Coast To Coast Cage Battles Feature Upsets
New York, Jan. 5—(UP) — Oklahoma and Kansas, the "battling cousins" of the Big Seven conference, have carried their feud into another basketball season.
The Sooners from Oklahoma gather a measure of revenge last night by edging the Jayhawks, 38 to 36, in the conference curtain-raiser.
At New York, a fighting George Washington team, involved in an investigation of an attempted bribe offer to "throw" its game with Manatee in the form and the bookies by turning a 71 to 63 upset over the Jaspers.
The Pacific Coast conference's Northern division season also got underway at Moscow, Idaho, where Oregon trinned Idaho, 50 to 48.
Dave Shapiro, George Washington co-captain who figured in the arrest of four men charged with bribery, failed to score a point during the game but kept his mates by all means. He was assisted by Maynard (Bustero) Haithcock, who hooped 18 points from his guard post.
In the feature game at Madison Square Garden, City College of New York successfully cleared its first hurdle in its bid for the Metropolitan title by dumping St. John's of Brooklyn, 58 to 56, in overtime.
Elsewhere along the eastern seaboard, Niagara whipped Gannon, 63 to 42; William and Marry trampled Towson Teachers, 94 to 31; Syracuse defeated Cornell, 49 to 44; La Salle trounced Muhlenberg, 73 to 46; Phillip Oilers, last year's National AAU champions, edged Louisville, 54 to 50; and North Carolina State flattened Caniusus, 76 to 60.
In an important Southwest conference game, Texas Christian came back in the second half to pin a 58 to 52 upset on Southern Methodist. The Frogs, last year's conference cellar team, were paced by center Julius Dalnicks' 21 points.
In another important far West game, Brigham Young showed plenty of power in tumbling Nevada, 61 to 57.
SMU Team To See Mexico
Southern Methodist university football players, who have played in two successive bowl games (Cotton) without leaving their home base, had hopes today they would get a trip to Mexico City late this month as a reward for their performances.
By United Press
Dr. Edwin D. Mouzon, Jr., SMU faculty representative, yesterday mailed a proposed award trip plan to the other six Southwest conference members asking for a vote of approval on the trip. A majority vote of the seven schools would be necessary for approval.
The proposal called for expenditure of not more than $200 per player on the trip, which would leave Dallas by Braniff airlines Jan. 29 and return Jan. 31. The question of whether wives and sweethearts of the players would also make the trip remained to be settled.
The principal stumbling block to approval was believed to be whether the other schools would approve setting of a precedent they might not wish to follow up if their team ever got into the Cotton bowl.
A Poor Excuse, But Novel
Louisville—(UP) — Employees of the Pennsylvania railroad stopped the man before he got very far in the big locomotive he had swived.
William T. Reed explained why he had tried to swipe the engine. "I needed it," he said, "to carry a message from General MacArthur to President Roosevelt."
General MacArthur is in Tokyo.
President Roosevelt is dead. And Mr. Reed is in jail, charged with tampering with a locomotive.

The second half was much closer, but the Delta Upsilon five were unable to overcome the Phi Delt's lead. Pete Wynn was high point man for the Phi Delts with 13, and Wade Stinson lead the losers with 9 points.
Kappa Sigma won over Kappa Psi 35 to 12. The two teams were evenly matched during the first period with the score standing at 6 each, but the Kappa Sigs found their range with 10 points in the second quarter to lead 16 to 10 at halftime.

British Develop Paint That Cleans Itself
London—(UP)—Engineers on Britain's railway lines can't miss the signals now. A new white paint has been developed for signal posts that stays white in spite of dirt and weather.
The self-cleaning paint, made with a new pigment and other materials which are being kept secret, "sheds" layers throughout a process of "chalking."
While the disintegrating surface of the new paint is washed away by rain, a new layer is exposed underneath. The process is repeated until the paint has disappeared entirely but no matter how thin it wears, no discoloration takes place.

Swedish Swifties Want To Chase Fires, Thumbs Down On Schnapps And Girls
New York, Jan. 5—(UP)—Sweden's two Olympic swifties, Erik Ahlden and Ingvar Bengtsson, vetosed "schnapps" and American women today as they prepared to go into training for the indoor track season.
Ingvar, who finished fifth to Mal Whitfield in the Olympic 800, insists on the ride.
Their spare time will be consumed they said, in sightseeing and trying to get a ride on a big city fire truck.
There was a hint in his voice that the three previous Swedish invaders, Gunder Hagg, Lennart Strand and Rune Gustafson, might have partied a bit too much to be bothered with running at top form.
"He's a fireman," Ahlden explained.
Ahlden, a tall, slim lad with a lantern jaw, admitted that he "doesn't speak the American so well." But he acted as spokesman for his running mate, the chunky, little Ingvar, in $ ^{ \textcircled{1} }$ setting their future course.
"Oh no." Ahlden said with emphasis. "No snappens for us."
As for the ladies, Ahliden confided that "there couldn't be anybody like my Swedish girl, no offense, understand, and Ingar is a married man with two children."
That prompted a query whether he firemen ran to fires in Sweden, has getting in their training, what with Hagg, Gustafson, Strand—and
now Bengtsson—all having been fire laddies.
Bengisson grinned and rattled off two feet of Swedish after which the smiling Ahliden translated:
"Ingar says that we don't run to fires in Sweden but they have plenty of time to sleep—and thus to train. He says that the sleeping part makes all firemen alike, all over the world, he guesses."
Bengtsson added something and
Ahlden explained:
"But Ingvar says that riding in a taxicab here in New York is worse than going to a fire in Sweden."
He Could Always Push It
St. Louis-(UP)—When Harry Lake tried to get his car out of the garage the motor wouldn't turn over. He lifted the hood and found the reason. Thieves had stolen the radiator, fan, generator, fuel pump, water pump and battery.
