Track, Cage Action To Start
Basketball Brings Huskers, Bengals
Phog Allen's amazing Jayhawkers will be favored to take their fourth consecutive Big Seven victory Saturday when they line up against the Nebraska Cornhuskers in Hoch auditorium.
Tagged for a lower berth in the conference standings before the season began, the young cagers from Kansas have lost most of their ragged edges since their opening loss to Emporia State and now share the top spot in the league with powerful Kansas State. Nebraska has one win and three reverses in league play.

The Allen rookies defeated the Nebraskans in a 64 to 60 overtime battle in Kansas City before conference play began, and before Otto Sahnellbacher reinforced the squad. 66 For Schnellbacher
Since that game, the Jayhawkers have become polished Big Seven performers, having downed Oklahoma, Colorado, and Missouri. Schnellbacher appears to be on his way to his greatest season despite his late start. In five games he has poured 66 counters through the hoop, 28 of these from the charity line.
The Jayhawkers will be further strengthened by the return of Johnny Dewell, a Newton high school product. Dewell, a 6 foot, 4 inch sophomore, has been ineligible for a year after playing with an independent team in Topeka last winter. He may be used at all three positions Saturday and promises to do some stellar rebounding.
Eskridge May Start
Jaek Eskridge, lanky southpaw, is slated to start at forward against Harry Good's cagers. Big Jack has been placed by flu and trick knees so far this season, but still may become a leading scorer. He bucketed five points in the overtime period to help sink Nebraska in Kansas City.
The man to watch in a Cornhusker uniform will be Claude Retherford, speedy forward. Retherford is repeating his high-scoring job of last year, haviied tallied 162 in 16 games this season. Another mainstay from last year's Cornhusker quintet is Joe Brown, who tosses in a lot of points from a guard position.

KU Indoor Squad Opens At Mizzou
Jayhawker trackmen will open their 1948 indoor season when they meet Missouri's defending conference champions in Columbia tonight.
Fresh from a 65 to 49 victory over Notre Dame, the Tigers are heavily favored to outdistance Bill Easton's crew, which is short on experienced performers. Kansas strength will lie in its crack outfit of distance men and a topnotch highjumper and broadjumper.
Led by Bob Karnes, defending conference indoor and outdoor two-mile champion, the Jayhawkers distance men will provide the Easton team with its chief scoring power. Hal Moore, Hall Hinchee, Winton Studd, Dick Shea, and Bob Morris complete the list of mile, half mile and two mile competitors.
Moore and Hinchee ran second and third to Karnes in the two-mile event in 1947 and each will go to the post in two of the three distance races. Studt, Shea, and Morris will run the half mile and Morris will also start in the two mile.
Tom Scofield, Jayhawker high jump specialist, will meet a capable foe in Jim Howard who cleared 6-feet 3 to win first in the Notre Dame dual meet.
Broadjumper Bob Crowley, who lost to Missouri's Bob Teel by an inch in the 1947 league outdoor meet, wil again take up his rivalry with Teel in tonight's affair. Crowley is the 1947 Texas Relay champ in his event.
With lettermen Bill Binter, Jonny Stites and Dick Wagstaff, the Jayhawkers hope to crack the Missouri quartermile outfit which is still led by Dick Ault, outdoor title holder, although he was beaten by Bob Schuster in the Notre Dame meet.
The Kansans probably will not be able to match the Tigers' strength in the pole vault, shot put or the 60- yard dash.
Frank Stannard may pick up points in the hurdles. He ran second in the outdoor high hurdles last season and third indoors. Facing Stannard will be conference champion Bud Gartiser who won both high and low events at South Bend.
