Kansas Seeks Third Win Against Drake Saturday
Kansas will be seeking its third win in four non-conference start when it faces Drake in Des Moines Saturday night.
Although Drake has won only one game in 19 starts against Kansas, that in 1939, John Pritchard, six-foot-nine-inch Bulldog center, is expected to cause the Jayhawkers trouble. Pritchard has been Drake's leading scorer for the last time.
scorer for the last two years, ranking third among Missouri Valley scorers last season with 97 points in nine games.
The lengthy pivot man has started well this year nailing 31 points in two starts against Iowa State as the two squads divided a pair of early season games. He tallied eight points against the Jayhawkers last season though only playing 10 minutes because of sore legs. Kansas won, 72-42, in Hoch auditorium.
Drake has victories over Central Iowa, South Dakota, and Iowa State with two losses, one to Iowa State and one to Indiana in their latest game. Kansas has beaten Rockhurst and Trinity but lost Monday to Purdue, 46 to 47.
Coach F. C. "Phog" Allen termed the Jayhawks "definitely better than last year but still spotty" after the Boilermaker contest.
"Our club showed evidence of continued fight and hustle, but it also fell into its old ruit of losing a lead in the second half." Allen said. Kansas lead by 11 points at intermission.
Even with a better club, Kansas has not yet found out what it can do about a good post man. Gene Peterson, six-foot-seven-inch forward, is expected to start against Pritchard. If Peterson can hold him it will be a good indication of Kansas' future success against such long men as Bob Rolander of Colorado and Bob Harris of Oklahoma A. & M. Peterson is a handy scorer himself having counted for 15 points in three games.
Other K. U. starters will be Harold England, forward; Jerry Waugh, center, and Claude Houchin and Bill Sapp, guards. Though England is expected to start, he has a apremied ankle that may give him trouble. Charley Penny will take his place in that case.

OU Takes On Ohio State
Norman, Okla., Dec. 17—(UP)—Oklahoma will risk another bruise from its basketball schedule when the Big Nine Ohio State Buckeyes come to Norman Saturday night.
Coach Bruce Drake's Sooners have lost both starts, each to a powerful foe. Texas beat the Sooners 49 to 40 here last week and Illinois took them 73 to 68 Monday night at Champaign.
Ohio State has won its two starting games, decisively trimming Butler 60 to 48 and Marquette 72 to 47, both at Columbus.
The Buckeyes return four of their five starters and all their top reserves from last year's team which Oklahoma defeated at Columbus in an early game, 62 to 53.
Kentucky Hands Holy Cross Loss
New York, Dec. 17—(UP)—Kentucky's untamable Wildcats, who won the N.C.A.A. basketball championship and placed five men on the 1948 U.S. Olympic team, are still the fierce things on the court this season.
No one realized that today any better than Holy Cross' doughy Crusaders—basketball titans in their own right—who fell before Kentucky, 51 to 48, last night before 13.,909 fans at Boston garden. It was the first setback of the year for the New Englanders, who lost to Kentucky in the eastern regional finals of the N.C.A.A. tournament last season.
For the Wildcats, led by their four holdover Olympians—Alex Groza, Wallace (Wah Wah) Jones, Ralph Beard and Cliff Barker—it was the fifth straight triumph of the season. Groza scored 17 points. Jones 13, Beard 11 and Barker seven.
Eight Lettermen To Easton Team
The Kansas indoor track team has eight lettermen returning for the 1949 season. Robert Crowley, Harold Hinchee, Robert Karnes, Robert Laptad, John Stites, Winton Studt, Richard Wagstaff and Herman Wilson are the indoor track letter winners. Robert Crowley is on the doubtful list, however, because of a bad knee.
Other squad members include Clifford Abel, David Breidentalh and Thomas L. White cross country track letter winners this semester; Robert Broady, Robert Bunten, Conrad Follansbee and William H. Richardson indoor squad members last year: Carl Brown, John Forney, Arthur Hamilton, Clarence Hughes, Edwin Lee, Ernest Meis, John Powell, William Reinders, Emil Schutzel, James Seay, Douglas Wall and John Wassmer.
Hinchee, Studt, Follansbee, Seay and Wassmer are seniors.
Patrick Bowers, Jack Greenwood and Herb Semper will be eligible for the second semester, Bill Easton, track coach said.
Coach Easton is pleased about the return to action of John Jackson, who competed in 1944, and Walter Emery, intramural broad jump champion last year.
