'DON'T INCLUDE ANY SQUABBLES'
Oklahoma University, the place where coeds are not allowed to wear slacks, where students cannot ride in cars and where Kansas meets the Sooners Saturday night, has come up with the latest: a woman sports editor, Mary Jo Clements, on the Oklahoma Daily. Mary Jo, in her column, Comment from Clements, says:
"I wish to think the coaches and Harold Keith (sports publicity writer) in advance for all their help and for their patience which I shall, no doubt, tax.
"My plans for the sports page don't include any squabbles with the editors on other university papers. Something tells me I will not have time for such. That's a relief.
"Maybe the WAACS or WAVES won't get me before I have a go at reporting some basketball, track, tennis, and baseball."
--re-enactment of the thrilling 63-51 Sooner victory last February with perhaps a reversal in scoring. Usually a home-court club, Kansas has been setting its most torid pace on the road this year.
WE ALL HAVE OUR OFF DAYS
Lieut. Ross Ley, Rotsie judo expert who has been tossing stooges around at basketball game and gravy-circuit demonstrations, caught a backfire Wednesday.
Ley was displaying his skill on a student near Fowler shops, ROTC headquarters. The lieutenant is now wearing crutches to reliev a tortured ankle.

Oklahoma Sports Publicist Harold Keith sends some of the "Superlatives of the traditional Sooner-Jayhawk cage rivalry begun long before any of Saturday's players were born."
Most points one player, one game—27 by Rope Engleman, Kansas, at Lawrence 1939 and Bud Browning, Oklahoma, at Norman 1935.
Best three-year scoring record—16.5 points a game by all-American Ray Ebling, Kansas forward. In 10 games against Oklahoma in 1934-35-36 Ebling scored 55 field goals and 55 free throws for a 165-point total against the Sooners.
Best clutch shooting—Tus Ackerman, brilliant Kansas center of 1923-24-25, three times beat Oklahoma by scoring timely baskets in final seconds of play.
Highest score one game—63 points by Oklahoma at Norman in 1942. Highest score both teams one game—114 last year at Norman as Oklahoma won 63-51.
Highest score two games, one year—104 by Kansas last year, while defeating Oklahoma 52-32 at Lawrence, losing 51-63 at Norman, for an average of 52 points a game.
Best rally-By Oklahoma at Norman in 1931. Trailing 6-20 at the half against Kansas' championship club, the cellar Sooners rallied to win 33-30.
Best guarding-By the Kansas team of 1934 that held Oklahoma to 16 points at Lawrence (the same Sooner five later set a Big Six record of 68 points against Kansas State)—broken by one point by Kansas against Missouri.
Biggest disparity in scoring—After being overwhelmed 23-50 by Kansas at Lawrence the night before the Oklahoma team of 1935 turned around and defeated Kansas 36-26 on the same court the next night.
Longest Kansas winning streak—Nine games starting in 1920. Okla-
homa didn't break this streak until 1924.
Longest Oklahoma winning streak—Four games in 1928 and 1929.
Best goal robbing—By Al Wellhausen, Kansas center, Norman in 1937, who blocked a dozen Sooner goals as Kansas won 28-26. Center Hugh Ford did almost as well for Oklahoma in the 1940 game at Norman won by Oklahoma 47-36.
JAYHAWKERS RATE---re-enactment of the thrilling 63-51 Sooner victory last February with perhaps a reversal in scoring. Usually a home-court club, Kansas has been setting its most torid pace on the road this year.
(continued from page one) Schnellbacher or Ray Evans have proved capable of scoring 15 points or more in a game, spreading offensive duties.
As Oklahoma will play Black so will Kansas concentrate on Tucker. The big center is the Sooner's major offensive and defensive threat. Oklahoma claims to have the finest pair of guards in Sooner history in Allie Paine and McCurdy.
A packed fieldhouse will see the
The 10 Jayhawkers who will leave for Norman at 10:50 tonight from the Santa Fe station are Max Kissell, Sparky McSpadden, Paul Turner, Bill Fitzpatrick, Bill Brill, Armand Dixon, Buescher, Black, Evans and Schnellbacher.
