UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS
FEBRUARY 19.1946
Meet Your Team. The big guy wearing number 21, who netted 14 points in the wind-up of the Nebraska game and whose last bucket boosted the Jayhawkers to a new Big Six scoring record, is genial Gene Peterson of Millard, Nebraska.
A sophomore pre-medical student, Gene is the tallest cager to wear the red and blue since Al Wellhausen back in 1937. Both measure 6 feet 7 inches. The 18-year-old Nebraska was a record-breaker in high school, hitting 42 points in a single game and averaging 25 per game during his senior year. Last season, as a freshman with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, he was second high scorer in the Big Six.
He's happy about the transfer from Lincoln to Lawrence, and says he likes the University "very much." As for the women of the campus, all Pete will say is, "I don't like blondes very well," but concerning his dinner table favorite he's more positive. The towering 215-pounder says, with a hint of a blush, "strawberries."
From the early minutes of the game, when he went scooting down the free throw lane to count two
points, until he went out with a minor injury in the second half, Owen "The Voice" Peek sparked the Jayhawker at the Jayhawker position in their record-breaking performance against the Huskers Friday night. A letterman forward during the 1945
season, 20-year-old Owen is noted for his fiery, scrappy brand of basketsal as wel as for his stratospheric vocal cords. He attended Wyandotte High school in the old home town of Kansas City.
From all indications, he enjoys himself at least 99 per cent of the time. He's a College junior, and statistics say 5 feet 9 inches and a solid 170 pounds. Favorite dish—yeah, man—apple dumplings.

Chicago. (UP)—Willie Lee Perry, 20, a Negro amateur fighter, died in the ring last night while 1,000 spectators looked on.
Amateur Boxer Dies After Bout
Perry was battered about the ring in the first round of his amateur bout with Howard Schwan, 22, a sailor stationed at Great Lakes, Ili. He apparently was saved by the bell from a knockout.
In 25 seconds of the second round he went down from a right to the body.
An inhalator squad was called after Perry's handlers were unable to revive him. He was pronounced dead a few minutes later.

Swarthout to Detroit For Music Meeting
Dean D. M. Swarthout, head of the School of Fine Arts, will act as toastmaster at the joint banquet of the Music Teachers National association and the National Association of Schools of Music, in Detroit Thursday.

Music Students Need Practice Pianos
Other K.U. staff members attending are Prof. Waldemar Gelch, who will head a violin forum Saturday, and E. Thayer Gaston, associate professor of music education.
Former University persons attending the meeting include Melvin H. Geist, graduate in voice, now a faculty member at Williamette university, Portland, Ore.; Roy Underwood, former K.U. music faculty member, president of the Michigan Music Teachers association; W. Otto Meissner, former director of K.U. public school music; Karl Krueger, K.U. graduate, now directing the Detroit symphony orchestra.
All that money you put into that new piano for Junior to practice on won't be wasted after all.
Because of the increased enrollment in music in the School of Fine Arts, it is difficult to find practice for students in piano and organ.
Dean D. M. Swarthout has requested that city persons willing to rent practice time on a piano in their home call the Fine Arts office at their earliest opportunity.
Certain churches of the city have offered practice time on organs.
Plans are being made to expand practice room facilities by the erection soon of additional rooms in the gallery level of Hoch auditorium.
Three new proctors, Grace Piros,
Rosalie Erwin, and Alamada Bollier,
were appointed Thursday at a
meeting of about 183 new enrollees
