Kansas Plays Nebraska, hopes For First Big 7 Win
Kansas will be seeking its first Big Seven conference victory when it visits Lincoln, Nebr., Saturday to tangle with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Jayhawkers lost their league opener against Oklahoma Tuesday, 38 to 36.
Comparative scores of the Big Seven pre-season tourney give the K.U crew an advantage but Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen is not optimistic.
Nebraska was beaten by Kansas State, 34 to 48, and Missouri, 50 to 52. Kansas defeated both Kansas State and Missouri by 14 and 12 points respectively. In all games played Nebraska has a 4-6 record against Kansas' 5-4 record.
Dr. Allen said, "We still aren't running our offense right and we'll have to be at the top to have a chance at beating Nebraska on their home court." He also pointed out that Kansas would be playing without the two men who functioned best against the Huskers last year, Jack Eskridge and Otto Schnellbacher. Eskridge scored 30 points. The last half of last year's contest in Lincoln after scoring scoreless in the first period. The Cornhuskers won, however. 70 to 64.
Nebraska will be fielding almost the same team this year including Claude Retherford, who counted 23 points in Lincoln against the Jayhawkers last season. Kansas is showing a vastly improved defense, and it will be a question of whether this defense can stop the Nebraska squad which throws up a barrage of shots and was conference scoring champion last season.
Starters for Kansas are expected to be Gene Peterson and Harold England at forwards. Waugh at center. Claude Houchin at guard positions.
Most spectacular Jayhawk shackler has been Jerry "The Sheriff" Waugh, 155-pound center, who has held Ken Pryor. Oklahoma's deadly long shot artist, to three points in two games.
Other Big Seven games Saturday will be Oklahoma at Ames against Iowa State and defending champion Kansas State at Columbia against Missouri.
Frankie' May Buy Champion Eagles
Los Angeles, Jan. 7-(UP)-A syndicate headed by blues singer Frankie Laine will offer to buy the Philadelphia Eagles professional football team today and move it to San Francisco, Laine's business manager said.
The syndicate's offer is dependent on three conditions, Gotfried said. The $250.000 price reportedly asked by Thompson will not quite be met, and league permission must be gotten to move the franchise to San Francisco.
George Gottfried said that the offer will be sent to Charles D. Ewart, general manager of the league champions, who now holds a 60-day option to buy from owner Alexis Thompson.

West's Ball Coming Back
Some of them believed that the post-war decline of grid power in the west was caused by the fact that so many schools out this way discontinued the game during the war; others that the "losing cycle" that hits all areas finally had caught up with the West.
San Francisco. Jan. 7—(UP)—The pendulum is swinging upward in Pacific coast football and it will reach the peak again in the next two years, according to a poll of coaches at the N.C.A.A. convention taken today by the United Press.
But in all cases, they agreed that the comeback was under way—and would be reached either in 1949 or 1950.
"No question about it," said Harry Stublidreher, director of athletics at University of Wisconsin. "The Notre Dame-U.S.C. tie game this year proved it. And so did the Northwestern-California Rose bowl tilt and Oregon's showing—although hampered by tough luck—in the Cotton bowl against Southern Methodist."
Lou Little, chairman of the N.C. A.A. rules committee and long-time head coach of Columbia university, was one of those who believed that the slump in standard of play in the West was just part of a cycle.

The present Tulsa court coach, John Garrison, has resigned.
Iba, who now coaches the Muskgoe high school Roughers, will be in open competition with Henry in the Missouri Valley conference.
