UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1943
From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
This writer has fallen in line with Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen's proposal to raise the baskets (in intercollegiate play only, mind you) and for his suggestion that three points instead of two be awarded the free throw. We will present the reasons for these revolutionary changes in the near future, taking in part from the letter that Dr. Allen plans to write the sports poll of Esquire Magazine. In their reason presentation of the polling of the question as to whether the goals should be raised, Esquire stated that Dr. Allen had advocated the raising of the baskets as to take in basketball in general, including high school basketball. Allen never has been for the raising of the goals in prep school play but only in intercollegiate competition.

Hugh Fullerton, Jr. states that Bob Kurland, the seven-foot youngster who plays basketball for Oklahoma A & M may be the unwitting instrument for making this change in the court rules. Pointing the finger at Kurland and other oversize "goal tenders" (probably because he couldn't reach Bb's head), Coach Bruce Drake of Oklahoma says he has decked to join Dr. Allen's campaign according to Fullerton.
Dr. Allen is inclined to believe that the sudden change of his old enemy Drake might have come from a more personal reason rather than for the good of the game itself. Allen believes the only way such a change can ever come about is to set a date such as three years from such and such a time the new rule would go into force. That way, no team and player, such as the Aggies and their Kurland, would be discriminated against. In fact, that is the only way it could be done for teams that now happen to have the "mezzenaine goons" would certainly raise a howl. And a well justified one at that.

Big Six Football players this year could never even come close to getting "All American" recognition. In fact they were, because of their respective team's records, sneezed at (probably rightfully so) and consequently no big Sirxer was an All-American until . . . Dr. Lucien Stark of Norfolk, Neb., came up with his 14th annual Jawbreaker All-America—an eleven composed of players with names designed to make even track sports announcers cringe. Therefore both Tolleenare, Kansas State, and Dellasstatious, Missouri, were given first team berths. Other members were Cittandino, Duke; Yanousch, Iowa; Zych, Wisconsin; Szymanski, Notre Dame (you can't leave the Fighting Irish out); Hapanowics, Penn.; Athenania, Navy; Kasprzak, Dartmouth; Dimancheff, Purdue; and Nasaj, Illinois.
Varsity Again Wins From Rockhurst In Basketball,43-28
Kansas won a basketball game from Rockhurst College last night, 43 to 28. The Jayhawks, in winning over the same opponent for the second time in three days, were far from impressive.
It was the same type of game as the Ft. Leavenworth encounter except that against the youthful, inexperienced Hawks, Kansas at least was always in the lead. However, in both games Kansas played a poor first half, received a half-time talking to, and played an improved final stanza.
Diehl Is High Scorer
Don Diehl, guard, who played the entire 40 minutes, was high scorer for the game with 11 points. Diehl was credited by Coach Allen as the Jayhawk's "best performer" last night.
Tom Draney, blonde-headed junior center, was high point man for the Hawks with 8. Draney, who is only 19, was the oldest member on the Rockhurst team as the other members were all freshmen up from Rockhurst high. The team's average age was 17.1 years. Rockhurst made up for their lack of age and experience with plenty of fight and scrap.
Don Barrington, who was bothered by a charley-horse and a cold, scored 9 points for Kansas, while Linguist scored seven points, McSpadden five, Moffett four, Corder three, and Frank and Sherwood each two points.
Kansas will meet the Olathe Clippers here Wednesday night and the Ft. Riley Centraurs here Friday.
The oldest American college Greek letter fraternity is Phi Beta Kappa.
Dinzeo Loses Bout; Cassidy Wins at K.C.
The condition of M. J. Dinzeo, machinist's mate heavyweight was such that he was unable to be at his best in his bout last night with J. C. Colhuer of Oklahoma City at the Kansas City municipal auditorium, and the result was his defeat on points—a loss which cost Kansas City its victory.
On the other hand, Howard Cassidy, another local machinist's mate, gave Ray McCoy, Kansas City, a neat boxing lesson in three rounds as a part of the supporting bouts.
Dinzeo went out in the final round under a strong comeback from the 205-pound Sooner. He seemed to tire under the weighty blows of his heavier opponent. The teams thereby ended their match with a tie-four-all.
