ANYBODY BUT THE AGGIES
Oklahoma's loss to Wyoming in the opening round of the Western NCAA tourney was no surprise to University fans. The closeness of the score, however, did fool many local cage followers, who were spotting the Sooners 10 points in their wagers on the game.
There will probably be those who will raise the old cry that the Oklahoma Aggies deserved the bid, or at least a playoff game with the Sooners to decide the fifth district representative. The truth is, however, that NCAA fans got and deserved a big break when the Sooners received the bid.
Anything but a rabid Oklahoma fan, we nevertheless think that an invitation to the slow, rough Aggie squad would have been a mistake. Over a basketball game in which the Iba-men participate, we'll take a county fair terrapin derby any day.
DON'T FORGET THE JAYHAWKS
Rankings of cage teams for the season just completed are still coming out, with Illinois topping most of those which exclude service teams. We think our own Kansas Jayhawkers definitely deserve a place in the first five, along with Creighton despite its loss at Madison Square Garden. For the fourth position we'd nominate St. John's, with either Wyoming or Southern California holding down the other spot in the top five.
JUST JABBER
Haven Glassmire, whose picture is in the latest issue of the new mag—"World At War"—is the same boy who used to give fencing demonstrations between halves of basketball games . . . From Kansas State whence came all those brave reports on continuation of sports next year if at all possible are now coming the first announcements of "drastic curtailments." . . The Oklahoma baseball team may feature an all-fresh infield this spring.
Coach "Phog" Allen thinks Max Kissell will develop into a first-rate baseball player this summer . . . Freshman Bryce Kresie of the diamond team, who plays the infield or pitches, greatly prefers the former position . . . T. N. Hare, who formerly played some fine intramural ball with the Newman Club squad, is now working at the SOW plant . . . Wichita sportswriters were plenty burnt up when the AAU declared Ralph Miller ineligible . . . This is tennis weather without a doubt, so get out that old raquet.

Cowboys Win; Sooners Take Consolation
Kansas City, Mo., Mar. 27, (INS)
— The Wyoming Cowboys won the right to represent the West against Georgetown of the East in the National Collegiate Athletic Association meet at New York City Tuesday evening by nosing out the Texas Longhorns here tonight 58 to 54.
John Hargiss, leading the way moved Texas to an early lead of 21 to 9 in the first ten minutes, but Kenny Sailors began hitting from all angles to narrow the gap 29 to 25. Hargiss and Overall brought the score to 33 to 27 in Texas' favor at the half.
Wyoming's rejuvenated quintet narrowed the gap at the opening of the second half and the teams were at a tie 51-all with five minutes to play. Kenny Sailors potted two long ones to give the Cowboys the lead they never relinquished.
High scorers were Hargiss 29, Lomenich 17, Weir 13, Sailors 12.
In the consolation game Oklahoma defeated Washington 48 to 43.
The first half was slow and uninteresting. At the half it was Oklahoma 24, Washington 21. High scorers were Tucker 18, Rieich 13, and Taylor 16.
In Friday night's game the Wyoming Cowboys nosed out the Sooners 53 to 50 in a game which was too close for comfort for the highly touted Cowboys even though Gerald Tucker fouled out with three minutes to go in the first half. Milo Konenich's seven field goals in the last half were too much for the Sooners who had led at the half, 25 to 22.
In a similarly close game, Texas managed to come from behind and defeat Washington 50 to 55. The Huskies led at the half 33 to 28 but the deadly shooting of the Long-horns' Hargis, who scored 30 points, enabled the Texans to force the game into an overtime period.

Tennis Champ May Never Play Again
Today the hand was bandaged and in a sling and Miss Wills, now the wife of Lieut. Aiden Roark, stationed at Fort Riley, said it probably would remain this way for another two months.
Manhattan, Kan., (INS) - Helen Wills, regarded by many as the greatest woman tennis player in history, looked forward today to the grim possibility she never may be able to play her favorite game again.
She was severely bitten last Jan. 14 when she stepped in and tried to stop a vicious fight between her German police dog and another dog that had pounced on him. Both animals turned on her and one of them bit her right hand.
She added sadly her physician had told her he * did not know if she ever would recover full use of her hand.
