UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
DECEMBER 4,1945
Judging from the starting lineup of the basketball team last night, with a height average of 6 feet 1 inch, "Doc" Allen is not going to depend on his young giants to win court encounters.
Charlie Black was the tallest man at 6 feet $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches and Dean Corder was the smallest at 5 feet 10 inches. Speed, ball handling and finesse will continue to be of prime importance in the Jayhawker field.
The Tiger players who made the selections placed four Kansas stars in the limelight, while Oklahoma and Iowa State received three places each and Nebraska one.
"In the huddle" again is the football team—this time over juicy T-bones through the courtesy of "Murphy" of Bricks.
Before the Washburn game this fall, "Murph" casually mentioned to Dick Bertuzzi that he would supply steaks to the entire team if the Jayhawkers made the Ichabods regret the game by 30 points or more. The score was 34-0. Consequently—the steak party supreme tonight.
Bringing the pigskin into the picture again—the Kansas Jayhawks received first place honors on the Big Six champion Missouri Tigers' All-Opponent football team for 1945.
"Little" George Gear and Dick Bertuzzi, freshmen, were placed in the backfield, Dave Schmidt, honorary captain of the team, was slated for the end slot, and Wayne Hird received the center pivot position.
Other members of the All-Opponent team include Aubrey McCall, Oklahoma end; Tom Tallchief, Oklahoma tackle; Dick Cole, Iowa State tackle; Thurman Tigart, Oklahoma guard; Fred Lorenz, Nebraska guard; Gene Phelps, Iowa State left half, and Dick Howard, Iowa State fullback.
Wichita. (UP)—The second federal grand jury to be called here in six months was recessed until Dec. 17, yesterday after returning indicments against four persons in the closing session.
Grand Jury Indicts Four in Last Session
Two former Wichita nightclub operators, Ralph Polk and Joe Lassalle, were indicted on charges of conspiring to injure Alvin (Bob) Brunch, another nightclub operator, and prevent Brunch from attending federal court as a government witness.
Brunch was shot Oct. 25, and thrown into the Arkansas river. He recovered, and named Polk and La-Salle as his assailants. Both men were released after making $50,000 bond each.
Other indictments were against E. P. Bargainer of Wichita, charged with violation of the national stolen property act and Gone L. Hutchinson, Flint Mich., charged with transporting a nolien car from Phoenix, Ariz. to Wichita.
High Cost of Driving A Postwar Plaque
Chicago. (UP) — This country "is paying an inflationary price in human life for the privilege of indulging in a postwar traffic spree," the National Safety council warned today, citing a rapidly increasing traffic death toll.
Traffic accidents are "getting out of control," it said.
The council reported that traffic deaths throughout the nation went up 53 per cent in October over the same month a year ago and said that the toll for the first 10 months of the year was 14 per cent higher than in 1944.
Jayhawks Take Mules,45-28
The 1946 version of the Jayhawker quintet opened the season last night with an easy 45-28 victory over the Warrensburg Mules in Hoch auditorium.
Gus Daum, reserve letterman from last year, led the victorious Jayhawkers with 11 points to his credit, five field goals and one extra free-throw point.
Runners-up in points were Charlie Black, former All-American in 1943 and captain of last night's game, and Gib Stramel, husky V-12 trainee from Washburn, and Gene Barr, who played both guard and forward, with seven points for each: Sellman, high point man for the Mules, also tallied seven points.
The starting five for Kansas which included Black, Stramel, Dean Corder, Daum, and Wendell Clark, played the entire first half with no substitutions. The Jayhawkers displayed roughness in passing, which resulted in several lost scores. Daum, a big, husky fellow, saved the game by his outstanding playing.
Observers saw a slow-moving, ponderous Jayhawker team that showed comparatively little fight. This hesitancy is typical of past K.U. teams in first non-conference games. By the half, each team had 12 fouls chalked up against it.
A reserve squad which had never played together before, began the second half and displayed more fight than the starters.
Three sets of teams entered the court before the final whistle. Third and fourth string reserves were played during the last part of the game.

The meeting of the debate squad at 7:30 tonight in Green hall is open to freshman and sophomore students with high school experience in debating.
Debaters Meet
Students outsmarted the faculty in Thursday's "Battle of the Brains" quiz program at Chemistry club, Alberta Cornwell, quiz master, said today.
Students Beat Profs In 'Battle of Brains'
At one time it was thought that the drinking of snow or glacial water was a cause of goiter.
The winners were presented with small report cards, marked with "A plus," and the losers with small bottles of triple-distilled "midnight oil."
The student team defeated the faculty team by six points.
The questions, which pertained to many subjects other than chemistry, were made up by the judges, Jean Mansur, Robert Hammer, and Mrs. Frances Clancy, and by several chemistry students.
John J. Verburg, University Press employee, was called to Osakaosla, Iowa, Sunday by the death of his mother, Mrs. Herman Verburg.

Local Men Give to Museum
Rosland Skinner, Lawrence sheriff, Chester E. Skinner, and Pete Underwood presented to Dyche museum six deerheads which they had collected in New Mexico.
One head will be mounted for display, and the others used for research. These heads fill a gap in the museum's collection.
University professors doff white collars and don trunks and tee shirts twice a week for an hour of vigorous volleyball. These energetic intellects are no mere amateurs when it comes to set-ups and spikes.
Sometimes Faculty Can Play, Too
Raymond Nichols, executive secretary, executes some neat returns of spikes made by Calvin VanderWerf, associate professor of chemistry, between sallies back and forth across the net. In a workout last week while Edwin Browne, director of public relations, was serving, James Coleman, psychology instructor, tried diverting him with, "You're doing fine, Ed!" Ed's next ball went into the net and he answered, "You shouldn't have said that, Jim. You're a psychologist and should know better."
Ray Beamer, professor in entomology, is called "Doc" by the players and never misses a game. Some of the other actives are Lee Gemmel, extension division; Don Haines, engineering; Paul Hausman, shop principles; the Rev. Fosberg Hughes, Congregational minister; Marshall Mayberry, botany professor; W. H. Shoemaker, romance language professor; and Robert Taft, Jr., chemistry instructor. So far this year the team has not been challenged.
