K.C. Smokie Star Enrolls At K.U.; Was Slated To Attend Kansas State
Bob O'Brien, former ace for the Kansas City M. and O. Smokie basketball team, has enrolled at the University. O'Brien had been slated to attend Kansas State college.
The reason given by O'Brien for enrolling at the University instead of Kansas State was that his best friends, William Dulaney and William Fagans, were students here. He said that he was not contacted by anyone connected with the University athletic department.
"I had never enrolled at Kansas State so it is not a case of school jumping. I came here strictly on my own," the lanky AAU star said. He will go out for the basketball team, but emphasized that he was attending the University primarily for an education.
Carrying 10 Hours
To be eligible for athletic competition next semester, O'Brien must successfully complete 12 hours of studies this term. He is carrying 10 hours, the maximum since there are but 10 weeks of school remaining, and plans to add two hours via a correspondence course.
George B. Smith, dean of the School of Education where O'Brien is enrolled, termed the late enrollment "normal." Although the ex-Smokie star listed his major as physical education, he plans to change to the School of Business at the beginning of the next academic year.
Westport High School Star
O'Brien began his basketball career at Westport high school in Kansas City, Mo. He attended George Pepperdine college, Calif., for one semester before he entered the army. During his 18 months service he played some basketball for Camp Atterbury, Ind. He considers that team the best he has played with.
After his discharge, O'Brien signed up with the Kansas City Smokies of the AAU American basketball league. He was the sparkplug of the Kansas City team and was one of the top 10 high scorers for the league. Other high scorers that provided competition included Gordon Carpenter, Bob Kurland, Al Lubin, and Jim Polard.
Members of the Kansas State athletic department were fully informed about his departure, O'Brien claimed. He said that he could not inform Jack Gardner, K-State basketball coach, since the coach was in New York.
Texas Relays Has 1,100 Contestants
Austin, Texas—(UP)—Clear, crisp weather met the more than 1,100 track and field contestants here for today's opening of the 20th Texas relays, keeping unbroken a good weather record for the big event.
This afternoon's preliminaries in the university class will qualify other entrants to take part in the 100-yard dash event in which Charlie Parker of Texas university and Bill Martineson of Baylor will meet for the third time. Each has won once in their previous meetings.
With 18 universities, 23 colleges and 54 high schools entering teams, total participants are about equal to the record of 1,183 competitors in 1938.
Purdue, Drake, Michigan State, Kansas and Kansas State are among the midwest entrants, and from the Pacific Coast there are San Francisco university and George Pepperdine college.

Champaign. Ill.-(UP)-The field prepared today to battle Oklahoma A. & M., perennial kings of college wrestlers, in an effort to snatch the national championship from the southwestern school for the first time since N.C.A.A. competition began.
Cowboys To Defend NCAA Wrestling Title
The Aggies have won the title 16 times in the 18 years the tourney has been held. The other two years no team title was awarded.
Headed by George Dorsch, last year's 175 pound winner on the 1943 national championship team, the Aggies again were heavy favorites to repeat for the title.
However, competition was expected from Illinois, Big Nine champion, Cornell of Iowa, tied twice and unbeaten in all other dual meets this season, and Iowa State Teachers, the 1946 runnerup.
Oklahoma A. & M. too, was unbeaten in 10 dual meets prior to the national battling. The Aggies have been unbeaten in 22 of their 25 years at the sport, winning 151 matches, losing five and tying only four.
