KU Will Try For Second Victory Over Washington
Kansas, unbeaten on its home court against non-conference foes, will go after a repeat victory over the Washington Bears of St. Louis tomorrow night at Hoch auditorium.
Coach "Phog" Allen's club has punished Drake, Creighton, Centenary, and Trinity, in home games against non-league opposition, hitting
... points a game to their opponents. 43.0. The Jayhawkers are now in the umph scored over Washington in their first meeting at St. Louis.
The Jayhawkers, who whipped Missouri 55 to 37 at Columbia in their last start, can also better their over-all non-conference record of eight wins in 11 games. K.U. has chalked up 57 points a game to opponent's 44.4 in those contests.
Guy Mabry, who scored seven points in his brief appearance against Nebraska to win a starting berth against M.U., came through with 13 against the Tigers and may start again at forward. Big Gene Petersen, who threw in 20 points against Missouri, Maurice Martin, who led KU.'s scoring against Washington with 12 in the Jan. 15 meeting at St. Louis, are other possible starters tomorrow night.
Jerry "The Sheriff" Waugh will start at center with Bill Sapp and Claude Houchin at guards. The consistent Houchin had another good night as he scored 13 points to help K.U. sweep the season's three-game series with the Tigers.
Coach Blair Gullion's club will be dangerous, although they have been moving at about a .500 pace all season. They have lost by close scores to some of the better teams in this area. Nebraska could edge the Bears only 48 to 45 at Lincoln, and the Bears also proved tough for Indiana, Louisville, and Vanderbilt.
Guard Dave Pearce, forward Dick Pearce, and center Bill Barker, may prove tough to cover for K.U. Dick Pearce's 11 points led the Bears in the first meeting with K.U., which saw the Jayhawks take a 27 to 17 halftime lead and hold off their foes down the stretch. The game was marked by some flare-ups in temper by an official and the K.U. bench.
Washington could penetrate Kansas defense for only a dozen field goals in that game, but they hit 17 if 22 free throws. KU still ranks high in defense; allowing their foes 45.8 points a game in 19 games. The Crimson and Blue has thrown in 53.8 a game in winning 11.
The Kansas-Washington games this season have renewed an old rivalry that stopped in 1928 when K.U. withdrew from the old Missouri Valley conference. Kansas' win this year increased their one-sided margin in the series to 41 victories to Washington's 10.
The state of Utah has long been a producer of silver and copper. It also produces gold, lead, petroleum, sulphur, zinc, coal and salt. Its chief agricultural product is sugar beets, and it also produces wheat, oats, potatoes, hay, corn, barley and rye.
Theta's Edge DG's In Overtime Game
Four teams fought it out in the second round of women's intramural basketball playoffs. Scores were close, and thrills were plentiful as I.W.W. defeated Kappa Kappa Gamma, 36 to 32, and the Kappa Alpha Thetas edged out a win over the Delta Gammas, 30 to 28, in two overtime periods.
In the I.W.W. Kappa tilt it was the Kappa's game, with a halftime score of 16 to 12, until I.W.W. took the lead in the third quarter and held it until the final whistle. High scorers for I.W.W. were Jerry Clark and Kathleen McClanahan with 14 and 13 points respectively, while Jody Stuckey and Ginny Harris led the Kappas with 15 and 12 points.
The DG-Theta game gave the spectators a thrill a minute, with the Theta's piling up a first half lead of 14 to 10, and the DGs coming out of the hole to take the lead in the third quarter. With seconds left to go it was the DG's game by one point, but the Theta's evened it up with a last chance charity toss, sending the game into overtime tied 28 to 28. The first overtime was a see-saw as neither team was able to break the tie, but the second overtime period saw the Theta's toss in the winning goal to take the game, 30-23. Larry Ross led the Theta's in scoring, and Nancy Bell was high for the DGs.
The Thetas will meet I.W.W.
Tuesday night in the final playoff.
Trackmen Meet Unbeaten Tigers
The Kansas indoor track squad will try to end Missouri's winning streak, Saturday at Columbia. The Tigers have conference victories over Oklahoma and Nebraska, while the Jayhawks have lost to Nebraska and Colorado.
Bob Karnes and Pat Bowers are the individual scoring leaders for Kansas. Elmer Kline and Dick Ault are Missouri's leaders.
Bill Easton, Kansas track coach,
said Karnes, who still has a cold,
will probably compete in the mile
run, but not in the two-mile. John
Stites and Emil Schutzel have pulled
leg muscles and may not compete
against Missouri. Both men are
sprinters and members of the mile
relay squad.

Phi Psi's Spill Beta's,25-23
Phi Kappa Psi, the team that was not expected to survive the first round in the fraternity "A" division basketball playoffs, scored its second straight upset Thursday night in nipping Beta Theta Pi 25 to 23 in the most hectic game of the tournament.
The largest crowd of the season jammed into Robinson gym to see the Phi Psi's, spearheaded by scrapy Orbon Tice, whip the defending champions. Phi Psi held a narrow margin throughout most of the contest before Joe Dummire's basket from the corner proved to be the winning score. With slightly more than two minutes to go Beta had knotted count at 23-all on Clain Gillin's basket.
Phi Psi maneuvered into an early lead which they kept except for a one-minute period in the final half. Phi Psi led 11 to 6 at the half.
Jack Winter sparked the Beta's, pushing in 10 tallies, Scott Kelly, Phi Psi, and Joe Mendenhall and Gillin. Beta, each scored five.
Jumping into an early lead, Y.M. C.A., 1948 independent "A" division semi-finalists, had no trouble in romping over the Galloping Dominoes. 68 to 15.
Jim Valentine ran away with high points for the winners. Y.M.C.A. led at the half, 49 to 19.
The Nubbins, led by Karl Ebel and Roland Eller, rolled on to a decisive 52 to 29 victory over the Minute Men in a game played in Robinson annex. Nubbins led 23 to 9 going into the second half.
Both teams played a fast game, but the Nubbins controlled the rebounds and bottled up the Minute Men's offensive.
The Oread hall quintet defeated the Unnatural Five by a score of 41 to 27. Oread Hall jumped off to an early lead and was never headed as they consistently controlled the rebounds. The game was fairly close in the first half with Oread Hall leading 6 to 2 at the end of the first quarter and 14 to 9 at the half.
Swimmers Meet Colorado Tomorrow
Still seeking their first victory of the season, Kansas' swimming team meets Colorado at 2 p.m. tomorrow in the Robinson gymnastium pool.
A foreigner is not allowed to enter the U.S. Military academy at West Point unless a special act of congress provides for his entrance.
The Jayhawkers made good showings in losing 54 to 39 to Nebraska and 47 to 37 to Oklahoma. Their other loss was to Iowa State's conference champions. Colorado has some good men in the sprints, but if K.U.'s distance men come through, the Jayhawks will have a good chance of turning in their first win.
