Buffs To Be Kansas Foe In Big Seven Tilt Tomorrow
The Kansas Jayhawkers, with a hard-fought victory over the defending championship Oklahoma Sooners under their belts, will take on the Buffaloes from Colorado tomorrow night in Hoch auditorium.
The Jayhawkers will rank no better than an even favorite against the Buffs, despite their surprise 39 to 38 overtime defeat of the Sooners last Tuesday. Against the Sooners, Kan- was connected with only 12 out of 78 shots attempted.
The Buffaloes recently upset powerful Temple 50 to 45, on the last lap of their eastern tour. Temple brushed past mighty Kentucky two weeks ago, 60 to 59, and ran up 49 points on the defensive-minded Oklaahoma Aggies.
Second Game With Buffs
The Kansas-Colorado contest will mark the second meeting between the two schools this year and their first since the conference officially became the Big Seven. The Jayhawkers hammered Frosty Cox's crew, 49 to 39, in the loop tournament at Kansas City before Christmas vacation.
After the Kansas game tomorrow, the Buffalooes will head for Manhattan, where they are slated to take the floor against high-flying Kansas State Monday. Iowa State will entertain Missouri at Ames in that night's only other Big Seven tilt.
"We're in good condition and as ready as we'll ever be to meet those toughies," Frosty Cox, Colorado basketball coach, said this morning as he ushered a 12-man squad aboard a bus bound for Denver where the party will entrain for Lawrence.
"Our boys caught affire in the second half against Temple." the Colorado mentor remarked. "If they can keep it up we'll make things unpleasant for some teams this season."
Many veteran sports observers feel that the Colorado squad has a chance to upset both the Jayhawkers and the Aggies on their home courts if the Buffs play as they did against high-flying Temple last week.
The game tomorrow will be a meeting of the two youngest teams in the conference. Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen, Kansas coach, will open with one senior, three sophomores, and a freshman, while Cox is scheduled to start a senior, a junior, and three sophomores.
Can Tie The Score
The battle will give Dr. Allen a chance to break even with one of his former pupils, Cox. The Buffalo coach currently holds a 2 to 1 edge since he took over the reins of the Colorado team.
If Kansas can get by the Buffers, the Jayhawkers will retain their position at the top of the conference standings.
The probable starting line-ups:
Schnellbacher (6-2) F
England (6-2) F
Waugh (6-0) C
Gang (6-4) G
Samp (6-2) G
Hills (6-3)
Rolander (6-3)
Besemann (6-3)
Walseth (5-11)
Eskridge, Gridmen Bolster BB Squad
Jack Eskridge, 6 foot, 4 inch forward, has returned to practice with the Jayhawker court squad. Eskridge, who was released from Watkins hospital Tuesday in time to watch the Oklahoma game, has been plagued by the flu and trick knees most of this season.
Five members of the football team have also joined Phog Allen's team to bolster the inexperienced Jayhawkers for the Big Seven season. Besides Otto Schnellbacher, who played more than half of the Sooner game, Charlie Moffett, Tom Scott, Hoyt Baker, and Cliff MacDonald have donned trunks for hippads.
Johnny Dewell, an outstanding prospect last season until he was declared ineligible, will return to the court wars in two weeks, after the end of the semester.
AHA Ends Hockey Fight
New York, Jan. 9-(UP)-The Amateur Hockey association team, which will sail today for the Winter Olympics at St. Moritz, "has a chance to win first place" for the first time in the history of U. S. competition in the international games, according to Walter Brown, vice-president of the A. H. A.
Defending the A. H. A. Thursday in its Olympic hockey squabble with the Amateur Athletic union, Brown said that the A. A. U. had not responded to a "peace feller" by his group and called the A. H. A. squad the best ever to represent this country abroad.
"It has the best coach and the best equipment," Brown said. AHA To Represent US
Several weeks ago, the Swiss organizing committee accepted the A. H. a team as the official U. S. hockey representative for the games which will begin on Jan. 30. The U. S. Olympic committee, which has selected an A. A. U. team to represent the United States, immediately threatened to withdraw all other U. S. winter sports teams from the games unless its hockey squad was named as the official American entry.
Brown said that a spokesman for the U. S. O. C. approached him two weeks ago in an effort to settle the controversy.
AAU Ignores Compromise
"We offered to let the A. A. U. take over the direction of the hockey team," Brown said. "Our only stipulation was that our coach, John B. Garrison, be retained in that capacity and that in the event we could not get together in the selection of the squad personnel, that Garrison would have the final word. We have never heard a yes or no on that proposal so we are going ahead on our own, on our own funds."
Brown said he had been assured by the international ice hockey federation that the team which the A. A. U. plans to send to St. Moritz not only will be prohibited from competing in the Olympics, but also will be barred from all international play in Europe.
He stated that 12 of the 15 members of the A. H. A. squad were on the list of the A. A. U. Olympic hockey prospects.
In Chicago, Avery Brundage, chairman of the U. S. Olympic committee, said he knew nothing officially of any offer of the A. H. A. to turn over direction of its Olympic hockey team to the A. A. U.
"I understand there have been some talks in New York," he said, "but I know nothing of it officially."

Would Bar 'Pro' Teams
New York, Jan. 9—(UP)—Officials of the National Collegiate Athletic Association had a brand new police force all lined up today but kept their fingers crossed until the new "sanity code," outlawing paid college athletes, comes up for approval tomorrow,
Unless the code is passed by a two-thirds majority, the police force will have no laws to enforce and will automatically pass out of existence before its first case.
Committees empowered to investigate violations of the proposed sanity code with suspension or expulsion from the N. C. A. A. as a penalty for any school guilty of infractions of the hard and fast rules governing amateurism, recruiting and aid to athletes will be set up.
Either penalty would wreck the athletic program of an offending school. The N.C. A.A. represents only one college in four but Secretary Kennedy L. "Tug" Wilson said the representation among colleges with big time athletic schedules was so overwhelming he couldn't recall more than a handful that are not members.
No N. C. A. A. schools will be permitted to schedule any school that has been either suspended or expelled.
Leahy Would Have Played Wolverines
Kingston, N. Y. — (UP) — Coach Frank Leahy, in a properly expansive post-season mood, admitted it was too bad today that his "great Notre Dame team" could not have played the "great Michigan team, which had great coaching and great spirit that made them a great team to beat."
"Michigan was second to none," he said, "but the Irish would have welcomed the chance to meet the Wolverines any time or any place."
Mt. Rainier National park, in the state of Washington, was established by act of Congress in 1899.
New York, Jan. 9—(UP)—West Virginia, spotlighted as one of the East's leading basketball teams, today joined the parade of illustrious clubs which have met disaster this season in Madison Square Garden.
Garden Jinx Hits West Virginia Five
The mountainers came to the garden last night heavily favored to score their sixth straight victory. They left with their first 1947-48 defeat, at 58 to 53' loss administered by little Manhattan college.
