Kansas Will Attend Five Indoor Track Meets In '48
By PAUL ZEH Assistant Sports Editor
Some flamin' words have been shootin' across central Kansas plains lately, between two peaceable towns in the Kaw Valley, Lawrence and Manhattan. This reminds us that it's feudin' time again for the Jayhawk and the Wildcat.
We think a bit of friendly, brothery feudin' now and then is perfectly acceptable in the best society. But these flurries between local factions and K. Staters too often inspire some verbal flame-throwing that would put Harold Ickes to shame. Often the ralbardy turns to physical "emoting", at which times Uncle Jimmy Green becomes the goat.
The participants in the current feud are Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the University's respected basketball coach, and Thurlo McCrady, athletic director at Kansas State.
It was first recognized as the real thing yesterday when McCrady huffed and puffed, "cheap personal publicity on the part of Allen," after the Kansas coach questioned the eligibility of the Wildcat center, Clarence Brumam.
***
At this stage of the feud we can see nothing to become aroused about. Coach Allen has protested nothing, but has only asked the Kansas State officials to clear up a doubt in his mind.
"I have made no protest and do not expect to, but I wanted to seek full information on Branum's case," coach Allen said. Such action is certainly not only permitted but desired by coaches against any school in the conference
Rules are made to be enforced, and more of Phog Alfen's kind of checking up would go a long way toward cleaning up intercollegiate athletics.
Phog's inquiry was, from the information released to date, reasonable and perfectly peaceable. We see no reason why McCrady's retort should have been designed to explode in the face of the Kansas coach.
"It is such instances as these, and also in the Bob O'Brien case where he was permitted to attend regular classes for weeks at Kansas State without enrolling in school, that cause one to raise eyebrows," Allen declared.
If Brannum is playing legally, then a factual explanation of his activities in the A. A. U. tournament last spring by McCrady would have cleared up the matter. Coach Allen is entitled to the facts if a Big Seven ruling is being crowded or over stepped.

Phog Allen has been called names many times before, usually because he has "stepped on someone's toes." Yet he is still respected for his honesty, and the sportsmanship reflected in his Jayhawker teams each year.
Collegiate athletics has room for more coaches like our own Phog Allen, who will ignore the wrath of public criticism in a constant effort to weed out the tares in our athletic pastures.
Crowley And Leighton Star In Table Tennis Tourney
Dave Cowley, business senior and Oliver Leighton, education freshman, were members of the winning Topeka team in the Missouri Valley table tennis matches in Des Moines Jan. 10 and 11.
Teams from Omaha, Des Moines, Kansas City, Mo., Kansas City, Kan, and Topeka participated in the contest. The Topeka team will retain possession of the trophy for a year
Cowley won first place with 11 victories and one defeat. Leighton tied for second place with 9 wins and 3 defeats.
The Kansas Jayhawk track team will take part in five indoor meets this spring, E. C. Quigley, director of athletics, said today.
Indoor competition for the Jayhawkers will begin Feb. 6 when they travel to Columbia to meet the Missouri Tigers. On Feb. 14 Kansas will meet the Oklahoma Sooners at Norman, and the following weekend they will engage Nebraska at Lincoln.
The semi-final indoor meet of the season for Kansas will be held at Kansas City. They will participate in the Big Seven meet which will be held Feb.28 at the Municipal auditorium.
To Daily News Meet
Kansas will close its indoor schedule on March 20 in the Chicago Daily News meet at Chicago.
Coach Bill Easton, starting his first full year as head track coach at K. U., has 16 returning lettermen to form the nucleus of his 1948 squad.
Bob Karnes, sophomore distance runner, and Tom Scofield, Big Seven outdoor high-jump champion, are being groomed for possible berths on the 1948 U. S. Olympic team.
Karnes, Scofield Hold Records
Karnes holds the Big Seven indoor and outdoor 2-mile championships at 10:06.3 and 9:51.3 respectively, and Scofield broke the old Big Six conference outdoor high-jump record last year with a leap of 6 feet $7\%$ inches.
Coach Easton came to K. U. from Drake university where he was head track coach for seven years. During the Big Seven cross-country 2-mile team race at Ames last fall, Nov. 15 Euston's team won the championship for the first time in K. U. history.
KU Swimmers Set For K-S
Following a two-week layoff over the Christmas holidays the University of Kansas swimming team is rounding out training for its scheduled tangle with the Kansas State Wildcats at Manhattan Jan. 17.
The aquatic meet will be the first during the 1948 season for both iquads and marks Kansas' first appearance on the swimming scene since before the war.
Candidates for the Jayhawker squad have been training since the first week in November. About 35 men have been working out regularly, but only about 20 are eligible or competition, according to mentor W. J. Mikols.
Below is the Kansas schedule:
Jan. 17 Kansas State
Jan. 31 Nebraska There
Feb. 7 Oklahoma There
*Feb. 14 Kansas State Here
*Feb. 20 Iowa State Here

Basketball Results
Longhorns Roll On In Title Defense
- Home Meet
New York, Jan. 13—(UP)—The Texas Longhorns, a team of shorties who usually come out on the tall end of the score, today were defending their Southwest conference basketball title in the good old Texas tradition—by shooting first.
The small but speedy Longhorns sewed up their conference game with Texas Christian last night in the first six minutes and the 45 to 39 victory over the Horned Frogs was their 12th in 13 starts.
Texas rolled up an 11 to 2 lead in the opening minutes, led 31 to 21 at the end of the first half, and outroughed T. C. U, in a brawling second half at Will Rogers coliseum in Fort Worth. Tom Hamilton, a 6-foot, 3-inch guard, one of the few tall men on the Longhorn team, led the Schmidt was high scorer for T. C. U, scoring with 15 points. Guard Gene with nine points.
Wisconsin, although beaten in non- conference competition, ranked as the only unbeaten team in the Big Nine conference.
