Karnes And Company Again Top Big Seven Two-Milers
BY EMORY WILLIAMS
A strong Kansas two-mile team paced the 17th annual Big Seven conference meet here Saturday to win the title for the third consecutive year.
Captain Bob Karnes, the stand-out in the past two conference meets, captured a dual crown when he crossed the finish line in first place with a time of 9:35.3. This made Karnes the third man in the history of the Big Seven two-mile competition to take first place three years straight .
George Fitzmorris of Colorado crowded second position with Bill Jacobs of Oklahoma following close behind. Cliff Abel and Herb Semper clinched the race for the Jayhawkers by placing 4th and 5th respectively, while Pat Bowers and Dave Breidenthal anchored the title with the 12th and 15th spot.
Under the present Pusher system in the 2-mile team race, the 5th man for each team is not actually scored but acts as a block or pusher to the closest competitor.
The Jayhawkers won the meet with a total of 22 points, a duplication of their '47 conference victory at Iowa State. Oklahoma took second with 43 points, while Kansas State and Iowa State tied for third with 59 points each. Fifth place fell to Colorado with 63 points, Missouri sixth with 89, and Oklahoma following in event spot with 93.
The Jayhawkers took an early lead in the race and maintained the upper hand to the final tape. Although the bad weather conditions hindered the speed of the race, the home-stretch fight for first position was keen. Fitzormer of Colorado and Jacobs of Oklahoma fought desperately to take the lead from Bob Karnes of Kansas who refused to submit.
Coach Bill Easton has now coached two runners to three consecutive championships. The first was Fred Feiler of Drake and now Bob Karnes for the Jayhawkers.

Badminton Singles
Rita Carl defecated Betty van der Smissen in the badminton singles to advance to the badminton finals. The winner of the game between Ruth Tennis and Elise Lemon will be the other finalist. Tennis
Betty van der Smissen defeated Ruth Henry 6 to 0, 6 to 1 Friday afternoon for the tennis singles championship. In the semi-finals she had defeated Betty Thomas, and Miss Henry had won over Rita Carl.
"Betty van's" playing outclassed that of her opponent from the start. Her tireless energy and strategically-placed returns completely dominated the game. The fact that it was a windy day proved of little disadvantage.
IM Play-Offs
No intramural football games are scheduled today, Don Powell, director of intramurals, has announced.

Captain Bob Karnes, who has finished first in the past three all-conference meets, paced the Jayhawk two-mile team Saturday to its third consecutive Big Seven championship.
Coach Radios Players, Cuts Out Messengers
Los Angeles, Nov. 14—(U.P.)—Tired of seeing "messenger boy" substitutes running in and out of every football game, a U.C.L.A. engineering professor today announced a plan for the coach to flash word to his players by radio.
Dr. W.D. Hershberger said he has applied for a patent on the device, which used a voice modulated microwave transmitter under the coach's bench, and an ammonium-gas-filled ear receiver worn in players' helmets.
English mailboxes are called pillar posts.
Oklahoma Cops Big Seven Flag
Oklahoma's Big Seven worries, if it ever had any, were at an end today. But there is an important piece of unfinished business to keep the Sooners eager for next Saturday's kickoff at Norman.
BV UNITED PRESS
That piece of business is Santa Clara, last team to beat Oklahoma before the Sooners started a winning string which reached victory no. 18 last week.
Santa Clara, rated as high as tenth in the nation last week by the Williamson rating formula, licked Oklahoma 20 to 17, in the 1948 opener at San Francisco. A handful of customers saw it, some 4,500 surprised Californians.
There should be more than a handful of fans present at Norman. Coach Bud Wilkinson's great Oklahoma team needs only wins over Santa Clara and Oklahoma A.A.M. to wind up a perfect season, the Big Seven flag already belonging to the Sooners.
The Sooners were business-like in their 27 to 7 win over Missouri, Lindell Pearson and Leon Heath led the assault.
