UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
FEBRUARY 25,1947
By BOB DELLINGER (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
By the end of the half the oldtime Kansans, old enough to have seen Black in the years before, were comparing Monday's game favorably with other great games of the Hawk's career.
The general consensus after the game was, Black had played only one better game in his stellar career, that being against the Great Lakes squad in 1942. The Navy squad named Black the best player it had faced all year, and the Bluejackets played twice against the Whiz Kids and against most of the other top teams in the country.

Herewith is sounded the warning to Oklahoma and Missouri—that Kansas may be out of the Big Six race as far as first place goes, but the Jayhawkers are still plenty to cope with and can ruin some other team's hopes.
- * *
Right now it looks as though the Big Six race will be decided Thursday because an Oklahoma vicinity would throw out of reach two games in front.
A Missouri triumph, however, would throw the fight right back into the same tie with both teams facing Kansas in final games.
Kansas got off to a slow start in Big Six play because of intersectionsal and interconference matches, and will wind up the Big Six season by playing in each of the last three games on the conference slate.
Each of the games is with a first-division club, taking Iowa State on Friday, Oklahoma on the following Tuesday, and Missouri on the succeeding Friday. After that game, the Jayhawkers will close the season against Colorado March 14.
Some Kansas fans are hoping,
futilely as far as we can see, for a
bid to the National Invitational tourney
at the Garden.
The strongest facts in Kansas favor are her victories over De-Paul and St. Louis and the creditable showings made against the Aggies even though three contests went to the Oklahoma squad.
Oklahoma's victory over Wisconsin and Missouri's victory over Illinois helped prove that the Big Six is one of the nation's best conferences.
Also don't forget that Kansas has not been beaten badly this year, the worst defeat being a 10-point loss to the Aggies in Kansas City. They have rung up victories of 32, 25, 19 and 17 points.
Also remember that Kansas is the only team in the country which has beaten BOTH victors over the Kentucky Wildcats of Adolph Rupp. Food for thought.
'Junior No Exemption Until He's Here'
Oklahoma City. (UP)—You can't count Junior as an income tax exemption until he's here," Internal Revenue Collector H. C. Jones told an expectant couple who filed a federal return, claiming an exemption for their unborn child.
To add assurance to the claim, the couple listed the date of the baby's birth, May 19, 1947, and the baby's name—a girl's name.
"If we permitted an exemption like this," tax officials said "we might be cheating the parents because they might have twins."
Charlie 'The Hawk' Steals The Show As Kansas Rolls Over Aggies 37-34
Charlie "the Hawk" Black flew again in Hoch auditorium Monday night and soared to one of the greatest heights of his career as the Jayhawkers overpowered the Oklahoma Aggies. 37-34.
Black became one of the select few players of all time who counted 20 points against one of Henry Iba's all-star defensive teams as he dumped in his final score on a free throw ___ with two minutes remaining.
The Hawk amassed his total on six of his most unorthodox shots from the field, one easy setup on assist by Bill Sapp, and six free throws out of eight attempts.
Another outstanding feature of the game was the stellar defensive play of freshman Harold England, versatile southpaw from Halstead, Kan.
England at various times kept Joe Bradley, A. L. Bennett, and Bob Rogers blanketed and performed like a seasoned veteran underneath both boards and at the guard and quarterback posts.
The game started slowly, as is customary between those two defenders, with the score stood 6-3. Kansas, with seven minutes gone of the first half.
Kansas pulled slowly ahead to a 12-3 margin, but the Aggies rolled before the half, and the intermission score was 15-13. Kansas.
The Aggies continued their spurt as the second period opened and rolled into the lead for the first time at a 19-17 count. Kansas went back on frees by Schnellbacher and Blackhorse and Bacher, but Joe Bradley and Bob Harris put the Aggies back in front by a 23-21 mark.
Then the Hawk took over, and the issue was out of the hands of the visitors for the rest of the ball game. The outcome seemed doubtful at times because of late Aggie rallies, but the Hawk would have none of this.
Following a free by Otto Schnellbacher, Black went to work and pulled Kansas to a five-point lead by two goals and two frees and he, England, and Schnellbacher kept the ball rolling.
Oklahoma A. & M. rallied in the last few minutes, but "old reliable" Ray Evans pushed in a final goal to ice up the game with a minute to go.
Music was furnished by the Liberty Memorial High school band of Lawrence, and half-time entertainment was provided by the K.U. Archery club.

Thieves Take Kitchen Sink While Takes Tweets
Cleveland. (UP)—Four thieves to dayback a push cart up to a condemned house being wrecked and took the kitchen sink—and four washbows while the wrecking crew was taking a breather.
They returned later with a truck and loaded up a used bathtub, complete with ring. Neighbors who watched the thieves at work thought they were some of the workmen.
1,030 Points
Here is Charlie "the Hawk" Black, twice all-American forward from Kansas, who scored 20 points against Oklahoma A & M Monday night to lead the Jayhawkers to a 37-34 victory.
Black has amassed a total of 1,030 points in his career at Kansas. The Hawk has played 83 varsity games at K.U. and has maintained a spectacular lifetime average of 12.41 points per game.
Black is one of few men to accomplish the feat of hitting 20 against the Iba-coached squad, and he missed the record by only three points.
Topeka (UP)—Rep. Bill Towers, Kansas City, received an out-of-state reaction to his faceted bill to require Kansas pedestrians to wear red tail-lights.
M. E. Ross of Omaha, Neb., an old friend of Towers, heard a radio newscast mention of the negro representative's bill, and sent him a supply of match folders.
Bill To Require Tail-Lights On Pedestrians Gets Reply
On the cover of each folder was the printed invitation for the user to "get lit up on Bill Towers."

Rexall, Pharmacists Take I-M Games
Rexall and the Pharmacists both came from behind to win intramural basketball games Monday night.
Rexall defeated the Wolks, 38 to 29, in a rousing second half offensive display. The winners were on the short end of a 15 to 12 score at the intermission. Calderara led the last half drive and looped in 12 points for the game to pace scoring.
The Pharmacists edged past Nu SigmaNu, 31 to 29. Held to one field goal in the first half by a tight Nu Sig defense, the Pharmacists found their scoring eye late in the contest to squeeze out a victory. Conwell of the winners took high point honors with 11 scores.
