Jayhawkers To KC Tourney For Brush With Buffaloes
The University of Kansas Jayhawkers, with a defeat at the hands of Emporia Teachers already spotting their record, will meet a band of Colorado Buffaloes who already have beaten the Colorado Aggies twice this year, in the opening night of play at the conference basketball tourney in Kansas City tomorrow.
By COOPER ROLLOW Daily Kansan Sports Editor
Monday night Kansas State flashed the warning signal to the Big Seven. "Watch out," the signal said, "we're on our way with the strongest Wildcat basketball team in history."
The K-State 75-17 rout of Texas Christian was considered by some to be the result of a lucky charm supplemented by an unusually rim-conscious evening. But after the Hoozier affair Monday—well?

Kansas rooters unable to attend the Orange Bowl will be glad to hear that Walter "Red" Barber will broadcast the contest over CBS. Barber's vivid and colorful description of the recent Kansas-Missouri game was well-liked by midwestern fans, and the veteran announcer gained a lot more Jayhawker friends by referring to the Kansas team on subsequent broadcasts.
Barber interrupted his account of the North Carolina-Virginia football game a few weeks ago to remind his listeners "not to miss the radio account of the Orange Bowl, when that fine Kansas team, which I had the privilege of watching against Missouri, meets Georgia Tech."

C. E. McBride, in the Monday Star, lists the following as his choices for the eight major upsets of the 1947 grid season: Missouri over Duke, Columbia over Army, SMU over Texas, Oklahoma over Missouri, Northwestern over Illinois, Purdue over Illinois, Kansas' tie with Oklahoma, and Iowa over Indiana.
To Mr. McBride's tabulations this writer would like to insert only the TCU tie with Southern Methodist to make the list complete.

From the Orange Bowl press-radio brochure and record book prepared by Everett A. Clay, the events publicity director, comes the following wealth of interesting information:
The highest - scoring f o t b a l l games in the nation's four major post-season bowl classics are usually at Miami. . . in the 13-game history of the Orange Bowl series, the winning team has scored an average of 20.5 points, and the loser 10.5. . . closest bowl games are usually at the Sugar Bowl. . . the average Rose Bowl difference in score in 33 games is 14.3 points per game. . . those lucky few who go all the way to Miami will not lack plenty of activities to keep them busy. . . from the morning of Dec. 27 until Jan. 3 the city of Miami will treat its guests to events ranging from parades, luncheons, aqua follies, and boxing, to horse racing, fireworks, bands, and shows . . . and then, if you run out of something to do, there's always the football game.
Jayhawker Football Squad In Top Physical Condition
The return Tuesday of Ed Lee, ailing sophomore tackle, brought the Jayhawker team back to normal physical condition for the first time since early October. Dick Bertuzzi, halfback, and Forrest Griffith, fullback, have minor leg injuries, but Coach Sauer said that they should be ready for heavy work tomorrow.
According to Federal statistics the American farmer receives 52 cents of every dollar spent by consumers for his products.
The Jayhawkers will be out to start the Colorado series off right this season. Last year the Buffaloes won two out of three engagements.
It will be another meeting between two coaching rivals, Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen of Kansas, and Frosty Cox, Colorado head mentor who once starred under Dr. Allen.
The Allen men will go into the Colorado game with only last week's 67-44 defeat from the Teachers behind them, while Colorado has beaten the Colorado Aggies twice by scores 60 to 40. The score rung up against Kansas by the Emporia team was the highest ever recorded against a Jayhawker cage quintet.
Otto Schnellbacher, member of the Jayhawker Orange Bowl-bound football team, again will be noticeably absent from the cage squad. Schnellbacher is not due to join the Allen group until Jan. 5, just in time for the vicious Big Seven grind.
So Dr. Allen will have to count once again on the freshman and sophomore members of his squad when the Jayhawkers take the floor at 9:30 p.m. Thursday in Municipal auditorium.
