Texas U., paced by Long John Hargis, continues to be one of the major powers in the country as the Longhorns roll easily on through the ranks of the Southwest conference.
The Steers' last victory was a 67-53 conquest of the Rice Owls and was the 13th in 14 starts for the high-riding Texans. The only loss of the year was to the Oklahoma Aggies at Oklahoma City and that was a mere 40-39 edging.
The Longhorns now share first place in the conference with Arkansas, also undefeated in league play, but the dopesters refuse to consider the skyscraping Razorbacks as any kind of contender.
Another 67-53 victory put the Southern Methodist Mustangs back in the title fight as the Ponies dumped Baylor out of any reasonable chance.
The Mustangs' only loss was to Texas, but that was a 20-point humbling, 56-36, with Hargis scoring 30 tallies for Texas. The amount of competition to be expected from Arkansas will be somewhat measured this week when the Hogs play a two-game series with Oklahoma A. & M., the only victor over Texas.

Bill Dickey has signed as player-manager of the Little Rock Travelers of the Southern Association, merely because he wants to play ball at home. He passed up several possible major league offers to stay with his home-town club.

Colorado led at the half, 31-28, and went on to pile up a lead on field goals, but the Jayhawkers sank 24 out, two fores tosses to stay in the ball game.

Vic Mature Bemoans Passing Of Days When Knights Were Gay

These days, he moaned, women were more likely to come to his rescue.

Hollywood. (UP)—Registering a hit with today's cutie isn't the cinch it was in the days before the war. Since then, girls have learned they don't need a man to get a door open.
Victor Mature bemoans the passing of the old days. Used to be a guy could win a girl's favor with those little Emily Post's attentions. But now it takes time, thought and an independent fortune. Even for a gorgeous hunk of man like Mature
"Women were so delightfully helpless a guy could be a big shot 50 times a day without even trying," he exulted. "Like when Clementine arrives in Tombstone. No hotel clerk, no bell-boys. Does she hang her bister on the desk and shout for service? She does not. She hovers around like a stricken fawn until Wyatt Earp comes to her rescue."
He remembers when he could show his regard for a girl by being concerned and attentive about helping her up and down curbs or across treacherous doorsills. And while he doesn't remember personally, he learned in making "My Darling Clementine" at 20th Century-Fox that that period was an all-time high for men.
"Girls came out of the war with an entirely new slant on things," he said indignantly, "I used to be able to establish myself with a cute number with a few well-turned compliments. But now when I turn on anything that smells like a line they classify me with the old-timers and buddy-dudys."
"Try her now,' she sings out, and sure enough, everything's okay. Then I find out she knows how to take the whole darn car apart and put it together again. Believe me, it was the first time I ever dated an auto mechanic."
wrong with my engine—something really wrong, I mean. I was looking for my auto-club card, but she hopped out, upped the hood and tinkered a bit.
"Otherwise, they think you have a line, and that puts you in the wrong category—old hat. You have to give it a lot of thought, and if you repeat you get called. 'You sound like a broken record.'"
We wanted to know where expense came in, outside of prices which make a dinner invitation take on the aspect of a payment on the car.
Vic said a swain these days had to go through a careful buildup before he laid down a big barrage of compliments.
"Well, you find out fast your best way to register a quick hit is a chunk of orchids. Of course, that went over before the war, too. I sure envy those guys who could cut a rose out of mother's front garden, buy a box of chocolates at the drug-store and get an evening in the porch swing in return."
K.U. Grad To Cuba On Basketball Tour
John W. Dunn, former basketball coach at Stanford university and now basketball coach and athletic director at Springfield (Mass.) college, will take his quintet on an exhibition tour through Cuba this spring.
The purpose of his trip will be to give Cuban teams an idea of American basketball and to help them improve their style of play.
Bunn went to Springfield with more than 20 years of coaching experience. After nine years at Kansas, he went to Stanford in 1930 where his teams won three Pacific Coast championships. He developed many stars, including All American Hank卢伊斯i
Bunn graduated from KU. in 1921 with 10 varsity athletic letters in football, basketball, and baseball.
Strike-Out King Feller Signs With Cleveland
Cleveland. (UP) - Fireball Bob Feller, baseball's strikeout king, today signed a 1947 contract with the Cleveland Indians that probably will make him the highest paid player in the game's history.
Terms of the contract were not revealed, but it was believed Rapid Robert's basic salary for the coming season plus a bonus on attendance would boost him above the record $80,000 yearly collected by Babe Ruth in 1930-31.
Feller reportedly received a straight salary of $50,000 last year plus $22,000 in bonuses and President Bill Veeck of the Indians agreed recently that the one-time Iowa farm boy was worth more.
The 27-year old hurler who rejoined the Indians in 1945 after three and one half years in the Navy with his pitching skill undiminished, broke Rube Waddell's 42-year-old strikeout record last year. Bob whiffed 348 batters to better Waddell's mark by five.
If attendance totals are as great in 1947 as anticipated, and Feller's other earnings materialize, he can easily hit the $100,000 mark he was expected to reach last year.
"I'm confident the Indians will be popular this year," Feller said in agreeing to the bonus contract.
Le Scur, Minn. (UP)—Edward B. Cosgrove, president of the Minnesota Valley Canning company says foods can be preserved commercially by using radio-active salts. But the cost is prohibitive. For example, a can of peas would cost $3,000.
