JANUARY 24,1947

The inter-class track meet between freshman squad members and upper-class squad members will get under way this afternoon, but without spectators.
Coach Ray Kanehl said that spectators could not be admitted because there isn't room for them in the indoor track space in the stadium.
The meet will include all squad members, including lettermen, and advance figures promise a close result. The broad jump was run off yesterday to get the jumpers off the running track, and seven events will be run today and four tomorrow.
The mile run, 60-yard dash, 440-
yard run, 60-year hurdles, high jump,
shot put and pole vault will be
take care of today, leaving the
two-mile, low hurdles, half-mile,
and mile relay for Saturday.
Coach Howard Engleman of the Jayhawker cage squad pulled a surprise in the Colorado game by changing the squad into two units and shifting the units around all at once.
On the first unit, generally the starting lineup and the so-called "first string," are Gib Stramel, Charlie Black, Otto Schnellbacher, Owen Peck, Wendell Clark, and Ray Evans.
The second unit consists of six parts freshmen, namely, Harold England, Myron Enns, Claude Houchin, John Dewell, Orbon Tice, and Bill Sapp. Sophomore Jack Eskridge lends added height and ability to the number two unit.

Enns and England are temporarily lost to the squad because of injuries but both will probably be back at full strength after the vacation no-game period of 12 days.
With the duties of coaching weighing heavily, Howard Engleman has withdrawn from city league competition with the Ober's-Legion team, thereby weakening that team considerably.
Other strong teams in the league are composed of present and former K.U. stars, including the top-notch Poehler's, Rexall, and the Blanks aggregations.
Rumor or fact has it that the Law-
rence American Legion team will be an all-star team chosen of city league stars who are members of the Legion.
We'd like to call attention to a strong Legion outfit operating in the south end of the state which has such top men as Frank Groves, 6-foot 7-inch former M. & O. forward, and Phil Moore, 6-foot 6-inch former center for Southwest.
Another "hot rock" on the team is Dick Hatfield, who hasn't had much, if any, college experience, but used to trade baskets on even terms with Gerald Tucker, when that worthy was in high school. Hatfield recently tallied 11 goals as the squad whipped an Oklahoma aggregation.
The team operates from Arkansas City, and while it is a long trip for a team lacking much financial backing, a game between the two squads might draw a fair-sized crowd.
It's worth bearing in mind, especially as the Legion here is dickering for the possibility of the state Legion tournament at Lawrence, and the southern aggregation would be a strong contender.

Jayhawkers Meet Cyclones Tonight In Fourth Try To Win Big Six Game
Two important Big Six games will mark weekend play with Kansas meet second-place Iowa State at 7:30 tonight at Lawrence and undefeated Missouri taking on Oklahoma tomorrow.
Coach Menze stated that he fears tonight's contest with the Jayhawkers, even though the Kansans are firmly embedded in the conference cellar. Menze reasoned that the Jayhawkers are ready to explode and might pick tonight to do it.
Coach Louis Menze starts his Iowa State Cyclones on a make-or-break road trip with Kansas as the first stop. If the Cyclones can win tonight and at Oklahoma Feb. 1, they will definitely be established as a title threat
Coach Howard Engleman of the Jayhawkers is expected to again resort to his "unit system" of substituting with his starters being replaced five at a time. Engleman introduced the system at Boulder last week, and the second unit, though mainly freshmen, displayed itself well.
For the first time this year, Kansas will have a slight height edge with the average of 6 feet 2.3 inches of the Jayhawkers shading the 6 feet 1.3 inches of the Cyclones. The tallest starter will be Don Paulsen, 6-foot 5-inch Iowa State center.
Tomorrow will see the last Big Six chance to knock Missouri within reach of the pursuing teams as the unbeaten Tigers travel to Norman to invade the lair of the Oklahoma Sooners.
The Sooners with two victories and an upset defeat at the hands of Nebraska, are tied with Iowa State, one and a half games behind the pace-setting Missourians.
The game will also mark the last of Kansas' hopes at salvaging a title tie, for a Missouri victory would put the Tigers out of reach of Kansas permanently.
The powerful Sooners, who were upset 41-44 at Lincoln by the Cornhuskers, will rank as slight favorites because of the home court advantage.
Two of the league's top six scorers. Paul County and Gerald Tucker, will show their wares for the Sooners while Dan Pippin and Thornton Jenkins will represent Missouri's share in the first ten. Pippin ranks fourth with 45 points in four games.
Probable starters for tonight's game are:
IOWA STATE
KANSAS
Wehde ... F. Stramet
Myers ... F. Black
Paulsen ... C. Schnellbacher
Norman ... G. Clark
Block ... G. Evans
Coach George Sauer and assistants Bob Ingalls, Vic Bradford, and Wayne Replogle will attend the Big Six coaches meeting today and tomorrow at the Hotel Muehlebach in Kansas City, Mo. Conference rules and selection of officials will be discussed.
A preliminary game will be played at 6 p.m. between two teams chosen from the Kansas "B" squad.
Coaches To Attend Meet
Cowboys, Razorbacks Play Return Game
(By United Press)
The Arkansas Razorbacks will step out of the Southwest conference tonight for a return match with defending national champion Oklahoma A. and M. at Oklahoma City
The Razorbacks, deadlocked with Texas at the top of the Southwest loop, will be seeking to avenge a 38 to 42 setback suffered at the hands of the Cowboys Wednesday night.
Despite four straight conference wins, the Porkers still were not rated in the same class with the fast-breaking Steers of Texas—but a victory tonight over the Aggies, the only team this year to lick Texas, will add fuel to their hopes.
Texas has lost only one game in 15 starts, and boasts victories over Long Island university, DePaul, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Canisius.
Tulsa Coach Accused Of Player 'Piracy'
Wichita Falls. (UP)—Tulsa University was charged today with "piracy" by Thurmon Jones, football coach and athletic director at small Hardin College.
Mr. Jones, who said he was "fighting mad" protested loudly against alleged on-the-campus attempts by Johnny Garrison, Tula assistant coach, to lure three football stars to the Tulsa school.
He said Jimmy Williams, star backfield man from Bowie, had been approached by Mr. Garrison Tuesday night with an "attractive" offer to enroll at the Oklahoma institution.
It was understood that two other Hardin gridders, Lindsey Spillman and David Wyatt, were approached by the Tula斯 assistant mentor.
