Purdue Trips Kansas 47-46 Last Half Scoring Drive
The University of Kansas basketball team lost to the Purdue university 47 to 46 Monday night at Lafayette, Ind. The Jayhawkers held an 11 point halftime lead but the Boilermakers overcame the deficit and the Kansans were unable to make a field goal in the last nine minutes of the game. Purdue didn't sink a field goal in the first 11 minutes of the game.
Claude Houchin led the scoring from his guard position. He got 18 points from seven field goals and four free throws. For Purdue a forward, Butchko, was the high scorer with 14 points from four field goals and six free throws.
The score at the half was 28 to 17 and there was less than three minutes to go in the game when Banks, guard, tossed in a field goal to tie the score at 45 to 45. Maurice Martin, forward, made a free throw for the Jayhawkers but forward Butchko flipped two in for the Bailermakers to end the scoring. Purdure stalled out the minute and a half remaining.
It was Kansas' first loss to a Big Nine team and its first loss in three starts this season and Purdue's third straight victory.

UCLA Seeks New Coach
Los Angeles, Dec. 14—(UP)—Three weeks ago U.C.L.A. students carried football coach Bert Labruchierie on their shoulders and cheered him; today U.C.L.A. was seeking a new coach.
Labrucherie and his entire staff resigned last night and the U.C.L.A. board of athletic control accepted the resignation "with appreciation for the services they gave."
The resignations climaxed the most hectic season in the young history of U.C.L.A. At the start of the football year the Bruins came through with one smashing victory and then ran out of gas, beating only two other weak teams on their 10-game schedule.
The word of Labrucherie's resignation had hardly become public before talk turned to Paul Brown of the Cleveland Browns as a possible successor. Brown earlier in the year had been mentioned for the job but at that time U.C.L.A. firmly denied it was considering a change.
Evans Ends Pro Season
Whoever replaces Labrucherie will also be in a position to pick his own assistants immediately. In addition to the head coach, the athletic control board received and accepted the resignations of assistant coaches W. P. (Dutch) Fehring, Shelby Calhoun and Ned Mathews.
Kansas'* All-American halfback Ray Evans has returned to Kansas City, Mo., after a season of professional football with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He said that pro football is a lot rougher than the college varsity.

Baseball Clubs Begin Rebuilding
Chicago, Dec. 14—(UP)—In a surprising non-cash transaction, the Cleveland Indians today acquired first baseman Mickey Vernon and pitcher Early Wynn from the Washington Senators for first baseman Eddie Robinson and pitchers Ed Klieman and Joe Haynes.
The prize acquisition in the deal appeared to be the hard-throwing Wynn, a strapping right-hander who had been sought by various American league teams for the past two seasons.
Vernon, the 1946 American league batting champion, dropped off considerably at the plate last season, although he still is considered a respectable hitter.'
Meanwhile, the New York Yankees began their rebuilding campaign today with the purchase of a pitcher who lost 21 games last season and a catcher with a .203 batting average.
For those two players, right handed hurler Fred Sanford, and catcher Roy Partee, they gave the St. Louis Brown's $100,000 in cash and three players — pitcher Charley (Red) Embree and Dick Starr and third string catcher Sherman Lollar.
In a straight player trade the Yankees sent first baseman Steve Souchock to the Chicago White Sox for outfielder Jimmy Delsing and another player to be named later.
In another transaction, the New York Giants sold pitcher Ken Trinkle to the Philadelphia Phillies. Trinkle won four games and lost five.
