Huskers, Sooners Near Showdown
By UNITED PRESS
The nervous strain mounted today in the basketball camps of Oklahoma and Nebraska, as the pace setters in the Big Seven groomed for their second meeting of the season tomorrow.
Nebraska (8-2) was just barely nudged to one side in the first meeting of the two squads earlier this year. Then Oklahoma handed the Huskers their first conference defeat, 47 to 45, and began its own climb toward the coveted conference eagle crown.
Oklahoma climbed to within one game of the hard pressed Huskers last night, downing lowly Kansas 55 to 45 at Lawrence. That one left the second running Sooners with a 7-3 conference record. It dropped Kansas a little nearer the cellar to count its three wins, 8 losses.
As that first meeting started Oklahoma's climb, so Nebraska hopes tomorrow night's tangle will end it. A Husker win would clinch the title. An Oklahoma victory would tie it up, with Kansas State (7-4) breathing fire and fighting for a share.
The K-Staters are virtually assured of a win tomorrow over leaguetrailing Iowa State (2-8), even on the Ames hardwood. The Wildcats started slow this year, but hit their stride about mid-season and have gone undefeated for four straight—including games against both Nebraska and Oklahoma.
Kansas Swimmers To Big 7 Meet
In the other conference game Saturday, it will be a toss-up for fourth place between Colorado (4-6) and Missouri (5-5) at Columbia.
Kansas swimmers, who placed only two men and ran fifth in a sixteem field last year, hope to move up the Big Seven ladder a notch when they meet four other teams today and tomorrow in the 17th annual conference meet at Lincoln.
Missouri and Kansas State are not competing. The Jayhawkers hope to finish ahead of Colorado and might beat Oklahoma out of third place.
Coach Walt Mikols' hard-working team, handicapped this season by their small Robinson gymnasium pool, hope to score most of their points in the distances, pick up a few more in the sprints and place diver Ernie Crates the top in his specialty.

Chandler Investigates Club Feud
Sarasota, Fla.. March 4—(U.P.)—Now that he has heard Bill Veeck's side of the case, Baseball Commissioner Albert B. Chandler planned today to talk with the Birmingham Barons of the Negro National league before settling the Veeck-George Weiss dispute over rookie signings.
General Manager Weiss of the New York Yankees insists that he had in oral agreement with Barons'
General Manager Weiss of the an oral agreement with Barons' shortstop Artie Wilson, who was signed to a contract by Veeck's Cleveland Indians.
In addition to discussing the case of Wilson, Veeck also made a formal protest of his own against the Yankees' signing of Negro outfielder Luis Marquez of the Homestead Grays. Veeck said the Indians had a 120-day option on Marquez.
Veeck got his chance Thursday to tell Chandler his side of the feud. It was reported that Chandler had a written brief from Weliss.
Veeck was scheduled to begin today a trip to the West coast where
he will see holdout pitcher Bob Lemon.
Meanwhile, a host of minor changes were made in the playing rules of baseball by a rules committee meeting here. And a three-man sub-committee will be named Friday, April 15 to rewrite and clarify all the rules.
Here are the outstanding changes:
1. When an intentional base on balls is being given, the catcher must stay in the catcher's box until the ball leaves the pitcher's hand instead of walking up the baseline.
2. A pitcher shall be charged with a balk if he stands in position to
