Cagers Take Scrapping Olathe Team, 65-61
The Jayhawker quintet will face its first real test tomorrow night in Kansas City when it meets Rock-hurst, the underdog team that made its debut Saturday with a 32-31 victory over Kansas State.
Three field goals in the last four minutes of play changed a tie game with the Olathe Naval Air Station to a 65-61 victory for the Jayhawker cagers here Friday night.
Gib Stramel, the 18-year-old kid from Hays via Washburn, was high point man from Kansas with 25 points to his credit. Gene Barr, lusky guard from El Dorado Junior college, was runner-up with 10 points and Maurice Martin, fighting freshman from Topeka, scored eight points.
This was the second non-conference victory for the Jayhawkers and the second defeat out of four games played by the Clippers. The Clippers previously had won from St. Benedict's, 30-29, lost the Edrow Furnace tilt in Kansas City, 55-57, and won from De Spain Motors, 70-27.
Stramel started the scoring for the Jayhawkers with six field goals, half his total, in the first five minutes of play.
At the half, the Jayhawkers led the Clippers by a good 40-25 margin. Daum, displaying his abilities at grabbing rebounds during the first half, helped to keep the Clippers' score low.
Lient, Walt Herkal, coach for the navy team, also claimed a guard position in the starting lineup. This was probably the only time a basketball coach lined up with his players on the court against the fajhwackers.
Starting the second half, the Hawkers were weak on rebounds, and Olathe mounted points almost without interference. They remained a close four points behind the Jaya-hawkers most of the second period, and forced the Hawkers to a real battle before the victory.
Gene Anderson, freshman forward who scored seven points during the entire game, pulled a "wrong-way Corrigan" act and dropped a ball in the Olathe basket five minutes before the game was up. The goal did not count for the Clippers, however, because the ball had been passed in from out-of-bounds across the center line before being played.
Hal Lille, little Clipper forward from Santa Ana Junior college, tied the game 58-58 with only 41⁄2 minutes remaining in the fight for victory.
Anderson returned to make up for his previous error by breaking the tie in 30 seconds, this time with a Jayhawker goal, to make the scoreboard read 60-58. Wendell Clark, the conscientious V-12 transfer from Denison, added his only field goal of the evening with a setup from Darr to bring the score to 62-58.
With 90 seconds to go, Maurice Martin hit another field goal and Clark tossed another free point
K.U. Forwards Perform at Home
Owen Peck and John Kanas, forwards on the University basketball squad, performed before a home-town audience when the Jayhawker squad visited Kansas City Saturday to demonstrate basketbal foundationals and techniques in the first December clinic.
The two forwards were first string performers on the 1942 runner-up state championship team at Wyndotte high school. Kansas saw a year with the marine air corps before enrolling at K.U.

Often the club is divided into two teams who compete in a card chase. A deck of playing cards, one for each team, is tacked to trees and post, and the cards are picked up in order. Each card points the way to the next one. The two groups race to be the first to return to the starting point with a full deck of cards.
Although no hunting has been done yet, plans are being made for a rabbit hunt as soon as hounds can be found. These Spur club members even play basketball on horseback!
The biggest trip of the year will be made next spring if possible. The club intends to trace the trail Quantrill made when he raided Lawrence. The riders will begin at Lawrence and follow the trail in reverse, as it goes through Olathe, Baldwin, and on into Missouri. It will be a three-day ride, and the horses will be shipped back on the return trip.

Charlie Comes Marching Home To Resume His Court Career
Who is this guy Black? All-American cager in 1942 when he was just a sophomore, high point man in the Jayhawker quintet, a member of the famous "Tron Five," and a captain in the ary air corps. But what else about him?
Charlie is the six-foot-four-and-one-half inch giant forward who strolls down the basketball court with the same easy gait he walks to class every day.
Observers have called his playing "sloppy" since he first entered the Jayhawk grounds, yet Black had the best game average in 1943-206 points in 18 games or an average of 11.4 points a game.
Château's sophomore year with the "Iron Five," 1942, was so exceptional that he was named All-American. Pneumonia kept him on the sidelines much of his junior year.
Whether lack of leg exercise during the past two years will hinder his progress on the court in a similar fashion remains to be seen. "I'm not worried about them," says Charlie. "Except for a slight touch of flu, I feel fine."
Black's playing is very carefree, but there isn't a minute that his sharp brown eyes aren't following the ball. He is almost a "never miss" rebounder.
Although he was ill he still made a Big Six record of 33 points on the local court against Missouri on Jan. 5, 1943. This was the highest number of points in one game since Jimmy McNatt of Oklahoma scored 30 points in 1940.
Later Gerald Tucker, Oklahoma center, broke Charlie's individual record by collecting 38 points against Nebraska in Norman, March. 1943.
Sports activity in Charlie's life goes back to high school days when he attended Highland Park high school in Topeka There, he lettered two years in football, three years in track, and three years in basketball.
Charlie graduated from Southwest High school in Kansas City Mo., although he was originally a product of the Sunflower state. Southwest didn't know what they were missing
when they ruled him ineligible for sports participation because he had changed schools.
His first year in college was at Wisconsin university but when his family moved to Lawrence his logical choice for a school was the University of Kansas. From the time he enrolled, Black has made his own chapter in the sports history of K.U.
The army air corps called Charlie along with other members of the "Iron Five" in March, 1943. For more than a year he received training at Kerns Field, Utah, the Utah State Agricultural college, Santa Ana, Calif., Blythe, Calif., La Junta, Colo., Oklahoma City, Okla., and Coffeyville Kan.
In September, 1944. Lt. Charles Black was sent to Italy. During a 10-month tenure there, he completed 51 missions as a photo reconnaissance pilot and returned to the United States last June.
Charlie, who was 24 in June, is now a senior majoring in physical known as "Daddy" Black, father of education. He'd just as soon be Sheryl Lee, who is a blue-eyed, blond-haired "Punkin" just nine months old.
Charlie and Terry Morgan Black, a student in 1939 and a member of Alpha Omicron Pi, celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary Oct. 8
Detroit. (UP)—The United Automobile workers union (CIO) proposed today that its members be made financially responsible for unauthorized strikes against the Ford motor company through deductions from their pay.
