Jayhawkers Tackle Drake In Tuneup For Tiger Clash
Boasting two victories in as many Big Seven starts and a modest three-game winning streak, Kansas will play host to dangerous Drake here tonight in the first of two tough tests this week.
The Jayhawkers, who now have won six of eleven starts, tackle Missouri at Columbia Saturday night in their first Big Seven road engagement of the season.
The Bulldogs carry over-powering height in the person of Center John Pritchard, a 6-foot 9-inch center who paced the Canines to second place in the rugged Missouri Valley conference race last season. Operating off the post, Pritchard banked in 317 points last winter in 29 games.
Coach Fordy Anderson can start veterans at every other position too. Gene Ollrich, an all-Valley selection last season, is back at forward, along with Herb Rothbart, Bill Evans, the club's third high scorer last year on 175 points, again is one of the starting guards. Lyle Naylor or Gordon
The Sigma Alpha Epsilon intramural "A" team will meet Howard Engleman's freshman baskethallers at 5:35 p.m. today in Hoch auditorium. The game will be a preliminary to tonight's varsity contest with Drake.
intramural basketball champions last year, the Sig Albahs have essentially the same lineup to put on the floor tonight. Kenny Thomason and Bill Daugherty probably will spark the SAE team, while Lyn Smith and Bill Champion are expected to lead Engleman's freshman outfit.
Pritebard A Problem
Pritchard will pose the biggest problem Allen's youthful Hawkers have laced this season. Allen will probably settle on Claude Houchin, 6-foot-4 inch sophomore guard from Muncie, to keep an eye on the giant Drake post-man.
Flick, both of whom saw service last season, probably will be at the other sentinel.
Houchin, who has shuffled around two big barriers in Oklahoma's Bill Waters and Colorado's Carr Besemann, both of whom are 6 feet 5 in basketball height for this one, ches, will give away at least 13 inches adding Prithard's reach to his aerial advantage.
The Bulldogs edged Wichita, 42 to 41 last Thursday and bowed to Emporia Teachers, 47 to 69, at Emporia Saturday night. The husky Hornets laced the Jayhawks, 67 to 44, on the same floor early in the season. The 'Dogs previously had spanked the Teachers, 53 to 41, at Des Moines.
Hayc Win Over Denver
In addition Drake has dropped decisions to Missouri and Iowa State, bowing before the Tigers, 38 to 43, and losing the Cyclone scuffle, 47 to 49. The Iowans ran over Denver, conqueror of Notre Dame, 62 to 54.
In Kansas, Anderson's seasoned quintet will meet a steadily improving unit. The Hawkers picked up momentum on the Coast, winning two out of four contests; edged past Oklahoma here, 39 to 38; then steadied to punch Colorado here last Saturday, 57 to 44, to turn in their best performance of the season.
It will be the first meeting between the two clubs since 1939, when the Fowans scored a 34-29 victory Kansas had swept all 17 of the previous contests.

SAE Champs Win IM Thriller
The Sig Alphs and the A.V.C. turned in decisive "A" team victories last night but the Sigma Chis just edged past a game Pi KA.squared.
The Sig Alphs displayed the form that won them the LM, title last year as they took a 32 to 23 win from the previously unbeaten A.T.O.'s. Playing a controlled game, the Alphs led all the way to win going away. Thompson with 11 points and Daugherty with 7 paced the winners to victory. Lee and Weldensaul kept the A.T.O.'s in the game with their fine floor play and scoring.
The Sigma Chis outlasted a last quarter rally by the Pi K.A.'s to take a 39 to 37 win. The Sigma Chis led all the way and were never in trouble until the closing minutes when they had to stall to protect a two point lead. Lenord led the Chis with 13 counters and Oldham took top honors for the Pi K.A.'s with 21 points.
In a rough game that featured 41 personal fouls, the A.V.C. pulled a 42 to 34 win from the D.U.'s. Big Bob VanCitters controlled the boards at both ends besides leading the winners with 16 points. Gilliam also aided the winning cause with 10 points. Speedy Harry Spuehler worked for 13 points to lead the losers scoring.
Philadelphia, Jan. 14—(UP)—Ewell Doak Walker, jr., Southern Methodist's All-America sophomore halfback, planned to return to Dallas today with the Maxwell Memorial Football club award presented to him as the 1947 college player of the year.
The 21-year-old Walker, who passed and ran the Mustangs into the Cotton Bowl, and a 13-13 tie with Penn State on New Years day, was described as "the greatest all-around football player of my time" by Club President Bert Bell, commissioner of the national football league last night.
Walker became the first sophomore to receive the 11-year-old award when he was presented with a large silver box and a gold miniature football by Bell.
