Coach Henry Shenk of the Faculty Flashes announced today that his team would rely on unorthodox playing technique to defeat the K.U. varsity in Hoch auditorium tonight. He intimated that this decision was the result of necessity rather than choice after watching his charges n one practice.
The varsity team, under cage boss Howard Engleman, has been spending the week in an attempt to find where the faculty players are holding their secret practices. The Jay-hawker regulars are worried over their lack of scouting reports on the Flashes.

Further thumb-nail sketches of Faculty Flashes:
Dean Paul B. Lawson—no basketball experience at all—claims that he plays any and all positions in the same way—reports that he coached the cage sport in Timbuctoo
Ogden Jones - played basketball in Lawrence High school in 1910.
William Fisher—tossed in baskets for Baker University during college days to qualify as a faculty mainstay.
Prof. George Beal—played high school basketball at Topeka in 1917—second string—starred in track, tennis, and boxing.
Prof. Alfred Seelye—a member of high school squad in Syracuse, N.Y.—later played on independent teams in same city.

Latest word from headquarters of the Faculty Flashes is that Miss Florence Black of the mathematics department will act as their water-boy (or water-girl, if you wish).

One interesting angle on Big Six coaching changes in recent weeks was the fact that Emmet R. "Abe" Stuber, new head man of football at Iowa State, earlier refused the same position at Kansas State. The consensus is that Sam Francis stepped into a difficult role at the Manhattan school, a role which most coaches would have preferred to side-sten.
Stuber may accomplish for the Cyclones what Don Faurot did for the Missouri Tigers. When Faurot first came to Columbia, the Tigers were floundering in the conference second division with the regularity which Iowa State now enjoys.
Faurot pulled Missouri out of the pigskin doldrums and made the school a threat for the conference title every year. If Stuber should work the wizardry up at Ames, the Big Six (or Mid-West) could well turn into a dogfight every fall for the gridiron championship, Kansas proved her mettle under George Sauer last fall. Only Kansas State and Colorado would remain as unknown quantities if Stuber continues the winning ways he established at Cape Girardeau.
Records In Danger At Swimming Meet
Records may fall in two events in the women's intramural swimming meet finals in the Robinson gymnasium pool at 7 tonight.
Times turned in for the back crawl and breast stroke races have been crowded in the preliminaries last week, and one record fell to Josephine Stuckey, in the 2-length side-overarm race.
Pi Beta Phi won top honors in the meet last year, with Delta Gamma second and the Independents third. The first two of last year's winners have strong teams this year and will be competing heavily with Kappa Kaopa Gamma and Delta Delta Delta.
Track Meet Begins Today
The qualifying round of the men's intramural track meet will be held at 4:15 p.m. today at the Stadium track. Men finishing first, second, and third in today's heats will be eligible to compete in the finals Thursday.
Jayhawkers Defend Two Titles At Twentieth Annual Texas Relays
Kansas Jayhawkers will be defending champions in the high jump and 880-yard relay at the 20th annual Texas relays in Austin Friday and Saturday. Last year Tom Scofield took first for Kansas in the high jump with a leap of 6 feet, 6 inches.
Altogether champions in five individual and seven relay events will be seeking to repeat their victories of last year in the university class of the relays.
Second place winners last year in three of the four undefended events also will be seeking the top rung they missed in the 1946 carnival. Other defending champs returning are Bobby Lowther, LSU, javelin; George Kadera, Texas A. and M., discus; Dick Miller, Nebraska, pole vault; Allen Lawler, Texas, 100-yard dash.
Baylor Defends
Baylor will defend the 440-yard relay; Texas. 2-mile relay; Drake distance medley relay; Ward Island Navy, spring medley relay; Texas A. and M., mile relay, and Abilene, Tex., Christian, 440-yard football relay.
Runners-up coming back are Augie Eurie, Furth, 120-yard high in influence; Jenson, Tulane, 3,000-meter and Indera, Texas Aggies. In the shut out
Only wide-open event is the broad jump, won last year by Oklahoma A. and M.'s great Ralph Tate, who also won the high hurdles.
Lawler is expected to lose his title to team-mate Charley Parker, providing Parker can get by Baylor's Bill Martineson in the third meeting of the swift pair. Last year, Lawler bested Martineson in the time of 9.7 seconds for the championship.
Johnson Rates Second
Tulane's Johnson, although turning the mile in 4:24.2 to beat Rice's Bob Porter, rates as second choice to Texas' Jerry Thompson, 1943 NCAA two-mile champion.
In the baton-passing department Baylor will be hard-pressed to re-evaluate, but relay, having already lost two decisions to Texas, the pre-meet favorite.
Preliminaries in the two-day meet will be held Friday and Saturday mornings with the finals in the three divisions-university, college and high school-scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

Sooners Lose To Holy Cross
New York—(UP)—The Holy Cross crusaders were happy national collegiate basketball champions with but one regret today—they didn't get to play Utah.
Victors, 58 to 47, over Oklahoma last night in another of the upsets which have marked post-season tournament play from start to finish. They were not nearly as stirred up their triumph as they were over the fact that they didn't get to tiele Utah's national invitational champs in a mythical title game.
"We wanted to play Utah, even though we might have lost," said shrewd Alvin (Doggie) Julian, the elated Holy Cross coach, "but the circumstances just prevented it. I think Utah would have stayed around if they had known we could win this game, but how could they have known that? I didn't myself until they honked that final horn."
Utah, victor in three straight upset sets games in the national invitational tournament, sent its team home by plane early yesterday because Oklahoma, the other NCAA finalist, had declined a chance for a playoff game to settle the argument that now will never be settled.
Holy Cross wound up in a blaze of glory with its 23rd straight victory by beating Oklahoma with a second half rush.
The Crusaders made it look comparatively easy by running off from the Sooners, who were ahead 31 to 28 at the half.
Oklahoma was outgamed, outsmarted, and outcoached in the second half.
Julian, who won his spurs in the high pressure coaching business by bringing basketball fame to little boys in Pennsylvania, instructed his boy to "watch that fellow Gerald Tucker" when the second half began.
"He is a great player." Julian said. "I knew that we had to stop him to win." How well they stopped Tucker was shown in the fact that he was high point man for the game with 22 points. Yet he was able to score only seven of them in the second half, five on free throws. Not until the final three minutes of play was the veteran Sooner pivot man able to break through for a field goal.
Moscow—(UP)—Secretary of the State George C. Marshall categorically denied today Soviet charges that the United States and Britain had enriched themselves by 10 billion dollars in reparations.

His genius gave wings to words
It was an historic moment. Alexander Graham Bell's telephone had just spoken its first words—"Mr. Watson, come here, I want you!"
That evening in Boston—March 10, 1876—Dr. Bell's crude instrument transmitted his voice only to the next room. But out of it was destined to come a whole new era—the era of quick, easy nation-wide telephony, of radio telephony in all its varied forms, of talking pictures, voice and music reproduction systems and electrical aids for the hard of hearing. Few inventions have played a greater part in shaping the world we live in!
Since 1877—just one year after Bell's long experimentation was crowned with success—it has been Western Electric's privilege to help carry forward his great idea which gave wings to words. In that year Western Electric made its first telephone. More than 45,000,000 have followed it—over 4,000,000 of them in 1946 alone.
Today, from coast to coast, in factories, offices, distributing houses and central office installation crews, there are more than 110,000 Western Electric workers. Imbued with the Bell System spirit of service, they are helping to provide equipment in record quantities to meet telephone needs far beyond any envisioned by the inventor.
This year marks the 100th Anniversary of Bell's birth in Edinburgh, Scotland, on March 3, 1847. From early youth, he was keenly interested in aiding the hard of hearing. He became a teacher of "visible speech" when 18 years old.
This work led to experiments with "telegraphing" sound, out of which, in 1876, came his greatest invention the telephone.
Dr. Bell was a great humanitarian as well as a great scientist. His accomplishments—in aiding the deaf, in communications, in aviation and other fields—were outstanding. His rich life—which had an incalculably great influence on the world—came to an end on August 2, 1922.
