UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
JANUARY 16, 1947

Elwyn Dees, former Nebraska trainer who received a black eye as a reward for his troubles in breaking up the fight between Kansas and Nebraska players Tuesday, was formerly a trainer at Kansas.
Kansas Dean Nesmith, present Kansas trainer, served under Dees one year before advancing to his present rank.
Some local fans are deploring the loss of Johnny Bueser, former K.U. quarterback. He wasn't missed during the war, they say, because of the competition, but now the lack of a competent ball-handler out front is beginning to show glaringly.

Gamblers at Madison Square Garden put on a show of their own Tuesday night at the St. Louis-Long Island game. Long Island led by four points with a minute left, and the bookies mobbed the arena screaming for the Blackbirds to stall and protect the three-point odds they had given.
***
- * *
Long Island lost the ball on a poor pass, and St. Louis went down for a goal. The Blackbirds won the ball game, but the gamblers went down hard. The fall was completed when North Carolina upset N.Y.U. in the nightcap, 50-48.
While Charley Trippi, great Georgia athlete, was waiting to decide who would get his services in the pro ranks, he was piling up awards.
Monday, he was presented the Maxwell Memorial Award, naming him as the year's outstanding college football player. He also received a gold cigarette case and a gold miniature football. Previously he had been awarded the Walter Camp trophy.
***
Note that as No. 1 college player, he was given a cigarette case. Training?
Latest rumors from West Point have both Glenn Davis and Doc Blanchard resigning their commissions to play pro football. Blanchard was selected by the Pitt Steelers and Davis was chosen by the Detroit Lions in the recent player draft.
The only fly in the ointment is the second half of the rumor which says that the "Touchdown Twins" refuse to separate.
Bucky Harris of the Yanks is still worrying about "Who's on first?"
The Yankee skipper will have a well-balanced team in other respects, but the initial sack is the same problem it has been ever since the passing of the immortal Lou Gehrig.
The outfield will be all anyone could ask for these days with Joe DiMaggio, Tommy Henrich, and Charley Keller, and the infield will be peopleided with such stalwarts as Jhil Rizuzuto, George Stirnseew, Jim Crowetti, newcomer Bobby Brown, Johnson, and Ray Mack. Hawkins will
Harris will take 15 of his 26 pitchers with him to try and decide on his regular starters.
The only holdovers for the first sack are weak-hitting Johnny Lindell, Nick Etten, and little-used Steve Souchock.
Still, Harris is confident that the Yanks will be back on the pedestal on which they used to rank with monotonous regularity.
Joe Fulks of the Philadelphia Warriors of the pro Basketball Association of America set a new league scoring record of 41 points Tuesday night as his team whipped Toronto, 104-74. Fulks held the previous record at 40.

IM Score Correction

Missouri Risks Conference Lead; K.U. Cagers Idle Until Monday
Missouri will lay her Big Six conference lead on the line this week, risking it to the only other team in the conference which still stands a chance of taking it.
That team is the cage squad from the University of Nebraska. While attention has been focused on undefeated Missouri, and on winless Kansas the Cornhuskers have been quietly
the Cornhuskers have been quietly recuperating from their first loss and now are in second place, one game out of first.
The game will be played Saturday night at Columbia, and a capacity crowd is expected to see the second Tiger home game.
On the other side of the Saturday picture, the Kansas State Wildcats will make their last bid to stay in the conference race as they defend their home court against the Oklahoma Sooners.
Should the Oklahomaans be victorious, the Wildcats will be as far out of the picture as K.U., but if the Aggies win, the way will be open for Missouri to coast into a big lead by downing Nebraska.
Iowa State, pre-season doormat, still has a good chance, but two games next week, with Nebraska and Kansas, will severely test the Cyclone strength.
Kansas, with a gloomy outlook for the season, will take time out Monday to travel to Boulder for a revenge attempt on Colorado U.
The Buffaloes handed Kansas a 52-50 overtime defeat in Kansas City earlier this month, and the Jayhawkers have lost three straight conference games since that time.
After the meeting with the Bisons, the Jayhawkers will return home for games with Iowa State and Kansas State here.
