Freshman Track Stars Defend Big Seven Title
Kansas, defending conference freshman track champion, opens its 1949 season this week with telegraphic meets scheduled against Oklahoma and Colorado. Times and distances may be recorded any day this week, but results must be mailed by midnight Saturday.
Bill Easton's freshman squad rolled up 11 wins in 12 appearances last
year. But the Jayhawkers although billed for only nine meets, face a tougher schedule this year. Six Big Ten conference teams—Purdue, Michigan, Indiana, Michigan State, Ohio State and Wisconsin—are included on the schedule. Kansas met only Ohio State and Indiana out of conference in 1948.
Easton says squad members have not worked out much yet, but he believes the team will be better balanced than in 1948. Missouri's freshmen handed the Kansans their only setback last year, 67 to 64, in an outdoor meet. Kansas defeated Missouri 53 to 50 indoors.
The Kansas coach wants all men interested in track to check out this week, particularly those who have signed the list in his office.
Kansas is scheduled to meet Nebraska, Missouri, and Wisconsin by Feb. 19 and Michigan, Michigan, Indiana, and Purdue by Feb. 26th.
Following is the list of freshmen who have reported:

First Defeat For Hamline
The game last night between Hamline and St. Thomas marked the second meeting of the two teams this season. Hamline won the first one, 52 to 49, and, for that matter, led at the half last night, 28 to 24.
New York, Feb. 8—U(JUP)-That victory march which the Pied Pipers of Hamline kept so long this basketball season was silenced today.
The last remaining undefeated team in the nation, they were toppled from their lofty perch last night by St. Thomas, 45 to 43. Before that, Hamline, St. Paul, Minn., had won 15 games in a row including two tournament championships.
But after the intermission, St. Thomas creeped up. And then, nursing a lead, those giant-killing Tommies put on a stall the last five minutes that won the game. They were aided considerably by frequent fouling on the part of the frenzied Pipers.
In the Big Nine conference, Illinois coddled a scant half-game lead after an 85 to 66 triumph over Northwestern last night. But the Illini, with visions of their first league championship since the Whiz Kids whizzed in '43, must meet Ohio State Saturday. Second-place Minnesota was idle last night.
A pair of upsets touched off title fireworks in the southwest conference. Texas, heretofore the cream team of the conference crop, lost to Arkansas, 60 to 54, and next-best Rice was tumbled by Southern Methodist, 47 to 46.

Ponzi And Crane Tied For Pocket Billiard Lead
Chicago, Feb. 8—(U.P.)—Andrew Ponzi, Philadelphia, and Irving Crane, Binghamton, N.Y., still were deadlocked in the lead of the National Pocket Billiard tournament today, and Dan McGoorty, Los Angeles, and Joe Chamaco, Mexico City, shared first place in three-cushion play.
Ponzi and Crane each won their sixth straight games last night. Crane smothered Bennie Allen, Kansas City, 125 to 19 in only-eight innings, scoring the day's high run of 53. Ponzi edged Joe Diehl, Rockford, Ill., 125 to 100 in 17 innings.

With These Names, You Can't Lose?
If originality insured success, it would mean fierce competition for many of the men's intramural basketball teams. Songs, whiskey, and comic strips provide liberal inspiration for the names.
Take whiskey for instance—there are the "Men of Distinction," "Schenley's Fifth," and the lawyers' team called "Jim Beam's Dream Team." If you care for "Little Abner" there is a team called the "Seven Schmoos," or if you prefer to gamble there's the "Galloping Dominoes." One loyal team has incorporated
Sentiment even influences rugged basketball players and one quintet is named "Linda's Boys," after its landlord's baby daughter. For those who don't prefer Webster's spelling there are the "Serutan Yobs" (Nature Boys in reverse), or the "Pegis Club" (Sig Ep in reverse).
One loyal team has incorporated the home town name, Kanapolis, into the "K-Naps." Another group is called the "Feather Merchants" (army lingo for civilians) and still another the "Quin-Dribbles."
Two Sigma Nu constables from the Wakarua township, in which the Sigma Nu house is located, have been honored by their brothers so that the name of the Sigma Nu team is the "West Wakarua Wildcats."
