.
Two Michigan greats have made it. Bennett Oosterbaan, present head football coach of the Wolverines, attained first team honors no less than five times. He was named in football in 1926, 1927 and 1928, and in basketball for the 1927 and 1928 seasons. Harry Kipke of Michigan was selected in football for 1922 and basketball 1924.
Victor Hanson of Syracuse made it in football for 1926 and basketball, 1925, 1926, and 1927. Charles Carney of Illinois was on the list in football for 1920 and basketball for 1920 and 1922.

Chicago, Dec. 7—(U.P.) — Former heavyweight Joe Louis battles Pat Valentino of San Francisco in the Chicago stadium tonight, and a victory for the "Brown Bomber" might be the opening of his comeback campaign.
727 Mass.
Louis was expected to weigh about 222 pounds for the brawl compared to 185 for Valentino. They will wear 10-ounce gloves, two over the usual heavyweight mitts, for the exhibition bout, scheduled for 10 rounds.
Charles fought Valentino in San Francisco last September and although he was losing on points at the end of seven rounds, he knocked out the tousel-headed westerner in the eighth to hold his championship.
But Jolting Joe will be trying for a knockout before the eighth round, and has said that if he succeeds he might start working toward a genuine title fight with present titleholder Ezzard Charles.
Referring to the Charles-Valentino set-to. Louis said:
"I just want to better Charles' record against Valentino, e v e n though the gloves will weigh 10 ounces."
Nearly 10,000 are expected to see the match.
