Oklahoma, Nebraska Lead In Big Seven League Race
By UNITED PRESS
Oklahoma's domination of the Big Seven basketball race continued today but the Sooner machine was by no means a steamroller.
Oklahoma (4-0) squeezed out its fourth straight conference triumph last Saturday against Missouri, 44 to 40, after trailing 18 to 23 at the half. It was Oklahoma's widest margin of victory, the Sooners having won three earlier Big Seven games by one, two $ \textcircled{4} $
But the win, no matter how thin, clearly stamped the Sooners as the club somebody will have to beat for the flag.
Kansas State, matched this week against Oklahoma, got past Colorado, 48 to 43, by pouring in 23 points in the last 12 minutes. It was K-State's first league win and Colorado's second loss in two starts.
In another conference game, Nebraska's surprising Huskers buried Iowa State, 71 to 50, at Lincoln to remain unbeaten in two starts. It was the second loss for the Cyclones, against no conference victories.
Kansas, with a 1-2 record in the conference, stepped outside the league to beat Washington university, at St. Louis, 46 to 14, in a brawl which at the finish caught substitute Myrons Enns of Kansas throwing a punch at Referee Eddie Davidson. Enns thought Davidson was a shade slow with his whistle in calling a foul on Washington's Dave Pearce.
Of this week's five games involving Big Seven teams, four will bear on the league race. Only Kansas will mix with a non-conference foe, Drake. The Jayhawkers also will play Colorado.

Hogan Wins Crosby Meet
Pebble Beach, Calif., Jan. 17—(UP)—Any fears (or hopes) that little Ben Hogan was fading from his position as king of the golfers can be tossed to the winds today--because Bantam Ben still has the stuff of which champions are made.
Holder of the 1948 P.G.A. and National Open title and leading P.G.A. money winner last year, Hogan captured his first crown of 1949 here yesterday as he blanketed the field to win the $10,000 Bing Crosby national pro-amateur titles title.
It was his usual masterpiece--three steady rounds of 68-70-70 over three different courses. The 208 total was two strokes better than the second-place 210 posted by the perennial runner-up Jim Ferrier.
The pro-amateur crown went to the surprising pair of Bill Nary of Los Angeles and Lefty O'Doul, manager of the San Francisco Seals baseball team, who led from the opening day and finished with a combined best ball of 196—two strokes better than their nearest competitors.
Behind Hogan and Ferrier in the singles division came popular Jimmy Demaret with a 211 total, good for $1,000; Nary with a 213, good with a 213, good for $700; and at 214, Emory Zimmerman, Portland, and Joe Brown, Des Moines, Ia., each got $450.
Most of the amateur golfers from the field of movie, boxing, and baseball faired poorly. Leo Durocher manager of the New York Giants; Randolph Scott and Crosby of the movies; and Jimmy McLarnin, foreright fight champion all finished far down the line in the final standings.

Panama Bout Near A Brawl
Panama City, C.Z., Jan. 17—(UP)Having registered a technical knockout in a non-title bout that turned into a scrap, world's feather-weight champion Sandy Saddle of New York was scheduled to leave here today to return to the United States.
Saddler is slated to clash with Humberto Sierra of Havana, Cuba,
at Philadelphia on Monday, Jan. 24.
The champion came through with a five-round technical knockout here last night over young Finnegan, a capable Panama fighter, who opened a gash over Saddler's right eye and succeeded in taking a couple of rounds from the champ before going under.
Saddler dropped Finnegan for an eight-count with a left-hook in the second round, but the third round found Finnegan fighting on even terms and opening the cut in Saddler's eyebrow. Landing several left hooks, Finnegan won the fourth round by a wide margin.
Sadder charged out for the start of the fifth and felled Finnegan under a barrage of blows for a nine count. Finnegan reeled to his feet, but went down again almost immediately from a right cross to the head and the referee ended the bout.
