Hagerdorn Leads Ship to Upset Blanks 42-29
Holding Bock, leading scorer of the league, to 2 points, while scoring 13 himself, Hagerdorn, tall guard of the Ship's Company, led his team to a 42-29 upset of the Blanks in Lawrence basketball play last night. Ensign Ware, scoreless in the first half, found the basket for 11 points in the second half to add to the victory margin.
However, the Blanks, in their second game of the evening against the OW Techs, revenged themselves by building up a top-heavy 73-24 core. Bock's 33 points placed himack into the lead of league scorers, while Smith and Nelson scored up and 15 points respectively.
With the league play now starting on the second half of the schedule, the V-12's remain in front with a perfect record while the Blanks and the Irish Rascals follow in that order.

Francisco, professor of clinical surgery in the University of Kansas School of Medicine, from his home in Kansas City to graduation exercises in Fraser hall, Jan. 31, so that he could present one medical diploma—to his son, Dr. David Francisco. The elder Francisco has been seriously ill since a major operation in November.

From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
In the transfer of Lt. (j.g.) Joe Zeller, former Indiana University, Green Bay Packer, and Chicago Bear football star who has been a member of the navy's physical training staff at Marquette University for almost two years, to the University we can now boast one of the top football players of the country who should be able to give Coaches Henry Shenk and Elmer Schaake no little assistance in teaching Kansas' linemen the "tricks of the trade." Last fall, in addition to his navy duties at Marquette, Zeller assisted Coach Tom E. Stidham with the Marquette football team.
Played With Bears Six Years
Zeller, whose home is in East Chicago, Ind., captained both football and basketball at Indiana U., graduating in 1932. He played with the Green Bay Packers in 1932 and then with the Chicago Bears the next six years, 1933 to 1938. He played with and coached the Newark Bears, 1939-41, and in addition did some high school coaching while at the New Jersey city. Should he be called upon by the Kansas grid staff and find time in addition to his directing of physical training in the MM and EM schools, Zeller might go a long way in helping get Kansas' line play out of the "ruit" it has been in these past several years.
MU and Iowa State Reappoint Coaches
Down at Missouri Chauney G. Simpson will continue for another year acting head football coach. Don Faurot, former head coach, now on active duty at Monmouth College, Ill., after a successful season at Iowa naval pre-flight, had his leave of absence extended for another year. A. M. (Mike) Michalske, head football coach at Iowa State College on a part-time basis for the past one and one-half seasons, has been named head football coach on a full-time basis at the Ames school. Michalske is a former Penn State and Green Bay Packer star.

Cyclones, Olathe, Leavenworth Win With Brookfield, leading Big Six scorer, throwing in 21 points last night, the Iowa - State Cyclones
drubbed the Drake University Bulldogs, 62 to 34. At Olathe the naval air station Clippers downed Washburn college, 54 to 37, for their eighteenth straight victory against a lone defeat, suffered to Ft. Leavenworth in the season's opener. Meanwhile, Ft. Leavenworth, whom the Jayhawks will meet there Feb. 15, slashed out a 51 to 33 victory over the Maryville Missouri Teachers. Tilberg, high scoring Flyer forward, scored 22 points.
Delt's Phi's Win Close Games
The Phi Delt's won out in a photo finish, 22 to 21, in their battle for first place in the Intramural "B" League with the Sig Alph's last night. Both teams entered the game undefeated. Despite the loss SAE still has a good chance of winding up in the play-offs. Walton, who scored seven points for the losers, was high man for the game, and Phi Delt's Huebert and Scott paced the attack for the victors, scoring six and five points respectively.
The other contest last night was also a close, defensive battle. But rather than being between two undefeated teams, it was just the opposite—a battle of the beaten, the Teke's and the Delt's. Neither team had been able to cop a victory in "A" League play until DTD finally emerged victorious over TKE, 22 to 20, in their cellar battle. Spikes was high for the Teke's with 12 points, and Kongs was the main scoring threat of the Delt's, scoring eight points.

Big Crowd Expected For KU-OU Game
Promotion Due Invasion Leaders
Norman, Okla. — Reservations for the 52nd Kansas- Oklahoma basketball battle here Saturday night are going at a smart clip, reports Call Cross, Sooner business manager of athletics. Oklahoma's first sizable wartime basketball crowd of the 1944 season is expected for this second clash of the season between Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's fighting Jayhawkers and Coach Bruce Drake's Sooners. In an earlier clash at Lawrence, Kan., Oklahoma won by a point, 24-23.
The year's record Norman attendance, approximately 2,500 fans, saw the youthful Sooners lose to Iowa State by two points here last Saturday night, Oklahoma's second point defeat in succession on her home floor.
Cross imputes this phenomena to the fact Doctor Allen, year in and year out, develops powerful Kansas teams and that the Kansas-Okla-homa basketball tradition, started in 1920, has always been productive of thrilling basketball.
But regardless of the standings of the teams, the Kansas - basketball game always outdraws the Iowa State game at Norman, Cross says. Even a Big Six championship tilt between Iowa State and Oklahoma clubs all-victorious in league play couldn't change this precedent.
Washington, (INS)—The two top American commanders in the invasion of the Marshall islands, Vice-Admiral Raymond A. Spruance and Rear Admiral Richmond K. Turner, were designated today for promotion in recognition of the smashing victory.
