Waugh Is Tops On Tournament All Star Team
Jerry Waugh, Kansas' sophomore center, lacked one vote of being an unanimous choice for the All-Big Seven tournament basketball team chosen by newspaper and radio men at the end of the pre-season tournament in Kansas City.
The one vote that didn't place Waugh on the first five put him on the second team. Others who won places on the first five of the unofficial selections were Ley Petersen, Iowa State; Bill Ley, Colorado; Paul Courty, Oklahoma, and Dan Pippin Missouri.
The second team All-Stars included Bill Waters, Oklahoma; Claude Houchin, Kansas; Ken Pryor, Oklahoma; Wayne Glasgow, Oklahoma; and Bob Rolander, Colorado
Gene Petersen, Jayhawker forward, was the high scorer in the tournament with 51 points. Iowa State's Bob Petersen was second with 46 and Waugh was third with 41.
Oklahoma won the tournament in a thrilling game with Kansas. The score was tied at 27 to 27 at the end of the first half, but Oklahoma in the last half before Oklahoma's Sooners held control of the ball to win 52 to 49.
Iowa State won third place in the tourney with a last half rally defeating Kansas State 56 to 52. Bob Petersen, a Cyclone guard who was a first team All-Star selection, hit 72.7 per cent of his shots in the game to lead his team to the surprising victory.
Harvard, the guest team, fared badly in three games with the Big Seven members. The visitors from the East lost all three games they played in the tournament.

By Knowing His Cattle
Chanute Field, III.—(UP)—An A. W.O.L. army private was captured an hour after he left Chanute field air base because a Texas sergeant knew his cattle. The Texan found the soldier hiding in a clump of bushes. He said he looked in the ones because he saw some cattle stirring and "in Texas when cattle stir like that, something's wrong."

Experts Pick Oklahoma To Shade Kansas In Big 7
Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 3—(UP)—Oklahoma's Sooners appeared a shade the best today in the Big Seven basketball race, which gets underway this week.
While Oklahoma could show no better than a second-place tie with Iowa State college for its part of the 53 games already played by Big Seven ms, it was the new conference b
Coach Bruce Drake's men won the 1948-49 tournament in Kansas City last week, defeating Kansas, 52-49, for the crown. The three tourney victories for Oklahoma raised it to a 5-5 figure as the conference swung into its championship schedule.
Kansas (5-3) showed fine stuff in grabbing tourney runner-up honors, leading many pickers to rate Oklahoma and the Jayhawks to finish one-two over the long distance. Earlier forecasts had placed Missouri in the runner-up spot.
S six games are on this week's state, two of them tonight, but only four will have a bearing on the conference title. Non-conference games will match Missouri (4-5) against Northwestern at Columbia and Kansas State (4-7) and Rockhurst at Manhattan tonight.
Kansas will go against Oklahoma tomorrow night at Norman.
Next Saturday's card will offer Kansas vs. Nebraska (4-6) at Lincoln; Oklahoma vs. Iowa State vs. Wisconsin; State vs. Missouri, at Columbia.

Texas Aggies Add To Staff
College Station, Tex., Jan 3—(UP) —J. T. King, line coach at Tulane university the past three seasons, has been added to the Texas A.&M varsity coaching staff, it was announced today.
The former University of Texas guard will report for duty Tuesday, Athletic Director Bill Carmichael said.
King received his early gridiron experience at John Reagan high school in Houston. After graduating from Texas he coached at Kenedy, Texas, high school and later took a similar position at Enid, Okla., where he turned out several state championship squads.
When Henry Frnka moved from Tulsa to take over the Tulane Greenies three years ago, King went along as one of his assistants.
Award Miller Trophy To Jack Mitchell
New Orleans, Jan. 3 — Jack Mitchell, Sooner star quarterback, was awarded the Warren V. Miller Memorial trophy for the outstanding player in the 15th annual Sugar bowl football game Sunday. Mitchell was selected by a poll of sports writers in New Orleans for the contest.
Mitchell was selected by a poll of sports writers attending the Sugar bowl game on New Year's day in which Oklahoma defeated North Carolina.
The award was made early today after a Sugar Bowl party attended by members of both teams, Sugar Bowl officials and guests.
Mitchell said, "I had no idea this award would be given to me." He paid tribute to the other members of the team and was congratulated by Charlie Justice of North Carolina and the other players.
The award was inaugurated by the Sugar Bowlers in memory of the first Sugar Bowl president, the late Warren V. Miller.
Wildcats Get A Real 'Cat
Manhattan—(UP) — Kansas State college athletic teams again have a live wildcat mascot.
The 'cat, now being trained by Mark Field, Park Rapids, Minn., and Glenn Rea, Garden City, S.D., both seniors in veterinary medicine, was given to the college by the K.S.C. chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, national service organization of former boy scouts.
It was captured nearly five years ago in Colorado by a serviceman. Since then the 'cat has been mascot of the Hutchinson fire department. The price of meat and the 'cat's appetite were too much for the firemen. It eats two beef kidnews a day.
The first live wildcat mascot of K-State teams, Touchdown I, is stuffed and on display in the athletics office. The short-lived one year was called Touchdown II. Hardy said K.S.C. students will name this one—probably Touchdown III.
