Fans See Twin Freeze As Aggies Drop KU
The Oklahoma Aggies put on a deep freeze in Stillwater to go along with the chilly receptions the Jayhawkers have been getting in other games this year, and handed the visiting Kansas club a 37 to 25 defeat.
Kansas was held to two field goals in the first half, as the Aggies leaped to a 19 to 7 lead at the intermission. The two teams shot it out more evenly in the second half, but Kansas ___
couldn't close the 12-point gap.
K. U. Starts Slow
Kansas controlled the opening tipoff and went into the slow deliberate game which Manhattan fans saw two weeks ago. Kansas kept the ball for the first three minutes, but, when the Aggies did get it, they went to town, ringing up a 12 to 0 lead.
Kansas got its first point with 10½ minutes gone, and racked up its first basket, a long shot by Claude Houchin, with 12 minutes gone. Gene Barr got Kansas' only other basket in the first half. ...
A. L. Bennett, star Aggie forward, chucked in the first of his four baskets, and with Bennett and Joe Bradley showing the way, the Ags piled on the score.
Harris Stops Schnellie
Bob Harris, lank Cowboy center,
was the game's leading scorer with
13 points, and he turned in a stellar
defensive game holding Otto Schnellbacher to one goal and a charity.
Jerry Waugh led the Jayhawkers in
scoring with seven points.
The Kansas record now stands at eight victories and 13 losses with three games remaining. The Aggies have 26 and 3.
NY Tourney Considers Two
New York, March 5—(UP)—The addition of one or two teams to the lineup for the National Invitational Basketball tournament was expected momentarily today and Long Island university and City College of New York seemed likely possibilities.
Both metropolitan schools added to their court stature last night with impressive victories at Madison Square garden and either, or both, could be named as the New York area's representative.
L. I.U. racked up its 17th victory against four defeats by coming from behind to beat Muhlenberg, 56 to 54; while C.C.N.Y. scored its 17th victory against three defeats by routing LaFayette, 57 to 31. Muhlenberg, with a previous record of 17-3, was virtually eliminated from contention.
In the West, Oklahoma A. and M., champion of the Missouri Valley Conference, will meet Kansas Stetta, Big Seven champion, in a playoff for N.C.A.A. berth. The Aggies, like N.Y.U. can have an Invitational offer, but prefer to gamble on getting in the N.C.A.A.
There was a possibility that N.Y.U. might play Columbia, Eastern League titan, for the N.C.A.A. spot. A loss to Columbia, however, might cost the Violets both bids—and seemingly they couldn't decide today whether to grab the Invitational "bird in the hand" or shoot for the N.C.A.A. "two in the bush."
New York, March 5—(UP)—More than 18,000 fans were expected to pay about $125,000 to watch grand old Gus Lesevich make his last defense of the world light heavyweight championship tonight in a return bout with Blackjack Billy Fox at Madison Square garden.
Muffin-faced Gus, who stopped young Fox in the 10th round of their first fight slightly more than a year ago, announced recently that "win or lose" tonight he never again would attempt to pare down to the 175-nound limit.
Lesnevich To Fight Last Title Defense
The champion from Cliffside, N. J., was favored at 8-5 to make a successful fourth defense of his title, despite his age of 33 and despite his weight-making difficulties, also despite Fox's remarkable record of 50 knockouts in 51 professional fights.
New York, March 5—(UP) The recommendation that the winner of the Kansas City Intercollegiate Basketball tournament be barred from the Olympic trials because that event is "not democratic" in its attitude toward Negroes was made today by Harry D. Henshel, a member of the Olympic basketball committee.
NAIB Called Undemocratic
Henshel made his suggestion after Siena college of Loudonville, N.Y. followed Manhattan College in refusing to compete in the tournament.
Siena had been chosen to replace Manhattan after the latter had withdrawn from the tourney because Negroes were ruled ineligible to compete.
Hensel, in a wire to Lou Wilke,
chairman of the Olympic basketball
committee, said that committee
should reconsider its decision to admit
the N.A.I.B. tournament winner
to the Olympic tryout tournament
at Madison Square Garden.
"When our committee decided to place the winner of the Kansas City tournament in the college bracket of the Olympic tryouts it was not known to me that the democratic process of determining its winner would be subject to a provision barring Negro players," Henshel's wire read.
He suggested that the committee re-poll members with a view to reconsidering composition of the college bracket in the Olympic tryouts. The Kansas city tournament should either be required to eliminate the objectionable clause referred to, he said.
"I understand that the Kansas City tournament chairman has advised Manhattan college that elimination of the cause referred to would be considered after the tournament was over. This is not adversity to Manhattan college, nor is it to me." Henshel's wire stated.
In Kansas City, officials of the N A. I. B. refused to comment on Henshel's wire.

Iowa Defends Swim Crown
Led by Roger Watts, free style artists, the Cyclones are favorites to win their third consecutive loop crown. Watts has scored 67 points for his team, nearly twice as many as the second high man on the Iowa State squad.
The Jayhawk crew will go into the meet with two victories to their credit against four losses. Winning twice from Kansas State, the Kansas men dropped meets to Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado, and Iowa State.
Men leaving Thursday to represent K. U, in the meet were Don Medearis, Stan Jervis, Carl Olander, Dave Ritchie, Ernest Friesen, Bill Roy, Paul Banks, Ernest Crates, Dick O'Neill, Pete Purdy, and Dick Harrington.
In 1946 the oil and gas industry used approximately one-third of the shipments of steel pipe and tubes.
