THURSDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1949

What price glory?
After two years as reigning back in the Big Seven, Forrest Griffith has suddenly found himself dropped and dropped hard. Not one All-Big Seven team we've seen thus far has so much as put the jarring Jay-hawker on the second eleven. That after being selected to the all-conference team in the two seasons previous.
Did Griffith slow down that much?
We remain among the unconvinced.
Statistics show, and this will surprise many, that he had a better year at ground gaining than in 1948.
A year ago he carried 96 times for 368 yards. This season he tooted on 92 occasions for 394 yards.
Some will come up with the suggestion that there were more good Big Seven backs in 1949 than at any time since the war. Couple that to the facts that Griffith played with a team that was a "loser" in the conference, had less support in the line than in seasons past, and played with a "passing" ball club and you may uncover something that lends a little light to the matter.
Despite what Big Seven selectors have done, we are willing to wager that not everyone has forgotten the Lee's Summit Express. Come time for invitations to the Shrine bowls and we believe Mr. Forrest Griffith is going to be given a little more of the recognition he deserves.
With seating facilities what they are in the Big Seven basketball circle, some of the pressure will be removed this season by television. Until their new fieldhouse is completed, only 3,000 Kansas State students can watch their Wildcats in little Nichol's gym. Video sets in recreation centers on the campus and in the college auditorium are going to make it possible for a similar number of students to see the team in action.
In the painting of Washington Crossing the Delaware, a soldier is shown holding the American flag, though it had not been designed at that time.

Phi Delta Wins In'B'League
Phi Delta, Phi Chi, Delta Chi and Sigma Nu *turned in victories in Wednesday's intramural basketball games in the "B" league.
All games were a battle down to the final whistle.
Phi Delta Theta rolled in 21 points in the fourth quarter to down Lambda Chi Alpha 39 to 15. It was a fairly close game for the first three periods, but Phi Delt turned on the power to win going away.
Byron Wynn led the winners scoring with 11 points. John Luttrell took scoring honors for the Lambdas with two field goals and two free throws for six points.
Bill Rader dropped in a free throw with 50 seconds remaining to give Phi Chi an 18 to 17 victory over Sigma Phi Epsilon in a fraternity "B" game.
It was a game of spurs. Sig Ep broke a 6 to halftime tie to take a 12 to 6 lead, but went completely cold while Phi Chi scored 11 straight points. Trailing 12 to 17 with three minutes remaining, the Sig Ep battled to a tie, before losing on Rader's charity toss. Paul Enrie paced the medies with four long field goals. Bob Pecchin scored five points for the losers.
Delta Chi defeated T.K.E. 20 to 14 in a fraternity "B" in a well-played battle. Scoring honors for the winners went to Harold Donley and Ken Henderson with four points apiece.
Sigma Nu downed Latin America "B" team 25 to 17 with very little trouble. Walter Hulen paced the winning cagers with six points.
Polio Hits Chicago Suburbs Harder Than In The City
Chicago—(U.P.) Suburbs generally are considered to be healthier places to live, but polio struck harder in the outlying districts of Chicago than in the metropolitan area this year.
Cook county's health director, Edward A. Pizzczek, said the polio rate was 30 cases per 100,000 persons in the suburbs, but only slightly more than 10 per 100,000 in the city.
The difference may be in the fact that suburbanites travel more, Mr. Piszczek said.
