V-12's Win Lead In Local League
Continuing their fast pace, the V-12's defeated the Irish Rascals 50-32 last night to become undisputed leaders of the Lawrence Community Basketball League.
Although suffering from lack of reserves the Irish Rascals, led by Hare with 20 points, fought hard and not until the latter part of the game did the Navy team secure a comfortable winning margin. Hare, towering Indian from Haskell, displayed fine ball-handling abilities, and connected several times with a difficult two-handed shot from above his head.
Lutz with 14 points, and Pyle with 10 points, led the V-12 scoring. Half-time score was 19 to 17, V-12.
In the second game of the evening, the S.O.W. Ads rolled over the S.O.W. Techs 39 to 23 to gain local superiority in the S.O.W. camp. Hoke, Ads forward, led the scoring with nine points, followed by Hole, of the Techs, and Anderson, of the Ads, with eight each. The Ads were far in front at the half, 18-4.
Tonight the Blanks will meet the Machinist's Mates in the first game of the evening, and the S.O.W. Ads will oppose the Ship's Company in the second game, a change to present the MM's from meeting both the Blanks and V-12's tonight as was previously scheduled.
The MM's are expected to rebound from the poor form shown against Ship's Company last week, and are slightly favored over the Blanks. The second game, however, is expected to be, as Chief Starkey, League manager, expressed it, "one of those rolling affairs between two heavy teams."

From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
The University's breaking of all athletic relations with Oklahoma A & M. last year was a mighty good thing. And not so much either just because Henry Iba got mad in the Aggie game here last year and left only four men on the court after a couple of his stars had fouled out. The reason for our statement is that it just wouldn't be fair to match a youthful Kansas team against a team that has gone farther than far enough in getting two professional athletes to play on their team. We thought it was bad in the football season when Missouri used three three-year men, Reece, Mortan, and Ekern, and when Oklahoma used Brumley, a naval instructor and Rice graduate. But that was within the relaxed Big Six wartime ruling which did permit any regularly enrolled student to participate in athletics. This ruling, however, has been done away with and there will be no more graduates, four-year men, or otherwise playing in the conference next fall.
Aggie Case Different
But the Aggies have gone ever further and are using two professional athletes, both in their late twenties, who were playing high school ball when most of the present crop of athletes were still in short pants. In Burdette, who recently scored 24 points against Oklahoma Iba has an old A.A.U. veteran who played several years with Oklahoma City teams. Doyle is a former professional baseball player who played with Louisville before going to the Boston Red Sox. Surely the Missouri Valley conference hasn't let the gates wide open to the extent that pros can enroll in school and participate! And the case of Burdette is even a greater puzzle. Burdette is an army instructor at the Stillwater school and even if he were attending some classes they would still not be classified as a student. Furthermore, if the army forbids its trainees who are bona fide students at the college they are assigned to, from playing football, how can an army instructor, a post grad, play basketball? If Iba wanted to have a ball club of ex-stars, why didn't he just draft the Phillips 66 Oilers, for Bartlesville is near by.
Moffett OK?
Dr. R. I. Canuteson stated this morning that Charles Moffett, the Jayhaw's high scorer, will be able to make the Iowa State trip sure and with no fever in the last 24 hours Moffett states that he will be able to play. The fact that he has been in bed for four days will no doubt leave him in such a weakened condition that he will be unavailable for much of the Cyclone tussle. Dr. Allen has announced that his beginning combination will likely be Barrington and Lindquist, forwards; Sherwood, center; and Captain McSpadden and either Diehl or Stucker at the guard posts. Big Abe Turner may also see considerable action if Barrington does not get over his fouling
