UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS
DECEMBER 10.1946
By BOB DELLINGER
(Daily Kansan Sports Editor)
Ray Evans, Jayhawker grid captain and an all-time K.U. sports star, was considered by Grantland Rice in the choice of his Collier's all-American.
Evans was listed among nine top half-backs and was described by Rice as "one of the best in the country."
Of course, we Kansas fans knew it all the time, but when "Granry"—dean of the sportswriters—says it, then it's really official.
Evans had previously been named on the Associated Press all-American third team.
Incidentally, Rice solved the Lujack-Tucker problem by naming both to the first team, creating a twelve-man squad.
Little Ben Hogan, the "mighty atom," was the heavy winner among pro golfers this year. Ben's total of $42,556.16 is far above that of Herman Barron who finished with a $23,003.32 gross.
Cincinnati has accepted a bid to the Sun Bowl, an offer previously turned down by the Jayhawkers. The opponents will be V.P.I.
Byron Nelson, who has played little golf since mid-season, was third with $22,270.43.

We had the privilege of watching the Jayhawkers ring up a couple of wins at Emporia Saturday night. While the margin of victory wasn't quite what we'd have liked, the results were satisfying.
Coach Fish's boys apparently had orders to rough it up as much as possible. This kind of play helped to keep the score down, but lost three starters for the Emporia team on foul.
Another handicap to the Kansans was the slippery floor. The Jayhawkers' fast-break offense could operate at full speed only with dangerous possibilities. The slow post system used by the Hornets wasn't greatly affected.
Orchids to:
Ray Evans, veteran guard, who played a fine floor game and made few, if any, mistakes. It doesn't seem to us that Ray is having too much trouble converting from football.
Charley Black, all-American forward, who was repeatedly fouled, but whose rebound effectiveness and heads-up play couldn't be stopped as he walked off with scoring honors.
Bill Sapp, freshman guard, whose calm, steady play was a major factor in staving off Emporia rallies, and who contributed five points to the cause himself.
Army To Produce Comet
At White Sands Dec. 17
Washington (UP)—A white come, with a tail of flame 100 feet long will streak across the sky above White Sands, N.M., at 11 p.m. Dec. 17.
The comet will be produced by army ordnance men in connection with the first night firing of one of the V-2 rockets captured from the Germans.
The comet rocket will travel at a speed of approximately 3,500 miles per hour when it lets off its meteor shower at heights of from five to 40 miles.
None of the meteors is expected to reach the earth.
Phi Psi's Shade Rexall, 34-32; Most Other IM Tilts One-Sided
Phi Kappa Psi was pushed all the way in edging out the Rexall five by a score of 34 to 32. Penny, Rexall guard, took scoring honors for the game with 11 points. Richardson patted for the victory.
Phi Delta Theta defeated the 1037 Club, 54 to 22. Harris rang up 14 points for the Phi Delts.
Beta Theta Pi bested the K. C.
Club, 43 to 15. Chase hit the net
for 15 points to pace the Betas.
Phi Gamma Delta rode over Der Funf to the tune of 42 to 17. Hargiss led the scoring parade for the Phi Gams with 14 markers.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon was victorious over Nu Sigma Nu, 51 to 17. Ocamb sank 15 points to lead Sig Alph scoring.
Sigma Chi handed the Wolf Pack a 53 to 28 loss. Connelly topped the scoring for the Sigma Chi's with 17 points.
The Indepesi's gained 49 to 40 victory over the 941 Club. Jakobe hit the nets for 16 scores to pace the winners.
Tau Kappa Epsilon outscored the Normans by a 26 to 12 total. Crowley paced Teke point-making with 9 scores.
Women Detectives Train In England
London. (UP)—Since there is no Sherlock Holmes around to clear up current crime mysteries, English police authorities have resorted to new methods in an effort to check the postwar crime wave.
One method calls upon attractive young women to train in the Criminal Investigation Department college for employment as qualified "plain clothes" detectives, sniffing out crime in the English provinces. "Plain clothes" is a deceptive term, since these female crime-chasers, who receive the same pay as police women, will get a special clothing allowance, with coupons. Clothing coupons are as valuable as gold in rationed England.
Twenty-one English girls already have entered the C.I.D. college, with dozens to follow. Before entering the college, the future girl detectives must serve an apprenticeship as a uniformed "flatfoot" helping old ladies cross roads and protecting school children.
English women, sheltered by a parlor-bedroom- and kitchen existence before the war, stepped into thousands of man-sized jobs during the war and many are now regretting retirement to the kitchen. Female London bus conductors in particular are annoyed by the company's ruling which returns pre-war jobs to returning servicemen and bars women as ticket collectors.
Dallas, Tex., (UP)—A disappointing inventory was in store today for two women who took their male companion's car during a Dallas night club party last night—unless they own a horse or intend to become blacksmiths.
If The Horse Replaces The Auto, They're Fixed
Stored in the car was 200 pounds of horse shoes, an anvil, a blacksmith hammer, punch, slack tub and bellows.
They still have possession of the car, however.
There Was A Method To His Madness
Y
New Orleans, (UP)—Timmie Slater was downtown to keep a dentist's appointment when he saw a line of women at store counter. Immediately he knew the answer—nylons!
Timmie was broke, as 13-year-olds often are, but he knew his mother would love those nylons. So he stood in line until his turn came.
Then he borrowed the needed $1.44* from the salesgirl.

More Babies Create Clothing Problems
Chicago. (UP)—A medical statistician says clothing manufacturers in the future will have to "make adjustments" for the high, narrow hump World War II babies put in the nation's population chart.
This war gave the nation's birth rate "the sharpest rise in its recorded history," Dr. A.W. Hedrick, chief of Maryland state health department's bureau of vital statistics, told the Chicago City club.
"Nurseries and manufacturers of infant wear already have felt the impact and kindergartens are just beginning to feel it," he said. "This rising wave of population will pass into the higher grades year by year, creating a corresponding wave of needs for facilities, clothing and teaching personnel."
He said returning servicemen might boost the birth rate again in late 1946 and 1947, but that eventually it is expected to resume its long-time decline. For this reason, Hedrick said, governmental agencies and manufacturers should plan added facilities and production "on a flexible basis."
The fanciest snowflakes are formed in relatively high temperatures.
