SPOTLIGHT on SPORTS By BILL SIMS
Bob Kurland, who holds every scoring record in Aggieland basketball history, is interested in going to work for Phillips Petroleum company after he is graduated this spring. Kurland, an education major, is interested in chemistry and wants to join the Phillips chemical department.
Of course, Coach Bud Browning might be able to persuade Kurland to play basketball with his far-famed "66" Oilers if he goes at just the right way.
Kurland will have played in more than 100 games for the Aggies in his four-year career at Stillwater and will have scored nearly 1,500 points. Kurland is expected to end his college basketball career tonight.
A Chicago attorney who promotes basketball as a hobby has started plans for an invitational basketball tournament to be held in Chicago next year.
The attorney, Arthur Morse, said that the tournament will compete with the National Collegiate Athletic association and the National Invitational tournaments. Morse stated that he would bid for the best teams in the nation and that the field probably would comprise eight teams.
Much dissatisfaction has been voiced concerning the manner in which teams are selected for the N.C.A.A. and N.I.T. playoffs. Morse probably was prompted by this dissatisfaction to decide to conduct the Chicago tournament.
Morse conducted seven doubleheaders this season in the Chicago stadium which drew an average of 16.750 fans each night. He believes that the new tournament will draw more patrons and be a big success.
Many persons believe that the N.C.A.A. and N.I.T. champions will not play a game to determine the national champion this year. The N.C.A.A. officials were more or less forced into sending the N.C.A.A. representative to the playoff game for charity's cause, but they were never very enthusiastic about it.
There will be four big basketball tournaments next year including the new Chicago tournament, the N.C. A.A., the N.I.T., and the N.A.I.B. Of course, the N.A.I.B. tournament is held for smaller schools, but some of the champions from this tourney could have beaten some of the big schools in former years.
it seems to me that some arrangement could be made for a grand national playoff tournament among the champions of these four tournaments to decide the national championship. It would certainly be a much more representative way to choose a national champion than the way it is now done. But perhaps some of the tournament officials would be afraid that their tournament might lose face if their representative lost.

With St. Patrick's Day yesterday it was inevitable that certain parties would see to it that Jimmy would appear bright and early on the Irish holiday with a new green suit.
The weather was uncooperative, however, and by noon yesterday, light showers had changed Uncle Jimmy's bright green suit to a 3-inch pin striped affair.

to stop the Aggies. The Jayhawkers captured their 12th Big Six championship this year, eight of which have been undisputed claims. For the third time in Jayhawker history Allen guided his charges to a perfect Big Six conference record. Only one other team has ever been undefeated in Big Six play. Oklahoma accomplished this feat in 1929, the year the Big Six conference was organized.
The Aggies claim 27 victories and two defeats to rank high on the list of the nation's best fives. Only De Paul and Bowling Green were able to stop the Aggies this season.

Schneider, billhiller, husky All Big Six ace is the personification of the adage, "An apple a day"—except that he puts them away by the bushel.
Guard Gene Barr of the crew-cut is a gum addict and always insists on wearing his wedding ring.
Jack Ballard, the squad comedy relief man, does a mixed version of Lil' Abner and Diet Smith, calling Black's shots the "real hammus alabamas" and ending every sentence with "Burpl!"
Team members are thinking of taping Assistant Coach John Pfitsch to the bench, because he leaps so suddenly to his feet so often.
Wendell Clark, the squad's lone navy man, looks like a wild horse ready to stampede when on the court. And, Piftsch volunteers, "He really is ready to stampede tonight!"
Popular trainer Dean Nesmith makes more noise than the cheering section with his noisy "cussing" of the team or vell of "Yah-hoo" at each K.U. score.
Any way you look at them, individually or collectively, they're the Big Six champs—and they're out to take the Aggies tonight!

Howard was chosen to be captain of the 1940 NCAA all-star team. In 1941, his last year of competition, he was conference high scorer with a sizzling 16.5 point average per game.
Howard "Rope" Engleman came to the University in 1937 from Arkansas City with a reputation for hitting the hoop. In his sophomore season, he topped the long-standing one-game scoring record held by Coach Allen himself, by getting 27 points against Oklahoma.
Following graduation in 1941, he went to work for the Phillips company of Bartlesville, and on the side played basketball with the independent Phillips Oilers. With the war came a navy commission and sea duty. Howard saw action in Philippine waters and was wounded in one particular piece of trouble off Oki-pawa.
Now he's back at a study table, and instead of petroleum processing or manning the ship's watch it's general statutes and supreme courts he's considering.

Maybe basketball players change. Maybe they aren't as good as they used to be, maybe they're better. There wasn't anyone named Kurland around for the 1940 playoffs, but "Cab" Renick of the Oklahoma Aggies, Jimmy McNatt of Oklahoma, and Ralph Vaughan of Southern Cal were no slouches.
