UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
JANUARY 15,1947
By BOB DELLINGER (Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
The Missouri Tigers, currently leading The Big Six by one full game, are just about out of sight so far as the last-place Jayhawkers are concerned.
Kansas, with three consecutive losses on the slate will have only a prayer toward the title if it wins all the remaining Big Six games, a feat which is possible but not probable under the present circumstances of college basketball.
**
Other college scores Tuesday night brought more upsets over the country.
North Carolina edged highly-favored New York university in Madison Square Garden after St. Louis had dropped the opener to L.I.U. by two points.
Western Michigan rolled up 80 points against Hope, and Notre Dame did the same in its contest.
***
Attention may be called to the fact that of Kansas' last four defeats, two of them have been by two points, one by three points, and the other by only five points.
Another noteworthy item is the fact that Kansas has lost the last two games after leading at the half, 29-20.
军 兵 部
As the National Boxing association issued quarterly ratings, it offered the suggestion that 33-year-old Fritzie Zivic hang up his gloves for good because he is "working serious harm on the sport by his unsatisfactory performances."
Joe Louis is listed all alone as the top heavyweight, and Sugar Ray Robinson of the welterweight class is given the same distinction.
The ratings list no "logical contenders" for the title of heavyweight champion and none for the welterweight crown. There are five listed for Tony Zale's middleweight championship, including Rocky Graziano.
Contenders for Gus Lesnevic'hich light-heavy title are Ezzard Charles, Billy Fox, Billy Smith, and Archie Moore. Middleweight champ Tony Zale can fear Lake Jamette, Marcel Cerdan, Charley Burley, Rocky Graziano, and Georgia Abrams.
Kui Kong Young, The Medina, and Manuel Ortiz are after Harold Dade's bantamweight championship, which Ortiz once held.
Only Bob Montgomery and Johnny Bratton threaten Ike Williams' lightweight crown, and Willie Pep may steer shy of Phil Terranova and Carlos Chavez if he intends to keep his featherweight title unscathed.
Jackie Patterson, flyweight champ may have to defend his honors against Rinty Monoghan, Dado Marino, and Jimmy Gill.
Williams Will Report On National Convention
Charlery Williams, secretary of Phi Alpha Theta, national honorary history fraternity, will report on her trip to New York during Christmas vacation, where she was a delegate to the national convention, at a meeting at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the Union building.
Plans for the coming spring initiation of new members will be discussed. All persons interested in history are invited.
'Blessing' Costs $18
Lawrence, Mass. (UP)—As 74-year-old Israel Ouellette of Methuen walked along the street here, an automobile drew alongside him and a sweet-faced, white haired woman stepped out.
She identified herself as a missionary and said if he weren't feeling well, perhaps she could help with a blessing.
"Could feel better—a little stiff and lame today." Ouelette acknowledged. Whereupon his benefactress placed her hands on him and performed her little rite which, he later discovered, included lifting his wallet with $18.
Free Throws Give Cornhuskers Two-Point Victory Over Jayhawkers
Nebraska's Cornhuskers handed the Kansas cage squad its third consecutive conference defeat Tuesday night, as two free throws gave the Huskers a 48-46 victory on their home court. Both teams scored 16 goals, but Nebraska took advantage of five extra Kansas fouls to dump in the winning margin on free tosses.
A record crowd of 6,000 attended the battle, and part of it had to be herded from the court by police after a brief fight near the end of the game.
Kansas spurted near the end of the first half, and led 29-20 at the intermission, but the Huskers tied up the game midway through the final period. The score was tied at 40-40, 41-41, and 43-43 before Nebraska went ahead on a shot by Loisel which was allowed when Black touched the basket.
Otto Schnellbacher, lanky Jayhawkower center, walked off with scoring honors for the night's play by caging six goals and ten freees for a 22-point total. Claude Retherford headed the Nebraska squad with 18 tallies.

Yanks Expect Trippi To Sign Contract
New York. (UP)—Twenty-four hours after combining New York's baseball and football Yankees into a single three-way partnership, Yankee officials expected today to sign All-American halfback Charley Trippi of Georgia to a joint football baseball contract.
President Dan Topping of the football Yankees said Trippi's success in pro football was assured. President Larry MacPhail of the baseball Yankees said his baseball future was "problematical, but he has a chance to make good in the majors."
Despite the furious bidding by both baseball and pro football clubs, the much-sought Tripii was expected to sign with the Yankees because of the double-barreled opportunity to cash in quickly on his collegiate football reputation and further his dream of becoming a major league baseball star.
Topping, associated with MacPhail and Del Webb in ownership of the baseball Yankees, admitted both Webb and MacPhail into full partnership in his football Yankees yesterday.
With both clubs officially in one family, Yankee officials hoped Trippi would pass up all other offers, including attractive overtures from the Boston Red Sox and the Atlanta Crackers of the Southern association.
