UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
JANUARY 28,1947
By BOB DELLINGER (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
Kansas fans are looking ahead to the "big test" tonight with the Kansas State Wildcats The concensus is that the contest will be rough and tough and that the Jayhawkers will have to prove their mettle the hard way.
Kansas State will be out after the first Wildcat victory over the Jay-hawkers since 1837 and will try to break the Lawrence hoodoo which has kept the Aggies winless on the Lawrence court.
The '35 meeting of the two clubs, which K-State won in overtime by a 39-35 count, was an exhibition match played on 12-foot goals with radical rules.
The Jayhawkers have won 30 of the last 32 battles, and the only two losses to the Aggies, in '35 and '37, were both overtime battles.
If you'll remember, the Aggies ran the score into the 80's last year with Big Bob Kurland dumping in 58 points. But no more. This year the worm has turned.
The Jayhawkers now hold an 18- game winning streak at home against the Aggies, since the series started in 1929.

St. Louis is breezing along in the Missouri Valley and is tasting sweet revenge over last year's Oklahoma A & M triumph at St. Louis.
An important non - conference game will take place tonight at Norman with two NCAA - conscious teams, Oklahoma and Oklahoma A & M, tangling in an inter-conference match. The victor would be one-up toward a tournament bid.

Kansas is probably the only team in the country with a conference record of one and three which is talking about chances of winning the conference outright or in a tie
Hank Greenberg, 1946 major league home run king, claims that he "several years" left to play. The former Tiger slugger, now with the Pirates, is reported to be asking $75,000 salary.

Deacon Gil Dodds is out after Glenn Cunningham's indoor unofficial mile record as he showed Saturday night by returning to the boards for an easy victory in the mile at Boston.
Dodds was disappointed at his "poor" showing in annexing his first comeback run in 4:09.1, the best time turned in since he retired in 1944.
Cunningham set his unofficial record in a paced mile, turning in a time of 4:04.4, but Dodds is aiming on beyond to a 4:03 mile which would compare to a four-minute affair outdoors.

Kansas broke its string of three conference defeats by mauling Iowa State, 55-30. Friday night.
Coach Jack Gardner watched the Kansas-Iowa game and is expected to try a new type of defensive shift against Coach Howard Engleman's two-tteam system which allows the entire first team to rest at one time.
A new face at center for the Jayhawkers will be Harold England, freshman find from Halstead. Eng-
gineer David Mackenzie of 49th hole who hit for five points against the Cyclones while gathering in re-bounds from both boards.
Since both teams are trying to pull out of the cellar, the game is sure to be a tough one for the Jayhawkers to walk off with because of the 21-game victory string over the Aggies which the Manhattan men will be out to crack.
On the other hand, there is the Lawrence jinx which has kept Aggie teams from victory in every game played on the Lawrence court.
