Bob Karnes didn't compete in the two-mile run at Lincoln. He was bothered with a bad cold and didn't feel up to it. You can tell it cut down on his time in the one-mile. He has traveled around the mile route as fast as 4:29.9. At Lincoln his time was 4:35.1.
In the indoor track meet between Oklahoma and Missouri, Bill McGuire, a sophomore runner from Missouri, ran the same distance in 4:24.2.
The Kansas running star from Overbrook who has dominated the Big Seven distance events for several years may have considerable trouble this year.
These two runners will meet at a dual conference meet at Columbia on Saturday, Feb. 19. Karnes will have to be at his best to win then
The St. Louis Bombers of the Basketball Association of America have announced the purchase of Otto Schneblier, former Kansas star. The Bombers traded a forward, Buddy O'Grady, and some cash for the services of the 6-foot, 3-inch former Jayhawker.
Recently the Indianapolis Jets sold another Kansas basketball graduate—Charley Black. Black was sold to the Fort Wayne, Ind. team. As a result of the sale Black is now playing on the same team with Jack Eskridge.
Eskridge joined the professional circuit this year after being declared ineligible by the conference during the summer.
Russ plays in the infield and his best position is at second base.
Russ Schon, who was the 1948 K.U. baseball coach, has been signed as player-manager of the Hutchinson team, for the coming season. The Salt City team operates in the Western association.
When E. C. Quigley finally announces the new baseball coach you can expect it to be "Red" Hogan, former K.U. quarterback.
T. C.U. gridsters started their spring football practice Feb. 2. That ought to quiet any Kansas players who are concerned about the early spring practice here. Coach Sikes will start his spring sessions about Monday, March 21.

Oklahoma Aggies Certain Of NCAA Tournament Bid
New York, Feb. 9—(U.P.)—The first rough outlines of lineups for the big basketball tournaments were taking shape today although plenty of scrambling and scrapping for invitations was still ahead in the final month of the regular season.
There were 16 spots to be filled in the choice tourneys—eight in the
National Collegeate A. A. whirl and eight in the National Invitational tournament at Madison Square Garden.
Only three teams were almost certain of a bid to one or the other tournament, and that left 13 prize plums still hanging on the tree. And about 50 top teams battling each other tooth and pivot shot for each of them.

The rio nearly sure to be seen in March—barring only the most complete of collapses—were Kentucky, the defending N.C.A.A. champion with an 18-1 record; St. Louis, the '48 invitational titlist with a mark of 15-1; and the Oklahoma Aggies, conquerors of St. Louis, with 14-2.

Paige Knows His Worth
Cleveland, Feb. 9—(U.P.)—While Bobby Feller licked his wound, a $15,000 wound, Cleveland president Bill Vecek turned to other matters today with the prediction that Satchel Paige would be the hardest of the Indians to sign for the 1949 season.
Feller signed a contract Tuesday calling for a $15,000 salary cut, or roughly $67,000 for the year. A week before manager Lou Boudreau signed for $75,000. But, Veeck insisted, the 40-odd year old Paigs will be the toughest nut to crack.
"I have always considered Paige the No. 1 problem." Veeck said of his venerable Negro pitcher. Paige will be offered a straight contract with no attendance bonuses involved.
That's where the trouble will come in. Paige, after years of barnstorming around the country with Negro athletes, had a large portion of percentages. And, what's more, he drew more fans into the ball park than did Feller last season.
Feller took the first pay cut of his illustrious career when he signed his contract yesterday. But he remained the highest paid pitcher in baseball. His base salary is $40,000, the same as last year, but he has a less generous attendance bonus system than he enjoyed in the 1948 season.
