By BOB DELLINGER (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
The Big Six race isn't quite such a runaway as the standings seem to show.
For instance, the first-place Missouri Tigers defeated fifth-place Kansas State by one point and sixth-place Kansas by a mere five.
Second-place Nebraska lost to fifth-place K-State by nine points, and just edged the Jayhawkers by two. And after Iowa State, 11-point victims of Missouri, had whipped the Kansas Aggies by the same margin, the Tigers had to go into overtime to get by at Manhattan.
Another odd point in the standings is put up by the only two teams in the league which have an even split in two games, Iowa State and Oklahoma. Each has won one and lost one and each has scored the same number of points as have its opponents.
***
League-leading Missouri has the poorest offense in the league and has only outscored its opponents 17 points in three games. Kansas, which hasn't won yet, trails opponents only 10 points in total score.
We've heard now that Elwyn Dees didn't get into the center of the battle to get his black eye, but received it from one of the fans.
Four or five different versions of the Black-Loisel fracas are spreading around the campus, with only minor details being the varying factor.
As the crowd surged onto the floor, one of the fans mistook Bees for a Kansas man, and attacked him, or so the story goes. Friends of the Husker trainer immediately bore the assailant to the floor, but the police intervened before he could be badly hurt.

holds the proper free throw record for
the conference thus far. Pippin
has toed the line nine times this
year, and has scored nine times.

Speaking of free throws, it's hard to believe that Charlie Black, habitually the target of opponents' attacks, on the court and off, should escape unscathed from the Nebraska game (playing time, that is) without having been fouled once.
Jeff Heath, habitual holdout of the Cleveland Indians, is the first St. Louis Brown to get his contract signed this year. Maybe he's turned over a new leaf.
Over in Philly, Manager Herb Pennock of the Phils is having trouble getting his star outfielder, Del Ennis, to sign on the dotted line tor.
University High Eagles Play Linwood Tonight
The University High Eagles will travel to Linwood tonight for their ninth game of the season and their fifth conference start.
A victory for the U.H.S. aggregation would pull them out of the league cellar and into a tie with Linwood. The Eagles lost the previous encounter with Linwood, 19-21
The two "B" squads will play a preliminary game.
Extension Division Offers Labor Class
To promote better understanding in labor-management relations the University extension division and the Topeka Night school will present a course on "Labor Relations" beginning Feb. 6. Five weekly sessions will be held Thursday nights at the Topeka High school.
Representatives of labor and management will present their ideas on labor-management cooperation in production, union-management responsibility in labor relations, the structure and functions of unions, and amendment of the national labor relations act.
'Phog Allen Will Rest In California
DR. F. C. ALLEN
☆ ☆
For the first time in 36 years, "Phog" Allen is getting a rest. Released from the University hospitals Tuesday after a checkup, Dr. Allen has been granted an indefinite leave of absence by E. C. Quigley, athletic director. He will leave for LaJolla, Calif, as soon as he can get reservations.
His sojourn on the Pacific beach represents the only time that his health has interfered with an active career. Prior to his recent checkup, he had never been in the hospital in his 61 years.
Dr. Allen can lean back in his beach chair and look over a 38-year career as a college basketball coach that has set him up as the dean of American court tutors.
His basketball teams have amassed 623 victories against only 149 losses. In addition to taking 12 Big Six conference crowns in the 18 years the league has been alive, Dr. Allen bagged seven pennants at Warrensburg and eight more for K.U. in the old Missouri Valley conference.
In all his years in basketball. Dr.
Allen ahs coached only one last
place club. His Big Six teams have
finished below second only three
times.
Allen's coaching tactics are just about the same today as they were when his first K. U. team boomed to the Missouri Valley title in 1908. He turns out strict fundamentalists, careful ball-handlers, resourceful attackers, and players with great spirit.
Among the hardwood greats Allen has sent from K. U. are Tuss Ackerman, Dutch Lonberg, Tommy Johnson, Lefty Sproull, Paul Endacott, Frosty Cox, Ted O'Leary, Bill Johnson, Ray Ebbing, Freal Pralle, Howard Engleman, Ralph Miller, Johnny Buescher, Charlie Black, and Ray Evans.
Allen was one of the founders of the National Coaches association, has served several seasons on the National Rules committee, and was instrumental in founding the National Collegiate Athletic association basketball tournament.
One of his prime accomplishments was an almost single-handed effort in landing basketball its first position in the 1936 Olympic games at Berlin.
Was Allen popular? Just ask any one of those players and they'll answer. "He was the greatest coach who ever lived."
Dr. Allen, who gets the "Dr." because he is a registered osteopath, gets the "Phop" because he was once a basketball official with a "fog-horn" voice. A Daily Kansan sports writer changed the spelling.
An Allen campaign that has brought him national recognition is the still-breaking effort to raise the baskets another two feet to cut down the advantages of tall men. He was also a leading supporter of the
Dr. Allen's two widely-circulated books, "My Basketball Bible" and "Better Basketball," are still used as textbooks in physical education courses throughout the nation.
"lima-bean" style backboard.
Famous coaches who were once direct pupils of "Phog" are Dutch Lenberg at Northwestern, Frosty Cox at Colorado, Louis Menze at Iowa State, and Adolph Rupp at Kentucky.
Right up to the time of his head injury last October, Dr. Allen still donned a full warmup suit and went through all the rigors of training with his men.
At 61, he still looks like a man of 40.
Doctors said they couldn't find anything "that a good rest wouldn't cure," and advised that he leave the Kansas climate for warmer regions to the south.
"California sunshine," say Kansas basketball fens, "do your stuff."
