Saturday at Manhattan promises to be a double V-day for Kansas as Karnes and company are slated to cross the two-mile wire ahead of other Big Seven competitors, while the Jayhawk football squad continues its undefeated conference waves.
Kansas is favored to retain the two-mile title, despite expected close competition, because Bob Karnes and Hal Hinchee are riding the crest of leadership for Kansas in four consecutive dual victories this fall.
Karnes set a new school mark of 9:28.8 on Nov. 6, at Missouri and be unbeaten in competition this year. His running mate Hinchee carded 9:35 at Columbia, which promises to be worth a spot in the point circle at Manhattan.
Coach Bill Easton is long on two-milers who have finished in less than 10 minutes time during this season's dual meets. But all this can't be taken as complete insurance. Missouri and Oklahoma can't be written off so easily. The Bengals chief threat will be sophomore Bill McGuire who finished second to Karnes in 9.34.2 at the Mizzou final, while the Sooners will put a well-balanced team of 10-minute men into the running.
Advance publicity from Iowa State would seem to indicate they have conceded a Kansas win, but it's Iowa Gene Shaver, one-time Big Nine indoor mile winner, who will give Karnes a peck of trouble before the wire is crossed. Shaver posted an impressive 9:40 at the dual in Missouri and that's not bad for one who's new at the two-mile game.
As for Colorado, a guy named George Fitzmorris will carry their hopes. His showing last year should cause some Karnes and company anxiety. Fitzmorris finished second in last year's running and who knows what he intends to do about the big one at K-State?
Well, since predictions are still in season, we still look for a Kansas repeat of last year's Big Seven two-mile crown grap and a Jayhawk win on the football field.

Justice Can Break Record And Still Come In Second
New York, Nov. 11—(UP)—Charlie (Choo Choo) Justice, North Carolina's triple threat backfield star, can break a 12-year-college punting record and still wind up second to Bill Boston of Montana State this season.
Although Boston currently tops the nation's booters with a brilliant average of 45.3 yards on 27 punts, it is unlikely that he'll kick 50 times this season—the number required for establishing a record. Montana State has only two games remaining on its schedule.
That oddity was revealed in the major college punting and pass receiving statistics released today by the National Collegiate Athletic bureau. Here's how it shapes up:
Justice, however, has averaged 43.6 yards on 44 kicks and if he can maintain that pace in the Tarheel's final three games, he will set a new record
The existing punting standard is 43.3 yards on 65 kicks set by Lee Palmer of North Carolina state last year.
Behind Boston and Justice in
punting came Hall Haynes of Santa Clara with an average of 43.3 yards on 33 kicks; Paul Stombaugh of Furman was fourth with a mark of 43.1 yards on 57 kicks.
In pass receiving, John (Red) O'Quinn of Wake Forest regained top honors from Jimmy Ford of Tulsa after the lead in that specialty had changed hands six weeks in a row.
O'Quinn, who led three weeks ago, caught six passes for 149 yards as Wake Forest beat Duke, 27 to 20, Saturday, to take over first place with 31 catches that have covered 521 yards and produced six touchdowns.
