FEBRUARY 13.1947
By BOB DELINGER (Daily Kansun Sports Editor)
While the Jayhawkers were busy engaged in dropping their ninth game of the season, and the third to Oklahoma A. & M., other things were going on in the Big Six.
The night before the Aggie game, the Iowa State Cyclones edged out the Nebraska 56-54 at Lincoln, eliminating the Cornhuskers from the league picture.
Saturday night could make a big change in the setup of the Big Six. Nebraska will attempt to take Kansas' last chance at the title away from them, while Iowa State will defend its home court against Missouri, and will be waiting for the revenge blow which will knock the Tigers out of the top slot.

A. L. Bennett, Hank Iba's choice for the top player in the country, didn't show up so well Tuesday night and may cause Iba to change his mind. Joe Bradley will probably be his next choice.
The Associated Press box score of the Kansas-Oklahoma Aggie game lists five forwards and six guards for Kansas with no centers in the lineup. Maybe that's why they lost.
DePaul's victory over Kentucky makes the Kansas-DePaul clash at Chicago this month take on a grimmer aspect for Oread fans. It doesn't seem to bother the Kentucky aggregation, however, because the Wildcats have hit 80 points in two games since that loss.
The DePaul squad is paced by veterans Gene Stump, Ernie DIBene-detto, Whitey Kachan, and operate on a post set around Ed Mikan, who is just beginning to fill brother George's shoes.

Navy, which almost pulled the upset of the decade in football last fall, pulled off one in basketball by toppling West Virginia from the nation's unbeaten ranks with a 57-55 victory Wednesday night.

This is the second straight year that the Middies have toppled the Mountainers from the favored post. Only the Duquesne-Dukes, winners of 15 straight, remain undefeated in major college play.
Buddy Young has decided to lay off pro football for a while, and has settled down to wait for the 1948 Olympic games in which he expects to participate as a track man.

Young, meanwhile, has had a one-year ban slapped on him as an amateur, for jumping to play in the pro-college football game which was cancelled before he could manage to lose his amateur status completely.
"Dem Bums" will stand behind their fireball manager through anything that comes this year, and the fierce Brooklyn loyalty is making itself known in some odd ways.
One Brooklyn movie house advertised a Larnine Day picture as "starring Mrs. Lippy."
Oklahoma A & M managed to stop its three-game losing streak against the Jayhawkers, but not until it had suffered its first string of three setbacks since 1935 and was eliminated from the Missouri Valley race.
The Aggie record is now 17 victories and 5 defeats.
Now Look Lady, You've Gotta Take The Money
Fort Wayne, Ind. (UP)—County Clerk Elton Marquart reports that a married couple made up and the wife revealed she had not cashed any of the support checks her husband had turned over to the clerk for six months.
"I knew we were going to make up, so I just tore the checks up and tossed them into the fire," she told Marquart when he asked why none of the cancelled checks had come back to his office.
Mr. Marquart made out new checks and gave them to the happily reconciled pair to keep his office records straight.
Large Crowd Sees Kansas Drop Game To Oklahoma Aggies
Stillwater, Okla. (UP)—The largest crowd ever to see a basketball game in Oklahoma-9,200—saw Oklahoma A. and M. college Tuesday night display its old time form to defeat Kansas 33-31.
With seven minutes of the last half gone, the Aggies pulled up with the Kansas at 25-all. Then it was 26-all. Joe Bradley then pitched a long one to give the Aggies a lead they never relinquished.
The closing minutes were furious with Kansas fouling often in a fight for the ball. A, and M. cashed in on this with two charity ties by Lou Amaya which made the final score: A, & M. 33, Kansas 31.
Kansas led at the half, 20-15. Otto Schnellbacher was high point man with six field goals and four free tosses for 16 points. Bradley for the Aggies followed closely with six field goals and two at the charity line for 14 points.
Kansas took the lead at the start and at one time led 19-9 before the defending national collegiate champions warmed up.

Red Flannels Brighten Russell Business District
Russell. (UP)A suit of old fashioned red flannel underwear, worn by a banker, and outside his other garments at that, brightened the scene in the Russell business district recently.
John G. Deines, Russell state bank cashier, explained today that he wore the suit on a one-block, daylight dash between the city hall and the bank to collect a two-dollar bet from chief of police Ed Mohl.
There Should Be A Shorter Route
