UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1944
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Little Rockhurst came up with a minor upset in defeating Washburn last night, 28 to 20. The Ichabods had been steadily improving since their initial encounter against Kansas in which they were soundly defeated, 46 to 24. Since then, Washburn has defeated K-State and were barely beaten out by Missouri, recent conquerors of Kansas, by a one point margin.
Another game of no little interest was the Oklahoma-Oklahoma A. & M battle last night in which the Agies came out victorious, 59 to 40. Recently in the Oklahoma City tournament, the Sooners took the championship by defeating the Norman NAS Zoomers who in turn had downed the Ibames in the seminails. Bruce Drake will now be all he stronger in his support for Phog Allen's 12-foot goal as the sevenfoot Bob Kurland played havoc with his aces, Ken Pryor and Allie Payne, by causing them to arch their shots out of his reach and their aim consequently going awry. The giant also batted several "sure goals" out of the basket. It was the highest total that the defensive-minded Agiles have scored in the Stillwater field house, with the Sooners, 40, being the highest of any losing cam. Apparently Tha' lay his men gone to play the fast breaking game of the Sooners. Another record was broken in Gallagher Hall when Juavid Floyd Burdette, who has seen out of action much of the season because of an injury, jammed in twenty-four points to lead his nates to victory over the Sooners, elected by some observers as "the emt to beat" in the Big Six. It looks like the Aggiemen are the class of the Missouri Valley" this year.
Aggies Clean Sooners!

K-State Still Poor Last-half Team
The Kansas State Wildcats again made a light of it the first half Tuesday night when they trailed only 19 to 25 in their game with the Fort Riley Centaurus. However, because of their limited reserves, they wilted in the final stanza and went down in a smashing 67 to 43 defeat. The CRTC men, who didn't look particularly impressive in losing by one-point to Kansas here in December, apparently have been making a lot of improvement. Or else K-State is getting worse!
deal for Baseball
Weather Ideal for Baseball Harry E. Morrow says that with the spring semester at KU. not ending until the latter part of June, the situation appears ideal for baseball on M. Oread. In the past, with school out a month earlier, weather conditions were bad for baseball. Athletic officials have said the sport might be played this spring if suitable opponents could be found."
Yeoman Tom Lydon Transferred to V-5
Yeoman second class Thomas Lydon, one of the first three enlisted men to arrive at the University of Kansas at the start of the Naval Training School in June, 1942, has been ordered to report to the Naval Air Corps at Kansas City for V-5 training, Chief Yeoman Starkey announced today.
An average of 5,000,000 vacationists visit the 18 national forests in California each year.
Yeoman Lydon, now on leave at his home in St. Louis, Mo., arrived in Lawrence, June 18, 1942, with Chief Yeoman Starkey and Yeoman Roberts. Since that time he has been on duty in the executive office of the Machinist's Mates school, except for a brief period in the disbursing office.
Battenfeld, Beta, Sigma Uu, Sigma Chi Win Intramural Tilts
Beta, Battenfeld, Sigma Nu, and Sigma Chi were winners in Tuesday and Wednesday night intramural play. Since the Triangles, an A League team, have dropped out, the games between Triangle and the Blanks scheduled for Tuesday, and between Triangle and DTD Wednesday were not played.
In a B League game Tuesday night, Battenfeld edged out its closest rival, Carruth, 14 to 13 in a photo-finish. The game between the residence hall boys was close all the way with Battenfeld leading 10 to 8 at the half in this low score affair.
In a B League game last night the Betas showed power in downing the DU's, 33 to 7 with Mowery, Johnson, and Chase leading the way with 12, nine, and six points respectively.
Another B game saw Sigma Nu scalping Carruth 26 to 12, Stuart with nine and Hargiss with six led the Sigma Nu attack.
In the only A League game Sigma Chi won over TKE, 20 to 15. Patterson led the winners with six counters, but Crowley, a TKE, was high scorer for the game with 11 points.

Blanks, Mates Win in League
Coming back from a luke-warm first half, the Blanks defeated the S.O.W. Ads. 45-17 in Lawrence League Basketball play last night. Bob Bock, freshman from Macks-ville, led the scoring with a sizzling 18-point barrage, using a pivot shot and his height to score repeatedly in the second half. Nelson, with 12, and Smith, with 11, supplied ample support to the victory. The Blanks led, 16-14 at the half.
In the second game of the evening, the Machinist's Mates failed to show too much power in downing the S.O.W. Techs, 36-22. Kaskela, of the MM's led the scoring with 16 points, seconded by Stavors, S.O.W., with 11 points.
By virtue of their victory over the S.O.W. Ads., the Blanks now loom large in their game with V-12 tonight. The V-12's in their first night of play defeated the Ads. 34-20. Comparative scores give the Blanks a slight advantage, but the height and reserves of the V-12 will undoubtedly be a big factor in tonight's meeting.
Following the V-12-Blank meeting, the S.O.W. Ads, will oppose the Irish Rascals in what should be another "nip-and-tuck" affair.
