Sportorials
By Jim Mordy
The Emporia Gazette is sending postcards to sports writers all over Kansas, asking for their choice for this year's winners in the state high school basketball tournament. Four places are to be picked in Class AA, and two in both Class A and B.
After a little thought, here's what this writer submitted. Class AA, Salina, Newton, Wyandotte, and Topeka; Class A, Wichita Cathedral and Seamain high of Topeka; Class B, Halstead. No attempt was made to select another team in Class B, because the strongest teams all seem to be in the south central area, and only one team can represent that area among the final four in the state tournament.
Area Division Is Factor
The same is true in AA to a certain extent. An eastern regional and a western regional are held with only two teams emerging from each. That is the reason for not picking Wellington or Hutchinson. Even if these teams could beat Wyandotte or Topea, only two teams can reach the finals at Emporia from the western half of the state.
In Class A and B the state is divided into four quarters with a team representing each quarter, instead of two teams from each half. Newton lost a one-pointer to a weak El Dorado team last Saturday as Wellington climbed into the top position in the Ark Valley. However, if Newton wins from the Crusaders in a couples of weeks things will be all tied up again. Perhaps this year the Railroaders will manage to slip past Salina for the title. For the last two years sports writers have labelled the Newton club unbeatable only to see them lose in the finals. With no pressure one them, they might be able to accomplish the this year Home Games important in Big Six
In the Big Six, home games are still the determining factor. Kansas has won four home games, losing

Browne to Be Moderator On Two KMBC Roundtables
R. Edwin Browne, University director of publicity, had been chosen to act as moderator in two round-table discussions over KMBC (Kansas City, Mo., radio station) at which time the proposed new constitution for Missouri will be discussed.
March 5—Oklahoma vs. Missouri,
Columbia.
Browne, as a Kansas neutral, and experienced as a moderator for four years on the program "The Little Office Behind the Church" will go to Kansas City, Mo., Saturday to officiate in the recordings.
There will be two speakers on each program advocating acceptance of the constitution and two speakers on each program against it.
none. Oklahoma has won four at Norman, losing none. Iowa State has won both of the Cyclone's home games. Kansas State has won all three of its home games. Kansas' early advantage because of its victory over Missouri at Columbia was wiped out by the Nebraska loss last week, and the race may not be decided until the first week of March.
Nebraska seems to be the only team that can be beaten on its own court, and the Jayhawkers failed to do that. Oklahoma, Iowa State, and Missouri have gained their only road victories at Lincoln, and the Kansas State Wildcats have yet to win a road encounter.
Gordon Reynolds is well up in the individual scoring race as the results of his 13 points against Nebraska and his 17 against Oklahoma. Charles Moffett, with only 5 points in the last two games, has slipped from a 10.2 average to an 8.0 average, but still manages to hold the eighth spot in the averaging. The players, ranked by their average points a game, are as follows:
Games Pts. Av.
Myers, I-State 5 72 14.4
Petersen, Nebraska 7 93 13.3
