PAGE FOUR UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1948 Jayhawkers Whip MU To Hold Big Seven Lead The Kansas Jayhawkers took over undisputed possession of first place in the Big Seven basketball race Saturday night by administering a sound trouncing to the favored Missouri Tigers, 58 to 46, at Columbia. The victory gave Kansas three victories in the conference, and pushed them out ahead of the Iowa State Cyclones, who suffered their first loss at $ \textcircled{23} $kclyones by a 68 to 29 count. The Jayhawkers are fortunate this year that they do not have to depend on one individual star in order to stay in the game, as is the case with many college clubs. Schnellbacher, Houchin, and England have been consistent scorers all along, and Bill Sapp surprised everybody by potting 18 points against Mizzou. By COOPER ROLLOW Daily Kansan Sports Editor The Jayhawkers served notice Saturday night that they are out after the Big Seven title. To those basketball followers who already hawingly relegated them to the bottom of the conference standings, the Allen men merely laughed back and went on to win another one. The victory over Missouri was Kansas' fifth in a row. In the past two weeks they have leveled off Nevada, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Drake. After a so-so first half Saturday night, the Jayhawkers put on a tremendous burst of speed to overwhelm the Tigers by 12 points. It's about time someone paid tribute to Walter Mikols, Jayhawker swimming coach. Mikols has built a disorganized group of Kansas swimmers into a dangerous outfit. Saturday night the Jayhawkers proved their mettle by winning an easy 48 to 32 victory over the Kansas State tankers. With the starting line-up stocked with potential high-point men, the Jayhawkers are in an enviable position, for opponents have no way of knowing which Kansan is going to go rim-wild on any particular evening 早 早 早 --plus COLOR BY TECHNICOLOR Directed by CHARLES WALTERS Produced by ARIAN FRUREED Bob "Earthquake" Davis, Georgia Tech's highly touted All-American tackle, has been named to receive the Atlanta Touchdown club's annual player award. Apparently the members of the club did see the Orange Bowl game. . . . - * * Another national basketball power toppled over the weekend. This time it was unbeaten Georgia, defeated, 42 to 41 by Auburn after a winning streak of ten straight. The latest rumor about Don Faurot, Missouri coach, is that he will take over coaching duties for Navy. Faurot, who does not have a long-term contract with the school of Columbia, said yesterday that he had not been "officially" approached by the Naval academy. 100 Pound Co-Ed Enrols In Fundamentals Of Football Ann Arbor, Mich—(UP)—Miss Beverly Bussey set a precedent at the University of Michigan when she enrolled in Wally Weber's class on fundamentals for prospective football coaches. Miss Busley, who weighs about 100 pounds, said she does not plan to play or coach football. She merely wants to become a sports writer and aspires to qualify for reporting. Football knowledge isn't her only aim in the sports field. The young co-ed took a course on fundamentals of baseball last spring and during the coming winter semester plans to take a course in basketball. University YMCA Wins 42 to 32 From KC 'Y' The University Y. M. C. A. basketball team defeated the Kansas City, Mo., Y. M. C. A. a squad 42 to 32 at Kansas City Friday night. Bob Payne of the Kansas squad led the scoring with 11 points, and Hardy Scheuerman of Kansas hit eight. It was the first of several out-of-town games for the local "Y" team An amazing scoring spurt, coupled with defensive perfection, in the first seven minutes of the second half, salted the game away for Kansas. Leading by a 24 to 23 margin at halftime, the Jayhawkers roared back to score 15 straight points before the Tigers could cut the cords with a free toss. Bill Sapp, rugged Kansas guard, spearheaded the Jayhawk attack with 18 points, collected on eight goals and two frees. Otto Schnellbacher hit 12 before fouling out early in the second period. Thornton Jenkins, Mizzou forward, took game scoring honors with 19 on six goals and seven frees, and usually reliable Dan Pippin hit for 12, although missing a large percentage of shots. Kansas held a slim 24 to 23 margin at halftime, and the first stanza was that close all the way, but the Jayhawkers left the home club panting with a firewagon start in the second period, and the final minutes were just playing out the string. A total of 53 fouls was called as the game picked up speed in the second period. Three Jayhawkers left the game on persons and one Tiger went out the same way. Three other players were charged with four at the game's end.

Officials: Shields and Ogden He pointed out that 10 per cent of all drinkers become alcoholics and he described an alcoholic "as anyone whose drinking leads to trouble or drinks because he feels the need of a drink." Discusses Alcoholics Speaking before the Wesley foundation Sunday, a representative of Alcoholics Anonymous described his organization as "a group of ex-drunks helping each other to stay sober 24 hours a day." "One of the first and most important steps for an alcoholic is that he recognizes the need for a spiritual force bigger than himself to aid him in regaining the control of his appetite for alcohol," he said. Membership in Alcoholics Anonymous had increased 100 per cent in 1947, from 25,000 to 50,000, the speaker reported. F. W. Eps, '04, and George M.

"Oh, he'll be here. He's just tightening up his legs." The coach didn't know about the boy's handicap until another player told him—three days after practice started.
