MONDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1247 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE FIVE By COOPER ROLLOW Daily Kansas Sports Editor The Kansas Jayhawkers will go into the Orange Bowl two-touchdown underdogs. The wise boys who make up the parlays have decided that Georgia Tech is the team to win, probably by 12 points or more. The underdog status assigned Kansas will make Coach George Sauer and team extremely happy. Never do the Jayhawkers play so magnificently as when they aren't supposed to win. Big Six basketball teams are batting 1,000 per cent in nonleague games played so far. Conference teams have won all six contests against outside opponents. Latest to come home with a victory were the Oklahoma Sooners, who barely slipped by Ohio State 53-23. Kansas opens its non-league season Dec. 13 against Emporia State Teachers. 球 球 For recommended reading we suggest the well-written article by Bob Busby on Ray Evans and George Sauer in the feature section of Sunday's Kansas City Star. ★ ★ ★ A badly scared Joe Louis has agreed to a rematch with Jersey Joe Wolcott at Yankee stadium next June. Louis was awarded a decision over the game challenger Friday night, but only after a split vote favored the Brown Bomber by the narrowest of margins. The controversy which followed the decision in favor of Louis has not yet quieted. Twenty of 33 sports writers who witnessed the fight believed that Jersey Joe won, a survey disclosed Saturday. The Brown Bomber's inability to land his famous one-two punch on Walcott's chin nearly cost him the championship. Yet we can't help believing that the same thing won't happen next June. Louis has a reputation for quickly disposing of those who embarrass him once. Remember the Max Schmeling massacre seven years ago? The German fighter had beaten Louis before the Brown Bomber won the heavyweight title. The memory of that defeat plagued Louis, and come the second meeting between the two the champion unleashed a fistic barrage which ended the fight only two minutes and four seconds after the starting bell. Then there were Farr, Pastor, and Galento, each of whom had done something to irritate the Detroit Negro in previous fights. Louis clobbered them quickly and easily. The outstanding fastie flop of the decade was in June, 1943, when Billy Conn so feared Louis retaliation that he turned the match into a farce. So we'll raise a questioning eyebrow next June when Walkoff fans begin predicting a Jersey Joe victory over the champion. For the Brown Bomber will be mad, and when Louis is mad—as records show—those who covert his crown usually have a pretty rough time. ** The thrashing which Notre Dame administered to Southern California Saturday would seem to indicate that 1947 Football Season Ends With 13 Undefeated Teams New York—(UP)—Thirteen all-conquering collegiate football teams reached the end of the rainbow today with perfect records for the 1947 football season and many of them will find a pot of gold in a post-season bowl game. The threat remains, of course, that some of the 13 might get “bowled or” within the next three weeks. over" within the next three weeks. There is sure to be one of the undefeated, untied elevens knocked from the list in the Cigar Bowl, which has matched two of the select group—West Chester, Pa., Teachers and the Missouri Valley Vikings. But today, all 13 were receiving the nation's acclaim—from mighty Notre Dame down to smaller schools just as powerful as the Irish in their own league. Notre Dame, of course, came in for special applause as a result of having concluded its first perfect season since 1830 by trouncing Southern California, 33 to 7, to round out a strong bid for the mythical national championship. Michigan, another perfect record team, is Notre Dame's chief rival for the title and will have to prove its claim by facing Southern Cal in the Rose Bowl. Penn State, third member of the unbeaten, untied Big Three, has a date with unbeaten but once tied Southern Methodist in the Cotton Bowl. The West Chester Teachers have already won a bowl game—the Burley Bowl on Thanksgiving day, in Pacific Coast football isn't what it used to be... With no disparagement intended toward the Irish, it appears that the brand of football played on the west coast has been considerably overrated the past two years. Remember how U.C.L.A. fared against Buddy Young and company last January. A Michigan walkaway over the Southern Cal Trojans New Year's Day now seems likely. Rose Bowl satrons will probably not witness the brand of football which will be played in the Sugar, Cotton, Orange, and Delta bowls. One fight crowd which yelled and booed alternately at the Louis-Walcott affair Friday night must have been composed of a greater proportion of intellectuals than usual. Instead of the customary pre-fight admotion of "may the better man win," announcer Harry Ballough boomed out "may the superior participant emerge victorious." Big Six basketball coaches, meeting in Kansas City Saturday, predicted that Oklahoma and Missouri would fight it out for the conference basketball championship. Kansas should finish third, the cage mentors decided, Colorado and Iowa State look to be deadlocked in fourth place, and Kansas State and Nebraska seem slated for the cellar position. Last year Oklahoma won the basketball race. Missouri was second, and Kansas and Iowa State tied for third place. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.
