K-State Victory Keeps Cats In Big Seven First-Place Tie
The Kansas State Wildcats scored 37 points in the second half to defeat Iowa State 61 to 42 at Manhattan Monday night and remain in a first-place tie with Kansas in the Big Seven basketball race.
Clarence Brannum, Kansas State center whose eligibility was confirmed by Big Seven officials Monday, hooked in 10 points and played one of his best games of the season.

Football fans in the entire midwest breathed a momentary sigh of relief when the news broke that Howie Odell, a coaching success at Yale university, had signed to fill the opening at the University of Washington.
The Seattle directors have been flirting with George Sauer ever since their head coach, Ralph Welch, voiced his intentions to step down from the top Huskie job. Even after Sauer signed a new three-year contract with the University the humors continued to circulate.
Realizing that coaches have been "stolen" before, contract or no contract, by the common expedient of waving the vad of bills, none of us felt too sure that Sauer would be back to toss the Jayhawkers next year.
But the hustlers have been foiled, and now we feel much more secure. Evidently Sauer has issued an emphatic refusal to move from Mt Oread, and this precedent is likely to discourage further advances toward our head coach.

Big Six schools have long been plagued with coach-rustlers. Back in 1934, in the days when Kansas Staters had something to cheer about, Lynn Waldorf coached the Wildcats to a conference football championship. The following season Waldorf was coaching a different pack of Wildcats . . at Northwestern university.
Dana Bible was another great coach in Big Six history. Bible built the almost invincible Nebraska Cornhusker machine that monopolized conference titles for many years. In the late 30's Bible was signed by the welshy University of Texas.
In 1946 the same sad situation recurred again. Jim Tatum developed one of the greatest teams ever to wear Oklahoma colors. Now he's at the University of Maryland.
At least three coaches in the Big Seven are at least as good as the best. Two of these, Sauer and Don Faurot, earned their spurs in the conference. The third, Abe Stuber, is starting off in the right direction at Iowa State after a long career of successes at Southeast Missouri State college.
Navy, among others, is reported to
The Cyclones, after absorbing a 60 o 39 shellacking at the hands of Oklahoma Saturday to drop to second place, dropped to third by their loss to the Wildcats.
Iowa State held the home club even until the half, and trailed at the intermission only 22 to 24. The

Aggies, always hot on their home court, poured in 45 per cent of their shots in the second half while the ice-cold Cyclones could hit only 16 per cent.
The game became rough as it picked up speed in the second half and ended with a total of 52 fouls called. The Wildcat coach, Jack Gardner, left in his first team until eight minutes remained, when it was replaced by substitutes.
Long Don Paulsen of Iowa State took scoring honors with 13 points, and teammate Ray Wehde took down 11. Brannam's 10 was high for Kansas State, but Krone, Dean, and shannon each collected nines, and Howey hit eight.
Olympic Ski Captain Lost To US Women
The 25-year-old University of Nevada graduate fell on a narrow trail while leading seven of her teammates on a downhill practice run Monday.
St. Moritz, Switzerland, Jan. 20—(UP) The U.S. Women's Olympic ski team was greatly weakened for the slalom events today after Dodie Post of Reno, Nev., the team's captain, suffered a broken ankle.
be bidding for Faurot. Other offers will probably be waved before Sauer. And if Stuber, or Bud Wilkinson, or any young coach in this conference proves his ability, then he, too, may be lured away to where his talents earn bigger paychecks.
Maybe the answer to better Big Seven football is not "more subsidizing." This practice is not ethical, but raising the salaries of our canable young coaches IS ethical.
It's All In The Family
Lynn, Mass.—(UP)—Long known as the "Shoe City," Lynn is represented in the state legislature by a delegate named Boot.
Sauer, Faurot, and others have proved they can turn out powerful elevens with home-state talent. It's time we recognize this ability and pay these men enough so they will work for us, instead of against us.
