TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1944
From the Sidelines BY Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Dates have now been set for the NCAA and New York Invitational Tournaments . . . So, speculation will be rampant in the next few weeks as to which will be "the teams." . . . The invitational, which will bring together eight handpicked fives, will be held March 16-20-22 and 26 . . . The NCAA will run off its western tourney in Kansas City, March 24 and 25, and its Eastern finals in Madison Square Garden March 23 to 25 . . . The two secciónal winners will clash in New York on March 28 and there is a strong possibility that the NCAA and the invitation champs will langle in a Red Cross benefit game as a seasonal climax as they did last year when Wyoming, NCAA winner, downed St. Johns, the game getting more than $30,000 for the Red Cross . . . The Oklahoma Agies, Iowa State, and Oklahoma are being groomed for the NCAA spot in this area . . . However, as the Agies probably will accept and expected bid to the Invitational, the Big Six winner, most likely Iowa State, will represent the fourth district at Kansas City . . . Texas is a favorite in the southwest, Utah in the Rocky Mountain area, and either Washington or California from the West Coast.
Kansas State lost two of its baseball starters by graduation Saturday, Bob Schwartz and Lee Doyen . . . They will also be without the services of reserve, Bud Hilka, who reports for his Army physical, in their game against Nebraska at Lincoln tonight . . .
This loss should take away what ever edge the Wildcats might have possessed and tonight's battle of the beaten should be strictly a toss-up.
K-State Loses Stars
Baseball at O. U.
Ens. W. Scheerer, Navy V-12 athletic officer, will be coach of the University of Oklahoma baseball team this coming season, Athletic Director Darl Arbuckle has announced . . . Ensign Scheerer played first base with the Buford, Ga., Bona-Allens, national semi-prochampions in 1933 . . . He has also had a tryout with the Memphis thicks and the Southern Association . . . Oklahoma has fielded a baseball team for 22 consecutive years . . . No announcement here as yet has been made concerning the baseball situation except that because of the spring term's longevity extending into June, weather conditions should be favorable andence emphasis will be given the hard ball sport.

Just Chatter
The Oklahoma Sooners will take on the tough Norman ATTC Skyjackets tomorrow night . . . Navy Lieut. Roland F. Logan, a former K.U. star, has constructed a nine-hole golf course at a recreation center in the Southwest Pacific . . . Spot also has two baseball diamonds; nine softball parks, two football fields, four basketball courts, and facilities for tennis, volleyball, soccer, boxing, handball, horseshoe pitching, badminton, and swimming.
Gardner on Basketball
Lieutenant Jack Gardner has just completed a survey of most of the 16 naval aviation cadet training schools in the 7-state area and his observations bear out our recent statements that basketball is the greatest of the conditioning sports . . . Prime requisites for a fighter pilot, says Gardner, are stamina, precise optical, muscular, and mental co-ordination, quick perception, quick thinking and relaxation, along with a cool determination to win . . . And Gardner is convinced that no
DG Defeats Corbin,
To Play Chi O Feb. 3
The Delta Gamma's forged aheac against the Corbin women and defeated them in the semi-finals with a'score of 31-13. More accurate on their baskets, and excellent guarding on the part of the Delta Gamma's put them on the winning side of the game throughout the entire game. However, at the half the margin was not so great, the score being 13-7 in favor of the Delta Gamma's.
Leeta Marks and Ruth Payne, DG's, vied with each other for high point rating, making 12 and 13 points respectively. Doris Bixby showed exceptionally fine guarding and made it difficult for the Corbinites to make any headway. Shirley Rhodes made 10 pons for Corbin.
The Delta Gamma's will meet the Chi Omega's Thursday night to play for the championship of the women's basketball tournament.

Colorado Requires Convocation
A journalism convocation, required of all journalism students, is held at intervals throughout the year at the University of Colorado.
sport comes closer to developing all those attributes than basketball . . .
In basketball, as in an aerial dog fight, the scene shifts constantly . . .
One minute you are on the defensive, the next you shift to the offensive . . . The contest is continuous with quick-on-the-spot decisions vital . . . Among the numerous advantages propelled by basketball, Gardner has discovered, is the increased dexterity of the left hand . . .
This proves a great aid in flying technique . . . Split vision, the ability acquired by a cager to look straight ahead while at the same time seeing out of the corner of their eyes what opponents are doing, is also a great asset to a flyer . . . It is easy to see the usefulness of such ability to a pilot who is flying in formation, or who is forced to fight off a group of attacking Zeros

Commenting upon the non-partisan, for the V-12 at least, rooting of the machinist's and electrician's mates in attendance, Chief Starkey stated that a dream bout could be arranged between the V-12's and the MM's and the EM's, and that he was anxious to bring such a meeting about.
"It would be a natural," Chief Starkey said, "With the rivalry between the two schools, it should provide plenty of entertainment." Judges of the bouts were Lt. Orville Hood and Chief Specialist George Gathings. Ens. H. L. Ware was timekeeper.
