From the Sidelines By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
Dr. F. C. (Phog) Allen really knew what he was talking about when he stated before the season began that "some of these service games may approach mayhem." To quote the good doctor's exact words: "It will be a tough, aggressive season. With the more experienced officials in military service, some of the games may approach mayhem. One reason why I expect such a trend, is that so many service teams are playing this year and the army and navy physical conditioning programs call for aggressive play on the court. There will be thrills and spills aplenty." Anyone who witnessed last Saturday's game with the Hutchinson NAS cagers will hear tily agree that Allen's latest prognosis hit the nail exactly on the head. At least it certainly did in this early-season game, but we are of the notion that if such continues to be true as the season progresses, players will most certainly have to equip themselves with blocking pads and helmets.

However, if roughness and aggressiveness is what it is going to take this year, Allen will hardly be for having his boys knocked around. Although he doesn't teach dirty tactics, "Phog", however, does see that his Jayhawks learn to take care of themselves.

If second-rate officiating is to be the order for this season, woe be unto these "inexperienced whistle tooters." Dr. Allen was anything but pleased in Saturday's game when instead of two charity toses being given Kansas on two consecutive technical fouls, "an official's time out" was called. It all came about when Hutchinson called for time out when Kansas had the ball. A navy player had thrown his knee out of place. All right, the time out should have been called, but KU also should have been awarded a free throw as this infraction is a technical foul in anyone's book. To make matters worse, the Hutchinson coach, Bill Hennigh, jumped out on the floor, grabbed the referee, and called for time. This was also a technical foul. What did the officials do? They merely stated that it was "an official's time out," which is impossible, and declared that Kansas could have the ball out when play was resumed.

Service Men Buy Christmas Seals
Reports from the officers in charge of stamp sales show that the service men on the campus are doing a fine job in contributing to the cause, as well as others scattered over the country.
A service man, although hundreds of miles away, remembered his home town and wrote back requesting $2.50 worth of Christmas seals, by money order. He is Sgt. Herbert C. Barker, 1132 Conn. street, now stationed in the Service Troop Tank Cavalry, Camp Lockett, Calif.
Sgt. Barker writes, "It is a pleasure to obtain these seals from the old home town, and I trust in another year the war will be over, and I can return home to carry on with you."

Hutchinson NAS Wallops Kansas In First Defeat
The Navy five built up an 11-point lead before the Jayhawkers were able to break into the scoring column. Toward the end of the first half, the Jayhawks rallied and appeared to have a chance, but the Navy hit for two long shots, and at the half the score stood 25 to 13. Hutchinson led by about a 10-point margin throughout the contest.
The Jayhawks sustained their first defeat of the infant basketball season last Saturday night when the rough and rowdy Hutchinson naval air base cagers gave them a sound 46 to 32 spanking.
Officiating Was Spotty
The game approached bedlam at times and nearly resembled a football game, as there was much bodily contact and blocking. In fact, in the confusion three or four players were on the floor diving for the ball in several instances. However, the crowd ate it up and the game was interesting and exiting from beginning to end.
The officiating was extremely spotty and in many instances violations were not called. The Hutchinson team especially got away with traveling with the ball. Also, many bodily-contact fouls went by uncalled, some of which were apparent to the crowd.
Johnson Starred Navy Team
The Hutchinson NAS team was not popular with the fans but was, nevertheless, quite colorful. Joe Trosper, midget forward from Oklahoma, was high scorer for Hutchinson with 13 points. Pike Gawthrop, who was a chief at the Machinist's Mates School here this summer, was close behind with nine. The latter is well known in Kansas circles as a star cager at Wichita U, and has made a name for himself in semi-pro baseball.
Poor at the Foul Line It was the Jayhawks inability to
Row, Woolverton Hostesses At Home Ec. Luncheon

At the luncheon to be prepared Thursday, Janice Brown, Kathryn Krehbiel, and Mary Franks will be hostesses.
hit their foul tosses that resulted in their taking such a decisive licking. The Navy hit 14 free throws to Kansas 6, despite the fact that both teams had nearly an equal number of shots.
Two players on each team were banished from the game via the foul route. The Hutchinson team made itself most unpopular when John Pace, formerly of Missouri U., refused to shake hands with a Kansas player when he left the game on fouls.
Sparky Went Out on Fouls
Bill Lindquist hit three remarkable long shots for Kansas and his stellar floor work warranted much praise. Don "Duck" Barrington, was a work horse under the basket and he came up with rebounds time after time. Had it not been for Don, the game probably would have been a walk away.
Little Dean Corder was in there battling all the way, and despite his youth and size, he often came out with the ball. The Jayhawks were hard hit when Captain "Sparky" McSpadden went out on fouls shortly after the half.

Dinzeo and Cassidy Machinist's Mates, Will Box in Oklahoma
Dinzeo recently was the heavyweight title winner at the naval base in Farragut, Idaho. He has had 60 amateur ring bouts, winning all but five.
Dinzeo is under the training direction of Chief Specialist Hayes, formerly coach of the Cedar Rapids Gazette Golden Gloves champions in the Chicago tournament.
Boxing, though not a campus sport, will carry the colors of the University when M. J. Dinzee, 180-pound machinist's mate, meets a representative of Oklahoma City in the Municipal auditorium at Kansas City, Mo., Monday.
Another campus star, Mike Cassidy, middleweight, who is undefeated in 17 bouts, will accompany Dinzeo to meet a Kansas City contender. He has scored five knock-outs in his ring career.
Naming Dinzeo to the heavyweight post adds to the seasoning and balance of the eight-man team which will oppose Oklahoma. Both Dinzeo and Cassidy are scheduled to leave the campus, however, at the end of the month, and their Monday appearance will be their last here.
