Kansas basketball fans are not to be condemned for the bronx cheers and "boos" which filled the auditorium at Wednesday night's game with rake. The raspberries, in the opinion of this writer, were entirely justified. The officiating was preposterous.
This would not have been written and Kansas lost the game. For, in that case, any gripe about the quality of officiating could be misconducted as an ablift for a Jayhawkwrestler. In this particular contest, the regular antics of the referees and impire were of no particular import; a great was the margin of victory. Messrs Oberhelman and Beckerman appeared to be wanderling around in a sort of haze, unwear at a basketball game was in process. Their decisions were incorrect; they went from one extreme the other, sometimes making split decision, and in other instances they could turn wild.
letting the game run.
The one thing that can be said in favor of the officials, is that they are plainly not partial to either use. Both teams shared the brunt of the bewildering decisions. Messrs oberhelman and Beckerman could sofitably have been replaced by the K. U. students who officiated the preliminary game.
Another Big Seven mentor out on the limb about the outcome of the 148 basketball season: Kansas State's Jack Gardner predicts that Oklahoma and Missouri will carry may loop honors, and that Kansas will not be far behind. The Wildcat each said that "if any club has the right to be in the thick of the conference race, it's Kansas."
Adolph Rupp, Kentucky basketball coach, said yesterday that before people are going to get so tired "whistle-happy officials" that they will quit attending cage tails. He Kentucky team recently received 41 penalties in a game with hito.
"The people are not going to put with it," declared Rupp. "They come out to see a basketball game, not to hear a music recital."
The Kansas-T. C. U. football game, played for the past three Septemberers in Kansas City's Ruppert stadium, may soon be alternated between Lawrence and Fort Worth, as most regular season contests are. As soon as the contract for the series expires, the series will have to go on a home-and-road basis, anyway, so T. C. U. Coach Dutch Meyer is reported favoring an immediate change.
Tom Hamilton, Navy athletic director and former coach of the academy team, said yesterday he favored a new, revitalized athletic policy to put the Annapolis school back on a par with "the nation's best" in football.
Hamilton feels that Navy has not been able to compete on even terms with top-notch opponents, because of "the many deficiencies of our athletic policies." He intimated strongly that the decision to hire a civilian coach to head the midshinmen probably resulted from the school's outmoded athletic program.

Winning Jayhawkers To Invade Tiger Den
Tiding the crest of an impressive four-game victory wave, Phog Allen's surprising Jayhawkers will invade the den of the Missouri Tigers Saturday night in their first Big Seven road appearance this season.
eason. The Kansas cagers hit their stride in Hoch auditorium after the Christmas holidays, chalking up victories over Oklahoma, Colorado, and Drake in one week. These winning efforts brought their season record above the .500 mark, and it now stands at seven won and five lost. Schnellbacher Leads
The man largely responsible for this recent winning streak is Otto Schnellbacher, Allen's veteran forward, who has three all-conference laurels already. Since returning from the Orange Bowl, Schnellby has added rebounding strength, a scoring punch, and insisted the shaping up of the Jayhawker missing game.
The 8-foot, 8-inch senior has tallied 36 points in his last two performances, an average of 17 per game. His tuneup appearance against Oklahoma he patted only two, giving him a season average of 13.3 per game, currently high for Jayhawkier scorers.
Tigers Have Talent
In the Tigers, Kansas will face the pre-season favorite of many. Coach Sparky Stalcup has six competent lettermen back which add up to sufficient height and scoring talent. The steady man in the Tiger camp is their 6 foot, 2 inch senior, Thornton Jenkins, but the Missou punch is left up to deadly Dan Pippin, the slim set shot artist. Pippin's scoring mania has kept him among the Big Seven leaders in his two conference appearances against Nebraska and Iowa State. Pippin was an All-Big Seven choice last season and threatens to repeat this year.
Tigers Second Last Year
The Tigers finished second in the conference in 1947 with six wins and four losses. They broke even with the Jayhawkers in two games, taking back a 39 to 34 victory from Lawrence but dropping their finals at Columbian. 38 to 48.
The Kansas-Missouri court rivalry dates back to 1907. The two schools have met every year since, a total of 191 times. Kansas has won 77 and lost 42. Probable starting lines:
KANSAS
England (6-2) F
Schnellb'r (6-3) F
Waugh (6-0) C
Sapp (5-1) G
Beuchin (6-4) G
MISSOURI
Pippin (6-1)
Jenkins (6-2)
Fower (6-0)
Flerenbait (5-10)
Smith (6-2)
Prisoners Escape When Dog Bites Cop
New York — (UP) — Patrolman James McNiff started to break up a street fight.
Then a little Boston bull terrier leaned and closed his jaws over the seat of McNiff's pants. McNiff gave a yell, released his two prisoners and grabbed at the dog.
McNiff, who is 6 feet 2 and weighs 250 pounds, grabbed the two combatants by the scrruffs of the neck and cracked their heads together.
Indianapolis — (UP) — As they treated the head injury of a 13-year-old girl and muttered aloud what should be done to such a heartless hit-run driver, police were startled when the victim spoke up and said, "I wasn't hit by a car. I fell over the curb."
When the men fled, the dog let go and disappeared. McNiff was treated by an ambulance doctor.
Hit-Run Victim—Not Quite
DAN PIPPIN, curly-haired Missouri forward, spearheads his terror attack this season with his deadly right hand shooting. Pippin, who averaged 10.3 last season, was named to a 1947 all-conference guard post.
Emproria, Kan., Jan. 16—(UP)—A blazing first balf exhibition of basket shooting enabled Emprilia State college to coast to a 52 to 44 Central conference victory over Southwestern here last night.
Hornets Win Over Builders
The Hornets, hitting 47 per cent of their shots, moved into a 30 to 18 ballettime lead, and with a 44 to 25 lead midway in the last period. Coach Gus Fish pulled the regulars. Dennis Shoggy, Emmao forward and Marvin Webster, Southwest on forward, shared the evening's high scoring honors with 15 points each.
Atlanta, Kca, Jan. 18 - (UP) —
The St. Benedict's Havens won
won their ninth great kettle all game,
drumming their arch rivals, the Rock-
burn Hawkins of Kansas City, 69-44
here last night.
Ravens Dofeat KC Rockhurst
The victory gave the Havens a 25 to 22 game edge in the Catholic school rivalry that dates back to 1922. Passed by Tom Samn, forward, who accounted for 18 points, St. Benedict jumped into an early 7 to 4 margin and were never headed. George Richier, Hawk pivot man, was high man for the game with 17 points.
The voters held a 19 to 23 half-
time margin.
